Hydrogen Energy
1. Electrolytic Production
It is a process of separating hydrogen and oxygen from water by
passing electric current. If electrolyte is added it increases the
conductivity and efficiency of process. When electricity is passes
hydrogen attracted by cathode and oxygen attracted by anode.
Cathode : 4H 2O+
4e- - 2H2 +4 OH-
Anode: 4 OH- _
O 2 + 2H 2O+ 4e-
If Proton exchange membrane
Cathode : 4H + + 4e- - 2H 2Anode: 2H 2O _ O2+ 4e-
Geothermal energy is the clean and sustainable heat resource from the earth. It
ranges from shallow ground to extremely high temperature death called magma.
this geothermal energy is used in production of electricity, extraction of rare
elements, air conditioning, medical purpose, mineral water bottling, heating
purpose, industry application, agriculture, growing vegetables, cattle breeding,
drying seeds, etc.
The selection of a wind farm site is complex and time consuming, and
also it involves multiple disciplines working on parallel paths.
Financing, government permits, meteorological studies, land use
restrictions, and design have to be completed well along before a site
is approved and before the construction can begin.
Wind is the energy resource that drives a wind turbine. A windmill
needs to be placed on a high tower located in wind area. Not just any
wind will do, a wind turbine needs air that moves uniformly in the
same direction.

Turbine Height
Installation of wind turbine (simple rule of thumb)
1. Hill effect
2. Roughness or the amount of friction that earth’s
surface exerts on wind:
3. Tunnel effect:
4. Turbulence
5. Variations in wind speed
6. Wind obstacles
7. Wind shear
1. Turbines work best when on high and exposed sites. Coastal sites
are especially good.
2. Town centres and highly populated residential areas are usually not
suitable sites for wind turbines.
3. Avoid roof-mounted turbines as there is no guarantee that these
devices will not damage property through vibration.
Gear box: Gears connect the low-speed shaft to the high-speed shaft and increase the
rotational speeds
Nacelle: The nacelle sits atop the tower and contains the gear box, low- and high-speed
shafts, generator, controller, and brake. Some nacelles are large enough for a helicopter to
land on.
Pitch: Blades are turned, or pitched, out of the wind to control the rotor speed and keep the
rotor from turning in winds that are too high or too low to produce electricity
Tower: Towers are made from tubular steel (shown here), concrete,
or steel lattice. Because wind speed increases with height, taller
towers enable turbines to capture more energy and generate more
electricity.
1. Auditing of wastes
2. Proper incinerator selection
3. Proper operation of incinerator
4. Removal of dangerous chemicals and toxic gases
5. Safe handling and disposal of incinerator residues
