Abstract
Man in his lifetime, uses energy in one form or the other. In fact whatever happens in
nature, results, out of the conversion of energy in one form or the other. The blowing of the
wind, the formation of the clouds and the flow of water are a few examples that stand
testimony to this fact. The extensive usage of energy has resulted in an energy crisis, and
there is a need to develop methods of optimal utilization, which will not only ease the crisis
but also preserve the environment.
Energy conservation is the cheapest new source of energy. This paper attempts to show
how energy can be tapped and used at a commonly used system, the road power generation.
Road Power Generation (RPG) is one of the most recent power generation concepts. This
device converts the kinetic energy of the vehicles into electric energy by installing moving
plate on the road, it takes the stroke motion of the vehicles and converts it to the rotary
motion by crank mechanism and it generates the electricity.
This paper also explains clearly, the working principle of the designed system, its
practical implementation, and its advantages. The utilization of energy is an indication of
the growth of a nation. One might conclude that to be materially rich and prosperous, a
human being needs to consume more and more energy. And this paper is best source of
energy that we get in day to day life.
To reduce power consumption due to street lighting, we propose replacing conventional
power consuming High Pressure Sodium Lamps and metal Halide lamps with LED lamps
which consume much less power. We also propose employing LED light dimming by
modifying the light intensity based on the traffic conditions on the road. Most of the
dimming systems currently deployed on the streets use computerized and remotely
controlled wireless monitoring systems which suffer from complexity, high cost and a
response that is dependent on the network data transfer speed.
