INNOVATIVE HYBRID POWER GENERATION ON NATIONAL HIGHWAYS

Abstract

Renewable energy sources i.e. energy generated from solar, wind, biomass, hydro power, geothermal and
ocean resources are considered as a technological option for generating clean energy.But the energy generated
fromsolar and wind is much less than the production by fossilfuels, however, electricity generation by utilizing PV cells
and wind turbine increased rapidly in recent years. So many of researchers go through various topologies ofSolar-Wind
hybrid Powergeneration system thatharnesses the renewable energies of Sun and Wind to generate electricity.This paper
reviews the idea that we used here to generate electrical energy from Wind mill combined with solar tracking system.
Here wind energy is utilized from wind pressure i.e produced due to the vehicle motion on highways. And solar energy is
harnessed during day time by using smart solar tracking system to capture the maximum energy. The overall system
control relies mainly on microcontroller. And it ensures the optimum utilization of resourcesand hence improves the
efficiency as compared with theirindividual mode of generation. Also it increases the reliability and reduces the
dependence on one single source. Hence with reference to hybrid topologies the detailed survey for proposed entitled
work is carried out in this paper.
