Now-a-days, Bangladesh is facing a problem with shortage of natural resources especially in gas sector. A large number of population in Bangladesh do not have the facilities of electricity. Besides that the people of remote area are normally far from modern facilities such education, health, online services etc. In general, they use kerosene as fuel for lighting purpose and it is hard for them to access modern technologies such as mobile, computer, internet, e-health. Pedal generator, a flywheel driven by human and coupled with an electric generator. may be an alternative solution in these situations. The efficiency and the performance was good. It can be operated in a standalone mode or may be used with PV module as a hybrid system. Though, the research has been done with respect to Bangladesh, this can be applicable everywhere. This will provide an easy, cheap, handy and pollution free source of energy by means of pedal generator.

The aim of this paper is to explore a new model to generate electricity with higher penetration rate of renewable energy. Conventional system to generate electricity is to generate large amount electricity at power station and then deliver to the consumer through long transmission line and distribution system. The losses and costs, incorporated with these processes, are not negligible. Another System is the Solar Home System (SHS) which is being used to replace traditional kerosene based lamp, battery based TV, fan and light bulb from 1998 in Bangladesh. But with the advancement of technology, the demand of the consumer is increasing significantly. To meet this demand it is necessary to expand national grid connection. An alternative way is to produce sufficient power using renewable resources at consuming spots. A novel method to achieve this goal has been discussed in this paper which is supported by the field study of Bangladesh University. Also a comparison has been shown with traditional power system.

Bangladesh is said to be one of the biggest energy starved countries, with the present demand for electricity at 9000 plus MW (Mega Watt) as opposed to the production of 6500 to 7500 MW. Access to electricity in Bangladesh is one of the lowest, about 40 percent of the total population are without access to adequate, cheap and quality energy. At present, we have to depend on indigenous energy resources, which are finite as well - gas, oil, furnace oil and coal to produce electricity. And about 55 per cent of our natural gas is used to produce this power. The reserve of gas is not infinite and will soon run out and before that happens, we must adopt alternative energy sources, be it renewable with a bio ecological/ green revolution or build nuclear power plants (NPP). Hence, the government recently decided to join the world's 30strong nuclear power club, signing an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Russia on November 2, 2011 for a nuclear power plant at Rooppur, Ishwardi of Pabna district, in the country's northwest region. This paper discusses about the prospect of green power generation in our country by using nuclear energy and find out if it is a proper decision to build a nuclear power plant in Bangladesh.

This paper reviews the prospects of available renewable energy resources along with various private and government future project plans to incorporate renewable energy sources and its potentials in perspective of Bangladesh. In an arising country like Bangladesh demand for energy will be burgeoning. Present day, in Bangladesh dearth of energy is ubiquitous and near about 70% of its population is excluded from access to electricity and bulk of the people are living in rural areas. Among several renewable energy resources, the application of solar Photo Voltaic (PV) is renowned although the largest plant based on renewable energy goes into hydroelectricity. Additionally, wind, biogas, mini hydro and tidal are also well known. A plan has been initiated by the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) to generate 5% of the total energy from renewable energy resources within 2015 and 20% by the year of 2020. Through the approved renewable energy policy, the GOB is devoted to facilitate investment in both public and private sectors in renewable energy projects to substitute contemporaneous non-renewable energy resources and escalate the contributions of renewable energy based electricity generation. With this context, review of recent activities on concurrent renewable energy resources is imperative as well as to explore potentials of the resources. However, not all renewable energy sources are suitable to install indiscriminately in all regions, rather there are certain parameters to choose a source of RER for efficacy. After reading this paper, an investor will get significant information about current scenario and steering for future involvement of renewable energy sources in Bangladesh. Furthermore, this paper will be instrumental to select optimum efficacious renewable energy sources for a particular region.

Power quality is one of the most significant current discussions in electric energy distribution systems. The issue of harmonics has been a controversial and much disputed subject within the field of power quality. Harmonic current originates from all types of nonlinear loads. This paper attempts to show the impacts of rapidly increasing share of nonlinear loads on harmonic distortion of urban distribution feeders. The recommendations of IEEE Std. 519-1992 and Bangladesh Grid Code are considered carefully. Simulations have been carried out to find out how far the existing distribution system can accommodate non-linear loads. Results show that though the connected load is not hampering power quality of test distribution at present, an increase of nonlinear load share above 30% would cause Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) go beyond tolerable limit and result in poor power quality.

World is heading towards the crisis of fossil fuel. Energy crisis is more acute in Bangladesh, as there is no petro-fuel source but only natural gas. It has among the lowest per capita energy (240 kg oil equivalents) consumption in the world and is severely dependent on additional environmentally friendly renewable energy resources in the future. To cope up with present situation and to reduce dependency on imported fuel, Bangladesh government is encouraging the use of renewable energy sources. In this circumstances, biofuel can be a very good alternative fuel for transportation. This paper gives insight into biofuel production feasibility and it's usage for road transport can play an important role in the biggest metropolitan city of Bangladesh and contributes to knowledge on how to perform similar studies. Resource-focused assessment including feedstock from the waste sector, agricultural sector, forestry sector and aquatic environments partially considering technological and economic constraints. Sufficient evidence have been found for biofuel production and can met at-least 10% of energy demand for road transport of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Without compromising with food security the study suggests that it is possible to significantly increase the biofuel production, and to do this as an integrated part of the existing society also contributing with positive societal synergies.

Present development of the world is measured by the amount of energy consumption. Energy of today world is generated from conventional energy sources mostly which are decreasing day by day. Moreover, these conventional energy sources causes pollution and responsible for global warming of the world. To solve these problems, researchers are trying frequently to explore new sources of energy which are clean, environment friendly, sustainable. This research is focused on auto lighting on street lights utilizing the jerking pressure which is wasted during the vehicles passes over speed breaker in roadside. In this work, the amount of electricity generation depend on spring constant, displacement of rack, number of vehicle, weight of the vehicle, gear ratio and number of gear combination are addressed as well as the techniques to increase the efficiency of the system is discussed. In response of public demand, number of vehicles is increased day by day for transportation facilities and hence this system can fulfil the demand of electricity in roadside and small area also. Auto street lights secure safety to the passer-by at roadside and raise awareness towards the new technology.

The objective of this paper is to discover the amount of shifted energy produced by solar photovoltaic panel from lower demand period to higher demand period using the optimum tilt angle method. When the incident ray is at right angles to the panel plane, the output of a panel is highest. For maximum generation, the alignment of the panel should be changed according to the sun's position due to variations in the locus of the sun over the year. However, solar tracking system may not be suitable for this purpose as it requires high cost, maintenance and space. For an isolated area demand profile and generation profile may not be same and hence surplus or shortage will be occurred. It is hardly possible to use surplus energy considering certain demand profile constraints. Even, it is not possible to store the surplus energy of a season to any device for long time to use it for another season. Optimum tilt angle (OPTANG) method has been analysed for an isolated island of Bangladesh and shown that it is possible to shift the surplus energy to shortage season from surplus season.

Energy crisis is one of the major problems for the economic growth and development of Bangladesh. The gap between power supply and demand is increasing day after day. Moreover, most of the power plants are based on fossil fuel and have the risk of being phased out in future. This paper aims to solve these problems by balancing the power supply and demand in a smart environment, focusing mainly on distributed energy resources (DER). The main DER components of the system are power plants based on renewable energy sources (RES). Since RES are intermittent, back up from fossil fuel based plants are also integrated in the final model to increase the system reliability. During off-peak hours residual energy from RES will be stored in the proposed storage arrangement. The proactive consumers (prosumer) in the demand side will have the scope to sell this stored energy to the national grid during peak hours in a proposed smart bilateral network. Finally, grid monitoring and metering interface with an advanced control mechanism has been developed, which is expected to increase the flexibility of the prosumer to handle their energy usage and costs.

Although today's major concerns are moving to renewable energy and the saving of energy, there are deeper energy-related issues which are less discussed and explored. To what extent can renewable energy take over from conventional sources? How much into the future should we be concerned about? Electricity generation for stationary applications can be from coal, nuclear power, solar power and wind turbines, whereas transportation relies mostly on increasingly scarce oil. Coal and nuclear fuel will be nowhere close to depletion over the next 100 years. Both governments and commercial organizations mostly benefit from increased energy consumption, and cannot be fully relied upon to pursue saving energy and the environment. It is private citizens who are most concerned about saving energy, being concerned about availability in their own lifetimes and that of their children. However, the general public is less aware of the deeper issues involved. The issues of energy and the environment are interdependent on each other, and determine the quality of life for ourselves and our future generations. As the attitude of people to saving energy determines availability (or depletion) for future generations, this paper explores facts vs. public perceptions on energy. A preliminary survey was conducted, which found that there are genuine concerns about saving energy and the environment. Areas where there were misconceptions were identified. Although the sample size was small (<;100), the survey paved they way for a broader survey with a larger sample size.

The issues of energy and the environment are interdependent on each other, and determine the quality of life for ourselves and our future generations. As the attitude of people to saving energy determines availability (or depletion) for future generations, this paper explores facts vs. public perceptions on energy. A preliminary survey was conducted, which found that there are genuine concerns about saving energy and the environment. Areas where there were misconceptions were identified. Although the sample size was small (<;100), the survey paved they way for a broader survey with a larger sample size.","PeriodicalId":404901,"journal":{"name":"2015 3rd International Conference on Green Energy and Technology (ICGET)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125891436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
