Development of Management System for Generated Power Using Cloud Services: Application to Aero-Bike Equipped with Dynamo

This paper presents a power management system, using cloud services, for the power generated by an aero-bike fitted with a dynamo. The system requirements necessary for stable operation and use are summarized. The system incorporates elements to charge rechargeable batteries efficiently and also to maintain the user´s motivation by providing some enjoyment and pleasure while using the system. The new system elements, which comprise a power sensing module, charging equipment and an entertainment system working in cooperation with Street View have been designed and their functions were confirmed prior to system integration. A system has been built using the developed equipment, and is now being operated by the group promoting ECO activities on the campus.
