System of generation of alternative energy using resources of an apartment complex

This article raises the issue of the current state of the electric power sector, and in particular examines the state and prospects of use of nonconventional and renewable sources of energy and their application in non-industrial scale. Based on this information, the authors suggest an option of alternative use of resources of a high-rise apartment complex. The description is given of the developed system of autonomous power supply of lighting systems, with description of the parts, constructional features and principle of operation. In addition, the presented research data and the measurement carried out on the basis of the initial prototype that allow to conclude about the feasibility and relevance of the work done and prospects for further research in this field.
