Goal of the work
Design of lamppost for street lighting. The lighting system is based on LED lamps and a complete design of both wind and solar generators has been proposed in the work.
A complete design of a Savonious wind generator has been included which incorporates a custom design of PM generator based on neodymium magnets. Electrical, electronic and mechanical considerations have been analyzed together in order to propose a smart system for street lighting which incorporates renewable energy utilization. The use of this system in the Campus de Gijon (EPI Gijón) has been considered as a design example.
This project has been developed and coordinated under a collaboration between Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Electronics areas of EPI Gijón.
