1 Solar/Wind Hybrid Renewable Power Generators for Minnesota Rural Transportation Applications Taek Kwon and Ryan Weidemann University of Minnesota-Duluth Ray Starr, Kevin Schmidt and Roger Sowder Minnesota Department of Transportation

2 Outline Introduction Renewable light pole Renewable power station for DMS Conclusion

3 Renewable Energy for Rural ITS The types of ITS technologies that could benefit: Traffic-activated advisory signs Advance warning signals/flashers for hazardous locations Variable message signs Road-weather condition detection systems Remote rural areas Lack of easily accessible power sources High cost of bringing electric utility Solar/wind generated power is independent of distance No monthly electric fees

4 Renewable Light Pole

5 Lighting at Night

6 Why Solar/Wind Hybrid? Complementing resources Lack of winds but more sunlight in summer Lack of sunlight but more winds on bad weather System Redundancy If PV breaks down, wind still generates power, or vice versa. Increased power and system reliability

7 November 18, 2006 Rainy, windy, and cloudy

8 December 31, 2006 Ice and snow storm

9 June 12, 2007 Sunny, calm, and no precipitation

10 June 19, 2007 Sunny, windy, and no precipitation

11 Summary of Daily Power Generation Using the NREL website for fall and spring Solar Energy Fall and Spring about 75% of Summer Wind Energy Fall and Spring about 50% of Winter

12 Purchased Component List

13 Summary Wind/Solar hybrid renewable system Complementing Many rural ITS applications could benefit Because power budget is independent of distance

14 Renewable Power Station for DMS: Project Tasks Analyze DMS power requirements Develop prototype renewable power station Design controller Install prototype unit at rural location Collect data and evaluate prototype system Develop design and procurement specs Final Report

15 ENTERPRISE Program A pooled-fund organization with member agencies in US, Canada, and Netherlands Support jointly-sponsored ITS projects of shared interest Provide test beds in a variety of environments and locations for emerging ITS technologies Identify common needs within the group and proceed with appropriate technical activities

16 ENTERPRISE Members Arizona Department of Transportation Colorado Department of Transportation Dutch Ministry of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Iowa Department of Transportation Kansas Department of Transportation Ministry of Transportation of Ontario Minnesota Department of Transportation Transport Canada Virginia Department of Transportation Washington State Department of Transportation
