Conventional techniques include drawbacks such noise interference, temporal localization, and dependence on small datasets, which might result in errors. Through the use of data-driven methodologies, machine learning (ML) provides a promising way to improve the scalability, efficiency, and accuracy of PD detection. Machine learning models (ML) facilitate real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and early defect identification by automatically deriving complicated patterns from high-dimensional data. This reduces downtime and averts catastrophic failures.

The proposed method involves employing Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) to convert waste heat from coal power plant smoke into energy. According to calculations, TEGs may create 884.13 kW of electrical energy per day while reducing CO2 emissions by roughly 10,609.35 kg per day. The strategy is consistent with the Paris Agreement's goal of achieving net-zero emissions. It has the ability to greatly boost energy efficiency and reduce emissions, demonstrating a promising option for dealing with climate change. More research and practical implementation are required to determine the feasibility and real-world impact of this novel concept.

The experiment aimed to investigate the effects of hydrogen amount on the overall efficiency of the model. The literature review provides an overview of fuel cell vehicles, their energy conversion processes, energy efficiency, and life cycle CO2 emissions. The lab test involved assembling the model kit car, producing hydrogen through the fuel cell, and measuring the time and hydrogen amount. Calculations were performed to determine the efficiency of the model kit under different hydrogen quantity values. The results demonstrate the relationship between hydrogen amount and efficiency. The findings contribute to the understanding of FCV efficiency and have implications for the development of real-world fuel cell vehicles.

It is important to find out the causes of power loss and improve the stability of the power system. Due to industrialization, the use of inductive load has increased, and power systems have lost their efficiency. Hence need to improve the power factor with a suitable method.
An automatic power factor correction device reads the power factor from line voltage and line current by determining the delay in the arrival of the current signal concerning the voltage signal from the AC mains with high accuracy by using an internal timer. These time values are then calibrated as phase angle and corresponding power factor. Then the microcontroller calculates the compensation requirement and switches on different capacitor banks accordingly. Automatic power factor correction techniques can be applied to the IT industries, power systems, and also households to make them stable. Due to that, the system becomes stable and hence increases the system's efficiency.
