ABSTRACT

• In today’s era, it is very Important to get power from the Renewable sources of energy for securing the world as well as the nature, Here in this paper we are going to demonstrate the artificial tree which can be capable of producing the wind energy, solar energy as well as other renewable type of energy systems if required. It will also provide the natural look to the environment and will provide the shadow everywhere and in the deserts too.

HOW DOES IT WORKS In this, we are using the solar cells as well as the DC

generator to produce the electricity. Here we are fixing the Solar Cell on the all Leaf of

this artificial tree which will gather the sun rays to produce electricity and at another side we are providing a shaft support of motor to tree Trunk of tree, as the trunk rotates the DC generator will generate the electricity.

This power, we are using to charge the Battery by appropriate circuit and after that we are going to use that stored power for the required Load by using Inverter.

WHAT IS THE NEED?

As the future is near it is expected to face huge energy crisisAre we witnessing a true revolution in renewable energy resourcesWe must have to be dependent on Renewable sources of energy to save our Environment.

Effecting factors and control For getting rid from the voltage alternation ,Electric

circuits will be used The speed of DC generators can be managed by Gear

systems Boost converters will be used for the boosting the

voltages from various parts. The branches size and the height of the tree can be

determined by the power need .

•The BROAD leaf trees can provide between 33500 kWh and 7000kWh per year, in addition to providing shade, breeze, and beauty.

DESIGN OF LEAF:-

• Leaf design can be of various types like-

PERFECT PLACES FOR THIS TECHNOLOGY

The desert has a unique beauty and a abundance of renewable energy, we believe that we can preserve the beauty and exploit its resources without doing damage to the desert EcosystemEvery desert highway mile can generate as much as 1.2MW of clean electricity per year, or power over 200 homes. Protects the environment from otherwise releasing tons of CO2.

Other Places which most suits are:-

Parks Homes/Institutions/Offices New housing estates Golf courses and resorts Mountain regions Coastlines Highways Airports Balconies, verandas Private gardens De-forested areas

MODIFICATIONS THAT CAN BE DONE

Piezo electric system can be implemented at branches ending at trunk

MODIFICATION IN TREE TRUNK

• The trunk of the tree can be modified and it can be design in such a way that when ever wind strike over that ,It can starts rotating

MODIFICATIONS IN THE SOLAR CELLS

• Here we can change the solar panel with the THERMO PHOTO VOLTAIC CELL which will be much efficient than the solar cells.

• Right now we can’t put it here in our project because it’s still in development.

ADVANTAGES

Here, we are using only solar energy and wind energy which are the renewable energy sources.

There is no requirement of large amount of Space. The maintenance cost is negligible. Can be fitted anywhere, may be at top of the

building else in garden or in open areas etc. It will add beauty to the Nature.

CONCLUSION

By using this we can overcome with the energy scarcity and solve the future upcoming problems due to the shortage of the electrical energy

We can protect our environment too, since as it’s a renewable source of energy which help our environment to stay green with pollution free.
