BACKGROUND

Energy conservation is an important social awareness in today's world. Energy conservation refers to a series of actions that reduce energy consumption and increase energy utilization as much as possible. Street lights that are provided with electricity by using solar and wind power are currently available; however, such energy sources are unstable. At the time of continuous rainy weather and windless weather, street lights cannot be powered. In the process of urbanization, people need more electricity to develop industries, decorate cities and achieve home electrification. All of these have a constant new demand for electricity. On the other hand, a large amount of carbon dioxide will be released by using coal to generate electricity, which has a direct impact on the atmospheric environment. Therefore, how to use natural energy, such as wind, solar, potential energy, etc. to alleviate electricity demand and protect the environment has become our focus.
