Abstract

In this proposed system, we discuss the universal issues about energy management for renewable resource, Wind / Photovoltaic (PV) hybrid power system in order to improve energy efficiency with LED’s as the light source and placing the wind turbine in addition to solar. The use of LED allows energy saving, high luminous efficiency and high useful life to the proposed system. And in the same way the position of the turbine plays a major role, we had overcome that design for effective power production. By placing the short armed turbine in the horizontal path due to the too and fro motion of the vehicles air pressure is developed on the blades of the turbine. The pressure is developed from both the directions keeps the turbine in continuous motion of all the vehicles such as Trucks, Lorries and Buses, etc., Due to this, an uninterrupted power generation by solar at day time and whenever the vehicles crosses the path both at day and night the turbine rotates and energy is generated. This would put down the electricity bill and reduce the pollution rate to a certain limit.
