Examples of renewable energy sources include wind power, solar power, bio-energy (organic matter burned as a fuel) and hydroelectric, including tidal energy.  Renewable energy engineers develop and design systems to use energy from renewable resources, such as the sun, wind, and water. Renewable resources are energy sources that are naturally and continually replaced. They are alternatives to nonrenewable resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas that do not replenish themselves, and are environmentally destructive. It's crucial to gain specialized expertise. Focus on understanding the electronic components that are vital for renewable energy systems, such as inverters, which convert direct current (DC) from solar panels into alternating current (AC) for use in homes and businesses. Familiarize yourself with energy storage systems,

The Distributed Antenna System

A distributed antenna system is most often used to distribute cellular network coverage to heavily populated buildings, such as offices, high-rise apartments, shopping centers or sports stadiums. The Telecommunication facility is one of the major parts of the building utility to provide communications. The building owner shall provide space to house the telecommunication facility of the building. The distributed antenna system is part of the telecommunication facility of the building. The distributed antenna system, is an in-building solution comprising of a number of pico cells to provide wireless coverage and services using 2G. 3G, 4G, 5G, and even 6G wireless access technology. Definite number of antennas constitutes one single sector; this means that these set of antennas are strategically installed inside a building / compound to

Telecommunications Facilities building premises codes and standards

As with other utilities, interruptions to service can have a serious impact. Poor quality of service due to lack of design foresight, use of inappropriate components, incorrect or improper installation, poor administration or inadequate support can threaten an organization's effectiveness. The cabling infrastructure within premises comprised both the application specific and multipurpose networks. The initial Philippine Electronics Code volume II edition discusses rules and standards for the Electronics and Communications Industry in planning for building telephone facilities geared towards the lowest possible costs, consistent with aesthetic  and safe practices, and which will result in minimum maintenance, future re-arrangement cos
