ABSTRACT
The energy crisis and environmental degradation are currently two vital issues
for global sustainable development. Rapid industrialization and population explosion
in India has led to the migration of people from villages to cities, which generate
thousands tons of municipal solid waste daily, Improper management of municipal
solid waste (MSW) causes hazards to inhabitants. Electricity is decreasing day by day
and it is very important to find out alternative sources which can be used as the fuel
production of electricity especially for developing countries like India. Renewable
resources of energy are a field that is growing recently. The world is running out of
non-renewable energy resources. The existing method of generation of electricity is by
using fossil fuel which is limited in nature. Our aim is to use the municipal waste as a
fuel which is renewable in nature.by burning the municipal solid waste the electricity
is produced by steam principal, which can be use for domestic purpose.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Electricity is produced by nuclear, fossil fuel, gas and hydroelectric generating
stations and at wind generation or other industrial facilities throughout the Province of
Ontario.
1.1 Generation of Electricity
Understanding the generation of electricity starts with understanding the makeup
of the universe’s building block the atom. Everything is made up of atoms. Atoms,
themselves, are made up of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are
found in the nucleus or center of the atom. Electrons spin around the nucleus, held in
place by an electrical force. Protons have a positive electrical charge and electrons
have a negative electrical charge. As opposite forces attract (as seen with magnets),
the electrical force of the protons hold the electrons in their orbit.
Electricity and magnetism go hand in hand. Magnets can create electricity and
electricity can produce magnetic fields. This relationship is called electromagnetism.
The electromagnetic force of a magnet will cause electrons to leave their orbits.
Electrons that are pushed from their orbits by a magnetic force flow along
transmission lines as electricity. This energy is used every day in homes and
businesses. Copper is an element that has 29 electrons held in loose orbit around 29
protons and 34 neutrons. Copper is a common element found in power plants as the
element’s electrons are easily pushed from their orbits by magnets to produce
electricity.
1.2 Generation of power by municipal waste
Indian municipalities (including Bangalore) have expanded rapidly in terms of
population and economic growth. But in India it is evident that there is a lack of a
robust municipal solid waste (MSW) management system to handle, monitor,
coordinate, finance, plan and control the entire waste flow chain from generation,
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 2
collection, transportation, disposal, treatment and re-use. Informal sectors whose
activities are not coherent and as a result, waste is not appropriately managed and
leads to environmental pollution.
In Karnataka over 50% of the municipal solid waste is generated in six municipal
corporations. Bangalore city generates close to 4000 MTPD of solid waste, which is
10 times higher than its next municipal corporation in the state (like Mysuru, and
Hubballi Dharwad). The per capita waste generation in Bangalore city is 0.4 kilograms
per capita per day. Most of the municipal waste is generated in residential and market
areas.
Electricity is decreasing day by day and it is very important to find out
alternative sources which can be used as the fuel production of electricity especially
for developing countries like India. One of the method to produce electricity is by
using municipal solid waste. Municipal waste can be used to generation electricity as
well as an alternative method of waste disposal no new fuels source are required other
than waste. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is consider as renewable source because of
some of the content is food and paper. Several MSW to electrical technology have
been developed which make the electricity generation processing of MSW of more
environmental friendly and more economical from before. There are two commonly
MSW-to-electricity technology, which refers to mass burn and pyrolysis.
Mass burn is the combustion of unprocessed or minimally processed refuse after
shredding MSW and removal of the non- combustible materials, bulky items and
metal from refuse. The heat generated by burning MSW produces high temperature
combustion can be converted to high temperature steam, which turns the steam turbine
to generate electricity.
The energy crisis and environmental degradation are currently two vital issues
for global sustainable development, rapid industrialization and population explosion in
world has lead to migration of people from villages to cities, to generate thousand
tones of municipal waste daily which is one of the important contributors for
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 3
environmental degradation with national level improper management of municipal
solid waste causes hazardous to inhabitants. The management of MSW requires proper
infrastructures, maintenance and upgrade for all activities, in this regards waste to
energy provides a solution towards complying with government regulations, and
achieving integrated solid waste management.
Waste to energy facilities are not much different than other power plants. They
have generators that produce electricity. They just use garbage as the fuel. The heat
produced from burning garbage turns water into steam. The force of the steam is
directed at the rotors or blades of a turbine and cause it to spin. (The rotors of a turbine
are similar to the segments of a pinwheel. Blowing on a pinwheel causes it to turn just
as the pressure of steam directed on the rotors of a turbine cause the turbine to turn.)
The turbine spins a shaft. At the end of that shaft is a magnet surrounded by copper
wires. Electricity is generated from this movement.
The walls of the boilers are made of hollow steel tubes filled with water. High
temperatures heat the water and form high pressure steam. This is channeled into the
turbine. The shaft of the turbine is coupled to generator which in turns generate
electricity which is used for different purposes.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE SURVEY
Switchenbank j, Nasserzadeh V and Goh R [1] has discussed the major problems the
modern society is facing includes the provision of energy with the minimum
generation of pollution, and environmentally friendly disposal of waste. Many modern
electrical power generation system use gas or oil fuel in the gas turbine, followed by
steam boiler heated by gas turbine exhaust, to yield electricity generation by both gas
turbine and the steam turbine. The efficiency of such a system can approach 60%
however in this case the premium fuel is required.
B. Stanisaa et.al [2] has discussed about the erosion caused by wet steam flow reduces
the efficiency of the last stage rotor blades of condensing steam turbines, and makes
their service life shorter. To date there has been insufficient data on the erosion
process which the steam turbine rotor blades are subject to during the operation, data
which could be a basis for development and verification of mathematical models to
estimate the service life of eroded rotor blades. This paper reviews the results of many
years monitoring and researching of the laws of the erosion process and its mechanism
for rotor blades of condensing steam turbines. On the basis of the obtained laws of the
rotor blades erosion process and a simplified model their service life is estimated.
Christoph-Hermann Richter et.al [3] said that to provide an overview of the structural
design of modern steam turbine blades at Siemens power generation using the finite
element method. The different types of blades are described in detail regarding their
geometry and loading. The modular building block approach of modelling is shown to
be of essential importance. For the different analyses a fatigue post-processor has been
implemented as well as an optimization tool. Both of these in-house codes will be
briefly presented.
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 5
Zachary Stuck et.al [4] addresses steam turbine efficiency by discussing the overall
design of steam turbine blades with a specific focus on blade aerodynamics, materials
used in the production of steam turbine blades, and the factors that cause turbine blade
failure and therefore the failure of the turbine itself. This paper enumerates and
describes the currently available technologies that enhance the overall efficiency of the
generator and prevent turbine failure due to blade erosion and blade cracking. In
particular, this paper evaluates the effectiveness of certain titanium alloys and steels in
resisting creep and fracture in turbine blades. The effectiveness of chemical and
thermal coatings in protecting the blade substrate from corrosion when exposed to wet
steam will also be addressed. The stresses developed in the blade as a result of steam
pressure, steam temperature, and the centrifugal forces due to rotational movement are
delineated; current designs calculated to counter the fatigue caused by these stresses
are presented. The aerodynamic designs of both impulse and reaction turbine blades
are compared and contrasted, and the effect that these designs have on turbine
efficiency are discussed. Based on the research presented herein, this paper presents a
detailed summary of what modifications to existing steam turbine generator blades can
be made to increase turbine efficiency. Finally, the overall sustainability of steam
turbine generators is discussed and the impact that the design of the blades has on the
sustainability of these generators is presented
Abdulhakim amer A.Agll, Yousif M.Hamad John w.sheffield [5] has discussed the
design of Rankine steam cycle for the generation of both power (PG) and combined
heat power (CHP). The CHP designed system has the greatest potential to maximize
energy saving, due to the optimal combination of heat production and electricity
generation. The CHP plant provides the energy necessary to desalinate all the water
usage in that year or electricity to power the city. Energy savings analysis was
conducted to evaluate the effect of the CHP system on energy consumption. The
incineration plant gave an opportunity to save fossil fuel usage, raise the energy
provided, and GHG emissions mitigation.

Boilers are pressure vessels designed to heat water or produce steam, which can
then be used to provide space heating and/or service water heating to a building. In
most commercial building heating applications, the heating source in the boiler is a
natural gas fired burner. Oil fired burners and electric resistance heaters can be used as
well. Steam is preferred over hot water in some applications, including absorption

cooling, kitchens, laundries, sterilizers, and steam driven equipment.in this municipal
solid waste is used for burning as the fuel.
4.2.2 Turbine
A steam turbine is a device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam
and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern manifestation
was invented by sir Charles parsons in 1884.
Because the turbine generates rotary motion, it is particularly suited to be used
to drive an electrical generator. The steam energy is converted mechanical work by
expansion through the turbine. The expansion takes place through a series of fixed
blades (nozzles) and moving blades each row of fixed blades and moving blades is
called a stage. The moving blades rotate on the central turbine rotor and the fixed
blades are concentrically arranged within the circular turbine casing which is
substantially designed to withstand the steam pressure.
4.2.3 Gear arrangement
Gear arrangement is used to transfer mechanical power from the turbine shaft to
rotor. Gears are meant to increase the rotor speed with a known gear ratio.
4.2.4 Axial flux generator
The magnetic field is manipulated to the advantage, when making permanent
magnet alternators.by concentrating the magnetic flux between two opposite magnet
poles, and capturing the flux in the iron plates that would otherwise be wasted, direct
as much energy can through the gap between the faces.
Construction consists coils of wire held steady, while the magnets spin past on
each time a magnet goes by. Each coil sees a flipped magnetic field, and pulse of
electricity is produced. When the field flips back, a pulse of opposite voltage is
created. This coil is now producing alternating voltage. Here is a set of 8 coils that
were wound for the permanent magnet alternator. They are all the same size, and have
the same number of turns each. Wire comes in a variety of size. The diameter (or
“gauge”) of the wire determines the maximum amount of current it can carry. Heavier
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 10
wire can carry more current than thinner wire. The builder selects a wire size that
allows the current required for his design, but no bigger.
4.2.4.1 Down rod
The down rod is a component which gives support to the rotor and supply lines
are passed through it. In the present model the stator is fixed on the down rod.
4.2.4.2 Coils
The coils are placed on the stator disc. Coils are made with optimal number of
turns with certain thickness (gauge).
4.2.4.3 Magnets
The magnet used here are permanent type i.e neodymium iron clad with higher
amount of magnetic field density.
4.2.4.4 Rotor
The magnets are placed on fibber/plastic plate called as the rotor.
4.2.4.5 Description of setup
Setup consists of rotor on which magnets are being placed directly or on a disc
which rotates when the rotor starts rotating, and a shaft which is stationary on which
the windings are placed with the help of disc. The distance between the magnets and
the windings maintained is optimal.( say 3mm)

CHAPTER 5
BOILER
Boilers are pressure vessels designed to heat water or produce steam, which can
then be used to provide space heating and/or service water heating to a building. In
most commercial building heating applications, the heating source in the boiler is a
natural gas fired burner. Oil fired burners and electric resistance heaters can be used as
well. Steam is preferred over hot water in some applications, including absorption
cooling, kitchens, laundries, sterilizers, and steam driven equipment.
Boilers have several strengths that have made them a common feature of
buildings. They have a long life, can achieve efficiencies up to 95% or greater, provide
an effective method of heating a building, and in the case of steam systems, require
little or no pumping energy. However, fuel costs can be considerable, regular
maintenance is required, and if maintenance is delayed, repair can be costly.
Guidance for the construction, operation, and maintenance of boilers is provided
primarily by the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), which produces
the following resources:
Rules for construction of heating boilers, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section
IV-2007
Recommended rules for the care and operation of heating boilers, Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, Section VII-2007
Boilers are often one of the largest energy users in a building. For every year a boiler
system goes unattended, boiler costs can increase approximately 10% (1). Boiler
operation and maintenance is therefore a good place to start when looking for ways to
reduce energy use and save money.

5.1 How Boilers Work
Both gas and oil fired boilers use controlled combustion of the fuel to heat
water. The key boiler components involved in this process are the burner, combustion
chamber, heat exchanger, and controls. The burner mixes the fuel and oxygen together
and, with the assistance of an ignition device, provides a platform for combustion.
This combustion takes place in the combustion chamber, and the heat that it generates
is transferred to the water through the heat exchanger. Controls regulate the ignition,
burner firing rate, fuel supply, air supply, exhaust draft, water temperature, steam
pressure, and boiler pressure.
Figure 5.1 Boiler view
Hot water produced by a boiler is pumped through pipes and delivered to
equipment throughout the building, which can include hot water coils in air handling
units, service hot water heating equipment, and terminal units. Steam boilers produce
steam that flows through pipes from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure,
unaided by an external energy source such as a pump. Steam utilized for heating can
be directly utilized by steam using equipment or can provide heat through a heat
exchanger that supplies hot water to the equipment.

5.2 BOILER DESIGN
Figure 5.2 Designed boiler
The material used for the boiler design is hard GI steel. The thickness of the
steel material used is 8 mm so that it can withstand the high pressure produced in the
boiler. The length of boiler is 3 feet and the breadth of boiler is 1 feet. The boiler has
one inlet and one outlet in the inlet the water is filled in the boiler and from the outlet
the steam is removed and passed to the turbine and to check the pressure the pressure
meter is fixed on the outlet pipe. The nozzle of the boiler is such design that it will
produce high pressure
The angel of the nozzle is 8 degree and the angel between nozzle and turbine is
90 degree because more pressure is produced at that angel. The figure of the design
boiler as shown is the figure 5.2

CHAPTER 6
TURBINE DESIGN
A steam turbine is a mechanical device that converts thermal energy in
pressurized steam into useful mechanical work. The steam turbine derives much of its
better thermodynamic efficiency because of the use of multiple stages in the expansion
of the steam. This results in a 32closer approach to the ideal reversible process. Steam
turbines are made in a variety of sizes ranging from small 0.75 kW units used as
mechanical drives for pumps, compressors and other shaft driven equipment, to 150
MW turbines used to generate electricity. Steam turbines are widely used for marine
applications for vessel propulsion systems. In recent times gas turbines, as developed
for aerospace applications, are being used more and more in the field of power
generation once dominated by steam turbines.
Principal
The steam energy is converted mechanical work by expansion through the
turbine. The expansion takes place through a series of fixed blades (nozzles) and
moving blades each row of fixed blades and moving blades is called a stage. The
moving blades rotate on the central turbine rotor and the fixed blades are
concentrically arranged within the circular turbine casing which is substantially
designed to withstand the steam pressure
6.1 CLASSIFICATION OF STEAM TURBINES
Steam turbines may be classified into different categories depending on their
construction, the process by which heat drop is achieved, the initial and final
conditions of steam used and their industrial usage as follows:
A. According to the Number of pressure stages:
Single – stage turbines with one or more velocity stages usually of small power
capacities, mostly used for driving centrifugal compressors, blowers and other similar
machinery. Multistage impulse and Reaction turbines, made in a wide range of power
capacities varying from small to large.
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 15
B. According to the direction of steam flow:
Axial turbines, in which the steam flows in a direction parallel to the axis of the
turbine. Radial turbines, in which the steam flows in a direction perpendicular to the
axis of the turbine. One or more low pressure stages in such turbines are made axial.
C. According to the Number of cylinders:
Single cylinder turbines Multi cylinder (2, 3 and 4 cylinders) turbines, which
can have single shaft, i.e. rotors mounted of the same shaft, or multiaxial, having
separate rotor shaft and have their cylinders placed parallel to each other.
D. According to the method of governing:
Turbines with nozzle governing. Turbines with bypass governing in which
steam besides being fed to the first stage is also directly led to one, two or even three
intermediate stages of the turbine.
E. According to the Principle of Action of Steam:
Impulse turbines.
Axial Reaction turbines.
Radial reaction turbines without any stationary guide blades.
Radial reaction turbines having stationary guide blades.
F. According to the Heat Drop Process:
Condensing turbines with exhaust steam let into condenser with Regenerators,
Condensing turbines with one or two intermediate stage extractions at specific
pressures for industrial and heating purposes. Back pressure turbines, the exhaust
steam from which is utilized for industrial and heating purposes.
Back – pressure turbines with steam extraction from intermediate stages at specific
pressures.
Low – pressure (Exhaust pressure) turbines in which the exhaust steam from
reciprocating steam engines, power hammers, presses, etc is utilized for power
generation.
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 16
Mixed – pressure with two or three pressure extractions with supply of exhaust steam
to its intermediate stages.
G. According to the Steam Conditions at inlet:
Low – pressure turbines using at pressures 1.2 to 2 ata.
Medium – pressure turbines using steam at pressure up to 4.0 ata.
High – pressure turbines using steam at above40 ata.
Very high pressure turbines using steam up to 40 ata and higher pressure and
temperature.
H. According to their Usage in industry:
Stationary turbines with constant speed of rotation primarily used for driving
alternators.
Stationary turbines with variable speeds meant for driving turbo blowers, air
circulators, pumps etc.
Non stationary turbines with variable speeds employed in steamers, ships, railway
(turbo) locomotives etc.
6.2 STEPS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN OF STEAM TURBINES
1. Perform thermodynamic and axial thrust calculations to decide diameters and axial
length of blading.
2. Perform rotor dynamic calculation and suggest any change of lengths and diameters
to repeat step one.
3. Select suitable turbine extensions and diameters to meet above blading geometry.
4. Select suitable materials to meet steam parameters.
5. Select suitable governing system and protection system.
6. Prepare ordering / manufacturing documents incorporating above selections.

6.3 TURBINE BLADES
Blades are the heart of a turbine, as they are the principal elements that convert
the energy of working fluid into kinetic energy. The efficiency and reliability of a
turbine depend on the proper design of the blades. It is therefore necessary for all
engineers involved in the turbines engineering to have an overview of the importance
and the basic design aspects of the steam turbine blades, Blade design is a multi-
disciplinary task. It involves the thermodynamic, aerodynamic, mechanical and
material science disciplines. A total development of a new blade is therefore possible
only when experts of all these fields come together as a team. The number of turbine
stages can have a great effect on how the turbine blades are designed for each stage.
The number of stages depends upon the load we have and the quantity of power we
required. Too many stages may also develop bending moment and high torque which
in turn the reason of failure of the entire unit of the plant.

6.4 Turbine design
Figure 6.4.1 Turbine
The material used for the turbine design is GI steel the thickness of the steel is
1mm. four turbine blades are made because the pressure of the boiler is high to
withstand the high pressure of the boiler. The size of the turbine height 21.5cm and the
blades of the turbine are bent at an angle of 30 degree. The angel between nozzle and
turbine is 90 degree because when the pressure from the nozzle falls on the blades of
the turbine the turbine should rotate at its maximum speed so that more voltage is
produced.

CHAPTER 7
MECHANICAL ARRANGEMENT
7.1 Tapered bearing
The bearing is used is 8mm ID. Tapered bearing are used for the turbine to
rotate smoothly. The force of the steam is in one direction so tapered bearing is used.
The tapered bearing are based on the observation that cones that meet at a point can
roll over each other without slipping. Four number of bearing are used two for the
turbine rotation shaft and other two for the generator rotation shaft.
Figure 7.1.1 Bearing
7.2 Shaft modification
The turbine has a shaft of 9mm with the length of 1feet which is connected to
the gear system, the bearings are fixed to the shaft. The other end of the shaft is also
9mm which is connected to the rotor and the stator. The size of the shaft is 1 feet
downwards.
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 20
7.3 Gear arrangement
The steam produced by the boiler is less hence the cast iron material were not
appropriate to be used due to heavy weight which in turn would affect the rotation of
the turbine and the weight of the setup would also be increased. So we came upon with
the lighter material plastic.With the gear ratio of 54 teeth of 3mm deep on the 6cm
diameter. And the smaller gear is made up of 24 teeth. Giving the gear ratio of 1:3.

CHAPTER 8
GENERATOR
Faraday’s Law; when you see that rotation of the coil continually changes the
magnetic flux through the coil and therefore generates a voltage. Generators, motors,
transformers, and solenoids each use the principle of electromagnetism. This is the
ability to create electrical current in a conductor by moving a magnetic field past the
conductor. The reverse is also true: a magnetic field is produced in a conductor by
passing electrical current through the conductor. In general, the requirements for
electromagnetism are a magnetic field, a conductor, and relative movement between
them.
A permanent magnet has a magnetic field around it. The field is lines of
magnetism (flux) that bend around the metal magnet. The strongest part of the
magnetic field is the region where the lines are closest together. On a permanent
magnet, there are two such regions, one at each end of the magnet. These are called
the north and south poles of the magnet. (The earth is a magnet, with the strongest part
of the magnetic field at the North and South Poles Magnetic of the earth.)
A simple generator has two basic parts – field and winding. The field is the magnetic
field and the winding is the conductor formed into a coil.
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 22
The field is connected to a shaft that may be turned. These are two elements
necessary for electromagnetism. When the turning field is placed near the winding, all
of the elements are present for electromagnetism. (In fact, the field could be fixed and
the windings turned to produce the same effect in a generator. However, this
arrangement is normally used for small generators, where the current produced in the
winding is small.)
As the field turns past the fixed winding, the amount of current produced in the
winding depends upon the strength of the magnetic field moving past the winding. As
the North Pole of the field moves past the winding, a large current flows through the
winding.
As the field continues to turn and the North Pole starts to move away from the
winding, the current decreases as the strength of the field “cutting” the winding
decreases. When neither pole is nearest the winding, the current through the winding is
zero.

Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 23
As the field continues to turn, the South Pole moves toward the winding as the
North Pole moves away. Current starts to flow in the winding, but in the opposite
direction, because of the opposite pole moving closer to the winding. When the South
Pole is opposite the winding, the current is again strong, but in the opposite direction.
As the South Pole moves away, the current in the winding decreases, returning
to zero again when neither pole is close to the winding. While this simple generator
produces AC (alternating current), the current produced is not very large since the
strength of the magnetic field is not very large. The principle of electromagnetism may
be used to produce a magnetic field of much greater strength. If a conductor is wound
around a piece of metal, such as iron or steel, and current is passed through that
conductor, a magnetic field is produced around this assembly. It is called an
electromagnet.
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 24
The strength of the magnetic field produced is determined by the amount of
current passing through the conductor. When a stronger magnetic field passes a
winding, more current is produced in the winding. In a generator, the amount of
current produced in the winding can thus be controlled by controlling the amount of
current passing through the conductor causing the magnetic field.
The three-phase generator is basically three separate generators in one casing. It has
three completely separate windings in which current is produced, but a single rotating
magnetic field. Within the generator, there is no electrical connection between the
windings. The rotating magnetic field is the rotor and the windings in which current is
produced are in the fixed stator.
AC Generators
8.1 Basic Generator A basic generator consists of a magnetic field, an armature, slip
rings, brushes and a resistive load. The magnetic field is usually an electromagnet. An
armature is any number of conductive wires wound in loops which rotates through the
magnetic field. For simplicity, one loop is shown. When a conductor is moved through
a magnetic field, a voltage is induced in the conductor. As the armature rotates
through the magnetic field, a voltage is generated in the armature which causes current
to flow. Slip rings are attached to the armature and rotate with it. Carbon brushes ride
against the slip rings to conduct current from the armature to a resistive load.
Basic Generator Operation An armature rotates through the magnetic field. At an
initial position of zero degrees, the armature conductors are moving parallel to the
magnetic field and not cutting through any magnetic lines of flux. No voltage is
induced.
Generator Operation from The armature rotates from zero to 90 degrees. The
conductors
Zero to 90 Degrees cut through more and more lines of flux, building up to a
maximum induced voltage in the positive direction.

Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 25
Generator Operation from The armature continues to rotate from 90 to 180 degrees,
90 to 180 Degrees cutting less lines of flux. The induced voltage decreases from a
Maximum positive value to zero.
Generator Operation from The armature continues to rotate from 180 degrees to
270 degrees. The conductors cut more and more lines of flux, but in the opposite
direction. Voltage is induced in the negative direction building up to a maximum at
270 degrees.
Figure 8.1.1 Generator operation
Generator Operation from The armature continues to rotate from 270 to 360
degrees.
270 to 360 Degrees Induced voltage decreases from a maximum negative value to
zero. This completes one cycle. The armature will continue to rotate at a constant
speed. The cycle will continuously repeat as long as the armature rotates.

8.2 THE VARIOUS TERMS ON WHICH INDUCED EMF DEPENDS
The induced E.M.F will be depending on the many parameters which are
explained as follows
e = -Nd ɸ /dt ............... (8.2.1)
Were ɸ= BA
ɸ= Magnetic flux (weber)
N= Numbers of turns (number)
B=Magnetic flux density (tesla)
A= Area (m2)
8.3 GENERATOR DESIGN
Calculation
Number of Coils Design:
In the forums there is a common question, asking how many turns does my
coil need to produce amount of output. That depends on your design, how close your
coils are to the magnets, how strong your magnets are, what size of wire you are using,
and how fast your coils are cutting the magnetic flux. A question is not easily
answered you really have to experiment to find what works best for you (the way
Thomas Silva Edison did it). The higher the RPM’s of your alternator less the number
of turns needed thereby allowing a heavier gauge of wire that can be used giving
higher amperage output or we can do it the way tesla would do it and was with
mathematics the formula for output is below
V= -N*change in ((tesla* area metre squared)/ seconds)
This gives number of turns
N=-1*(-V/change in ((tesla*area metre squared)/seconds))
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 27
For V=10V lets figure 5 turns per second, that gives us 150RPM. If we do a good
blade design we might be able to get 150rpm by the steam turbine.
5 turns/second gives us 1 turn every 0.5s.
Seconds=0.5
This gives us formula
N=-1*(-10/((1.35*(2*Π*20*E-3)(20*E-3+4*E-3)/0.5))
N=1228
The wire used for the making of the coil is copper gauge wire of 34swg and
made 8 coils of 1228 turns as per the calculation shown above. The magnets used are
neodymium magnets because it has more conductivity compare to other magnets. The
diameter of magnet is 20mm and Thickness of the magnet is 4.5mm. the magnetic flux
density is of the magnet is 1.35 tesla. The figure is as shown below.

8.4 COIL DESIGN CONSIDERATION
It’s faradays law that you need to employ while trying to determine how big the
coil needs to be for certain voltage from your alternator or your generator. It has being
found a common question, how big does my coil need to be. Faraday’s law will
answer the question but you will soon find that getting the data needed for Faraday to
answer your question will be very difficult because getting exact numbers will be next
to impossible.

CHAPTER 9
MAGNETS
Magnets are objects that generates a magnetic field, a force-field that either
pulls or repels certain materials, such as nickel and iron. Of course, not all magnets are
composed of the same elements and thus can be broken down into categories based on
their composition and source of magnetism. Permanent magnets are the magnets retain
their magnetism once magnetized. Temporary magnets are materials magnets that
performs like permanent magnet when in presence of magnetic field, but lose
magnetism when not in magnetic field. Electromagnets are wound on the coil of wire
that function a magnet when an electrical current is passed through. By adjusting the
strength and direction of the current, the strength of the magnet is also altered.
9.1 Permanent Magnet
There are typically four categories of permanent magnet: neodymium iron
boron (NdFeB), Samarium cobalt (SmCo), alnico, ceramic.
9.2 Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB)
A neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB , NIB or Neo magnet), the most
widely used type of rare-earth magnet, is a permanent magnet made from alloy of
neodymium ,iron and boron to form the Nd2Fe14B tetragonal crystalline structure.
Developed in1982 by General motor and Sumitomo Special Metals, Neodymium
magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnet commercially available. They
have replaced other types of magnet in the many application in modern products that
requires strong permanent magnet.
9.3 Grades
Neodymium magnets are graded according to their maximum energy product, which
relates to the magnetic output per unit volume .Higher values indicates stronger
magnets and range from N35 to N52.
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE

Grades of Neodymium magnets are
N35-N52
33M-48M
30H-45H
30SH-42SH
3UH-35UH
28EH-35EH
9.4 Magnetic properties
Some important properties used to compare permanent magnets are : remanence
(Br)which measure the strength of the magnetic field ;coercively(Hci),the material’s
resistance to becoming demagnetized; energy product (BHmax), the density of
magnetic energy; and curie temperature(Tc),the temperature at which the material
loses its magnetism;
Neodymium magnets have higher remanence, much higher coercively and energy
product but often lower Curie temperature than other types. Neodymium is alloyed
with terbium and dysprosium in order to preserve its magnetic properties at high
temperatures.
9.5 Applications
Neodymium magnets have replaced alnico and ferrite magnets in many of the
myriad applications in modern technology where strong permanent magnets are
required, because their greater strength allows the use of smaller, lighter magnets for
given application. Some examples are.
1. Head actuators for computer hard disks
2. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
3. Magnetic guitar pickups
4. Mechanical e-cigarette firing switches
5. Loudspeakers and headphones

neodymium.
16. Actuators
17. Electric generators for the wind turbine (only those with permanent magnet
excitation)
18. Direct drive wind turbines require c. 600 kg of PM material per megawatt.
19. Neodymium content is estimated to be 31% of the magnet weight.

CHAPTER 10
COPPER
Copper is a chemical element with a symbol Cu and atomic no 29.It is a ductile
metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Pure copper is soft and
malleable; a freshly exposed surface has a reddish-orange colour. It is used as a
conductor of heat and electricity, a building material and constitute of various metal
alloys. Its compound are commonly encountered as copper salts, which often impart
blue or green colour to minerals such as azurite and turquoise.
Copper is an excellent electric conductor. Most of its uses are based on this
property or the fact that it is also a good thermal conductor. However, many of its
application rely on or more of its other properties. For example, it wouldn’t make very
good water and gas pipes if it were highly reactive.
10.1 Properties of copper
1. Thermal conductivity: the thermal conductivity of the copper, 394W/mK, is about
twice that of aluminium and thirty times that of stainless steel. This means that copper
is used for components where rapid heat is transfer is essential. Example include
saucepan bottoms, heat exchangers, car and vehicle radiators and heat sinks in
computers, disk drives and TV sets.
2. Corrosion resistance: copper is non-reactive and does not rust or become brittle in
sunlight.
3. Easy of joining: by brazing or soldering. The latest technology called Cupro braze is
used to fabricate strong and reliable brazed copper/brass heat exchangers for cooling
in vehicles which includes cars trucks locomotive, tractors and JCBs
4. High ductility: tubes are easily bent even when hard.
5. Toughness: does not become brittle at sub-zero temperatures.
6. Heat resistance: withstand fire well, melting point in 1083°C.

Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 33
7. Antimicrobial: copper is a naturally hygienic metal which slows down the growth of
harmful germs such as E.Cli, MRSA and legionella. Coppers ease of shaping,
corrosion resistance and antimicrobial properties make it ideal for brewing vessels.
8. Ranging of colors and malleability: widely used by designers and architects for
exterior and interior applications.
9. Recyclability: copper is 100% recyclable without loss of properties. The price of
scrape copper is high.
10.2 Application
1. Wire and cables
2. Electronics and related electric motors and devices
3. Architecture
10.3 Design considerations
Its faradays law that you need to employ when trying to determine how big your
coil needs to be for certain voltage from your alternator/generator.
It has found a common question, how big does my coil need to be. Faradays law
will answer that question, but you will soon find that getting the data needed for
faradays to answer your question will be very difficult because getting exact numbers
will be next to impossible. At most I’ve found is that you can get ball park figure. The
biggest part of inventing is trial and error. But a ball park figure will cut that down a
bit.
10.4 Formula for the output of the coil
In the forums there is a common question, asking how many turns does my coil
need to be produce x amount of output. That depends on your design, how close your
coils are to the magnets, how strong your magnets are, what size of wire you’re using,
and how fast your coils are cutting the magnetic flux. A question was not easily
answered. You really have to experiment to find what works best for you (the way
Thomas Alva Edison did it). I can tell you this; the higher the RPM’s of your
ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY USING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engg. AITM Belagavi Page 34
alternator the less the less number of turns needed there by allowing a heaver gage of
wire that can be used giving higher amperage output.
Type of magnet used is permanent magnets (NdFeB). This type of magnet is
composed of rare earth magnetic material, and has a high coercive force. They have an
extremely high energy product range, up to 50MGOe. Because of this high product
energy level, they can usually be manufactured to be small and compact in size.
However, NdFeB magnets have low mechanical strength, tend to be brittle, and low
corrosion resistance if left uncoated. If treated with gold, iron or nickel plating, they
can be used in many applications. They are very strong magnets and are difficult to
demagnetize.

CHAPTER 14
CONCLUSION
Waste to energy solves the problem of municipal solid waste disposal while
recovering the energy from waste material with the benefits of environmental quality,
increasingly accepted as a clean source of energy. The municipal solid waste is used as
fuel for the production of electricity. The municipal solid waste should be considered
as alternate source of energy and every municipal corporation should use this
technology to reduced pollution, preserve coal, and reduce production of greenhouse
gases protection the ozone layer. By using municipal solid waste as fuel the pollution
will be reduced and we will get the power which can be used in the poor village were
electricity is less. Despite of its high initial cost we are successful to generate a voltage
upto 28 to 30 volts at 40 pascal of pressure. In future the liquid waste can also be used
for the power generation. By some modifications in the model the plastic waste can
also be used for burning, and the output voltage can be increased.
