    introduction

     Micro Power Generators are mostly used for Small scale generation of heat
    and power for Small scale industrial and domestic purpose
     They Play prefrred over the conventional generators because of their low or
    zero carbon foot-prints
     They Play a major role in energy harvesting as the Can generate energy
    from the ambient environment
     micro power generators operate on the principle of micro Electron-
    Mechanical Systems(MEMS)
    Setup for Micro Power Generation

    The Power Plant:Along with electricity production plant, energy storage &power
    conversion apparatus as well as a hook up to regular electricity grid is needed.
    Extra Equipments Required :-
    (i)Energy Storage Apparatus:-
    *Batteries for energy storage
    *Charge Controller
    *Inverter
    (ii) Safety Equipment:-
    *Groungings ,Transfer Switches & Surge Protectors
    *Battery Meters
    Types of Micro Power Generator
     Motion driven Micro Generators are categrized into:-
     Direct force Application Geneartor
     Inertial Generator
     Inertial Geneartors are futher classified into :-
     Electromagnetic Generators
     Piezoelectric Generators
     Electrostatic Generator
    Micro Power Generator v/s Large
    Scale Generator

    Micro Power Generator Large Sale Generator


     Waste by products can be used for  Byproducts mostly are not
    heating purpose reusuable
     Transmission losses are less  A major part of power is lost
     The need for Grid Upgrades is  Increases the need for Grid
    reduced upgrades
     Supply is continuous durinng Grid  Supply not avaible during Grid
    failure failure
     Self –sufficient.So very reli able  Reliability vaies with Grid location
     Focused on greenness of energy  Focused on energy crisis
     Necessitators mass production of  More economical
    generators .So less Economical
    Principle of Operation

    The generator operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, also known as Faraday’s
    law.
    It states that when a magnet & a coil are relatively close, any time changing magnetic flux results
    in a current flow in the coil.
    As the bar magnet is moved in & out of
    the coil ,the galvanometer registers current
    Flow and the associated voltage is given as

    E is the electromotive force


    ΦB is the magnetic flux
    N is the no. of turns
    Advantages

     Waste by-product can be used for heating process as microCHP.


     Proximity to end user results in fewer transmission losses.
     Reduces the need of Grid upgrade.
     Photovoltaic & Stirling engines make the system very reliable.
     It is eco friendly.
     It meets the needs of wind, solar and fuel based energy systems.
    Disadvantages
     The theoretical values associated with efficiency, output voltage etc are different from
    experimental values.
     The output of individual unit is small. So in order to increase efficiency low friction is
    required .
     The type of materials used for construction are not suitable for fabrication methods and
    annealing.
     Some of the ambient energy harvesting techniques do not provide continuous energy
    supplies.
     Many Countries have policies that are hostile towards Micro Power Generation.
    Conclusion

     Micro Power Generators would result in very high energy harvesting and would
    serve as a good replacement for thermal, solar and nuclear power plants to
    serve small unit of consumers.
     So Micro Power Generators are surely one of the technological aspects leading
    towards a greener and better tomorrow
