overview
An innovative road-based technology that captures the otherwise wasted energy from the motion of cars and HGVs and converts that into usable renewable energy.
How it works
Energy Harvesting: When a vehicle drives over a speed bump (RBS) embedded into the road, the weight and motion of the car pushes down, triggering a mechanical process.
AI Monitoring: The entire process is managed by a sophisticated series of sensors and algorithms to ensure efficient operation and minimise system downtime.
Energy Transformation: Hydraulic systems installed away from the road capture this pressure and convert into electricity through a collection of pumps, accumulators, a hydraulic motor and a generator.
Distribution & Storage Systems: The electricity generated can be used on-site, or stored in batteries for later use.
why is it important?
- Renewable Energy: This system generates clean energy without needing fossil fuels.
- Captures otherwise wasted energy: Vehicles don’t need to do anything extra; just by driving normally they help generate electricity.
- Sustainable: As long as there are vehicles moving on the road, energy can continuously be harvested.
The benefits
- Environmentally Friendly: Clean, renewable energy from vehicles.
- Energy Security: The Solution provides clear indication of future electricity pricing for years to come.
- CAPEX Free: Zero capital cost solution for businesses
