Roadway Wind-Solar Hybrid Power Generation and Distribution System Toward Energy-Plus Roadways
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-10-0024
Project Abstract:
The aim of this project is to develop a novel roadway wind/solar hybrid power generation and distribution system (RHPS) toward energy-plus roadways, where energy-plus stands for annual energy consumption that is less than production. The RHPS would be a low footprint, intelligent, and multilayer power system designed for integration into urban and suburban areas, which reduces the need for new distribution networks. The RHPS represents a dramatic change in the role of the public right-of-way from an energy consumer to an energy producer, and therefore will aid in reducing transportation system operating costs.
Goals
The key project objective is to research and develop technology that could lead to transformational changes in the way that the public right-of-way is used to harvest and utilize renewable energy.
