Harvesting Electrical Energy from Road Traffic ppt

Introduction to Harvesting Electrical Energy from Road

The global energy demand is increasing day by day.
Today fossil sources account for 80% of energy demand.
Coal (25%), natural gas (21%), petroleum (34%) and nuclear (6.5%).
Only 0.4% of global energy demand is met by hydro, solar and wind.
A 500 megawatt coal-fired power plant produces approximately 3 million tons/year of CO2..
This results in rise in global temperature leading to Global Warming.
Also the coal availability is depleting.
It is necessary to look for alternative source which doesn't affect environment.

The UNO is urges to generate electrical power with reduced depletion of natural reserves.
Our project deals with the generation of electrical power from momentary load from traffic.
Because of increase in the usage of vehicles by individuals, the traffic conjunction is unavoidable.

Vehicle passes over the oil bed, and a high pressure on the oil bed proportional to the weight of the vehicle is created.
The oil flow towards the one sided inlet valve to reach the hydraulic motor.
The hydraulic motor coupled with DC generator converts the rotary torque developed into electrical energy.

Active Oil Injection System (AOIS) for heavy vehicle i.e. weight greater than 1 tone
Passive Oil Suction system (POSS) for light vehicle i.e. weight greater than 1 tone.

Auxiliary bed has about 30% of main bed oil.
It pressurizes the oil from the hydraulic motor towards main bed.
Hydraulic cylinders-connected between auxiliary bed and main oil bed’s storage line.
Active Oil Injection System (AOIS)

Use of Auxillary bed in Harvesting Electrical Energy from Road Traffic

POSS system has only the main bed.
The main bed consists of elastomers.
Elastomers has maximum load resistance and excellent impact factor.
After the oil bed is compressed elastomers will expand to its original size. And create a vacuum which leads to the suction of oil from oil storage line.

Converts hydraulic pressure and flow into torque and angular displacement (rotation).
Motor selection depends on the available average load of the vehicle.
Minimum possible pressure output will be100 kg/cm2
Minimum pressure required to rotate hydraulic motor is 72.2 kg/cm2

Eco-friendly
During heavy traffic, we can generate a maximum of 500W. For one day it can generate minimum of 10KW.
No separate land area should be alloted for erecting our HEERT.
Can be used to lighten the road side.
Independent on renewable and non-renewable source.

Generates more power than solar system with same cost.
By making proper surveying and by implementing this project in right areas this project will definitely enlighten the roads of our country.
