Towards A Clean Energy: Design A Wind-Solar Hybrid Power Generation System for Highway Streetlights

As the world's power consumption is regularly increasing, demand for more power generation is inevitable. The current system of Malaysia's majority street light depends on the electrical grid system that operates under considerable manpower and maintenance routine; these systems are not reliable as they are dependent on an electrical grid system that uses non-renewable sources. This paper will describe a novel system that includes a hybrid renewable energy system for street light using combined solar energy with photovoltaic panels and vertical wind. The utilization of a merged solar and wind turbine system was utilized to ensure the supply of electricity independently due to the system working as a standalone system for the supply of street lights with a 24/7 monitoring system. Based on experimental findings, the voltage produced by solar or wind depends on climate changes. The dual system's voltage and current generated are reliable and nearly constant since both energies are generated.
