Abstract

This research proposes an analysis of power requirements for the development of an optimal hybrid power generation system, especially for level crossings. Level crossings are critical points in transportation infrastructure that require a reliable power supply for train operations and traffic management. In overcoming this challenge, a hybrid approach that combines renewable energy sources. Technical and environmental analysis methods are used to produce the most efficient and environmentally friendly energy combinations. A detailed review of solar panel, wind turbine and energy storage technologies was conducted to determine the ideal combination according to the specific needs of the level crossing. This research contributes to a better understanding of the application of hybrid power generation systems using HOMER for level crossings which can be the basis for developing more reliable and environmentally friendly transportation infrastructure in the future. The average total energy produced by the Hybrid Power System in the research period was 9.38 kWh. Based on the average electrical energy production, the energy produced by solar panels is 92.25% and the energy produced by wind turbines is 7.74%. These results show that the production of electrical energy from solar panels is higher than from wind turbines
