Design and Implementation of a 30KVA Hybrid Inverter Solar and Utility Supplyijtsrd
The greatest desire of mankind is to have reliable and sustainable electricity. Over the years, conventional, non renewable energy resources e.g. coal, oil, fuelwood etc had been harnessed to generate electricity. However, these resources are depleting with constant usage. This had initiated a switch in attention to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, tidal energy etc. This paper therefore, demonstrates the design and implementation of a 30KVA hybrid inverter using solar panels and utility supply as means of charging so as to generate reliable and sustainable electricity. To achieve this, hybrid inverter with solar battery charging system consists of an inverter powered by a 192V battery was installed. This inverter generates up to 240V AC with the help of driver circuitry and a heavy load transformer. This battery gets charged from two sources, first being the mains power supply itself. If the mains power supply is available, the relay switches to the connection using mains power supply to supply to the load. This power supply also charges the battery for using it as back up the next time there is power outage. The use of solar panel to charge the battery gives an additional advantage of surplus power in case the power outage of mains is prolonging. Thus, this inverter can last for longer duration’s and provide uninterrupted power supply to the user. While the solar panel converts solar energy to electric energy and charge up the batteries during the day with the help of MPPT charge controller, the charge controller was able to accommodate 200VDC from the solar panel and deliver an output voltage 192DCV while converting the excess voltage to current at 192V 100A to the battery. The DC output of the battery was also converted to the usable AC form the inverter. This made it possible for the system output to be used to power domestic appliances. The system design is considered for a residential building in Nigeria. During the test of the solar panels, the results obtained showed that the solar panels were more than sufficient to charge the 3200AH batteries that were connected in series and parallel arrangement for many hours especially during the day. Although, the 192VDC input required by the system to function would not be available at all times in a day, the use of a 192V battery as an auxiliary power source increased the length of time for which the system was available since 3200AH was all that was needed to power the system but another back up of 3200AH was incorporated to span the usage time. The system operate at minimum running cost, pollution free environment, noiseless, reliable and provide the convenient of a twenty four hour power supply. With this system, energy efficiency was achieved.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

11. BRENDON, QLD
SITUATION
Brendon, an electrician on the Gold Coast, understood that his
lifestyle affected his energy consumption but didn’t understand how.
Despite being a single person household, he used around 20.2 kWh
a day. He wanted more clarity about how his behaviour could lead
to such high usage.
HOW HE DID IT
Brendon used carbonTRACK to:
• Understand how much electricity his major appliances used -
he recognised that his electric hot water system used electricity
perpetually, even though he only used hot water early in the morning
• Track his use and set timers to switch off the hot water from
11pm to 5am
RESULTS
Brendon cut his average daily use to 14.54 kWh. That’s a saving of
27.88%.
Wow, it’s amazing
how such a small
change can make
such a big difference
Non-solar
DEEPA, NSW
SITUATION
Deepa lives in a large home in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, with
daily energy consumption averaging 116kWh. The addition of two
family members into the household prompted Deepa to look into her
electricity use.
HOW SHE DID IT
• Within 24 hours of having carbonTRACK installed, Deepa
could see an excessive amount of energy wasted at night by her
appliances
• carbonTRACK’s switching capability reduced the heating and
cooling cycles in the electric hot water system, and the wine cellar
RESULTS
Within a week, energy had been decreased by a daily average of
55.5 kWh a day, a reduction of 47.66%.
The data and insights accessible on the carbonTRACK interface
also suggested that Deepa could potentially offset and additional
25.58% of her energy requirements by installing PV Solar.

12. VICKY, VIC
SITUATION
Vicky was not seeing a return on her PV solar system. Her electricity
bills hardly changed since installing solar. She was frustrated and
didn’t know what else she could do.
HOW SHE DID IT
Using carbonTRACK, Vicky:
• Monitored her solar system’s
daily performance
• Verified her household’s total
electricity bills
• Controlled and minimised
the hours of operation of her
electric hot water system
• Identified when she was
producing excess solar
• Ran energy hungry devices,
such as her washing machine,
during the peak solar hours
RESULTS
With her carbonTRACK,
Vicky was able to increase
her household’s solar energy
consumption by 12%.
With all these energy efficiency
improvements, Vicky reduced
her overall daily energy
consumption from 31 kWh to 19
kWh; that’s a reduction of 45%.
Before carbonTRACK we
didn’t know what we were
producing or using.
It was so disappointing
and frustrating!

BARBARA, VIC
SITUATION
Barbara lives in Melbourne’s outer east. She has five children and
had PV Solar installed to help manage her spiralling electricity costs.
But solar didn’t decrease her quarterly energy bill, and she was
convinced that her PV Solar panels weren’t working.
HOW SHE DID IT
• Barbara’s solar provider installed carbonTRACK to reassure her
that her solar was functioning correctly, and to further map her solar
production against the family’s consumption
• carbonTRACK confirmed that Barbara’s system was performing
as it should, and that solar had decreased her grid energy use
by over 50%
RESULTS
carbonTRACK helped Barbara further reduce her grid electricity
use. Originally, Barbara ran her pool pump at night during off-peak
tariffs. Using the carbonTRACK app, Barbara shifted this schedule
to the middle of the day to take advantage of excess daytime solar
production. This intervention alone saved Barbara 10% on her bill.
We are actually
looking forward
to our next bill

13. MICHAEL, VIC
SITUATION
Michael had a battery installed at his home to compliment his PV
Solar and manage his night time electricity use. However, even with
battery storage installed his bills were still high.
HOW HE DID IT
carbonTRACK determined
that when solar generation
was lower than the prescribed
battery preset, Michael’s battery
would charge from the grid
connected mains.
RESULTS
With carbonTRACK installed,
Michael was able to see
when and how his battery
was charging. With this new
information, Michael set his
battery storage parameters
so the battery was primarily
charged by his PV Solar.
I am now
able to see
when and how
my battery
is charging

14. “Michael has saved 13% on
his last electricity bill since
carbonTRACK was installed”
SITUATION
Electricity bills have a huge
impact on the bottom line of small
businesses. The cost of lighting,
air-conditioning, coffee machines
and appliances used every day
was leaving Michael with high
quarterly electricity bills in excess
of $2500.
These costs seemed unavoidable
as the café couldn’t use less
electricity when open. Michael
installed carbonTRACK to
gain the visibility he needed
to understand when he was
using electricity, and where
improvements might be made to
reduce his expenses.
HOW THEY DID IT
With carbonTRACK Michael
was able to determine two
clear opportunities to reduce
electricity waste. He could see
that there was frequent heating
of the two hot water systems
outside of hours. Michael could
also see that appliances such
as the food displays, a toaster,
sandwich press and the coffee
machine were routinely left on
overnight.
Using the carbonTRACK
dashboard, Michael set timers
to reduce the excessive cycling
of electric hot water systems.
He was also able to switch off
the coffee machine at close
of business and monitor other
electricity consuming devices
such as fridges to identify
further areas for improvement.
RESULTS
Now Michael saves 13% on his
electricity bills, putting more
than $1000 a year back in his
business.

15. “carbonTRACK reduced the
risk of food safety breaches
in our cold chain environment.”
SITUATION
Fast food chains have high overheads and must comply with the
strict HACCP food safety programme. The managers of a chain
of five fast food stores were looking to improve their day-to-day
practices for greater efficiency and to save money. In particular, they
were concerned there may be breaches beyond the acceptable
temperature when no one was there to perform checks.
HOW THEY DID IT
Hot water control
carbonTRACK was set to monitor and control a three-phase electric
hot water system in five stores. The electric hot water units were put
on timers to restrict excessive overnight heating.
Temperature sensors
carbonTRACK installed temperature sensors to monitor and
automate recordings from the food displays, walk in freezer and
refrigeration units. These readings were displayed in real time on
the carbonTRACK dashboard so all five stores could be monitored
remotely. These sensors saved on labour costs and ensured tighter
control over temperature checks.
Email alerts
An email alert was set to notify managers when acceptable
temperature ranges were breached so they could efficiently manage
HACCP risks. The changes saved money by maintaining HACCP
standards and decreasing food wastage.
A/C control
Finally, the ambient temperature of the restaurants and the air
conditioner settings were measured. carbonTRACK demonstrated
how with slight adjustments to the temperature controls additional
savings of approximately 2% were possible.

With carbonTRACK, the overall energy demand decreased and
alerts remotely detected breaches to assit in HACCP compliance.
16. FAST FOOD CHAIN, QLD
SITUATION
The electricity bills for three fast food franchises varied greatly.
There was particular concern for managing Peak Demand Charges
which accounted for almost half of the monthly electricity bills.
Managers wanted a better understanding of energy demands.
Without the relevant information, it was difficult to identify which
restaurants needed attention and how to improve their performance.
HOW THEY DID IT
carbonTRACK’s functions enabled:
• Visibility of mains electricity consumption
• Load switching for two electric hot water systems per store
• Reduced peak demand events
RESULTS
To prevent excessive peak demand spikes automatic alerts warned
management of spikes in power use. With these improvements they
reduced their electricity consumption.
“carbonTRACK gave us
insights to analyse our stores’
performance and reduce peak
demand charges”

17. OFFICE BUILDING, NSW HOTEL, QLD
SITUATION
The Gold Coast hotel wanted to quantify their LED lighting upgrade
investment.
HOW THEY DID IT
carbonTRACK was installed to demonstrate energy savings from a
swap-out of halogen lights to LEDs.
RESULTS
By comparing the information before and after installation of LED
lights, carbonTRACK validated the savings achieved from the
upgrade. After installation, results showed a 70% reduction in
consumption on the lighting circuits after installation. Furthermore,
total energy consumption fell by 24%, drastically reducing their
overheads and confirming the return on investment in their new
lighting.
SITUATION
Management was looking to improve their energy efficiency by
upgrading to LED lighting. In addition, they wanted to reduce their
air-conditioning costs and needed to verify the energy savings.
HOW THEY DID IT
carbonTRACK was installed to measure energy consumption and
verify savings.
RESULTS
Manual forecasting became redundant as staff used carbonTRACK
real-time readings. This was a more cost effective approach
as costly technicians were not required to attend the site nor
were additional reports required from the proprietary Building
Management System.
“Before LED upgrades, we
needed a baseline of our
energy consumption to verify
energy savings.”

18. SITUATION
A Media company employs staff nationally
to check the performance of lights that
illuminate their billboards (there is no
remote monitoring) and manual changes
are required to timers for daylight savings.
The impact of any outages for lights directly
affects the company’s advertising revenue.
HOW THEY DID IT
carbonTRACK has been installed on
a billboard that generates over $1m
in revenue per annum, to remotely
monitor individual lights. Outages are
communicated immediately through alerts,
so actions can be taken to rectify faults.
RESULTS
Remote switching reduces reponse time
and the cost of physical labour to change
timer settings.

19. CLOTHING RETAILER, VIC
SITUATION
This retail chain has set a target to reduce their carbon footprint by
2020 across all their stores.
HOW THEY DID IT
carbonTRACK has been installed in 40 stores to measure and
benchmark energy consumption per square metre.
The comparisons allow management to identify behavioural
improvements, such as remote control of lights as well as heating
and cooling temperature control. Further, carbonTRACK established
a baseline to support LED upgrades.
RESULTS
Management can track their energy reduction targets for their
improvement strategy. The retail chain will roll out carbonTRACK to
additional stores to fast track their carbon reductions and reduce
operational costs.
“We can identify both
structural and behavioural
improvements to help meet
our carbon reduction target.”
