Abstract
A hydraulic power plant for generation of electricity includes a hydraulic speed breaker, that includes a speed breaker, a set of springs attached to ends of the speed breaker, wherein the springs are compressed when a vehicle rolls over the speed breaker, and is released when the vehicle moves away. A cylindrical portion includes a piston parallel to the speed breaker and attached thereto, wherein the piston is configured to move downwards when a vehicle rolls over the speed breaker, to cause an increased pressure in the portion below piston and suction in a portion above the piston, and wherein the piston move upwards on release of the set of springs to cause an increased pressure in a portion above piston and suction in a portion below piston. A reservoir is disposed at a ground level and a storage tank is disposed at a predetermined height from the ground level, and connected to the cylindrical portion. The fluid is pumped upwards from the reservoir to the storage tank by way of the cylindrical portion during downward and upward motion of the piston. An electricity generation unit (EGU) is connected to the storage tank and the reservoir, for converting the potential energy of the fluid stored in the storage tank to electricity.
