Renewable energy sources
Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that are naturally replenished at a rate equal to or faster than the rate at which they are consumed. In contrast, non-renewable sources like oil, gas and coal are being depleted faster than they can be replenished. Some key renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass, and ethanol. It is important to use renewable sources because they are sustainable.
Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy harnesses heat from within the Earth through underground reservoirs of hot water or steam, which can be used to generate electricity or heat buildings. It is produced in volcanic areas where molten rock heats groundwater. Power plants extract steam to turn turbines and generate electricity. The Philippines generates 27% of its electricity from geothermal energy due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire with abundant volcanic activity providing geothermal reservoirs.
Physics and chemistry
Energy can be either renewable or non-renewable. Renewable energy sources include wind, solar, and hydropower as they are naturally replenished, while non-renewable sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas are finite and will eventually be depleted. Various renewable technologies can harness energy from the sun through solar panels, convert kinetic energy from wind with wind turbines, or generate power from ocean waves using turbines. Non-renewable sources like coal and oil are burned to produce heat that evaporates water and spins turbines to generate electricity, while nuclear power works by splitting atoms to heat water and power turbines.
Geothermal
Geothermal energy harnesses heat from within the Earth's crust that is generated from radioactive decay. It is classified as a renewable resource and can be used for electricity generation, heating homes and buildings, and other industrial applications. There are three main categories of geothermal resources based on temperature that determine appropriate applications - low, moderate, and high temperature. While geothermal energy has advantages of being renewable and producing zero emissions, safety issues and potential environmental impacts need to be addressed for large-scale development and use.

Basic appoarch to urban drainage runoff quantity and quality
This document discusses approaches to urban drainage and management of runoff quantity and quality. It explains that traditional drainage methods focus on end-of-pipe solutions and canalization, which can increase surface flows and flood peaks. Sustainable drainage systems (SUDS) methods maintain natural conditions using storage and infiltration to control runoff. Common design approaches include empirical peak runoff methods, hydrologic simulation models, and the Rational Method equation. Models simulate the effects of development on stormwater systems. Managing runoff quality is also important as urbanization increases impervious surfaces and runoff into streams.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniques
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoring
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
