This project was developed to need for a system that generates non conventional energy. Energy crisis is one of the major issues worldwide. This paper proposes maximum utilization of human locomotion energy for power generation using Piezo electric sensors. The basic principle was, any vibration or pressure that generate between surface and footsteps while walking, is converted into electric energy using Piezo electric transducers. A series connection of Piezo electric transducers are mounted on the tile and this tile is placed in the crowded area for the generation of electric energy. This paper explores the power generated by footsteps and used for mobile charging.

Abstract The European electric market is going to be fully liberalized moving the problems, related to the minimization of the electric energy production cost, to the Independent Power Producers. In the present paper, a computational code, developed by the Authors, to discover the management strategy permitting to minimize the total variable cost (in terms of fuel consumption) required by a power generation system to face a specific load demand, is described. Subsequently, the code has been applied to an existing power generation system comparing the fuel consumption in different management strategies. It has also emerged that the code may represent an useful advice in the power generation system upgrading feasibility, calculating the fuel saving obtainable with the addition of new or repowered units.

The possibility of increasing the efficiency of drying coal concentrate unit on the basis of pipe-dryers has been investigated by converting the heat of flue gases outlet into electrical energy and the heat potential of hot water supply system with a heat power generation unit operating on low-boiling working fluids. A method and an algorithm for calculating the thermal mode of the unit under the conditions of specified limitations on temperature pressures in heat exchangers have been developed. On the basis of mathematical modeling of thermal conditions, it has been found that under the conditions of PD-11 pipe-dryers, when the heat power generation unit operates with butane-pentane mixture, 204 kW of electricity can be generated with the condensation cycle, and 1780 kW of heat and 65 kW of electric energy can be generated with the heating cycle.

The integration of renewable energies, specifically solar energy, in electric distribution systems is increasingly common. For an optimal operation, it is very important to forecast the final net demand of the power distribution network, considering the variability of solar energy combined with the variability of the electric energy consumption habits of population. This paper presents the methodology followed to forecast the net demand in a power distribution substation. Two approaches are considered, the net demand direct prediction, and the indirect prediction with the forecasts of PV power generation and load demand. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based models and autoregressive models with exogenous variables (ARX) are used to predict the net demand, directly and indirectly, for the 24 hours of the day-ahead. The methodology is applied to a medium voltage distribution substation and the direct and indirect forecasts are compared.

Abstract The control systems for the objects of industry, power generation, transport, etc. are extremely complicated; functional efficiency of these systems determines to a great extent the safe and non-polluting operation as well as convenience of service and repair of such objects. The authors consider the possibility to improve the efficiency of systems for damping oscillations in transport using a combination of electrical (generators of rotational and linear types) and hydraulic means. Better efficiency of functioning is achieved through automatic control over the operational conditions of such a system in order to make it adaptive to variations in the road profile and ambient temperature; besides, it is possible to produce additional electric energy.

A cost estimate method is presented, which enables to compare inlet air cooling system for power enhancement of combustion turbine with other power generation system. A new energy conversion index is developed which arranges system design parameters in a dimensionless form and also exhibits running cost. It is suggested that the inlet air cooling system is equivalent to simple cycle or pumped storage in view of the dimensionless running cost. Next, a cost diagram relating capital cost to power generation cost is presented also in non-dimensional form, which could provide a measure to examine investment worth for a power producer. Moreover, cooling effectiveness as function of cooled inlet air temperature is investigated using specific thermal energy. It is revealed that cooling beyond dew point requires a larger thermal energy per electric energy produced and thus less economical unless the price of electricity depends on electricity demand.
