Independent power system for traffic lights through solar energy in Ecuador-Manabí-Portoviejo
Keywords:
autonomous systems, energy efficiency, renewable sources, solar energy, traffic lightsAbstract
The need for sustainability solutions promotes the use of renewable and distributed energy sources in urban and rural applications, the energy situation in Ecuador promotes the search for alternatives for the energization of traffic lights in urban areas, the objective of the research was to analyze and design an autonomous power system for traffic lights using solar energy. It was used as an investigative, descriptive and analytical methodology. The result was that solar energy can be used to power traffic lights, guaranteeing greater autonomy and reduction in maintenance costs. Furthermore, the implementation of this technology in urban areas could be an efficient and sustainable alternative to conventional systems that depend on the electrical grid.
