Indian company WindStream Energy Technologies has developed a hybrid wind-solar street lighting system for mountainous, coastal and rural areas.
WindStream Energy Technologies, an Indian company, has developed a wind- and solar-powered hybrid LED street light system that generates more energy per square meter than a solar street light.
It has recently introduced this off-grid lighting system by installing it at the Hyderabad campus of the National Institute for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj in India. The off-grid LED street lighting system includes solar modules, a wind turbine, backup batteries, a controller, and an LED.
The battery guarantees the continuous supply of energy and covers the deficiencies in the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources. The hybrid streetlight is available in 20W, 40W and 60W versions.
“The light dependent resistor (LDR) of the streetlight allows for automatic on/off. The passive infrared (PIR) sensor helps to reduce energy consumption and increase the autonomy of the streetlight,” Venkat Kumar Tangirala, managing director of Windstream Energy Technologies, explained to pv magazine . “Winch installation allows the panel to be lowered, cleaned and rolled into position.” |
