Energy is being utilized at an increasing rate for the sustenance and wellbeing of mankind. Energy in form of electricity is required everywhere - in domestic needs, industries, agriculture sectors. The increasing demand of electricity requires energy conservation and energy management. Conventional energy resource in form of electricity is cost effective. However this may not be suitable for some applications like portable instruments or the equipments used at remote areas. Scientists and engineers are looking for alternate energy sources and succeeded in some areas like solar energy, biogas, windmill etc. They may not be cost effective and there are several disadvantages in these sources. Piezo-electric generator (PEG) is one type of non-conventional energy source that can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. Though their energy conversion is very low, but they may be used in some typical applications of portable and low power consuming devices. In this paper some investigation has been made how energy can be extracted from piezo-electric generators and efficiency can be improved.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122671768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a consequence of continually load variation, the frequency of the power system changes over time. To stabilize the system frequency oscillations, the active power can be controlled via superconducting magnetic energy storage device (SMES). The significant improvement of optimal transient performance is observed with the addition of SMES unit fitted in both areas. Analysis reveals that SMES unit fitted in either of the areas is as effective as SMES units fitted in both the areas and improves the dynamic performances to a considerable extent following a load disturbance in either of the areas. Gains of the integral controller in LFC loop and parameters of SMES are optimized with the help of OBBO technique. The performance of the proposed OBBO based controller is better as compared with BBO, CRPSO and RGO controller in the presence of SMES. The simulation results indicate the superiority of the proposed OBBO based controller with SMES in terms of system oscillations, settling time and frequency deviation.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122781888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Refereeing to the availability at the fields these two kinds of seed fuels can be blended together as fuel instead of diesel with no any major modification in an engine. Hence main aim of this research was to blend Jatropha and Karanja biodiesel and testing these fuels for a diesel engine. Two kinds of biodiesel Jatropha and Karanja are blended in different proportions. Basically percentage of Karanja in Jatropha fuel was varied.

In this paper, we propose a technique to efficiently store solar-energy by introducing Enhanced-Super-Capacitors (ESCs). A new technology, the super capacitor, has emerged with the potential to enable major advancement in energy storage. Super capacitors are governed by the same fundamental equations as conventional capacitors, but utilize higher surface area electrodes and thinner dielectrics to achieve greater capacitances. This allows for energy densities greater than those of conventional capacitors and power densities greater than those of batteries. As a result, super capacitors may become an attractive power solution for an increasing number of applications. The proposed model of the super capacitor would help in reducing the cost of Solar cells and also increasing their efficiency, thus would be a step ahead in meeting the energy demands of the ever-increasing population both in an effective and sustainable manner.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114579641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional CI engines due to their heterogeneous combustion emit large amount of particulate matter and the major concern regarding diesel engine is that high NOx emissions. However this problem can be resolved by using an advanced combustion technology named as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI). HCCI has potential to substantially reduce particulates and NOx simultaneously and deliver efficiencies comparable to conventional CI combustion. Dual fuel approach is a well-established technique to make use of different types of fuels in diesel engines and the main advantage of such engines is their lower smoke, HC emissions. In the present work, experimental investigations were carried out on a single cylinder four stroke compression ignition (CI) engine fuelled with diesel in single fuel mode and CNG and HOME injection in a modified dual fuel mode AND using HCCI operation mode. Gaseous fuel like CNG was injected into the intake manifold using a suitable injector and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) facilities. From the results obtained, it is observed that HCCI engines yielded better results than dual fuel engines in conventional mode. However, emissions such as NOx and smoke were lower whereas emissions like HC and CO was increased. The NOx and smoke emissions were decreased to about 98% and 90 - 94% respectively.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117163036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
