ABSTRACT

In recent years we are facing the power cut problems due to increasing demand of

electricity, due to the development of industrial automation that requires huge power.

Multinational companies (MNCs) also need certain Mega Watt (MW) interruption free power

supply. This means that we may experience power cut much more than 60% in the short future.

To compensate this power demand, power production through hybrid energy harvesting from

piezoelectric material, rotational solar panel(sun tracking) and vertical axis wind turbine methods

are used. These concepts can be used separately or combined depending upon electric power

requirement. This project is used to power up the domestic houses and to power up the street

lights in two-way roads. Piezoelectric materials are integrated and placed beneath the road for a

particular distance from the street light. Due to mechanical stress produced by the vehicle,

piezoelectric material produces electrical energy which is then it is stored in grid battery. In

Rotational solar panel method, pendulum concept is used to rotate the solar panel to track the

sun. The aim of this is to get the maximum energy with little use of solar panel. This model has

an escapement wheel and a pendulum. A hanging weight transfers energy to an escapement

wheel, which is released periodically by a swinging pendulum. So that the panel attached to shaft

tracks the sun. Power produced from this is also stored in the same battery through charge

controller. Vertical axis wind turbine is placed between the two way roads. Opposite motion of

vehicle on two ways road induces a rotational force on the turbine which in turn produces an

electric power. This power is also stored in the same battery. The battery is then discharged to

power up the street lights. Same set up is built on the bypass road, so that hybrid energy

produced from these is used to power the street lights in Sta.Maria,Bulacan Bypass road. This

idea makes the street light to be independent of Electricity Board power supply
