IoT Based Highway light powering system using wind and monitoring system

Abstract

This document contains information about the highway streetlight powering system and how to maintain it so that continuous power supply can be provided to highways using renewable energy sources. Renewable power sources are not only solar power, which is currently used in the power system in such applications. Instead of solar power, we are using wind as a potential source to generate electricity for highways. Highways in villages or roads in sub-urban areas are not electrified yet, and those which are electrified use electricity from the local power stations. Hence, no renewable power source is used in such applications. As a result, a large portion of central and state government revenue is wasted in powering such systems. Due to the upcoming shortage of coal in India, it’s very important to optimize every unit that could be transformed into renewable power using an optimization unit. An IoT (Internet of Things) system is used to detect and locate the nits which are used to generate electricity using wind, and it can also be used to monitor the output power, electrical loads, faults and status of streetlights on highways. Implementation of IoT in our unit can help us to detect the output and working state of streetlights and hence help us to electrify each and every road in our rural and sub-urban areas.
