Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

6. ABSTRACT
5
This paper introduces the overarching concept of Road Power Generation
(RPG), focusing on a system designed to harness electricity from the surplus
kinetic energy of vehicles. The system incorporates a flip-plate, a gear
mechanism, a flywheel, and ultimately a generator that is connected at the
terminus. This setup ensures that the rotational motion of the flywheel is
effectively utilized to turn the generator's shaft, thereby producing electrical
power. Unlike traditional methods, the RPG eliminates the need for
piezoelectric materials, relying instead on an innovative flip-plate mechanism.
The proposed project is particularly suitable for installation along highways
with a substantial daily influx of vehicles, maximizing the electricity generated.
The resulting power can find applications in various contexts, including street
lighting, on-road battery charging stations, and diverse domestic uses such as
air conditioning, lighting, heating and more.
7. INTRODUCTION
6
Electricity, a pervasive energy form, finds itself at the forefront of global demand, a trend further
accelerated by burgeoning populations and the rapid adoption of electric vehicles. The comprehensive
study [3] underscores the exponential trajectory of India's power needs, surging from 306 GW in 2017 to
a projected 575 GW by 2027. This surge occurs against the backdrop of a 9% overall energy deficit in
India, with peak shortages peaking at 15.2%. Confronting this energy deficit head-on, researchers are
actively engaged in pioneering an inventive method for electricity generation: leveraging the traction
force generated between roads and the wheels of passenger vehicles. The palpable surge in vehicular
presence on roadways is underscored by a comprehensive study in India, revealing a substantial leap
from 53 registered motor vehicles per 1000 population in 2001 to a staggering 167 in 2015. This growing
vehicular landscape presents an intriguing opportunity - by capturing and converting a fraction of the
kinetic energy dissipated by these vehicles into the rotational motion required for a generator, a
consequential amount of electricity can be harnessed. This novel and ambitious project rests upon the
transformative premise of converting vehicular motion into sustainable, scalable electrical power,
potentially offering a substantial solution to India's energy needs.
8. SYSTEM OVERVIEW:
The principle of electric power generation using sliding mechanism is very simple. It is based on the
same principle as in the case of electricity generation in case of hydroelectric power plant, thermal
electric power plant, nuclear power plant, geothermal energy, wind energy, tidal energy etc. In all of the
above power plant mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. In this setup also mechanical
energy is converted into electrical power using a D.C. generator. Here the vertical motion of the top of
the sliding plate is converted into the rotational motion, which in turn rotates the generator and generates
electricity.
WORKING PRINCIPLE:
Road Power Generation (RPG) is a system designed to capture waste and kinetic energy from all
vehicles. This device converts the kinetic energy of the vehicles into electric energy. This is done by
moving plate installed on the road, this plate captured very small movement from the road surfaces, and
it transferred to a keyway flywheel system. From hundreds of wheels lies a single flywheel used to
driving machinery. The RPG included the method of driving one flywheel to another once it reached
predetermining velocity. The RPG flywheel system has been developed to achieve large amounts of
inertia in relatively small space. The captured energy is converted into electricity which is fed into the
power grid.
The system utilizes the traction force between the wheel and the sliding plate to generate electricity.
When the plates reciprocates then the same motion is transferred to the larger sprocket with the help of
shaft arrangement as shown in the figure ,thereby converting the reciprocating motion to the rotary
motion, this rotary motion is then transferred to the smaller sprocket with the help of the chain drive
hence the smaller sprocket also rotates, the rotary motion of the smaller sprocket is transferred to the
attached shaft which is mounted on the roller bearing, this rotary motion of the shaft is then transferred to
the stepper motor with the help of the gear and belt drive arrangement and then the power is produced,
here the bipolar steeper motor is used attached with the three pin led hence the power is produced when
the shaft rotates either in clockwise direction or the anticlockwise direction.

10. RESULT AND DISCUSSION:
Calculation Assuming the weight of the two-wheeler = 400Kg.
Assuming the location as toll booth
Assume Average speed of the vehicle = 20km/hr.
Maximum travel of the plate = 10cm
We know that, for mechanical systems the power is the combination of force and movement.
Therefore, power is the product of a force on an object and its velocity.
Output Power calculations:
Let us consider the mass of a vehicle moving over the flip plate = 400 Kg
Height of the plate from surface = 10 cm
Work done = Force x Distance
But Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity =400x10 =4000N
Therefore, Work done/sec = (4000x 0.10/60) = 6.66 watt (for one pushing force)
Therefore, power developed for 1 vehicle passing over the flip plate for one minute = 6.6 watt
Power developed for 60 min (1 hr.) = 400 watt/hr.
Power developed for 24 hrs. = 9600 KW/day
This power is sufficient to burn four streetlights in the roads in the nighttime.
Further, power developed is also depends upon the speed of vehicle passing through the mechanism.
Vehicles with higher speed will generate a greater tractive force upon the plate.
But practically it is impossible to get 100% efficiency. So, efficiency considered is 80%.
We could get up to, 9600*0.80 =7680 KW/day
