Abstract

Harvesting energy stands alone as one of the most promising techniques for approaching the global energy problem without depleting natural resources. Energy harvesting technologies from road infrastructure is a new research territory that encompasses technologies that capture the wasted energy occurred at pavements, accumulate and store it for later use. At recent years, using hybrid energy storage systems has become a global solution to supply continuous, reliable and clean energy to power electrical. By using these technologies, many advantages of energy storage systems can be combined properly and an adequate energy supply for specific applications is achievable. The proposed system is to generate electrical energy using Savonius Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) combined with leaf-shaped solar cells which is structured like a tree. The wind energy due to the vehicle motion on highways and the solar energy is utilized for power generation. The generated electrical power from the hybrid system can be stored in the battery and it is used in automated E-charging station in roadways for charging the Electric Vehicles (EV). This system involves the integration of two renewable energy sources thus it will give continuous power and it immensely reduces the requirement of fossil fuels to generate electricity which results in greatly reduced CO2 and CO-related emissions. The combination of this hybrid system will be beneficial in future aspects.
