Hybrid Piezo Portable Shelter

EasyChair Preprint 4688

Abstract

Escalating demand for electricity has led to a shortage, especially due to the depleting fossil fuels. On the contrary, the rural areas of developing nations are not fully electrified. This gave way to research and implementation of renewable and distributed power generation. This paper presents a possible solution to economically overcome the energy deficit. A hybrid piezo electric portable shelter is proposed to be designed with solar panels and piezo electric sensors. The system comprises a piezo-electric mat, solar panels and an efficient controller. The control logic is developed aiming at maximizing the efficiency and utilization of each source. The proposed system design can be used to develop the shelter with commercially available solar panels and efficient piezo mats. The shed can be used to charge devices through USB ports and for lighting systems.

Keyphrases: Solar PV, hybrid portable shed, piezo electricity
