Electricity generation by burning waste through a process called waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration. Waste is incinerated at high temperatures to produce heat, which boils water and creates steam. This steam then drives turbines, which are connected to generators that produce electricity. The generated electricity is then integrated into the power grid.

 Electricity can be generated by burning waste through a process called waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration. 
Waste is incinerated at high temperatures to produce heat, which boils water and creates steam. This steam then drives turbines, which are connected to generators that produce electricity. The generated electricity is then integrated into the power grid. 
How it works
1) Collection and Preparation:
  Waste materials, primarily Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), are collected and transported to a WTE facility. Here, they are sorted to remove recyclables and hazardous materials. 
2) Combustion:-
  The prepared waste is fed into a high-temperature furnace, or incinerator, where it is burned. 
3) Heat Recovery:
  The intense heat from the combustion process is used to boil water in boilers, producing steam. 
4) Electricity Generation:
   This high-pressure steam turns turbines connected to generators. The mechanical energy from the turbines is converted into electrical energy. 
5) Emission Control:
 The exhaust gases from the incinerator are treated through sophisticated air pollution control systems to reduce harmful emissions before being released into the atmosphere. 
6) Ash Management:
 The remaining ash is collected and sent to landfills for disposal. 
This process not only helps in reducing the volume of waste in landfills but also contributes to a renewable energy supply by turning waste into a valuable energy resource.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan     Japan has developed a technology that allows houses to literally lift off the ground during earthquakes, protecting them from damage.    This is achieved using a system of compressed air and sensors that inflate an airbag under the house, lifting it a few centimeters during tremors. The house then gently settles back down when the shaking stops.      Japan has developed innovative earthquake-resistant technology that allows houses to lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage. This is achieved through systems like the one developed by Air Danshin, which uses compressed air to lift houses on airbags. When sensors detect tremors, the airbag inflates, raising the house a few centimeters and preventing it from shaking violently with the ground.    More detailed explanation: Airbag Technology:- Air Danshin has pioneered the use of large airbags placed b...
