A RENEWABLE ENERGY APPROACH BY FAST MOVING VEHICLES

CONTENTS:INTRODUCTIONWIND ENERGYSOLAR ENERGYEXCRETAPLANT LAYOUTADVANTAGESCONCLUSION

INTRODUCTION:This paper attempts to explain an innovative method of generating clean energy in a fast moving vehicle (train) by various methods.Three methods used to produce energy from fast moving train are: 1.Wind 2. solar and 3.Excreta

WIND ENERGYWhen train moves the wind flows in opposite direction of motion of train.The air flow will cause turbine to rotate and thus electricity can be produced.The kinetic energy of the wind movement thus created is used to generate electricity. During this, when a wind turbine, if fit to the moving vehicle will generate adequate amount of energy.

POWER = (DENSITY OF AIR*SWEPT AREA*VELOCITY CUBED)1/2 P = (1/2)*A*V3DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION:Capturing wind induced by moving vehicles:

Roof Materials Integrated with Solar Cell Modules :Solar cell modules, many of which are now used for power generation, are classified roughly into two categories based on the cell material.The rear surface is enclosed with a weatherproof tetra resin film, and covered with a fireproof board as the roof material .On average modern photovoltaic (PV) solar panels will produce 8 - 10 watts per sq-ft of solar panel area, produce roughly a 9W per sq-ft .For example, a roof of (20*10) sq-ft is 200 sq-ft, 200sq-ft*9W/sq-ft=1800W

Using Human excreta as a Resource:Biodegradable wastes shall be processed by composting for stabilization of wastes.The estimation of the domestic wastage disposed into a septic tank for a period of 24 hours.Waste recycling is promoted for both economic and environmental Reasons.Anaerobic digestion process involves four stages 1.hydrolysis 2.acidogenesis 3.acetogenesis 4.methanogenesis.

CHEMICAL REACTIONS:Anode reaction CH3OH + H2O CO2 + 6H+ + 6e-Cathode reaction: 3/2 O2 + 6H+ + 6e- 3H20Overall cell reaction: CH3OH + 3/2 O2 CO2 + 2H20 + electrical energy

ADVANTAGES:These methods are implementing to produce clean enegry & stabilization of wastes produced in train.Effective use of train roof space.This technique would be capable of producing Lakhs of MW of power all over India.

CONCLUSION:There are huge potential for producing electricity from renewable sources. The technology is expected to contribute to the cause of the environment as it helps to reduce carbon emissions and also assists the government in saving on fuel too
