Abstract

ABSTRACT With the growing need for cleaner energy sources, research into the energy harvesting industry has increased over the last years. Roadways and transport infrastructure are promising contexts for energy harvesting due to their global coverage, being continuously exposed to everyday traffic-induced pressures. This study presents a model for Technical and Economic Analysis, as well as a Cost-Benefit Analysis model for Road Pavement Energy Harvesting systems. These models are then applied in a grid injection scenario, testing their applicability on a system developed by a startup company. Results show that the tested technology is economically viable for scenarios under subsidized regimes, but not yet for grid injection applications, suggesting the need for financial incentives in the field. However, it is argued that these systems hold major social and environmental value, enabling different types of business models that might increase stakeholders’ motivation to invest.
道路路面能量收集:技术、经济和成本效益分析
随着对清洁能源的需求日益增长,对能量收集行业的研究在过去几年中有所增加。由于道路和交通基础设施覆盖全球,持续承受着日常交通压力,因此它们是能源收集的有希望的环境。本研究提出了路面能量收集系统的技术和经济分析模型,以及成本效益分析模型。然后将这些模型应用于网格注入场景,测试它们在初创公司开发的系统上的适用性。结果表明,在补贴制度下,测试的技术在经济上是可行的,但在电网注入应用中还不可行,这表明需要在该领域采取财政激励措施。然而,有人认为这些系统具有重要的社会和环境价值,可以实现不同类型的商业模式,从而增加利益相关者的投资动机。
