Design and Implementation of a Prototype of Piezo Transduced Intelligent Power Management System for Efficient Street Lighting

By Md. Atik-Uz-Zaman Atik Md. Niaz Mostakim Nazmus Sarwar

To meet the ever-growing demand of this power hungry world, wasted energy can play a significant role. Wasted energy is the one which is not used in any part of a transferred or transformed process. Footstep energy is such a type that can be utilized properly in potential areas like crowded places. Every time people walk, a system captures this energy as pressure or stress and then converts it into electrical energy. This paper presents the design of a prototype of pressure transduced intelligent power management system for the street lighting system that can be self-enabled automatically from dawn to dusk. A way of avoiding the risk of battery damage is introduced in this design. A priority based power connection scheme is also shown to make an effective power management system for this system. The output results are also in accord with the design scheme that indicate almost linear relationships between stress in piezo transducers and voltage or power produced from it.

Modeling Electricity Bill with the Reflection of CO2 Emissions and Methods of Implementing AMI for Smart Grid in Bangladesh

By Md. Atik-Uz-Zaman Atik Abu Osman Al Mahbub

Taking into consideration the lack of circumstantial alertness, automated fault analysis and labor-saving switches, the present-day electrical power grid system has been deteriorating day by day. The backbone technology of this grid system is too ill-fitted to the on-going demand for electricity. Despite the fact that the government of Bangladesh has set a new target of reaching the total power generation to be 40,000 MW by 2030. Hence the infrastructure and corresponding technology of the electrical power sector are required to be modernized to cope with this gigantic target within a short time. Another challenging fact is that the rapid expansion of population and power-intensive industrialization trigger off the carbon emissions that lead to global climate change. Also, the constraints of electricity generation capacity, unidirectional way of communication, failure of power equipment and dropping off conventional sources of energy impose burden on the existing electric power grid. This paper articulates the needfulness of reflection on CO2 emissions or reduction in the electricity bill of the consumer in developing countries by employing a mathematical model and by proposing some fruitful methods to implement AMI for smart grid.
