Power Generation on Highways using Vertical Axis Wind Turbine and Solar Energy

Electronics Engineering

Renewable energy reliability has been the main agenda of country nowadays, where the internet of things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 are crucial research way with a lot of opportunities for improvement and challenging work. Data obtained from Internet of Things is converted into meaningful information to improve and monitor wind turbine and solar performance, driving wind energy cost down and reducing risk. However, the actual implementation in Internet of Things is a very challenging task because the wind turbine system level and component level need real-time control. So, this paper is dedicated to investigating wind resource assessment and lifetime estimation of wind power modules using IoT. To illustrate this issue, a model is built with sub-models of an aerodynamic rotor connected directly to a multi-pole variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with many various sensors for measurement of energy stored in battery are integrated with IoT. Actual work is constructed with ESP32 Microcontroller and Google Cloud service. IoT has proved to increase the reliability of measurement strategies, monitoring accuracy, and quality assurance.
