Abstract

------07/08/2568------(OCR) OCR 10KL Compressed air energy storage system for electricity generation from exercise equipment. This system utilizes energy from exercise equipment to drive an air compressor. The compressed air collected daily from multiple exercise machines in the same area is then stored in a compressed air storage tank. Electricity generation occurs by passing the stored compressed air through a control unit of pneumatic valves, designed to control operating pressure, compressed air flow rate, and system steps. This compressed air drives an air motor, providing mechanical energy to power a generator. Both DC and AC electricity can be generated via the control unit. ------------ OCR 07AP Exercise is a form of energy generation. However, we typically don't utilize this energy efficiently due to its inconsistent nature. Currently, most energy storage systems use batteries, but these have limitations such as short charging times, complex electrical systems for maintenance and disposal, and toxic waste after battery degradation. Compressed air storage systems are an attractive alternative because... While clean energy requires significant space for air storage systems, designing an energy conservation system that utilizes compressed air generated from exercise to generate electricity is crucial. This system drives an air compressor powered by the exercise equipment, then stores the compressed air collected daily from multiple machines in the same area in a storage tank. Electricity generation involves passing the stored compressed air through a pneumatic valve control system designed to regulate pressure, air flow, and timing. This system then drives a pneumatic motor to power a generator. The generated electricity can be either DC or AC, controlled by an electrical control unit, and can be used for various applications such as lighting in parks or other locations. This compressed air storage system is clean, environmentally friendly, and significantly contributes to energy conservation in the present day.
