2. Power Generation
Power generation is the process of generating electric power from
other sources of primary energy
There are various methods to generate electricity
The selection of electricity production modes and their economic
viability varies in accordance with demand and region

3. Fossil fuels
3
Fossil energy sources, including oil, coal and natural gas, are non-
renewable resources that formed when prehistoric plants and animals
died and were gradually buried by layers of rock. Over millions of years,
different types of fossil fuels formed -- depending on what combination
of organic matter was present, how long it was buried and what
temperature and pressure conditions existed as time passed.

4. Fossil fuels
We are using fossil fuels that were made more than
300 million years ago
Fossil fuels contain high percentages
of carbon and include coal, petroleum,
and natural gas.
They are not renewable; they can’t really be made
again
We can save fossil fuels by
Conserving energy
Using alternative energy sources
Disadvantages:
Biggest air polluter
Burning fossil fuel emits CO2

38. Problems of Power Dissipation
38
• Continuously increasing
performance demands
Increasing power dissipation of
technical devices
Today: power dissipation is a main
problem
High Power dissipation leads to:
High efforts for cooling
Increasing operational costs
Reduced reliability
Reduced time of operation
Higher weight (batteries)
Reduced mobility
Department of ECE -Sudar
39. Three factors that can reduce power dissipation are:
Voltage
Physical Capacitance
Switching Activity
Low Power Design Space
39Department of ECE -Sudar
44. Power Dissipation
Power dissipation is a measure of the rate at which energy is
dissipated, or lost, from an electrical system
When an electric current does work on a conductor, the internal
energy of that conductor increases, causing its temperature to
rise above the ambient temperature
This causes energy to dissipate away from the conductor into
the surroundings, through the process of heat transfer
The rate of this heat transfer (joules per second) is termed
'power dissipation' (in watts)
44Department of ECE -Sudar
45. Mechanisms of power dissipation
Mechanisms of power dissipation are usually divided into two
classes:
dynamic and
static power dissipation
Dynamic power dissipation occurs when the circuit is operational
Static power dissipation becomes an issue when the circuit is inactive
or in a power-down mode
45Department of ECE -Sudar
46. Dynamic Power Dissipation
Dynamic power dissipation can be further subdivided into three
mechanisms:
Switched
Short-circuit
Glitch power dissipation
This depends upon the activity, timing, output capacitance, and
supply voltage of the circuit
46Department of ECE -Sudar
47. Switched power dissipation
Repeated charging and discharging of the output
capacitance
Necessary to transmit information in CMOS circuits
47Department of ECE -Sudar
48. Short circuit Power Dissipation
Short circuit current occurs during signal transitions when both
the NMOS and PMOS are ON and there is a direct path
between Vdd and GND- crowbar current
Accounts for more than 20% of total power dissipation
As clock frequency increases- transitions increase consequently
short circuit power dissipation increases
48Department of ECE -Sudar
49. Glitch Power Dissipation
Glitches are temporary changes in the value of the output –
unnecessary transitions
They are caused due to the skew in the input signals to a gate
Glitch power dissipation accounts for 15% – 20 % of the
global power
49Department of ECE -Sudar
50. Static Power Dissipation
Power dissipation -device is in standby mode
As technology scales this becomes significant- Leakage power
dissipation
Reverse biased p-n junction
Sub threshold leakage
Channel punch through
50Department of ECE -Sudar
51. Effects of Power Dissipation
Power dissipation affects:
Performance
Reliability
Packaging
Cost
Portability
51Department of ECE -Sudar
52. Miniaturization
Miniaturization is the trend to manufacture smaller mechanical,
optical and electronic products and devices
Advantages:
- Lower material costs
- Higher production output
- Potentially faster operation
Disadvantages:
- Increased complexity in circuit design (may lead to poorer
performance)
- Increased engineering/R&D costs
- Not serviceable after manufacture
52Department of ECE -Sudar
60. BATTERY POWER MANAGEMENT
Turn off the mobile phone
Stop searching for the signal
Do not follow the method of full charge and
discharge
Avoid putting your mobile phone in vibrating
function
60Department of ECE -Sudar
61. BATTERY POWER MANAGEMENT
Turn off your phones backlight
Avoid using unnecessary features
Turn off Bluetooth
Avoid using animated pictures or videos for
background
Avoid placing the battery under direct sunlight

64. Electronic Waste (e-waste)
are not fit for their original
intended use.
E-wastes contain toxic and
potentially hazardous
Substance.
64Department of ECE -Sudar
68. COMPONENT CONSTITUENT
Printed circuit boards Lead and cadmium
Cathode ray tubes (CRTs) Lead oxide and Cd
Switches & flat screen

69. Inefficient recycling processes result in substantial loss
of material value
Effective recycling processes involve initial investment
Huge gap between generation &
recycling of E-Waste
Lack of producer responsibility for
take back products.
69Department of ECE -Sudar
72. More than 4.6 million tones of e-waste ended up in
landfills .
Toxic chemicals in electronics products can leach into
the land over time and released into the atmosphere.
Regulations have been introduced to prevent
electronic waste being dumped .
72Department of ECE -Sudar
73. This releases heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and
mercury into the air.
Mercury released into the atmosphere can bio
accumulate in the food chain.
If the products contain PVC plastic, highly toxic
dioxins and furans are also released.
73Department of ECE -Sudar
74. A good way to increase a product's lifespan.
Many old products are exported to developing
countries.
The hazardous chemicals in e-waste electronics can
harm workers in
recycling yards
neighboring communities
environment.
