Waynergy People – application in an operational environment

A new pavement energy harvest system was developed in Portugal by the Waydip Company in collaboration with the Pavement Mechanics Laboratory of the University of Coimbra. Recently, the system has been optimised and a significant improvement in energy generation has been achieved. Moreover, a 25-module pilot plant has been installed in the entrance to a shopping mall and tested. During a 4-month period it generated more than 10·7 MJ (3·0 kWh). This paper updates the earlier reports on this topic.
