Abstract

The global imperative to transition towards sustainable energy sources has sparked innovative solutions for energy generation and environmental conservation challenges. As fossil fuel usage for power generation continues to raise environmental concerns, converting kinetic energy from vehicular motion via speed breakers presents a unique avenue for renewable power production. This study explores the concept of utilizing speed breakers as a means of electricity generation to power little power-consuming but critical load, with Covenant University serving as a pertinent case study. This research investigates the technical, economic, and environmental implications of implementing speed breaker-based electricity generation within Covenant University. Analyzing the university's energy consumption patterns showed that some loads do not require much power but are critical. Street lighting is one of such loads. This study discerns the potential contribution of speed breaker-generated electricity to address energy demands by simulation and constructing a prototype. Advanced engineering tools, such as simulation software Fusion 360 and Proteus 8.0, were employed to model and integrate the roller speed breaker mechanism with the electrical infrastructure. The findings offer valuable insights into the viability of speed breaker-generated electricity as an alternative energy source, paving the way for sustainable energy practices in educational institutions and beyond.
