Autonomous energy system Clause Samples

Autonomous energy system. According to the objectives of the OPERA project, the energy autonomous system developed in OPERA is only dedicated to demonstrate the ULP characteristics of OPERA technologies. The development and the optimization of a commercial energy autonomous system is expected to make possible a massive deployment of commercial devices across the road networks. Energy harvesting and energy storage technologies need to be optimized, specific mechanical packaging are required. The development of mature commercial products has to eliminate no-useful energy losses at the interface board level. New opportunities which appear after the project in terms of energy harvesting and storage technologies and/or products can be investigated. The results have to reduce even more cost, size and weight of the energy autonomous system to make possible a low cost and massive deployment across the road network. A commercial product has to be easily installable on any type of support without requiring expensive and bulky civil engineering infrastructure: easy installation on tipping pole, on pre-existing road signs or street fitting , on light dedicated pole , obviously without requiring any connection to energy or communication wired networks. Considering the successful tests of the OPERA project, such a target seems really realistic.
