I. INTRODUCTION
RENEWABLE ENERGY
A worldwide, more than half of all new electricity capacity installed was
renewable. Renewable energy resources exist over wide geographical areas, in
contrast to other energy sources, which are concentrated in a limited number of
countries. Rapid deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency is
resulting in significant energy security, climate change mitigation, and economic
benefits. The results of a recent review of the literature concluded that
as greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters begin to be held liable for damages resulting
from GHG emissions resulting in climate change, a high value for liability
mitigation would provide powerful incentives for deployment of renewable energy
technologies.
In international public opinion surveys there is strong support for
promoting renewable sources such as solar power and wind power. At the national
level, at least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy
contributing more than 20 percent of energy supply. National renewable energy
markets are projected to continue to grow strongly in the coming decade and
beyond. Some places and at least two countries, Iceland and Norway generate all
their electricity using renewable energy already, and many other countries have the
set a goal to reach 100% renewable energy in the future. For example,
in Denmark the government decided to switch the total energy supply (electricity,
mobility and heating/cooling) to 100% renewable energy by 2050.

While many renewable energy projects are large-scale, renewable
technologies are also suited to rural and remote areas and developing countries,
where energy is often crucial in human development. United Nations' Secretary-
General Ban Ki-moon has said that renewable energy has the ability to lift the
poorest nations to new levels of prosperity. As most of renewables provide
electricity, renewable energy deployment is often applied in conjunction with
further electrification, which has several benefits:
SOLAR ENERGY
Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun, is harnessed using a
range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar
heating, photovoltaics, concentrated solar power , concentrator
photovoltaics , solar architecture and artificial photosynthesis. Solar technologies
are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the
way they capture, convert and distribute solar energy.
ENERGY STORAGE
The EIA has predicted that almost two thirds of net additions to
power capacity will come from renewables by 2020 due to the combined policy
benefits of local pollution, decarbonisation and energy diversification. Some
studies have set out roadmaps to power 100% of the world’s energy with wind,
hydroelectric and solar by the year 2030.According to a 2011 projection by the
International Energy Agency, solar power generators may produce most of the
world's electricity within 50 years, reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases that
harm the environment.

POWER CONSUMPTION
mechanical portion of our project. The Power Converter is the portion which
converts the rotational energy into electrical energy. It contains some mechanical
parts but mostly electrical components such as the generator itself. The
Disinfection Chamber was the reach goal portion of the budget and is where
medical instruments would have been placed to undergo their disinfection
irradiation. We anticipated needing UVGI lamps to test and multiple iterations of
chamber geometry before finalizing the attachment.
CHAPTER 2
Power Generation
Energy exists in many forms all around us. The development of our modern
society has been accomplished because scientists and engineers have learned to
capture some of that energy and transform it into ways to do useful work. The
conversion of energy from a chunk of coal into steam and then into mechanical
engines that could do heavy work was a critically important role for engineers in
the 19th century that helped to start the industrial revolution. An engineer must
know where to "find" energy resources and then how to convert them into forms
that are more useful for all of the machines and gadgets we use in our daily lives.
Look around this room, what tools or devices are using energy? Light fixtures are a
good example.
They convert electrical energy into light (radiant) energy. What about this cup of
water (hold up a cup of water), does it have energy? It has a state of energy called
potential energy because it is held up at an elevation. If the water is poured into a
pail, the potential energy is released as the water now is moving with some
velocity. This is a kinetic state of energy.
The goal of this class is to explore some critical terms that are needed for energy –
forms of energy and states of energy. Tomorrow, that information will be used as
we evaluate several items, like the lights in this class, to see how they convert
energy from one form to another.
MAINSTREAM TECHNOLOGIES
Wind power
Airflows can be used to run wind turbines. Modern utility-scale wind turbines
range from around 600 kW to 9 MW of rated power. The power available from the
wind is a function of the cube of the wind speed, so as wind speed increases, power
output increases up to the maximum output for the particular turbine. Areas where
winds are stronger and more constant, such as offshore and high altitude sites, are
preferred locations for wind farms.
Typically full load hours of wind turbines vary between 16 and 57 percent
annually, but might be higher in particularly favorable offshore sites.Wind-
generated electricity met nearly 4% of global electricity demand in 2015, with
nearly 63 GW of new wind power capacity installed. Wind energy was the leading
source of new capacity in Europe, the US and Canada, and the second largest in
China. In Denmark, wind energy met more than 40% of its electricity demand
while Ireland, Portugal and Spain each met nearly 20%.
Globally, the long-term technical potential of wind energy is believed to be five
times total current global energy production, or 40 times current electricity
demand, assuming all practical barriers needed were overcome. This would require
wind turbines to be installed over large areas, particularly in areas of higher wind
resources, such as offshore. As offshore wind speeds average ~90% greater than
that of land, so offshore resources can contribute substantially more energy than
land stationed turbines.

LITERATURE SURVEY
Near about 400 years ago Sir Isaac Newton had invented the
phenomenon of gravity. After that London based scientist Martin Radford and
Jim Reeves researches developing light as an off-line project for 4 years. To
make gravity light they were used and tested manufacture that has appropriate
knowledge of it. To the storing of energy and produce lighting, the gravity
power generation w as the innovative approach. Creating the 30- minutes light
it takes only 3-secs to lift the weight which powers gravity at its descent.
Chun-Cho Wang and Yuh-suiang has strongly implemented the idea of
gravity power generation mechanism, as per their conception for the
electricity, more simplified mechanism issued.
The apparatus consists of crank and pin arrangement bearing variable loads
and supporting stand. The arrangement ofpulley in such a way that diameter of
upper pulley is large as compared to the bottom pulley and these two pulleys are
aligned in a vertical plane. Variable loads are mounted on the belt as shown in the
above figure and this belt is mountedon two variable pulleys by using nut and bolt.
For the generation of electricity the Mini DC generator is used which is
connected to the flywheel through pinion and this flywheel is attached to the
bottom pulley.
The flywheel is used in thisarrangement for the load balance purpose. The
arrangement requires some initial force to rotate the variable loads in circular
motion, after that it will works ongravitational force in which the loads from the
higher altitude are fall down due to the gravitational energy and hence
the lower loads are pulled up due to the movement of upper load and hence the
chain will continue for some duration.
Next, the kinetic energy will be transmitted to a power generating unit to perform
another energy conversion ofconverting the kinetic energy into the electrical
energy. And finally, a power supply system is used to transmit the
electric energy out.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The perpetual motion is the deal like propeller which never stops
rotating without any motor. In this way we try to attain perpetual motion
using gravitational energy. the gravity power generation mechanism. The
arrangement consists of dead weight fixed on wheel carrying variable loads
and supporting stand. The system of gears arranges in such a way that, the
diameter of upper gear is more co-related with bottom gear and those two
gears are adjust in a vertical line.
Variable weights are placed on the wheel as we can see in fig.2.1 and
this wheel is fatherly linked with the flywheel. The mini D.C. generator is
used for the electricity generation which is linked with flywheel and that
flywheel is attached to the bottom gear. In this arrangement the flywheel is
introduced for the balancing of loads.
In this arrangement it needs some initial thrust to achieve the spinning of dead
weights in circular manner.
In the equation:
So if you know how massive two objects are and how far they are apart, you can
figure out the force between them.
g=GMR2g=GMR2
M=gR2GM=gR2G
The diagram above has A, B and C are:
Ar = rotational speed of the small pulley A with the
generator attached,
B= rotational speed of the large pulley B
By starting with the generator, in this case a synchronous motor is used. When it is
turned the shaft of a motor, the motor acts like a generator, producing electricity.
There is a small pulley that is attached to the generator shaft and its diameter is
5.25 cm. and circumference is 16.5 cm. Now there needs a rotational speed for the
small pulley of 5-6 RPM to find some combination of large pulley with attached
small pulley (or sprocket in this case), and possibly more than one of them that
would cause a mass to fall at a reasonably slow speed for long enough to light
the LED for a reasonably long
