The whole world is now running after green energy. The utilization of energy is an indication of the growth of a nation. Maximum consumed energy comes from conventional energy sources like gas, oil, coal, etc. which are limited. It is difficult to meet up the demand with existing conventional energy resources. So, green energy or alternative energy can be the best way to meet increased demand today. Electricity can be produced from the speed breaker which is considered an alternative energy source of power generation. In our country, the speed breaker is about 10 cm in height. Thousands of vehicles run over the road every day which provides huge pressure on the road. A system could be developed to have about 10 cm defection with huge downward pressure energy which would be used to rotate wells turbines by using compressed air. The enormous study had been carried out to improve power generation from speed breaker by using the rack & pinion method and compressed air. But none of the studies is carried out by using wells turbines from compressed air. In our research, a small model has been constructed. From the experimental data, it is seen that an average 500 N Load can give an output of 1V voltage / 0.7A current / 1.71 kWh power. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.

The current scenario of energy demands in India have waded new research areas for hunting the alternative energy resources to compensate the polluting non renewable resources. It brings larger importance to the idea of harvesting the frictional energy between the Roads and the vehicular tyres. This is exerted as a stress on the road surface accompanied by Heat dissipation. This wasted form for energy can be made productive by using Piezoelectric Generator and Thermoelectric Generator. Piezoelectric Generator generates electricity in response to stress acting on its mechanical axis while Thermoelectric Generator generates power when an ambient temperature difference is provided. These are embedded below the road surface with suitable insulations and proper structure to improve its performance. This system would have very low capital cost when compared to the total cost of power generation, transmission and distribution in conventional power generation methods with the life time of this system in concern . The pollution free electricity thus generated from the road by using these generators can be stored in a battery and later used for the domestic electrification. This method will be best suited for the electrification of all time loads like Traffic signals, street lights, lighting especially in highways.

Main Component

Researches are always thinking of a way to produce power to fuel due to the needs of the world today. In broad, green energy source such as thermal, hydroelectric, solar and wind turbine has become popular, but it does not limit to new idea generation of power. One of new discovery is the use of solar window, the manufacturing and cost of the panel is still in an early stage where the price of the panel is considered quite expensive. In this paper, the speed bump is used as a main component for power generation. Generally, for safety issues, the speed bump is put into an area where the vehicle needs to slow down. During this, a vehicle weight contact with the speed bump and therefore energy is created. This energy can be reused to power traffic light, light post or supply general electricity to a particular building. Basically, the concept of kinetic energy is discussed in general besides the design and development of a power generating speed bump. However, the efficiency and the durability are looked into consideration. In conclusion, the innovative design of the speed bump as a power generation seems to be promising, and it offers opportunities for new innovation power producing device on the road.

The importance of socialization about alternative energy that can be used for daily needs, for example from the simplest such as lighting at home, although not permanent but is very useful in the event of a sudden power outage. The high price of electricity makes small communities have to think twice as much to regulate daily expenditure needs so as to encourage to find alternative energy that can produce electricity that is environmentally friendly. Seeing the large number of detergent products in Indonesia, it inspires to process the waste from laundry clothes or other objects and even the detergent water itself, because so far the used laundry waste is thrown away so that it can pollute the environment. The purpose of this study is to reduce the effect of environmental pollution due to used laundry waste which is used as an alternative energy source to turn on lighting lamps at home or even on the road. The method used in this research is a chemical or electrolysis reaction involving zinc and carbon as well as the content in detergent washing water. From several experiments conducted for 3 detergents with several parameters, namely the amount of mass and water volume of 120 ml. From the experiment the voltage is 1 volt with a current of 2 mA for detergent Rinso, for DAIA detergent the voltage is 0.7 and current is 0.56 mA, and the experiments tested on SOKLIN produce a voltage of 0.8 volt and a current of 1 mA. Whereas the testing which was carried out randomly with a volume of 1200 ml water produced a voltage of 0.547 v with a large current of 0.006 mA. This proves that detergent waste can be utilized as a renewable energy although it still requires further research but this can ease the burden on the community to pay for electricity from PLN and in the subsequent development independent power plants are built in each house so that the community can save on electricity.

The purpose of the study was the comparative analysis of Russian and foreign practices of alternative energy development at the local level. The object of this research is the set of administrative influences that act as determinants of the formation of generation based on renewable energy as part of sustainable development of local communities and green economy. The subject of study is mechanisms, tools and practices of development of alternative energy. The main methods of research work are general theoretical research methods: analysis and synthesis, as well as methods of measurement, comparison, grouping and graphics. To assess the "gaps" between the current and target status of "green" energy as a set of controlled subsystems, the authors propose a method of GAP analysis, at this the main subsystems are allocated as the share of clean energy in the total volume of its generation, the average share of domestic equipment and components in the composition of power plants for alternative energy, the average level of depreciation of power plants to alternative energy, the average time to receive a construction permission for installations of renewable energy sources and connection to the central power grid. The article analyzed and systematized to-date mechanisms to stimulate the development of alternative energy in municipalities and regional governments in foreign countries. General constraints in the development of alternative power generation are revealed. The differentiation of regions of Russia according to the share of "green" power generation in its total production is made. Practices for effective implementation of infrastructure projects of "green" energy in municipalities of the Russian Federation are described and incentives for alternative energy development at the local level are defined. On the basis of generalization of experience of infrastructure projects in the field of alternative energy in cities and regions of Russia the most significant "barriers" in the development of renewable energy infrastructure at the local level are selected and classified , which include economic, administrative, institutional, technological and climatic ones. Several recommendations for the development of incentives to overcome constraints are formulated.

AbstractA simulation model to evaluate risks in Power Systems including green energy sources to generate electricity for electro mobility use is presented in the paper. The model allows to calculate risk indicator that characterize the performance of the Power Systems. The model considers the additional risks of wind and solar variability in the Power Systems, through wind farms and PV farms, respectively. Also, in the recent years, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road have been rapidly increasing. Charging this increasing number of EVs is expected to have an impact on the power grid especially if high charging powers and opportunistic charging are used. Multiple papers have observed that the charging stations are used by multiple users during the day. In a context where electric mobility is gaining increasing importance as a more sustainable solution for urban environments, this work presents the optimization of charging profiles of the potential users of these charging stations. We analyzed the charging profiles in a power grid with renewables sources of energy and we determine the optimal charging profiles for the power grid based on maximizing the energy delivered by renewable sources of energy.

World's about 80% of the energy consumption is sustained by the extraction of fossil fuels, which consists of oil, coal and gas. Another non-renewable resource that is exploited by humans is subsoil minerals such as precious metals that are mainly used in the production of industrial commodities. It is only because of the increasing population and subsequent growth of materialistic attitude in human's behavior that has lead our planet to an exhaustible measure and subsequent release of harmful carbon particulate from the vehicles’ exhaust pipes also cannot be overlooked as it contains many harmful Green House Gases like: Carbon-dioxide, Carbon-monoxide, Methane etc. emerging out of Thermal Power Houses and Industries. This is also causing environmental damage and changes in the and atmosphere around earth's surface. Unfortunately, our future generation may face awful challenges for their survival due to these changes. Although, scientists and environmentalists, are seriously focusing to research an alternative energy to be helpful for the development of society and curbing the challenging climatic conditions. India being a geographically very rich pasture and has more than 10 months sun-shine (i.e. 300 days against 365 days) in a year. Thus, Solar Energy can be a better alternative in India to be exploited as a major source of Electric Power Deficit. Currently in India, Installed capacity of Power is 302087.87 MW and Generation is 104867.30 MW against Peak demand of 148166 MW (a deficit of around 45,000MW). As an experiment in Lucknow, if an average house-hold installs 2 kWh Roof Top Solar Power Generation, it will help to generate around 2-2.50 million units (2,000-2,500MW) in a year by approx. 10 lacks existing houses in Lucknow and light additionally more than 100-150 villages with current installed capacity of power generation under Solar Green Energy Potential and without damaging Environment. Thus, Solar Roof Top Power Generation can create almost surplus power in India by the year 2020 even if 50% of houses of countrymen decide to place Solar Roof Top Panels in their houses under major awareness programme.

Hydrogen energy fuel cell is one of the clean/green energy solutions for the environmental pollution, global warming, and petroleum energy shortage. This study investigates the dynamic characteristic of the green hydrogen energy fuel cell: Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). PEMFC has been adopted to be the power supplier of the vehicle, small train, etc. A lot of researchers aim on pure electrical property analysis. However, to put PEMFC power system on the road, some mechanical properties of the system should also been examined. In this paper, the dynamic characteristic of a single PEMFC is studied. A single PEMFC (L112×W82×D6 mm) is set up and measured for the time and frequency response. Several fundamental modes are found experimentally which should be avoid during operation period of PEMFC especially in a moving vehicle.

This paper presents a review of harvesting green energy from road. There are three forms of green energy exist in road: light, thermal and mechanical energy. Photovoltaic technology, thermoelectric technology, directly heat transferring and piezoelectric technology are discussed in this paper, as well as the cases studied in Europe, USA, Japan, Israel and China. Solar panels installed along road are current available to harvest light energy from the roadside land. Alternatively, the solar panels can be installed on the road instead of pavement structures, such as the Solar RoadwayTM. This technology is rather conceptual at this moment, and the main challenge is to design and build durable materials and structures that can withstand traffic at a reasonable maintenance and replacement cost. Thermoelectric generators can potentially be embedded in pavements, and generate electric power from the temperature gradient existing in pavements. However, instrument capable of efficiently generate electricity from the relatively small temperature gradient in pavement is still under development. Directly heat transfer solution is to have fluid flow through pavement, and the fluid is heated (in summer) by the pavement. An extra benefit in addition to energy collection is that this method can reduce pavement temperature as well as the associated negative effects on pavement performance and the environment. However how the heated fluid can be utilized was not clear. Electricity can be generated by piezoelectric ceramic generators embedded in pavement, as a result of the compressive stress and deformation induced by moving vehicles. Trials have been reported in Israel and China, and it was estimated that one lane-mile of highway can potentially general electricity of 200 kW.
