Evaluation of Electric Energy Generation from Sound Energy Using Piezoelectric Actuator
International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2013): 6.14 | Impact Factor (2014): 5.611 Evaluation of Electric Energy Generation from Sound Energy Using Piezoelectric Actuator Mohana Faroug Saeed Attia1, Afraa Ibraheim Mohmmed Abdalateef2 1Department of Physics, University of Dongola, Sudan 2Collaborator Instructor University of Khartoum, Sudan Abstract: This paper presents the work done on the conversion techniques and methodologies of converting sound energy to its electrical counterpart, and focuses on the future of this type of energy sources than wind energy, solar energy, and biogas. Also, it includes the increase in energy consumption due to ever growing number of electronic devices, and the harvesting energy from humans and using of piezoelectricity. In the experimental work, a piezoelectric generator lead zirconate titante (PZT actuator) is used to extract sound energy from the loudspeaker from various distances and then to convert this energy into electrical energy. The maximum voltage generated by the piezoelectric generator occurs when its resonant frequency is operating near the frequency of sound. The result shows that the maximum output voltage of 28.8 mVrms was obtained with the sound intensity of 80.5 dB resonant frequency of 65 Hz at 1 cm distance in the first mode. In the second mode, the maximum output voltage of 94 m Vrms was obtained with the sound intensity of 105.7 dB at resonant frequency of 378 Hz at 1 cm which is larger than that of the first mode. However, for both modes, voltage decreases as distance increases. Keywords: piezoelectric effect, sound energy, piezoelectric material, resonant frequency, PZT actuator, electricity 1.

Energy Efficiency As a Low-Cost Resource for Achieving Carbon Emissions Reductions
Energy Effi ciency as a Low-Cost Resource for Achieving Carbon Emissions Reductions A RESOURCE OF THE NATIONAL ACTION PLAN FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY SEPTEMBER 2009 About This Document This paper, Energy Effi ciency as a Low-Cost Resource for Achieving Carbon Emissions Reductions, is provided to assist utility regulators, gas and electric utilities, and others in meeting the National Action Plan for Energy Effi ciency’s goal of achieving all cost-effective energy effi ciency by 2025. This paper summarizes the scale and economic value of energy effi - ciency for reducing carbon emissions and discusses the barriers to achieving the potential for cost-effective energy effi ciency. It also reviews current regional, state, and local approaches for including energy effi ciency in climate policy, using these approaches to inform a set of recommendations for leveraging energy effi ciency within state climate policy. The paper does not capture federal climate policy options or recommendations, discussion of tradable energy effi ciency credits, or emissions impacts of specifi c energy effi ciency measures or programs. The intended audience for the paper is any stakeholder interested in learning more about how to advance energy effi ciency as a low-cost resource to reduce carbon emissions. All stakeholders, including state policy-makers, public utility commissions, city councils, and utilities, can use this paper to understand the key issues and terminology, as well as the approaches that are being used to reduce carbon emissions by advancing energy effi ciency policies and programs. Energy Efficiency as a Low-Cost Resource for Achieving Carbon Emissions Reductions A RESOURCE OF THE NATIONAL ACTION PLAN FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY SEPTEMBER 2009 The Leadership Group of the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency is committed to taking action to increase investment in cost-effective energy efficiency.

Kitsap County Watershed Location Map Washington State Seems to Have an Abundance of Water
KITSAP COUNTY INITIAL BASIN ASSESSMENT October 1997 With the multitudes of lakes, streams, and rivers, Kitsap County Watershed Location Map Washington State seems to have an abundance of water. The demand for water resources, however, has steadily increased each year, while the water supply has stayed the same, or in some cases, appears to have declined. This increased demand for limited water resources has made approving new water uses complex and controversial. To expedite decisions about pending water rights, it is vital to accurately assess the quality and quantity of our surface and ground water. The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) recognizes that water right decisions must be based on accurate scientific information. Ecology is working with consultants and local governments to conduct special studies called Initial What do we know about the Kitsap County Watershed or Basin Assessments throughout the Basin? State. The assessments describe existing water rights, streamflows, precipitation, geology, hydrology, Kitsap County encompasses almost 400 square miles and water quality, fisheries resources, and land use occupies a peninsula and several islands in Puget Sound. patterns.

The 7 Forms of Energy Directions: Read and Highlight the Following Information
The 7 Forms of Energy Directions: Read and highlight the following information. Electricity So now we have the total transformation for coal‐generated electricity. Working backwards from the generator through the turbine into the steam stopping at burning coal, we have 4 different energies that are used along the electricity generating process. Chemical Energy In Ohio, eletricity begins with burning coal. Burning coal releases chemical energy. Chemical energy is the energy given off during a chemical change. During chemical changes atoms rearrange creating new molecules and compounds. When they rearrange, they give off energy. Even just burning something as we do with coal is enough to cause the atoms to rearrange and release chemical energy. When a chemical change occurs, there are a variety of signs that help identify when the change is occurring. Indicators such as gas formation, light generation, heat creation, formation of a precipitate, permanent color change, and odor are all signs that a chemical change has occurred. When one of the signs is present during a change, chemical energy is released. The reason we use coal, oil, and natural gas is because when burned, the chemical energy released gives off lots of thermal energy (and some other energy as well). Thermal Energy When coal is burned, a chemical change occurs. We know this because coal gives off lots of thermal energy (heat). It also displays all of the signs of a chemical change (gas, light, heat, precipitate, color, and odor). In order to capture the thermal energy in a more useable form, power plants heat water.

South Puget Sound Prairies the Nature Conservancy of Washington 2007 Conservation Vision
Conservation Action Planning Report for the SOUTH PUGET SOUND PRAIRIES The Nature Conservancy of Washington 2007 CONSERVATION VISION Successful conservation of the South Puget Sound Prairies will entail elements of protection, active land management and restoration, and integration of the full suite of partners working within the Willamette Valley - Puget Trough - Georgia Basin Ecoregion. The portfolio of protected conservation sites will contain a mosaic of habitats that support the full-range of prairie and oak woodland species. This portfolio will be a total of 20 protected sites, including at least six core areas. The core areas of the portfolio consist of protected sites embedded within a mosaic of land-use that complements prairie conservation and the protected conservation sites. The portfolio will take advantage of the wide-range of microclimates in the South Puget Sound, aimed at providing resiliency to the potential effects of climate change. The South Puget Sound will contribute to the conservation of rare species by promoting and implementing recovery actions throughout their historic range. Active management of the prairie maximizes the contribution to conservation of all portfolio sites. These management actions are coordinated and integrated across a range of partners and landowners. This integration ensures that information transfer is exemplary, that organizations are linked formally and informally and that sufficient resources are generated for all partners. The South Puget Sound Prairies will be a primary source for prairie-specific science and restoration techniques. It will similarly be a source concerning the science and conservation for fragmented natural systems. Prairie conservation in the South Puget Sound will be supported by a community that is actively engaged through a vigorous volunteer program and supports the financial and policy issues that affect prairies.
