Journal of Alternative and Renewable Energy Sources
Journal of Alternative and Renewable Energy Sources:- is a print e-journal focused towards the rapid Publication of fundamental research papers on all areas of alternative and renewable energy sources. Alternative energy refers to energy sources that have no undesired consequences such for example fossil fuels or nuclear energy. Alternative energy sources are renewable and are thought to be "free" energy sources. Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity/micro hydro, biomass and biofuels for transportation. Renewable energy Alternative energy What is Biomass Biodiesel industrial socielisation Rivers and Hydro Electricity Wind Energy Photovoltaic (PV) systems Solar thermal systems, concentrating solar power Geothermal Energy This Journal involves the comprehensive coverage of all the aspects of alternative and renewable energy.
REVOLUTIONARY TECHNIQUE TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY USING WAVES
Ocean waves are huge, large untapped energy resources and the potential for extracting energy from waves is considerable. Wave energy converters converts the mechanical energy obtained from ocean waves to generate electricity. Researches in generation of electricity using waves are driven for the need to meet electricity demand but it is relatively immature when compared to other types of renewable energy based electricity production. This proposed paper aims to develop a prototype that can utilize the wave energy to produce electricity.

Power Excellence Upgrading in Wind Energy Structure: A Review
Power generation is always done keeping in mind the power generating cost and making the generation capability optimal. In this paper, a survey is carried out on the De-coupling STATCOM which is a device used for power quality improvement and is being used extensively for wind generating farms. It analyzes the design aspects of the conventional STATCOM and then the de-coupling STATCOM. Literature survey is carried out and presented.
Solar Powered Autonomous Vehicle for Green Campus Drive
In major cities, the pollution level is so high due to vehicle emission which contains the carbon monoxide responsible for the global warming as well as the diseases. This leads to a situation that the humans cannot live in those places. In major institutions with huge sprawling lands and buildings with various departments people frequently uses vehicle for their movements which in turn increase the pollution. To overcome these issues, this work is aimed to design a solar powered autonomous vehicle which navigates in the presence of obstacles. Obstacle identification and evasion plays a vital role in the presentation of an independent vehicle. The vehicle is programmed to run on continuous scheduled trips and on demand trips. A mobile app has been developed to schedule on demand. The vehicle navigates itself by predefined routes and follows the path. IR and ultrasonic tracking and obstacle detection technology makes the vehicle to stay on their path and avoiding collision. The sensor in the vehicle detects the presence of an obstacle. Aluminum is preferred for the main body of the vehicle. This paper presents the design and fabrication of the vehicle which comprises of both mechanical and electrical components. The entire unit consists of a microcontroller, sensors, motors solar panels, batteries, power supply and wheels. The overall outcome of this work will be reduction in pollution and easy navigation for all the stakeholders. This pilot project shall increase the use of autonomous solar vehicle for institutions, hospitals and industries where the predefined movements of human and goods are largely encouraged. The designed vehicle is capable to navigate on the basis of decisions taken autonomously.
Hybrid Powered Converter with Relay-Less Automatic Changeover
This paper presents a hybrid powered converter with relay-less automatic changeover. No sensor circuit is needed for the power sources to be interchanged to unlike the conventional automatic changeover. The proposed system has nothing to with relay system. The two power sources are the solar panels and the battery bank. The automatic changeover system is based on the voltage disparity between the two power sources. It is realized by combination of solar panels, bidirectional converter and load. The advantages of the proposed systems are: (i) It is light in weight; (ii) It has minimum power losses; (iii) It is very cheap and (iv) It is transformer-less system. It is applied basically in homes and medium scale industries.
A Piezoelectric Green Energy Source for Powering Traffic Lights and Charging Mobile Phones
Electricity has become a major need of present day civilization and its demand is increasing rapidly. This increasing demand renders some electrical loads unable to function; these loads may be the traffic lights on our roads which use the national grid as their main source of power supply. In order to satisfy the rising energy demands of electricity, a cleaner and renewable power source needs to be explored. This paper emphasized on one of the promising electricity generation methods using piezoelectric materials. In this work the Navy type III Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) material was employed. A circuit was designed to convert the pressure from moving vehicles on our roads into an electric power to power the traffic lights and also charge mobile phones. In the design, microcontroller was used to read the charging rate of the battery and the result was displayed on a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The design was simulated using Proteus 8.3 Professional software. The results from the simulations indicated that the power generated is sufficient to power the traffic lights and also charge mobile phones.
