NEW SYSTEM FOR CLEAN AND SELF-SUSTAINABLE URBAN ENERGY GENERATION.

► The descriptive analysis developed here synthetically tries to fulfil the objective of making known in broad outline the benefits of a self-sustainable system for generating electricity without emissions at all and with costs close to zero, whose installation will be located in the same cities where this energy is consumed.

► The project refers to the development of an urban system that enables the generation of electricity in a CLEAN, SELF-SUSTAINABLE and LOCAL way, which would be the possibility of the urgent replacement of conventional generation systems, whose high rates of CO2 emissions are negatively affecting the atmosphere of our planet in a way that, if not reversed soon, could be difficult to return. Although the climate and environmental issue has been from the beginning the focus of our work over the last 10 years developing this self-sustainable engineering project, no less important has been the collateral benefit of proposing a system of energy production in the same city where it is consumed, avoiding the enormous costs of moving it, as well as the use of something that abounds NATURALLY in every city, as is the kinetic energy / vehicular potential, which until now has been totally untapped.

STRATEGIC LOCATION IN THE URBAN AND SUBURBAN CONTEXT

► The implementation of the platforms can vary according to the specific use required, such as on speed bumps or overpasses, at road crossings and urban streets, in the adjacency of schools or hospitals, as well as in the accesses to ports with large vehicles (here the energy production would be much higher, being able to multiply by 3 times the interurban generation). We would also have the platforms at motorway toll booths or at bus stops, where due to the vehicle weight factor similar to large trucks in ports and also for the frequency of buses, in addition to a location with little urban intervention, we agree that it would be one of the ideal areas for large amounts of interurban energy generation on a regular and ascending way.

URBAN AND/OR SUBURBAN INTERVENTION

► Let us bear in mind that each module generates a certain amount of electrical energy when a vehicle passes over it, i.e. the more platforms, the greater the production, and the greater the energy produced the heavier the vehicle and/or the more traffic passes over the platform, since it is through vertical contact and the pressure exerted by the vehicle on the transversal mobile strips that enables this weight in movement to be transformed into electricity by the platform's internal system. More platforms, more energy; more weight, more energy; more traffic, more energy. These are the 3 basic external parameters that will define the amount of energy generated, just like a windmill: more wind, more energy; or a solar panel: more solar intensity, more generation.

SELF-SUSTAINING CITIES

► In order to dimension the benefit of the present urban energy sustainability project, it is worth relating the constantly rising cost of emission rights, which already stands at 60 euros per tonne of carbon, with the savings that would mean that each city could dispense with fossil energies transported from outside the suburbs and could self-supply and manage itself locally through an abundant source of 100% CLEAN, RENEWABLE and ZERO COST energy.

BALANCING SOURCE FOR GREEN ENERGIES - WIND AND SOLAR

► One of the main constraints that could delay the urgent challenge to meet the proposed energy transition goals is the current dependence on conventional fossil fuels of gas, oil or coal. ► The central issue is the climate unpredictability to which the two main green energies, wind and solar, are subjected, and on which we rely to fulfil the international commitments we have made. ► It is because of this lack of continuity that at times of low green generation, the undesired "help" from conventional energy sources is required, delaying the transition to a 100% renewable energy model. ► This is where the strategic relevance of this project grows, where urban and local kinetic generation, without being affected by climatic variables, would be able to complement and sustain the other two renewables in times when their production drops, achieving a better balance in the supply of green energy. In addition, it would save millions of dollars by dispensing with polluting fossil fuels that are generally imported, such as gas, oil and coal, which in spite of the ecological and economic damage already known, seriously compromises the administration of energy as a strategic resource of national sovereignty.
