SELF SUSTAINING WIND-POWERED STREETLIGHT

Abstract

This project focuses on harnessing wind energy  to generate electricity for street lighting. It integrates an  ESP32 microcontroller to monitor key parameter such as voltage, current, speed, and light. An infrared (IR) sensor is used to track the rotational speed of the wind turbine, while a current sensor module measures the electrical output from the generator or DC motor. Light detection is handled by a light-dependent resistor (LDR), ensuring the streetlights automatically activate in low-light conditions. Additionally, all monitored data and system controls are accessible via  a mobile application (Blynk), which is programmed into the ESP32 for remote management and real-time monitoring. Its parameter  also  display in liquid crystal display (LCD).
