Hybrid Power Generation And Automatic Railway Gate Control
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
enerating electric power from the railway tracks and controlling the railway gates in automatic manner. Power consumption is increasing day by day due to modern civilization and industrialization. One of the key points to reduce the demands and dependency on the fossil fuels and the emission of the green house gases by the help of using green energy resources. Green energy sources such as solar, hydropower, biomass, geothermal and tidal power could meet the energy demand with reduced pollution on the environment and global warming. However they are not economical and the land used for the generation also high and low generated power density per unit area. Utilising the wind energy that available near by the railway tracks with the help of helical wind turbine. It has the potential to use the maximum wind when the locomotive is moving on the tracks and lower cost than the fossil fuels. The idea to generate the power is not new; it is practically used in high wind availability places. In this paper power generate by the wind that is developed by the movement of locomotive. Also generating the electric power from the vibration of the tracks when the locomotive passing on the track. A stepper motor is used to converts the vibration into electricity. The generated electricity is synchronised with the power from wind generator and stored in battery. Railway gate is controlled by the help of man power or the infra red sensor mounted on the track. The problem over that method is, if any object that crossing the sensor then the railway gate is closed. This cause unwanted traffic over the road. Mechanical damage of the cable is running from the sensor to the gate and the damage of sensors due to the atmospheric conditions such as lightning and dust. The problem is overcome in this paper with the help of Radio Frequency transmitter and receiver. Transmitter is fixed on the head of the locomotive and the receiver is located near by the railway gate. When the train comes in to the receiver range then the signal received by the receiver and the gate is closed. When the train leaves the gate then the gate is automatically opened.
