The work deals with the design and implementation of a kit for the creation of a supply point for electricity generated from renewable sources. A mobile kit for powering variable traffic signs is designed, which uses photovoltaic panels and stores energy in a lead-acid battery. A methanol fuel cell is used for backup power. The device is adapted to the possibilities use in road transport and meets the requirements of the relevant authorities. To verify the stability of the structure, static calculations were performed, which proved the resistance of the equipment to wind stress.

The primary aim of this study was to assess and compare EU countries in terms of the use of renewable energy sources in road transport. The following research tasks were undertaken to realize this aim: (1) a review of the literature concerning the negative externalities in road transport, the concept of sustainable development, and legal regulations referring to the utilization of renewable energy sources; (2) presentation of changes in energy consumption (both traditional and renewable) in road transport in EU countries in the years 2008–2019; and (3) identification of leaders among the EU countries in terms of consumption of renewable energy sources in road transport. The aim and tasks were realized using the literature review and TOPSIS method as well as descriptive, tabular, and graphic methods. The analysis was conducted for 28 EU countries according to the status for 2019. The period of 2008–2019 was investigated. Sources of materials included literature on the subject and Eurostat data. Although renewable energy sources accounted for as little as 6% of total energy consumption in road transport in EU countries in 2019, this is a significant topical issue. It results from the direction in which changes need to be implemented in terms of energy generation in this area of human activity. It turned out that blended biodiesel and blended biogasoline were the most commonly used fuels originating from renewable sources. The application of the TOPSIS method resulted in the identification of five groups of EU member countries, which differed in terms of the degree of utilization of renewable energy sources in road transport. Luxemburg, Sweden, and Austria were leaders in this respect. In turn, Malta, Estonia, and Croatia were characterized by very low consumption of renewable energy. The greatest progress in the utilization of renewable energy sources in road transport was recorded in Sweden, Finland, and Bulgaria (changes in the relative closeness to the ideal solution from 0.15 to 0.27), while the greatest reduction in relation to other countries was observed in Austria, Germany, and Lithuania (changes from −0.35 to −0.22).

Raksta mērķis ir apzināt atjaunojamo energoresursu tiesisko regulējumu, tā atbalsta shēmas un problemātiku. Raksta autore skaidro, vai šo tiesību aizsardzības līmenis ir pietiekams, vai ir pieņemtas nepieciešamās materiālo tiesību normas, kā arī vai ir pietiekoši tiesiskie līdzekļi, kas nodrošina šo tiesību aizsardzības ievērošanu, kā arī nākamos soļus energoresursu liberalizācijas posmos. Use of renewable energy increases independence from imported energy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, as well as increases security of energy supply. However, energy industry concedes that power becomes more vulnerable because of historical paradigms; independent power base is replaced with production from renewable energy sources. This is due to subsidies in the investment priority being cost-effective renewable resources projects. Thus, it is necessary to develop a solution defining how volatile and unpredictable renewable energy sources integrated into the European electricity market can be, while ensuring safe and uninterrupted power supply.

Power supply systems for small businesses based on renewable energy sources are most often based on converting wind energy, solar energy and water energy. Calculating its effectiveness is a time-consuming task, requiring the processing of a large amount of data specific for the geographical location of power generating units. In the article the technique of computer modeling of work of a park of wind power plants (WPP) with the purpose of definition of an optimum parity of their parameters is considered.

This paper describes the design of mobile power sets for variable traffic signs for the use of energy storage in lead-acid battery. The supply point is intended primarily for use in powering traffic lights and mobile variable traffic signs for line traffic control. A test sample of the system was assembled, on which a series of measurements were performed to verify its functionality.
