Authors:Rudrajit Datta, Saumen Dhara, Rafayal Nathanial, Niloy Naskar Pages: 23 - 28 Abstract: The utilization of sustainable energy sources is expanding globally. Photovoltaic (PV) energy systems have received the most attention during the past ten years out of all the sustainable energy sources. The solar industry adopts a proactive lifespan analysis in order to retain these benefits and prevent further environmental impact. Compared to alternative energy generation technologies, PV technology is clearly more environmentally friendly. Solar cell decommissioning at the end of the human generation life is a problem that could have an impact on the environment. Therefore, recycling solar cells is a workable solution. By comparing solar energy systems to conventional energy sources, there are clear environmental advantages that can help promote human activity's sustainable development. Yet, their extensive use may have unfavorable effects on the ecosystem. These possible issues appear to be a significant roadblock to the continued adoption of these systems by some consumers. To solve these issues, an outline of an environmental impact assessment is presented in this study. Future power systems should consider the potential environmental intrusions in order to decrease them through new technical developments and moral behaviors.

Authors:Suvro Mallik, Himadri Banik, Prasenjit Singha, Dr. Anubrata Mondal Pages: 35 - 40 Abstract: An inefficient power grid can be affected by human mistakes, data loss, and manual circuit and logbook operation, which are all parts of how a power grid works. An IoT-based power grid is introduced to address the issue. Here, we may measure the circuit's current and voltage as well as its active (kW), apparent (kVA), and energy (kWh) powers. We can also use a computer or a mobile device to close or open a circuit. Additionally, at assists in recording the measured data for future reference. IOT has the potential to transform a power grid's overall operational model into a centralised, error-free monitoring system. Better grid control is another benefit of an IOT-based power grid. The transmission lines are crucial for moving power from the power source to the consumer. Since energy is produced in centralised power plants, bidirectional communication is not allowed in the typical electrical grid network. The development of the convectional electric grid system is the smart grid system. Anytime a grid system that transfers power to consumers experiences a malfunction, the power supply may be interrupted. We can use IOT to connect all the loads connected to grid stations with other stations to get around this problem. The IOT uses a variety of sensors to carry out its maintenance and functions. So that we can provide the user with a consistent power supply PubDate: 2023-11-07 Issue No:Vol. 13, No. 1 (2023)

Authors:Alolote Ibim Amadi Pages: 1 - 7 Abstract: The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is coastal in nature and its urban form is governed by natural environmental constraints that have a strong bearing on the available land for physical development and the cost of provision of housing. The study espouses the adoption of a modular off-site prefabricated system of construction to close the enormous gap between demand and supply for housing in this ecologically fragile environment. This prescriptive study is thus carried out against the background of the recurrent flood disasters experienced in most parts of the Niger delta in which several lives and properties have been lost. Typical locations in the Niger Delta such Bayelsa and Rivers States are completely under siege from the prolonged impact of the floods which has swept away homes and other structures previously on ground. There however appears to be a general resistance to the adoption of Modular construction due to general perceptions about the ability of “offsite” construction to be optimally functional in the region. The paper thus empirically analyses and addresses these concerns stemming from perceptions about the risks associated with the adoption of this system in the Niger Delta. It critically portrays the perceived sociocultural, legal, economic, environmental, political, and technological barriers to its adoption using the Malaysian experience as a case for drawing useful analogies and key learning points that can boost housing provision in the region. The study outcome reveals the severity ranking of likely risk factors that may be affecting the present level of acceptability and willingness to adopt off-site construction.Keywords: Disaster Management; Housing; Off-site construction; Resilience; Risks PubDate: 2023-01-07 Issue No:Vol. 12, No. 3 (2023)

Authors:Shatrughna Prasad Yadav, Boinapalli Harshitha Rao, Sai Bhargav Reddy, Banka Abhishek Yadav Pages: 8 - 16 Abstract: It is essential to search for an efficient and innovative solution to protect the environment by reducing the carbon footprint. There is an urgent need to discourage use of ineffective and inefficient traditional power sources. We need to implement an innovative, economically efficient and intelligent smart city lighting system to solve some of the existing social, economic and environmental problem under the smart city project. In the present paper a prototype model has been developed using internet of things (IoT) as smart technology to reduce consumption of electricity that ultimately will reduce the carbon footprint and will also bring automation in switching of the lights in order to reduce human interventions. The main purpose of the project is to reduce the wastage of electricity and to automate street lighting systems. Because the existing models of street lights need manpower to switch on and off, street lights are turned on before the darkness and turned off around the middle of the day or late morning. Implementation of this project will reduce electricity consumption, which is a major issue currently all over the world as natural resources are getting exhausted and as we are in search for alternatives to natural resources.

Authors:OLUWADARE JOSHUA OYEBODE Pages: 17 - 27 Abstract: There are so many challenges in Nigeria that require the input of digital technology and communication information technology (ICT). This paper x-rays the deployment of communication and digital technology for the eradication of insecurity and environmental issues such as cybercrime, kidnapping, flooding, water pollution, climate change, poor waste management and oil spillage. The methodology adopted includes secondary data from literature and expert opinions. Challenges identified include insecurity issues; Crime and insurgence attacks are prevalent in Nigeria. Effective means to protect national security will require several steps which could include engaging diplomatic efforts, and the use of military, intelligence, and counterintelligence services. To maximize resources, government entities may want to consider harmonizing and integrating their Identity databases. For the development of the workforce, it is crucial to employ ICT-skilled personnel for the various arms of security agencies. It was concluded that the deployment of communication and digital technology is very essential for the handling of insecurity in Nigeria. Communication and digital technology can be deployed through the development of marching learning models, virtual simulation, media literacy, data integrity, and safety, excellent service delivery in the health sector, and infrastructures and components that enable modern computing. Recommendations include continuous professional development, adequate networking among engineering families, and reliable power and internet facilities.
