Energy harvesting using two-dimensional magnesiochromite (MgCr2O4)
subject: Device; DFT; Flexoelectricity; MgCr2O4; Two-dimensional material
description: Two-dimensional (2D) materials with high surface activity can be utilized for harvesting energy from small mechanical sources using flexoelectricity. In the present work, we have synthesized an atomically thin 2D spinel MgCr2O4 by a liquid-phase exfoliation process, and characterization shows the preferential exfoliation along the (111) plane with low formation energy. The fabricated flexoelectric device produces an electrical response up to ?3 V (peak-to-peak voltage) upon pressing and releasing the cell with ?0.98 N force. Furthermore, the energy harvesting properties of 2D MgCr2O4 are explored by combining bending with other sources of external energy, with applied varying magnetic flux (Vmax = ?2.6 V) and temperature with 0.9 N force (Vmax = ?18 V). Our calculations determine that 2D MgCr2O4 has a flexoelectric coefficient of approximately ?XZXZ = 0.005 nC/m. Overall, the results indicate that 2D MgCr2O4 is a very promising material for the next generation of self-powered wearable electronics and energy harvesting. 2023 Elsevier Ltd

Energy Harvesting Using ZnO Nanosheet-Decorated 3D-Printed Fabrics
subject: 3D printing; energy harvesting; interface; nanogenerator; two-dimensional ZnO
description: In this work, we decorated piezoresponsive atomically thin ZnO nanosheets on a polymer surface using additive manufacturing (three-dimensional (3D) printing) technology to demonstrate electrical-mechanical coupling phenomena. The output voltage response of the 3D-printed architecture was regulated by varying the external mechanical pressures. Additionally, we have shown energy generation by placing the 3D-printed fabric on the padded shoulder strap of a bag with a load ranging from ?5 to ?75 N, taking advantage of the excellent mechanical strength and flexibility of the coated 3D-printed architecture. The ZnO coating layer forms a stable interface between ZnO nanosheets and the fabric, as confirmed by combining density functional theory (DFT) and electrical measurements. This effectively improves the output performance of the 3D-printed fabric by enhancing the charge transfer at the interface. Therefore, the present work can be used to build a new infrastructure for next-generation energy harvesters capable of carrying out several structural and functional responsibilities. 2023 American Chemical Society.

Energy Intelligence: The Smart Grid Perspective
description: Smart grids enable a two-way data-driven flow of electricity, allowing systematic communication along the distribution line. Smart grids utilize various power sources, automate the process of energy distribution and fault identification, facilitate better power usage, etc. Artificial Intelligence plays an important role in the management of power grids, making it even smarter. With the help of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things, smart grids can optimize the energy consumption, provide continuous feedback on usage, and monitor live usage statistics, thereby making the energy intelligent. Smart grids require specific hardware to continuously monitor and adapt to the requirements of the system. By enabling energy intelligence, we empower building-level and city-level optimizations that make use of green energy, thereby contributing more toward sustainable development. Thus, the multifaceted energy management system uses sustainable and renewable energy sources, combined with smart devices to provide a two-way communication system to optimize the end-to-end distribution of energy, beneficial to both suppliers and consumers.

Energy management of hybrid microgrids A comparative study with hydroplus and methanol based fuel cells
subject: Battery degradation; Emissions; Energy management; Fuel cells; Hydroplus; Operations cost
description: Energy management is essential for the efficient operation of microgrids with reduced energy costs and minimized emissions. Energy management of PV/battery/fuel cell/diesel generator-based microgrid to minimize the operations cost considering battery degradation and emissions for a fully functional microgrid existing in the campus of Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, is presented in this work. A microgrid with a state-of-the-art hydroplus fuel cell without the necessity for hydrogen storage is presented in this study with experimentally obtained parameters. Also, a comparison of operations cost with microgrids using two different technologies of PEM fuel cells, one with hydroplus fuel cell and the second with the methanol fuel cell which requires provision for hydrogen storage is performed with three different cases; the scheduled, grid-tied, and islanded with different scenarios under grid-tied mode. The analysis proved that using a hydroplus fuel cell instead of a methanol fuel cell with hydrogen storage reduces the cost of the daily operation by 6.9% in the scheduled mode and 18.2% in the islanded mode. In the grid-tied mode three different grid limits, 20 kW, 15 kW, and 10 kW are considered. The analysis showed no reduction, 1.3% and 5.9% reduction in the operations cost respectively. The results obtained are highly promising to be applied in microgrids where conventional fuel cells are currently employed. The new technology of fuel cells introduced in this study, possesses the advantages of near zero emissions and reduced operations costs besides avoiding the perilousness of hydrogen storage. 2024 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC

Energy saving, waste management, and pollution free steps for university campuses
subject: Efficacy; SDG-implementation training; UN-SDG; University campus
description: Global warming is a worldwide concern and the documents related to the need for sustainable measures seen in academic and non-academic literature. In a highly populated country like India, these are more severe worries. Multiple established educational institutions across India have taken significant steps in educating their students on sustainable development goals (SDG). Currently there is a need to assess the extent of effect such training has on student populations of such institutes. Present study attempted to assess the efficacy of SDG-implementation training programmes in a reputed private university, through student assessment of student behaviors outside the institute and in their personal life. Using semi-structured in-depth interview methods, interviewed eight students of Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes. These students were active participants of community service programmes arranged by the university within a sustainable development model. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis methods. Emerged themes from data analysis indicate a positive change in their worldview and significant modifications in their personal behavior towards sustainability because of being part of such programmes. Educating others through practice and increased socio-environmental awareness were also major themes. Current study contributes in assessing efficacy of sustainability programmes in educational institutions. This study also suggests few recommendations for increasing competence of the same. 2021 Author(s).

Energy sector in India: Challenges and solutions
subject: Challenges; Energy demands; Energy sector; Energy solutions; Non-conventional
description: Energy plays a vital role in the socio-economic development and human welfare of a country. It is indeed a difficult task to meet the ever increasing demand with minimum environmental risks. Population explosion and economic growth are the two major facts that drives the energy demands. The economic growth rate of India has hit the decade low of 5% in 2012-13, which shows the challenges yet to come. India being a fast developing nation with second largest population in the world, faces a significant challenge to meet the desired economic growth rate and to provide adequate access to affordable and clean energy for a large population. With the growing concern about India's population, energy demands and climatic issues, it is difficult to formulate a sustainable energy plan for the country. At the same time energy plan should have minimal effects on the health of nature by reducing CO2 emissions. To cut down CO2 emissions, to reduce fossil fuel import bills and to reduce the dependence on a third country energy supplies, India has to increase the share of renewable energy sources in the country's final energy consumption to at least 18% by 2020. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of India's energy sector, discusses the current scenario, identifies the energy utilization, challenges and puts forward some effective solutions in meeting the increasing energy demands. 2013 IEEE.

Energy Storage System Modelling for Hybrid Electric Vehicle
subject: Characteristics; Charge; Curves; Discharge; Electrical; State of charge
description: The equivalent circuit model (ECM)-based traditional state-of-charge (SoC) estimate approaches combine all state variables into a single enhanced state vector. However, the stability and accuracy of the estimates are compromised by the correlations between RC voltages and SOC. In this article, the four battery chemistries have been discussed for their state variable characterization i.e. state of charge (SOC). The battery types considered are lead acid, nickel metal hydride, lithium ion. The manufacturera's battery discharge curves are used to determine the model parameters, and a method is also described for doing this. An improved battery model is suggested in this study that can be applied to HEV design and analysis. By incorporating the electrical characteristics of the battery, the model generates precise results. The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2024.

Energy-Aware Multilevel Clustering Scheme for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
subject: Clustering algorithm; Energy-aware clustering; Underwater wireless sensor networks; UWSN
description: The expansion of wireless sensor networks in the underwater environment resulted in underwater wireless sensor networks. It has dramatically impacted the research arena because of its widespread and real-time applications. But successful implementation of underwater wireless sensor networks faces many issues. The primary concern in the underwater sensor network is sensor nodes' energy depletion problem. In this paper, to improve the lifetime of the underwater wireless sensor network, an Energy-Aware Multi-level Clustering Scheme is proposed. The underwater network region is considered 3D concentric cylinders with multiple levels. Further, each level is divided into various blocks, representing one cluster. The proposed algorithm follows vertical communication mode from the sea bed to the surface area in a bottom-up fashion. Multiple levels with varying heights overcome the communication issues due to high water pressure towards the sea bed. Simulations are carried out to show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, which performs better in terms of a prolonged network lifetime and average residual energy. The simulation result shows significant improvement in the network lifetime compared with current algorithms. 2013 IEEE.

Energy-based features for Kannada handwritten digit recognition
subject: DWT; Nearest neighbour; OCR; SVM
description: In this paper, Kannada handwritten digit recognition system is proposed based on energy features. Ground truth datasets are not available to test the performance of proposed features. Hence, own dataset of Kannada handwritten digits are collected from schools, colleges, business persons and professionals. The digital images are pre-processed using morphological opening operation for removing the noise and bilinear operation is used for normalisation. The normalised image is divided into 16 blocks, and then wavelet filters were applied for each of the 16 blocks and computed the standard deviation for each of them. In this process, a total of 64 standard deviation of the wavelet coefficients are generated of which 48 coefficients are selected as potential features. The average recognition accuracy of 94.80% is achieved using nearest neighbour classifier. The proposed algorithm is free from skew and thinning and it is novelty of the paper.

Energy-efficient and secure routing strategy for opportunistic data transmission in WSNs
subject: attackers; energy consumption; opportunistic; security; WSN
description: Driven by the critical importance of routing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and the security vulnerabilities present in existing protocols, this research aims to address the key challenges in securing WSNs. Many current routing protocols focus on computational efficiency but fall short of providing strong security measures, leaving them vulnerable to malicious attacks. Reactive protocols, often preferred for their reduced bandwidth usage, heighten security concerns due to their limited resources for maintaining network routes, while proactive alternatives require more resources. Additionally, the ad hoc nature and energy limitations of WSNs make traditional security models, designed for wired and wireless networks, impractical. To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces the Secured Energy-Efficient Opportunistic Routing Scheme for sustainable WSNs. The proposed protocol is designed to enhance security by continuously updating neighbor information and verifying the validity of routing parameters, while also being power-aware, a critical factor given the energy constraints of WSNs. The protocol has been evaluated through simulation experiments, measuring key performance indicators such as throughput, average end-to-end delay (E2 delay), energy consumption, and network lifetime. The results demonstrate that the proposed protocol effectively strengthens WSN security while addressing the unique operational constraints of these networks. 2024 The Author(s).

Energy-Efficient Cluster-Based Reliable Routing Using Hybrid Nutcracker and Improved Sand Cat Optimization Algorithm for Extending Network Lifetime in WSNs
subject: CH selection; nutcracker optimization algorithm (NCOA); optimized route determination; sand cat optimization algorithm (SCOA); sink node mobility network lifetime
description: In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), sensor nodes are deployed in a target region for sensing environmental physical parameters to attain the objective of reactive decision-making. These sensor nodes necessitate energy for processing and forwarding the sensed data to the base station (BS) for better data delivery in WSNs. Balanced energy utilization in WSNs prevents the problem of hotspot, and dynamic cluster head (CH) selection with reliable route establishment is a vital decision-making approach that helps in optimal path selection with maximized energy conservation. In this paper, a nutcracker and sand cat optimization algorithm (NCSCOA)based multiobjective CH selection and sink node mobility scheme is propounded for enabling rapid and reliable data transmission with reduced energy consumption in heterogeneous WSNs. This NCSCOA handled the problem of hotspot as well as isolated nodes and facilitated loop-free routing with the support of the improved nutcracker optimization algorithm (INCOA) that makes the decision of routing using local and global search optimization processes. It constructed an energy-level matrix (ELM) by deriving the impactful factors of intercluster formation, distance between CH and BS, residual energy (RE), and node density for achieving optimal CH selection and route determination. In specific, improved sand cat optimization algorithm (ISCOA) is used during the intercluster formation phase by discovering the optimized path between source and destination during route establishment. Simulation-based findings of the proposed NCSCOA confirmed its efficacy by improving the mean number of alive nodes by 23.18%, reducing energy consumption and delay by 21.86% and 20.98% compared to benchmarked protocols. 2025 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

subject: Cooja simulator; Directional sensor networks; Microstrip patch antenna; Radio frequency switchboard; Sectored antenna
description: The popularity of Directional Sensor Network (DSN) is increasing due to their improved transmission range, spectral reusability, interference mitigation, and energy efficiency. In this paper, the radio module of the DSN is implemented using an eight-sector antenna array. Two types of sectored antennas, namely the Rectangular Patch Sectored Antenna (RPSA) and the Triangular Patch Sectored Antenna (TPSA), are proposed to operate at frequency of 2.4 GHz ISM band. The RPSA has a half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of 45 and a peak gain of 5.2 dBi, while the TPSA has an HPBW of 48 and a peak gain of 4.16 dBi. The design and performance evaluation of RPSA and TPSA in terms of gain, reflection characteristics (|S11|), and HPBW are conducted using Ansys High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). To demonstrate the concept, the fabricated sectored antennas are connected to MicaZ Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) nodes using an indigenously designed Single Pole 8 Throw (SP8T) Radio Frequency (RF) switchboard. The performance of the DSNs based on RPSA and TPSA is evaluated using the Cooja simulator and a testbed consisting of MicaZ nodes. The results show that RPSA outperforms TPSA and omnidirectional-based WSNs in terms of power consumption, received signal strength, and packet delivery ratio. 2024 IETE.

Energy-efficient low-power LED-mediated effective photodegradation of cationic and anionic dyes by phthalocyanine-based COF sensitized ZnO photoactive material
subject: 2D COF; Cationic and anionic dyes; LED light source; Photodegradation; Phthalocyanine
description: The present work involves the synthesis of 2D covalent organic framework involving zinc phthalocyanine and perylene systems (2DZnPc) as low-power LED visible-light sensitizer for ZnO nanomaterial. The synthesized materials and their composites (2DZnPc@ZnO) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Solid-state diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer to understand the structure, size, morphology, and optical properties. To examine the photodegradation competence of ZnO alone and its four different composites (2DZnPc@ZnO5, 2DZnPc@ZnO10, 2DZnPc@ZnO15, and 2DZnPc@ZnO20) in the presence of the energy-efficient low-power white LED (16 W) as source of visible light, and as modular pollutants, cationic methylene violet (MV) and anionic Eosin Y (EY) dyes were employed. The effect of different parameters on photocatalytic activity such as photocatalyst dosage, interaction time, pH of dye solution, and photocatalyst re-usage is examined. The results indicate that photosensitizing ZnO with 2DZnPc improved photocatalytic performance for the photodegradation of MV and EY dyes substantially. In an optimized environment, the removal efficiency of MV and EY was found to be 98 and 92 % respectively in 90 min. 2024 Elsevier Ltd
