...12nd October 2014, revised 14th November 2014, accepted 22nd November 2014 Abstract The paper focuses on the contemporary scenario of renewable energy sources in India. Wind, biomass, small hydro and solar constitutes India’s renewable energy sources. India is a large country with an area of 3,287,263 sq. kilometers. Thus, it has access to ample of renewable resources. With prevailing threats of global warming and exhaustion of conventional energy sources, it becomes mandatory to exploit renewable sources and to develop technologies for efficient extraction of power from them. India has shown remarkable growth in its renewable sector over the last decade. In India, the total installed capacity of power generation from all sources is 2,45,401 MW as on March,2014. About 31,702 MW of power is generated from renewable sources which constitutes nearly 13% of the total installed capacity. India has high capacity of power generation from wind. Nearly 67% of power is generated by wind alone from total renewable installed capacity. Comprehensively, it is increasingly essential to develop renewable energy conversion systems since they provide environmental benefits as well as other benefits to humans like energy security, job creation, economic growth and lesser dependency upon the exhaustible energy resources Keywords: Renewable energy, power generation, wind, solar, policies,...

...One Renewable Energy Sources Nishi N S P G student, Dept. of Electrical and electronics Engineering Vidya Academy of Science and Technology Thalakkottukara, Thrissur, Kerala, India nishi.ns@gmail.com Jasna S B Associate Professor, Dept. of Electrical and electronics Engineering Vidya Academy of Science and Technology Thalakkottukara, Thrissur, Kerala, India jasna.s.b@vidyaacademy.ac.in Abstract— This paper proposes an asymmetrical double input converter for low power applications. Double Input Converters (DICs) are special case of Multiple Input Converters where available MICs usually have complex configuration and numerous transformer windings. The proposed converters have advantages of simple architecture, soft-switching realization, and high conversion efficiency compared with available MICs. In this paper, the operating principle of DIC composed of two buck PVSC is analyzed. The open loop and closed loop simulation of the proposed converter is carried out and verified. Multi input converters play a key role in such hybridized systems, where it is required to have more than one power source. A multiple input converter is a circuit that accommodates input of more than one energy sources which are of the pulsating voltage source cells (PVSC),and provides at least one output. Such technologies can find application in residential, aerospace, automotive, portable electronics and any other application where there is the possibility of using more than one source. By diversifying the...

...Do you agree with the view that in the years 1515-1525 Henry VIII wholly surrendered power in government to Cardinal Wolsey? To a certain extent within Source 4 (by J.J. Scarisbrick 1968) supports the idea that possibly Henry VIII actually did surrender power over to Wolsey. The evidence within the source that suggests this possibly for being the truth is ‘a self-indulgent King had wholly surrendered the cares of the state into the Cardinals hands’. To further support this case, it is clear that Wolsey was extremely powerful, he had vast amounts of bishoprics (Archbishop of Canterbury, Tournai, Durham just to name a few) and was the head of things such as the Star Chamber where Wolsey got himself heavily involved with. This is shown when you compared the number of cases Wolsey took on (120) compared to that of Henry VII who dealt with only 12. Also Wolsey had control of all of the state finances and could make large changes to things such as the taxation system he was able to introduce a new form of tax known as the ‘Subsidy’ which was more popular since it meant the poor payed far less tax than previously than with the old 15’s and 10’s taxation method. This new taxation method allowed Wolsey to pay for king’s foreign affairs. As well as this ‘subsidy’, since Wolsey had such significant power he was able to also raise considerable amounts of capital through other means, such as through ‘benevolences’ and enforced loans from the nobility, which raised £200,000 in 1522.

...which power source will electricity move better through? C, D, 9V battery Hypothesis: If I attach a string of lights to all the batteries, the electricity will move better through the ‘D’ battery because it is bigger. Experiment: Materials Scissors Electric Tape C, D, 9V Batteries A Set of Christmas Lights Procedures 1. Take a set of Christmas lights and cut 4 lights leaving some wires at both ends to connect the battery power sources. 2. Tape one end of the lights to the negative end of the battery. 3. Connect the other end of the wire to the positive end of each battery. 4. This is done to see which battery allows electricity to move better through it. 5. Repeat steps for trials. Results The speed results from each trial and battery type when the power source was connected. Speed Trail 1 Trail 2 Trail 3 Average Speed C 1.7 2.9 2.4 2.33 D 2.5 1.3 2.8 2.2 9V 0.1 0.1 0.5 0.23 The results of how bright the lights shined when the power sources was connected. Brightness Chart Trail 1 Trail 2 Trail 3 Average Brightness C 1 1 1 1 D 2 1 1 1.333 Conclusion 9V 5 5 4 4.667 Based off my experiment, I found out that the 9V battery passes electricity faster than the D battery, and the C battery has the slowest speed. I also learned when the battery power source was connected to the 9V battery it shined the brightest. The D shined a little brighter than the C. My hypothesis was incorrect. The D battery does not allow electricity to move faster or better within the power source...

...about primarily by Henry’s desire for a male heir? Use sources 4, 5 & 6 and your own knowledge to explain your answer. The Break with Rome was brought about by a number of reasons, namely Henry’s desire for a male heir and thus the need to obtain a divorce, the role of the Anne Boleyn faction and their reformist influence and Henry’s desire for greater power and revenue. Source 4 disagrees with the question because it argues that the divorce, which did not necessarily have to go through Rome, and the reformist influence had an impact. Source 5 partly agrees with source 4 that the reformist faction did influence Henry, but also argues that Henry had no clear policy and ultimately Anne’s pregnancy pushed proceedings along, implying that a desire for a male heir underlay Henry’s motives, thus agreeing with the question. Source 6 disagrees with the question and the other two sources arguing that the Break with Rome was caused by Henry’s desire for more authority and power. Ultimately we shall see that all these factors contributed to the Break with Rome, indicating that it was not solely caused by Henry’s desire for a male heir, though it can be argued that it was the primary cause. There is evidence that the Break with Rome was caused by Henry’s desire for a male heir. As source 4 stated, “Henry VIII wanted a divorce” because his wife Catherine of Aragon had reached the menopause. This factor is also shown in source 5 which states that “Anne’s pregnancy was a pressing factor...

...VIII wholly surrendered power in government to Cardinal Wolsey. To analyse the extent of the truth of this statement we must consider the Sources; a history book from J.J Scarasbrick reviewing the relationship of the King and Wolsey another history book by John Lotherington also reviewing Wolsey and the King’s relationship and a letter written by Henry VIII himself which perfectly demonstrates their relationship. Source 4 agrees with the statement stating that the king ‘had wholly surrendered the cases of state to the Cardinal’s hand’ directly agreeing with the statement and showing that Henry gave all power to Wolsey so as ‘to cast off the cares’ this is supported by Source 6 where Henry dismissively tells Wolsey to ‘keep a careful watch on… others of whom you are suspicious’ this clearly illustrates that Henry VIII would offload matters of state into Wolsey’s hands and allow him to respond as he wished showing a clear passing of the reins of power. However when analysing these sources it is important to consider the nature origin and purpose of the source. Source 4 is quoting a servant of Wolsey George Cavendish who was not privy to Wolsey’s political power or action but was merely a personal companion and thus would wish to create a grand image for his employer and exaggerate his strength this significantly limits the reliability of the source. Yet Source 6 is directly from Henry VIII and thus flawlessly demonstrates the king’s opinion regarding the power of Wolsey and is the...

...Power Source Implications for Leader/Follower Relationse National American University According to Webster’s Dictionary, power can be defined as the ability to act or produce an effect. What does power have to do with leadership? Well the leader is given power of the followers. The effect that the leader is trying to produce will be specific organizational goals. Those goals can be long-term or short-term. When we refer to the power source, we are referring to the method by which the leader will use when achieving these goals. Power sources deal primarily with how the leader attempts to work with the followers. Some leaders may build a relationship that may go beyond the organization in which the leader is able to gain the followers trust while some keep it strictly personal. Relationships between leader and follower must have their limits, which is why many organizations are strict on leaders fraternizing with the followers. Executives of some of the top companies use power sources in order to climb to the top, so it is no secret that these do help organizations achieve goals. Expert Power Expert Power is the source in which the leader is able to gain the trust of the followers due to the leader’s knowledge and expertise in a particular are. When someone knows they can approach their leader with questions and the leader has the answer, that person is more likely to be confident in that information as well as themselves and then leading to accomplished goals.

...Topic 5: Power in India Introduction For any country to achieve sustained economic growth, the most important is the growth of infrastructure sector and hence the development of power sector. Energy in general and electrical energy in particular is the basic need for any kind of socio-economic developmental activities. There is direct causal relationship between energy consumption and G.D.P. growth in India as shown in the figure - 1. Figure [ 1 ] Per Capita Electricity consumption vs. GDP (Source: Sajal Ghosh, 2000. Electricity consumption and economic growth in India.) Various studies have shown that reducing electricity consumption lowers the income also. Therefore, for a country to become superpower, first and the most important thing is to become energy sufficient like USA and other developed countries. Electricity: Demand and Supply in India India has achieved an increment of 5.6% in energy availability and 6% in peak demand met as per FY 2010-11 data but at the same time our country faced an energy deficit of 8.5% and a peak deficit of 9.8% in the same year. The expected values of these deficits are 10% and 13% respectively in FY 2011-12. Figure 2 Energy Requirement vs. Availability (Source: CEA Load Balance Report 2011-12) Figure [ 3 ] Peak Demand vs. Met Demand (Source: CEA Load Balance Report 2011-12) India is among the countries having very low average per capita consumption of electricity. Though it has grown steadily at 1.3% CAGR yearly...

...Labeled as the Great War, World War I was the first War in which all of the major Powers of Europe took part in. This conflict led to the destruction of two of Europe's oldest Empires, namely Russia and Austria-Hungary and brought about terrible hardships to countries which in turn led to the rise of fascism and socialism. This historic event in human history started on the 28th of July, 1914, when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia as a result of the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austria-Hungarian throne. Unlike the Great Powers, specifically France, Russia and Germany who joined World War I as a result of the alliances they had in place, what lured Bulgaria and Italy to take up arms was the promise of new territories if victorious. Unfortunately this greed would lead to both nations suffering as a result of their participation in War. Italy, although victorious in the end, had to endure economic hardships and Bulgaria ended up with even less territory compared to when they joined the War. Bulgaria officially entered World War I on the 14th of October, 1915 by declaring war on Serbia, thereby joining the fight on the Central Power's side. Although Bulgaria and Serbia - once members of the Balkan League, fought side by side during the first Balkan War, which resulted in the end of Ottoman Rule in Europe, Bulgarians were dissatisfied about how the former Ottoman Territories, the most coveted one being Macedonia, were divided. This led to a...
