Making model of dual axis solar tracking with Maximum Power Point Trackingijsrd.com
Now a days solar harvesting is more popular. As the popularity become higher the material quality and solar tracking methods are more improved. There are several factors affecting the solar system. Major influence on solar cell, intensity of source radiation and storage techniques The materials used in solar cell manufacturing limit the efficiency of solar cell. This makes it particularly difficult to make considerable improvements in the performance of the cell, and hence restricts the efficiency of the overall collection process. Therefore, the most attainable maximum power point tracking method of improving the performance of solar power collection is to increase the mean intensity of radiation received from the source used. The purposed of tracking system controls elevation and orientation angles of solar panels such that the panels always maintain perpendicular to the sunlight. The measured variables of our automatic system were compared with those of a fixed angle PV system.

An Arduino board controls a servo motor to rotate the panels based on the LDR sensor readings so that the panels remain perpendicular to the incoming sunlight. When built and deployed, this solar tracker is expected to improve energy collection from solar panels by continuously adjusting their orientation to track the sun's movement across the sky.

An oscilloscope measures and displays the voltage of a signal over time. It samples the voltage at regular intervals, storing up to 2500 measurements with 8-bit precision. These measurements are displayed as a graph of voltage versus time, which is refreshed when the oscilloscope receives a trigger.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

4. What is a solar Tracker ?
A solar tracker is a generic term used to describe
devices that orient or align various payloads toward
the sun.
Example for payloads are photovoltaic panels,
reflectors, Collectors, lenses or other optical devices.
The system focuses on the optimization of the
electric energy produced by photovoltaic cells
through the development of a sun-tracking system.
5. Need For A Sun Tracking System
Global worming has increased the demand and request for
green energy produced by renewal sources as solar power.
Solar energy has been the power supply of choice for
industrial application where power is required at remote
locations.
Solar tracking is increasingly applied as a effective power
generation .
6.
7. Conditions For MaximumOutput
The difference between the incident ray and the reflected ray should
be equal to zero, i.e. the rays should be perpendicular to the panel.
The altitude is directly proportional to the efficiency of the system up
to a certain limit.
Very clear sky and clean atmosphere contributes a bit more to the
efficiency of the system.
8. Basic Components
The Solar Panel
Stepper Motor
Actuator
Microcontroller
A Display Unit (Optional)
Interfacing Cables
11. The Inputs
The various positions of the sun over a year for a particular
geographical location is given as the primary input to the
microcontroller.
The irradiance of the sun for a particular geographical location
over a year is the input for the microcontroller.
The real time clocking is enabled in the microcontroller.
12. Controlling Constraints
The microcontroller is programmed to orient the panel at optimum
position against the sun, via comparing to the inputs given.
The microcontroller is set with a lower tolerance for the voltage
produced.
If the voltage produced is above the tolerance then it holds the
position of the panel.
If the voltage falls below the tolerance, then the panel changes the
position in the forward direction.
13. Applications
Can be used for small & medium scale power generations.
For power generation at remote places where power lines are
not accessible.
For domestic backup power systems.
14. Advantages
• Solar tracking systems continually orient photovoltaic
panels towards the sun and can help maximize your
investment in your PV system.
• One time investment, which provides higher efficiency &
flexibility on dependency over other sources.
• Tracking systems can help reducing emissions and can
contribute against global warming.
• Bulk implementations of tracking systems help reduced
consumption of power by other sources.
• It enhances the clean and emission free power
production.
15. Disadvantages
Initial investment is high on solar panels.
It’s a bit of difficult for servicing, as the tracking systems are not
quite popular regionally.
Moving parts and gears which will require regular maintenance.
May require repair or replacement of broken parts over a long
run.
16. Conclusion
On one hand we can see the worlds energy resources depletion to
be a major problem.
On the other hand global warming, which is a major concern.
Switching to solar power, which is clean and green and enhancing
its efficiency by using sun trackers is a great option in the near
future .
