This study was aimed at converting these huge fruit waste into useable energy using a Single chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (SMFC). Different weights (1kg, 2kg, 4kg, 6kg, 8kg, 10kg, and 12kg) were used in this study for 7weeks with each weight per week. A digital multi-meter (Model: DT 9205A) connected to the SMFC was used to determine the voltage generated by the different weights of the fruit waste. The maximum voltage of 139.5mV and 222.9mV was generated by the 12kg substrate for watermelon and paw-paw respectively. Power densities generated for watermelon and pawpaw were 0.0955mW/cm and 0.2452mW/cm 2 respectively. For watermelon, the value of r(0.976) and paw-paw (0.957) shows that the relationship between voltage and power density is significant. Results from the physicochemical analyses, showed that the highest values for pH, BOD, DO and conductivity was recorded from the 12kg substrate. The medium was mostly acidic for both fruits throughout the study. The DO and BOD values obtained showed that the medium was favorable for microorganisms to proliferate thereby resulting in the high amount of electricity generated. The results from this study have shown that a single chamber MFC is capable of generating electricity from waste tropical fruits. It is therefore recommended that a proper program be initiated to harness this vast resource to augment the epileptic and dearth of electricity supply in our urban and rural areas.","PeriodicalId":116649,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy, Information and Communications","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129723919","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}

We evaluate the performance of proposed network model as the E-UE of interest is moved in the integrated heterogeneous environment of WLAN and LTE cellular wireless networks. We evaluate the number of handoffs, throughput and decision delay by using proposed VHO algorithms with hysteresis and dwell timer approaches.","PeriodicalId":116649,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy, Information and Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116844668","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}

The developed tap is able to measure the waveforms of a voltage and a current, and it can cut off the current more quickly than circuit breakers used in homes.

Most of the India Energy Generation is based on conventional energy sources which focus on coal and oil energy and they are limited in nature.

The energy management system involves in the proper balance with the parallel network which involves both local generation units along the traditional methods of power generation. The entire concept of local generation eliminates frequent conversion of AC to DC between source and load. The power from renewable reserves is utilized for local load requirements. The novel power electronic technology-based converters are designed and used for interfaced the non-conventional energy centers with the gird for effective and dynamic load management.

However, there are many issues related to power quality problems including over-voltage and under-voltage of customers. Especially Blackouts - the total loss of electrical power - serve as a reminder of how dependent the modern world and particularly urban areas have become on electricity and the appliances it powers. In order to overcome these problems, the electric power company have installed a Step Voltage Regulator (SVR) in primary feeders interconnected with distributed generators, and also have established the technical guidelines for the distributed generators to stabilize the customer voltages in distribution systems. However, it is difficult to maintain the customer voltages within allowable limit. Therefore, this paper analyzes the problem of voltage control by SVR in distribution system with large scale PV systems, and presents operating range and voltage control limit of Small Hydropower Generator (SHG) with PF control function. In addition, this paper evaluates the voltage impact in primary feeders depending on voltage control modes of SHG, and then proposes optimal voltage control algorithm. Furthermore, from the simulation results base on the proposed algorithm, it is confirmed that it can contribute to voltage stabilization in distribution system interconnected with large scale PV systems.","PeriodicalId":116649,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy, Information and Communications","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130892247","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}
