Title Smart Cities, Sustainable Paths: Energy Harvesting and Mobility Solutions for Tomorrow's Urban Landscapes
Year 2024
Published
Abstract This study presents a transformative guide for Purbachal City, strategically integrating smart energy, infrastructure, and mobility solutions. The study selects PVpanels and converters through meticulous assessments and simulations, ensuring the efficacy of a solar energy system that boasts an annual production of 7,317.34 MWh. To foster resiliencewithin cities, the smart infrastructure plan suggests installing solar panels on streetlight poles and foot-over structures. Notably, the Type D Electric Bus is a key contributor to sustainable urban mobility as an alternative to conventional fossil fuel-powered buses. Economic viability, as demonstrated by the HOMER simulation with a low LCOE of 0.02 USD, an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 11%, a Return on Investment (ROI) of 7.7%, and a simple payback period of 8.4 years. 84,479 tons of CO2 will be saved by implementing this system shows a significant environmental benefit. PVsyst simulation has been conducted to verify the result by HOMER. This meticulous strategy and comprehensive approach will position Purbachal City as a beacon of smart and sustainable urban development, aligning with global trends and fostering environmental responsibility, economic growth, and an enhanced quality of life.
