| dc.description.abstract | This project explores the potential of generating electricity from municipal wastes using an innovative approach that combines heating panel and heating sensor technology. The primary objective is to convert waste into a sustainable energy source, thereby addressing waste management issues and contributing to renewable energy solutions. To achieve this, the project utilizes a waste-to-energy system designed with heating panels that incinerate municipal waste heat to produce electricity. Heating sensor technology is integrated to monitor and optimize the process, ensuring efficient energy conversion and safe operation since it acts as the switch. The methodology involves several stages: designing the heating panel system, integrating the heating panel and heating sensor, and conducting experiments to evaluate system performance. Municipal waste samples were processed to measure the amount of electricity generated and to assess the environmental impact of emissions. Data collected and analyzed to optimize the operational parameters for maximum efficiency. The results demonstrate that the system is capable of generating a significant amount of electricity from municipal wastes, with an average energy conversion efficiency of 15%. The integration of sensor technology proved crucial in maintaining optimal conditions, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and safety of the process. Additionally, emission levels were found to be within acceptable environmental standards, indicating that the system is both effective and environmentally friendly. In conclusion, this project successfully demonstrates the feasibility of using municipal wastes as a source of renewable energy through the innovative use of heating panel and sensor technology. The results indicate that such a system can contribute to sustainable waste management and energy production. Future work will focus on scaling up the system and further optimizing its efficiency and emission control capabilities. | en_US |
