A NEW CONCEPT FOR UTILIZATION OF SOLAR ENERGY AS SOLAR ROADWAYS FOR A SMART CITY
Journal Title: World Journal of Engineering Research and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
The smallest cities initiative by the government of India presents an opportunity to transform the way in which we run our cities. Development of cities is depends on the energy sources i.e., coal, biomass & waste, petroleum & oath liquids, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric etc. in which mostly are fossil fuels. However fossil fuels are here to stay for few decades, no longer. Therefore it is important that a few technologies be considered for research, development and deployment through the transition phase from fossil fuels to renewable forms of energy i.e. wind energy and solar energy. These technologies made the city as “Smart City”. Now-a-days solar energy in the form of solar roof is a popular energy resource. India has a potential of 750 GW of solar energy according to the National Institute of Solar Energy. This paper presents a review on a new concept of solar energy as solar roadways. In this new concept of solar roadways, roads of cities are constructed with the solar panel which is based on the photovoltaic system. Energy is generated by absorption of sun rays as well as frictional heat produced by the movement of vehicles on the road and energy is generated.
