Large-scale productions are carried out to produce various food types such as chutney, pickles, jelly, juice, smoothie and ice-cream in industrial scale. As a result mango pit which is one form of biomass generated basically as an industrial waste. Therefore mango pit can be utilized to generate energy by applying an appropriate technology of energy generation.

Wireless electricity ensure that the cell phones, laptops, iPods, and other power electrical devices get changed on their own, with no need of plugging them that can prevent the sockets with all sorts of wires. Wireless power transfer is when the magnetic field is transferred over short distance. The magnetic field is created using inductive coupling between coils of wire or electric fields using capacitive coupling between electrodes. The most common form of wireless power transmission is carried out using direct induction followed by resonant magnetic induction. The carrying fluxes that induce in the inductor can be captured by another inductive coil that can produce an induced flux between the receiver coils that coupled to the primary coil. Since this technique using magnetic field to transfer the electrical energy, the flux that produces in the primary coil must be in high density with high frequency. Thus, the tesla coil is used as a transmitter to produces high voltage, high frequency and low alternating current in order to produce high density flux. In this work, a tesla coil is a main part of transmitter component in wireless electricity apparatus and need to develop with a view to demonstrate how magnetic induction is coupled to perform a wireless power transfer. In addition, the construction of winding coils of the tesla coil would be the great effects in order to provide electricity to supply a load without wires in distances. The advantages of the wireless electricity system would be completely eliminating existing wires for electrical appliances between power sources. With wireless electricity, the electrical system will be more secure as it will prevent user from electrocution of current and the power failure due to short circuit and fault or power loss on cable would never exist.","PeriodicalId":149415,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Sustainable Energy Engineering and Application (ICSEEA)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122251825","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 numerical simulation was performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach to calculate the performance characteristic of the runner blade designs. Commercial software ANSYS CFX was used as CFD solver. From the operating simulation results in conditions, no-swirl flow assumption at runner exit achieved the greater power than the swirl flow assumption at runner exit. The maximum runner efficiency of swirl flow assumption at runner exit is higher than no-swirl flow assumption. However, it would be more beneficial for using the design condition that achieve the greater power in operating conditions.

Recovering and utilizing such waste heat improves the energy efficiency. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential and feasibility of a cogeneration driven by the waste heat of the engine power plant in Thai POMs. A case study approach was conducted, and secondary data of the mill were collected and used as baselines for the calculation. The cogeneration model and techno-economic feasibility were presented. It shows that the thermal efficiency of the cogeneration has increased from 37.34% to 75.60% compared with the conventional approach. Steam and hot water production from the waste heat of 1 MW engine are 659 kg/hour and 8.54 m3/hour respectively. Thus, saving the boiler biomass-fuelled of the mill about 2,748 tons a year with a simple payback is 1.3 years.

The increasing number of private PV arrays calls out for high energy storage capacities in order not to overload the grid. Despite being the current storage technology of choice, chemical batteries are still too expensive and have certain disadvantages compared to FESS, such as capacity fade over time and currently still difficult recycling. Within a research project at the Graz University of Technology a feasibility study for a low-cost, low-loss FESS was conducted. Energetic dimensioning was performed using actual PV power and electric load data recorded at a building in Austria with 6 apartment units. A low-cost flywheel system with an energy content of 5.0 kWh and 2.2 kW maximum rated power using a steel rotor and economic off-the shelf components was designed and investigated. Self-discharge of the proposed FESS design was significantly reduced using a cast silicone bearing seat, which allows supercritical rotor operation. Axial bearing loads were compensated by nearly 100% via repelling permanent magnets allowing drastic down-sizing of the bearings and further reduction of torque loss. The concept was validated by a small-scale test setup, which showed promising results. Finally, an improved design option is compared to the initially proposed FESS in terms of costs and self-discharge.","PeriodicalId":149415,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Sustainable Energy Engineering and Application (ICSEEA)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126279385","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}
