Enhancement of Power Generation in Highway Using Wind Energy Conversion System Integrated with PV

The rising global population and economic growth, combined with rapid urbanization, will result in a significant increase in energy demand. To solve this problem in the coming years, the world will need significantly more resources, primarily cleanly produced electricity. On the other hand, electricity demand is rising at twice the rate of overall energy consumption, and is expected to more than double by 2040. So, in order to meet the energy demands, the proposed approach includes a concept of a new Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) design that generates power from moving vehicles and further integrated with PV for increased power generation. Seasonal variations can be accommodated by the related hybrid scheme. Using a charge controller, the produced power can be stabilized to a 12V output. The generated energy can be stored in batteries or supplied to the grid, acting as an energy storage device for society. The power that has been stored can be used in the future or during non-windy seasons.
