Problem Summary And Introduction
Today solar energy is seen as the most reliable renewable energy source. According to calculations the sun deposits 120,000 TW of radiation on the surface of Earth. The sun covers about 0.16% of the land on Earth. With 10% efficient solar conversion systems we can generate almost 20 TW of power, which is almost twice the world’s consumption. The above comparisons show that solar energy have impressive magnitude, it provides more energy than present day human technology can provide.
The first solar cell were developed about 50 years ago by Bell Laboratories in 1954. These solar cells were used as power source in satellites. In the end of 1970 scientists were able to develop silicon solar cells (Photo voltaic

Its resistance decreases as the intensity of light falling on it increases. This property is used for locating the position of the sun. In LDR based solar tracking systems, three or more sensors are arranged in different ways to locate the position of the sun. One of the most common methods are placing 3 LDR sensors at three ends of the panel. Another method makes use of formation of shadows by change in position of sun to locate its current position. Generally 4 LDR sensors are placed closed together separated by dark partitions, with one LDR sensor in each partition. The readings obtained from different LDR sensors are compared to determine the relative illuminance and hence find the position of sun relative to the panel. This data is fed to a micro-controller that computes the difference and signals the actuators to align the panel. This method of tracking the sun is inexpensive and relatively simple. LDR based trackers have a positional feedback system which keeps a regular check on the current position of the panel. The disadvantage of this method is that it’s not very accurate in cloudy of foggy weather. The system tends to enter hunting mode which results in substantial consumption of
In all trials, some of the precipitate was lost through the filter. Therefor all values are most likely less than the actual values due to
The Wastelands is segregated with species from hundreds of Realm Worlds and rival nations. These uniform militias employ their home world technologies to fortify their kingdoms from feuding enemies. Ruled under a totalitarian dictatorship they often launch campaigns against neighboring kingdoms resorting to guerrilla warfare tactics. Once the kingdom is toppled the captors are systematically enslaved consequently expanding their future reign. Several are capable of traveling to their worlds through the use of Realm Portals.
For a long time, men viewed women as inferior. They had almost no rights and were there mostly for taking care of the house and children. This continued well into the 1800s and even the beginning of the 1900s. Of course, there were a view exceptions to this. Some of the more notable ones include Cleopatra, the last independent Pharoah and Joan of Arc, a girl who fought for the French during the Hundred Years War with England.
A solar panel can be used for many things, but the biggest thing is used for capturing the sun's energy in order to make it useful provide energy to the house, buildings even be sold back to the city or town you live in etc.. It works by collecting the sunlight throughout the day, then converts into energy that's usable, then the electricity travels to the net meter then the energy is used for anything. When having the solar panel on a roof you can use it for personal use or even sell it back to the electrical company and they’ll pay you. There are about 73,000 terawatts of energy shining down that's 10,000 times then what we use on daily bases. Perks of having solar panels it's a tax 30% tax write off, doesn’t need any fuel combustion, Securing your energy and not depending on National
This was done to get more accurate results. The first time the experiment was conducted it was tested at three different time points, at zero minutes, fifteen minutes and
For example, with a systemic error, the electronic scale you use reads slightly too high for all the measurements, partially because it was improperly weighed throughout the experiment. To minimize these errors, take more data and average out your recordings. 3. If there is a lack of linearity, then the accuracy of your results may be off. 4.

Scientists have found that renewable energy is a path towards the future for a clean and safe environment. Throughout all the studies and findings, there is a continuing fret whether people should be able to use a traditional way of energy or renewable energy, solar power. Solar energy is seen to be effective since there has progressively been more places that are benefiting from solar usage; however there are also some who disagree. Solar energy sources are derived from natural sources and is implicated throughout our daily lives. From the lights in the streets to the computers we use at home.
wind energy and solar energy are both renewable types of energy they create no pollution and are fully sustainable as they are both powered by natural sources and if there is no wind one day the solar panels can generate energy and if it 's cloudy another day the windmills can generate energy also the energy created during the summer can be sold to the grid for extra capital that can be used for field trips, renovations, etc. Geothermal heating systems are rated the most efficient and eco-friendly heating systems. The system works using buried coils that contain a liquid, typically a mix of water and antifreeze. The liquid is warmed to the same temperature as the earth and then runs through to the home where a compressor extracts the heat but not only that geothermal heating requires no fossil fuels so it is very eco-friendly LED lighting is an efficient and eco friendly lighting alternative because they waste much less energy in converting to light compare to incandescent lights which waste 90% of the energy to convert to heat not only that LED lights last up to 15-25 times longer that traditional light bulbs this makes LED a much better source of lights than others because it wastes less energy and it is more efficient at doing its job this is so much better for the environment because it uses less energy that other lighting sources
At that time, the sink node uses the IP cameras positioned in the sensing area to record the events and display the current situations. When events are detected by sensors, they start to collect data for a specific period. Fig. 1 shows the proposed system which consists of two parts; sensor side and sink
2.1 INTRODUCTION Non-Renewable Resources are resources that have the potential to be used up due to consumption or overuse, they have production, development or replenishment rate that cannot match up with the depletion rate. In short these are resources that can be finished, output exceeds input, and they are infinite. Non-Renewable resources vary from non-renewable fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil, non-renewable alternative energy sources like nuclear energy and deep-earth geo-thermal energy, soil, and minerals (Botkin & Keller, 2012). These non-renewable resources range from a few years, up to thousands of years to replenish. The local as well as global challenge, is that most non-renewable resources are directly exploited by humans and their existence is widely threatened were usage
Reduce excessive vehicle idling Usually, drivers have an instinct to keep on running the vehicle engine while making their delivery or stops. Reducing vehicle idling can save you a lot of money. With the use of a vehicle tracking system, you can monitor each driver's habits and thereby regulate their fuel wastage by excessive idling. 2. Prevent overspeeding of vehicles
