National and local government authorities have implemented monitoring systems to mitigate landslide disasters. However, most of these systems use complex devices that are high-cost and require a constant power source to transmit data to the servers. This research designed and deployed an IoT-based landslide early warning system (EWS). The architecture is divided into three layers― Data collection, Data transmission and Data display and analysis. For the tier of data collection, an off-the-grid solar energy-powered integrated platform with various portable and low-cost sensors was built; For the tier of data transmission, mobile routers were used to support the sensor platform; In terms of data display and analysis, research provided an open architecture to analysis data and proposed a method for predicting landslides with multiple indicators. The framework is tested, extended and tuned by the model test. Results presented accurate predictions, all warning times are before the occurrence of the landslide. Then the proposed EWS was put into an embankment slope in Fukuoka, Japan by considering geological conditions and sensor suitability. This research qualitatively guarantees the accuracy of landslide predictions while operating in a low-cost, sustainable manner. It presents how IoT-based EWS can generate a positive impact on disaster mitigation work.","PeriodicalId":350012,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116058956","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}

Therefore, current research aims to conduct RDE testing using a Euro IV-compliant diesel truck on pre-designed Malaysian-based test routes. Vehicle specific power (VSP) approach was applied to examine the relationship between RDE and truck's activities. The emission factors (EFs) were divided into 22 different operating mode bins, which were classified according to the calculated VSP and instantaneous vehicle speed. Emission factors of CO, CO2, HC and particulate matter (specifically PM2.5) which quantified under time-specific EFs and distance-based EFs were the main focus in current study. Findings showed that CO2 and PM2.5 were found to react linearly with the VSP and instantaneous vehicle speed, while CO and HC emissions did not exhibit any consistent pattern. Further analysis under specific driving modes indicated that the overall EFs of CO2 and PM2.5 were found to be higher in cruising mode, while the overall EFs of CO and HC were found to be higher in acceleration mode. These findings highlighted the needs of RDE testing in providing accurate quantification of EFs under real-driving condition.","PeriodicalId":350012,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116734202","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}

Therefore, a process is needed to replace or reduce the incineration of sewage sludge in Tokyo. This study proposes how to mitigate sludge handling, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and produce sustainable energy based on initial fieldwork. Samples were collected to measure sewage sludge's potential for biodiesel production from urban and suburban wastewater treatment plants in Tokyo. Results showed the average 30 wt. % dry basis organics in sludge with high concentrations of free fatty acids and triglycerides in urban sludge and high ester content in suburban sludge and 97 % - 99% biodiesel yield was achieved through acid/base transesterification. Scale-up of the organics extraction and biodiesel production from sewage sludge can reduce fossil fuel dependency, and greenhouse gas emissions (approximately 19% from the incineration process) and contribute to achieving carbon neutrality in wastewater treatment.","PeriodicalId":350012,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121281464","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}

To strengthen the implementation sustainable development goal by reducing the use of fossil fuel, the utilization of solar energy has great potential, though the efficiency of solar panels or solar energy technology is still relatively low, especially in Indonesia. Located in tropical region, the solar panel module receives solar irradiation that varies due to changes in weather or local environmental conditions, partial shading will occur, making the solar panels partially covered by shadows. This situation will result in a decrease in the output power of solar panels To overcome this issue, a battery is used to store the generated energy. To maximize the potential, the battery needs to be charged optimally which need a control algorithm to provide energy gathered from the solar panel, most of the time. Therefore, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is necessary to be associated with an algorithm to optimally control the performance of the solar energy harvesting scheme. In this study, both Mamdani and Sugeno Fuzzy Logic Algorithm are used in the MPPT with a buck converter at a solar panel with a battery. Buck converter is chosen to give safety charging margin to the battery since the converter's output voltage is lower than the input voltage. As for the fuzzy logic algorithm, Mamdani's Fuzzy Logic has the advantage of producing more accurate decision results than Sugeno's type. While, Sugeno's Fuzzy Logic has the advantage of using simple mathematical calculations in its design. In addition, a buck converter was also used to match the voltage generated by the solar panel to match the battery specifications. The system design and testing are carried out using Matlab R2018b Simulink. From the simulation, the Mamdani Fuzzy Logic-based MPPT has the same maximum power point tracking computation time as Sugeno's Fuzzy Logic. In the partial shading test conditions, MPPT based on Fuzzy Logic has a higher efficiency value of 94.50% when compared to MPPT without control which is only 89.56%. Under various conditions of irradiation and temperature, MPPT based on Fuzzy Logic has a higher efficiency value of 94.88% than MPPT without control which is only efficiency of 91.53%.","PeriodicalId":350012,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"50 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133797494","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}

This paper proposes WTTF applications for sound absorption. In this study, three different types of WTTF samples that are characterized by rubber remains were tested. Rubber particles for acoustics applications are considered impurities due to the negative effect on sound absorption. The first samples used for tests had up to 10% remains (WTTF10), the second had up to 54% remains (WTTF54) and the third had up to 70% remains of total mass. Sound absorption tests were performed according to the ISO 10534–2 standard. The average sound absorption coefficient a of WTTF10 (αavg. in the frequency range 160–5000 Hz) was up to 0.64. With increasing thickness of the sample, the average sound absorption coefficient increases. WTTF54 and WTTF70 showed lower results in smaller thicknesses; however, at 60 mm thickness all samples ranged from 0.61 to 0.64.

The objective of this paper is to review and propose the opportunities of the implementation of CCU in Thailand's industries. The results indicate that four main industries have high opportunity in CO2 utilization. For instance, in the chemical industry, the captured CO2 can be utilized to produce olefin, polymer, and methanol, used as raw materials producing, i.e., fiber, plastic, elastomers, wood enamel, paints, drugs, etc. For the cement industry, the captured CO2 can be transformed into calcium or magnesium carbonates, which are the raw material used to produce the construction materials.

Despite this, one of the major impediments to the rapid adoption of EVs is the lack of efficient charging infrastructure on par with contemporary ICE engine refueling stations. Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are the future of environmentally friendly transportation. Due to the increase in PEVs, however, there are drawbacks associated with cost and size, as well as charging cables. To address these challenges, an inductive resonance coupling-based wireless charging system has been proposed in this work. This article focuses on analyzing the electromagnetically coupled resonant wireless technique used for the charging of EVs. In this article, the efficiency of a resonant wireless charging system for EVs is studied by modeling, simulating and examining parameters such as distance, load, coil shape, and inter-turn distance influence the charging process. Charging efficiency can be significantly improved by choosing the right coil dimensions, inter-turn distance, and distance between coils. It is concluded that the efficiency of wireless power transfer increases with a decrease in distance and the same can be increased by increasing the size of the coil and there is also a limitation for the size of the coil after certain turns as the efficiency saturates. In this work, static charging mode is incorporated to eliminate the shock hazard due to wires and the ability to be installed in convenient locations such as home garages or parking lots. It also eliminates the need to constantly plug the charger into the vehicle, as once the vehicle is parked in the parking lot, the charging will automatically begin based on the state of the batteries. Thus, the wireless charging of EVs will promote the quick adoption of EVs and a pollution-free environment.","PeriodicalId":350012,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130050135","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}
