Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems use mirrors or lenses to focus sunlight onto a small area to generate heat. This heat is then used to drive a steam turbine which powers an electrical generator. CSP plants can also use molten salt storage to continue generating power after sunset. There are four main types of CSP technologies: parabolic troughs, dishes, linear Fresnel reflectors, and solar power towers. While CSP is currently more expensive than photovoltaics, global installed CSP capacity has increased nearly tenfold between 2004 and 2013, with most growth in the last five years.

solar power tower
Solar power towers use an array of mirrors called heliostats to focus sunlight onto a central receiver at the top of a tower. This concentrated sunlight is used to heat a fluid or molten salt that can store the thermal energy. There are two main types of solar towers - steam based systems that use water as the heat transfer fluid, and molten salt based systems that use a molten salt mixture. Solar towers have the advantages of being renewable, environmentally friendly sources of energy generation, but they also require large amounts of land and water and have the disadvantage of only producing energy when the sun is shining.

Resistance spot welding
Seam welding uses two rotating electrodes to create a continuous weld along a seam. It works on the same resistance heating principle as spot welding but produces a linear weld rather than discrete welds. The speed of the electrodes and current can be controlled to achieve different weld bead types. Seam welding is commonly used for leak-proof welding of fuel tanks, tin cans, and radiators. It has similar advantages and disadvantages to spot welding but is limited to straight or curved seams and risks current leakage through the welded region.

However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoring
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Concentrated solar power
- 2. CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER (CSP) • Concentrated solar power (also called concentrating solar power, concentrated solar thermal, and CSP) systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy, onto a small area. • Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat, which drives a steam turbine connected to an electrical power generator. • Heat storage in molten salts allows solar thermal plants to continue to generate after sunset and adds value to such systems when compared to photovoltaic panels.
- 4. MIRRORS AND LENSES • Concentrated-solar technology systems use mirrors or lenses with tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight onto a small area. • Concentrating technologies exist in four optical types, namely parabolic trough, dish, concentrating linear Fresnel reflector, and solar power tower. • Although simple, these solar concentrators are quite far from the theoretical maximum concentration.Theoretical efficiencies aside, real-world experience of CSP reveals a 25%–60% shortfall in projected production. For example, the parabolic-trough concentration gives about 1⁄3 of the theoretical maximum. • Different types of concentrators produce different peak temperatures, due to differences in the way that they track the sun and focus light.
- 5. Parabolic Trough Enclosed Trough Fresnel Trough Dish Trough
- 6. • The commercial deployment of CSP plants started by 1984 in the US. • From 1991 to 2005, no CSP plants were built anywhere in the world. • Global installed CSP-capacity increased nearly tenfold between 2004 and 2013 and grew at an average of 50 percent per year during the last five of those years. • Since then most of CSP plants are under construction. • Heat from the sun can be used to provide steam used to make heavy oil less viscous and easier to pump. Solar power tower and parabolic troughs can be used to provide the steam which is used directly so no generators are required and no electricity is produced. • Currently, cost of CSP generated electricity is higher than that of photovoltaic.
