...environment as they increase the consumption of fossil fuels and other non-renewable resources and emits greenhouse gases that cause global warming through the production and consumption of energy in manufacturing, electrical and electronic engineering is offering ways to replace the conventional means of producing energy; and it is trying to save our planet through inventions like low carbon solutions and electric vehicles. Global warming will cause rise in sea levels, reduction of fresh water and might put endangered species at danger as it is affecting the habitats of animals around the world and the ecology of our planet. Most importantly, it is inevitable for three reasons. Firstly, the effect of greenhouse effects is serious and it is increasing. Global warming and climate changes are inevitable unless all factories are shut down immediately which will put billions of people unemployed and destroy our energy systems and society; and the greenhouse effects and the level of pollution are increasing and will always be increasing as our population is growing rapidly and soon it will exceed the carrying capacity of our earth. Secondly, government leaders and all people won’t and can’t take this problem seriously as they have other things to worry about, such as employments, economic issues and conflicts between nations; and most importantly, shutting down polluting means of manufacturing and producing energy will cause economic problems and problems in employment that the government...

...---------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------Energy is the primary need for survival of all organisms in the universe. Everything what happens in the surrounding is the expression of flow of energy in one of the forms. But in this fast moving world, population is increasing day by day and the conventional energy sources are lessening. The extensive usage of energy has resulted in an energy crisis over the few years. Therefore to overcome this problem we need to implement the techniques of optimal utilization of conventional sources for conservation of energy. My paper includes how to utilize the energy which is wasted when the vehicles passes over a speed breaker. Lots of energy is generated when vehicle passes over it. We can tap the energy generated and produce power by using the speed breaker as power generating unit. The kinetic energy of the moving vehicles can be converted into mechanical energy of the shaft through rack and pinion mechanism. Then, this mechanical energy will be converted to electrical energy using generator which will be saved with the use of a battery. The energy we save during the day light can be used in the night time for lighting street lights. Therefore, by using this arrangement we can save lot of energy which can be used for the fulfillment of future demands Keywords - Electromotive force, Generator, Non-conventional energy, Speed breaker....

Some researchers have indicated that the Non-OPEC states is as a result of having less producing wells, high costs of new projects, older wells and in most cases the increase in the home demand of oil which may cut the oil for exportation (Nakhle, 2013). Increases in the prices resulted in the difficulty of oil project and making it lucrative, resulting in the increase of the production of unconventional oil. Though at a time, there’s declination in the Non-OPEC oil production as the investing in new production of oil becomes tougher as a result of tightening, volatility of oil price, resource nationalism and credit markets (Brendow, K;, 2003). Now the unconventional oil production by Non-OPEC states is coming up as originally projected as few of the producers are been expected to offset the declination. According to the U.S Energy Department’s...

...Environment and Development Department of Policy Studies, The Energy and Resource Institute (New Delhi) Submitted on 9th December 2012 Table of Contents Executive Summary 1 Literature Review 4 Scope 6 Conclusion 10 Works Cited 11 Executive Summary The gradual shift of the US gas sector- from one of deficit to one of surplus has gathered appreciative appraisals from the rest of the world and initiated talks about the prospect of harnessing shale gas in other countries, as US reached the lowest CO2 emission level in the last 20 years due to shift to natural gas. It has been referred to as “the biggest energy innovation of the decade”, in light of the growing need for suitable alternatives to conventional oil and gas with increasing pressure on energy over time. 90% of global shale gas is currently produced by the US. India meets two-thirds of its petroleum requirements by importing of fuels that include coal, and this figure is expected to rise in the future in spite of India being a coal-rich country. Even with introduction of more efficient technologies and cases of higher CO2 emission reduction, our country’s import dependence on petrol, oil and gas will significantly rise in the future, raising the pressure on the resources. This concern for energy security calls for further research in technological solutions for greater efficiency and control. With that backdrop, India’s Integrated Energy Policy (IEP) in its policy proposal has stressed heavily on the...

...The Importance of Renewable Energy Tammy Nilsen HUM/111 12/01/2013 Renae Hellman Renewable energies are clean energies that do not pollute the air and does not contribute to the alarming increase of the greenhouse effects. The huge disadvantage to all these energies is that the producing of large amounts of electricity represents a difficulty comparing to the easiness of the energy producing by the fossil fuels. The biggest disadvantage to all renewable energy sources is that conventional utilities are not fully capable of incorporating the new technologies to make energy. There is no better alternative at the present time to renewable energies. Renewable energy is very essential because it is natural and it is considered infinite. It also creates thousands of job opportunities as it requires manpower and workmanship. Its production cost is also considered to be very low. One day all the non-renewable energy will run out and the renewable energy will be all we have left. Renewable energy is clean and leaves no pollution in the air. Using our natural resources like sunlight and wind helps to reduce the use of conventional energy which in return saves us money. Solar power is dependent on availability of sunlight. It is cheaper to generate energy naturally than it is conventionally. If we use renewable energies like wind and sunlight in place of non renewable energies like oil, we can use our natural resources without the worry of running...

Of Electrical Engg., JNU, Jaipur; Final Year, Electrical Engineering, JNU Jaipur; Final Year, Electrical Engineering, JNU, Jaipur ABSTRACT The present energy needs of the world are supplied by the drastic use of non-renewable sources of energy, which are mainly the fossil fuels or the nuclear fuels, which are no doubt very good, but will not last for ever, they will end very soon. By fossil fuels I am throwing light on coal, petroleum, natural gas, etc. which on combustion emits harmful gases such as carbon di oxide, carbon mono oxide which are harmful to the environment. Though the Renewable resources of energy which are the Solar Energy i.e. the energy from sun, Wind Energy, as the name suggests the energy from wind or the fast moving air, the Geothermal Energy i.e. the energy from the earth, energy generated from water known as hydro energy, biogas and many more. Which are no doubt very good energy sources and the qualities like everlasting and clean that is negligible pollution makes them the best in the lot. The present generation of energy is more from the non renewable resources which is bad for the nature and for the future also, thus we need to manage the use and organize the usage of both the resources so that they can be saved for the...

...Discuss any economic resource which is scarce in UAE or a well-known country. Then analyze the pros and cons of the government procedures which have been carried out toward this problem. In your opinion, what are the most effective suggestions to solve this scarcity problem? INTRODUCTION: Economic resources are the land, labor, capital and entrepreneurial ability that are combined to produce outputs in order to meet the ever-changing needs and wants of individuals and society as the whole. They earn, rent, wages, interest, and profit, respectively as their resource payments. Good and services that are scarce are economic goods. Scarcity is the basic economic problem that is unlimited human needs and wants, in a world of limited resources. UAE is oil rich country which is in a serious danger of losing its water resource in the coming 50 years. Abu Dhabi is one of the richest emirates swallow around 550 liters of water per day by per person which is comparatively quite more as compare to other countries in the world.UAE government incurs lot of money on the energy cost as desalination plants are set up in order to provide fresh water. Desalination plants costs $18 million a day, apart from this they also have huge environmental impact. The arid climate of the country plays a significant role in the water resources availability. Rainfall, which is a main source of recharge for different water resources, such as surface water and groundwater, is scanty and extremely irregular...

...opportunities that are related to the exploitation of gas from these resources. Policymakers in many countries with shale gas resources are seeking to replicate the success of shale gas in the US. This short write-up provides: (a) Summary of the global shale gas resources (b) Estimated economics of shale gas development Some useful rules of thumb are provided that can be used to quickly assess the estimated profitability of shale gas development. Natural gas is produced from different types of gas accumulations. These accumulations are classified into conventional and unconventional gas (UG) resources. The conventional gas can be either associated gas (gas produced with oil), gas cap gas (a gas column in direct communication with oil column below) or non-associated gas (gas reservoir by itself). The unconventional gas is non-associated gas and it comes from hydrocarbon bearing formations that are classified as Tight Gas, Coal Bed Methane (CBM), Shale Gas and Gas Hydrates. Gas has been produced from tight gas and CBM for more than three decades. Production from shale gas started about a decade ago. In 2011, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) commissioned an external consultant to assess the global potential of shale gas resources. The report assessed 48 shale gas basins in 32 countries, containing almost 70 shale gas formations. According to this report the global technically recoverable shale resources are estimated at 6,622 trillion cubic feet.1 The report claims...

...MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING Abstract - Energy crisis is the most important issue in today's world. Conventional energy resources are not only limited but also the prime culprit for environmental pollution. Renewable energy resources are getting priorities in the whole world to lessen the dependency on conventional resources. Solar energy is rapidly gaining the focus as an important means of expanding renewable energy uses. Solar cells those convert sun's energy into electrical energy are costly and inefficient. Different mechanisms are applied to increase the efficiency of the solar cell to reduce the cost. Solar tracking system is the most appropriate technology to enhance the efficiency of the solar cells by tracking the sun. A microcontroller based design methodology of an automatic solar tracker is presented in this paper. Light dependent resistors are used as the sensors of the solar tracker. The designed tracker has precise control mechanism which will provide three ways of controlling system. A small prototype of solar tracking system is also constructed to implement the design methodology presented here. Index Terms:- MPPT I.

...Energy Resource Plan SCI. 275 February 2011 Energy Resource Plan Energy conservation, the process of lessening or stopping the amount of usage one previously indulged in to ensure future use. People consume non-renewable energy at a fast pace. A tremendous amount is wasted unnecessarily. Wasting energy is an issue of serious concern to humans and the environment. Both are affected by the excessive energy use and have a dependency on energy resources. Some cultures use a bare minimum of energy to function. The Amish culture does not allow any use of electricity in accordance to their spiritual beliefs. The practices of the Amish are considered too extreme for normal society and their habits. However, this culture has flourished for hundreds of years. Society has developed a serious dependency to using electricity, natural gas, coal, and fossil fuels, or non-renewable fuels. These amenities are no longer luxuries; they are an essential part of daily life for the multitude of humankind. Unfortunately, these natural resources are vastly depleting and cannot be replenished. This is why it is necessary to conserve resources for future generations. Many people do not fully understand the differences between renewable and non-renewable energy resources and why it is so crucial to conserve. Non-renewable resources are unable to rejuvenate themselves. They do not grow or reform. Once they are depleted, there will be none thereafter. Renewable energy sources are: solar power...

...power U.S. factories, businesses and homes. However, as worries increases over the high costs and environmental effects of reliance on limited natural resources, more Americans are looking to alternative energy for the future. The burning of these fuels causes severe air pollution and thus contributes to the “greenhouse effect.” This enormous amount of consumption will be the ultimate cause of the scarcity of oil in the future and of environmental pollution. If people do not develop any substitutes to burning fossil fuels in the next few decades, people will experience a new and large-scale energy crisis. In the U.S., there is a high demand for gasoline. However, if people start to use alternatives fuel vehicles, it can lower the demand of oil, which will in turn minimize the oil-dependence and potential environmental problems. Jim Motavalli, the editor of E: The Environmental Magazine, once said in his book Forward Drive, that “At long last, technological wizardry is being applied to the automobile, with the result being a new generation of cleaner cars. The gasoline engine represents yesterday’s solution to our transportation problems” (Motavalli, XIII) Today, hybrid cars are the best solution for America’s addiction to fossil fuels because they use clean energy to power vehicles, have compatible performance compared to conventional gasoline and diesel cars, and provide economic incentive for buyers. People believe that carbon dioxide (CO2) is one the causes of greenhouse effects...
