“…The parameters of each component are listed in Table 1. The outdoor thermal environmental parameters were extracted from those of the typical meteorological year of Hanzhong, and those for indoor were obtained from References [15][16][17][18] for model calculation. In addition, the indoor temperatures in winter and summer were respectively designed as 14℃ and 28℃, considering the impacts of winter heating and summer cooling in main rooms of rural buildings (e.g.…”

In order to improve the of the indoor thermal environment quality of rural residential buildings in southern Shaanxi, China, a calculation model for the typical brick-concrete residential building in that area was established based on field survey results. A dynamic simulation was carried out to determine how the window-to-wall ratio (WWR) of different orientations and the heat transfer coefficient of the window affect the total energy consumption of the typical building in the study area, as well as the energy consumed in cooling and heating. The results show that, with the increase in the WWR of any orientation, the building consumed more energy in cooling and fewer energy in heating; the optimal window orientation in the study area should be south, north, east and west; in order to save energy, the south-facing WWR should fall within 0.3~0.7, the east-facing WWR should stay below 0.7, and the west-facing wall should not have any window or have a small window; the building energy consumption could be reduced by enhancing the insulation performance of the window, and the reduction rate increased with the WWR, especially with the east-or west-facing WWR.

“…By allowing energy-constrained instruments to work in a more regulated manner, wireless power charging technology has enhanced the long-term viability and longevity of wearable electronics. [8] In addition to powering medical sensors, embed devices, recharging detectors implanted in solid walls, and empowering an unmanned aerial vehicle's ground sensor, wireless power charging is currently being used in a variety of applications. Providing appropriate power density for charging a standard-sized portable electronic device, on the other hand, is difficult, posing a design problem [9].…”

The intelligent wearable travel aid device has been developed for blind person usage for traveling purposes. The intelligent wearable travel aid device will be used along with the long cane that is usually used to detect any obstructions around the blind person. However, the problem on power supply to supply the electrical energy for the intelligent wearable travel aid device to work properly always been occurred. In order to fit the energy harvesting device on the intelligent wearable travel aid device, the comparison of the solar panel and photodiode is done. The performance evaluation to compare theenergy harvesting method on the developed intelligent wearable travel aid device for blind person has been conductedbased on the experiment result. The photodiode is proposed in this study due to small size and easy to arrange on top of developed wearable travel aid device compared to the solar panel which big size but commonly used as energy harvesting device. Consequently, the experimental result of the intelligent wearable travel aid device in terms of voltage, current and light intensity for the improved version with different type of configuration is proven respectively.

“…In the midst of the fossil fuel and energy crisis, obtaining a new sustainable source of energy to power portable devices become a new ield of research for renewable energy harvesting. The mechanical system as sources of energy can be an interesting alternative to harvest energy [15]. When mechanical energy is available either from vehicles, humans and other vibrating structures, mechanical energy harvesting remains an option that can be considered [16].…”

The portal gate systems for the parking area need electricity for opening/closing the portal (barrier crossbar) and printing the parking ticket. The Mechanical Energy Harvesting Unit (MEHU) presented in this paper is designed for supplying electrical energy needed by the portal gate system for its operation. The MEHU converted the linear movement of the slider into the rotating movement of the lywheel using rack and pinion. The energy stored in the ly wheel is used to turn a small electric generator attached to the energy harvesting unit that provided electricity for the portal gate system. This energy harvesting unit is designed as a breakthrough to produce electrical energy by utilizing the weight of the vehicle that enters the parking space. The linear movement of the slider is gained from the weight of the vehicle that passed on the MEHU. This system is appropriate for stand-alone portal gate systems. Three categories of passenger cars (small, medium and large) each with the mass of 1300 kg, 1700 kg, and 2000 kg respectively were used in the experiment. The three vehicles used for these experiments were able to produce a maximum rotation of the harvesting unit's electric generator for 2500 rpm, 2890 rpm, and 3140 rpm, respectively. The testing of the harvesting unit's electric generator was done with a continuous rotation. The electrical loads were taken from LED lights with the voltage of 24 Volt, 18 Volt and 12 Volt produces power of 19 Volt x 3.6 mAmp (4000 rpm), 17 Volt x 4.3 mAmp (3500 rpm), and 12 Volt x 11 mAmp (2400 rpm) respectively. Initial testing of the MEHU shows that this equipment is capable of producing the required electrical energy.
