Abstract

A clean and environment friendly electric power generation with consideration of pedal system and solar energy system is introduced in this paper. The villages, cities and towns grappling with the problems of electricity cut, outage and shortage. In this paper a simple system is proposed to generate electricity at a small level. A gym bicycle pedal system (GBPS) with solar photovoltaic (SPV) system is presented to solve the aforementioned problems. The system is being considered for the power system management to schedule energy output without any fuel consumption. It is a trouble-free approach to generate electricity and seems more helpful to those area/regions where no power connection is available; even in 21stcentury. The effectiveness of methodology presented here is experimentally verified on the GBPS and obtained energy output is integrated with SPV system to fulfill the power demand. For smooth operation of mechanism a 1:30, turn-ratio gear box is used. A 50 kWp SPV system with GBPS considered in this work. The predicted load is being managed by the energy management in peak hours and off-peak hours. The scheme presented here is a good alternative for the electricpower generation with zero emission to the environment.
