simulation and hardware implementation of grid connected solar charge control...editor1knowledgecuddle
A renewable energy source plays an important role in electricity generation. Various renewable energy sources like
wind, solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, and biomass can be used for generation of electricity and for meeting our daily energy
needs. Energy from the sun is the best option for electricity generation as it is available everywhere and is free to harness. On an
average the sunshine hour in India is about 6hrs annually also the sun shine shines in India for about 9 months in a year.
Electricity from the sun can be generated through the solar photovoltaic modules (SPV). The SPV comes in various power
output to meet the load requirement [1]. Maximization of power from a solar photo voltaic module (SPV) is of special interest as
the efficiency of the SPV module is very low. A peak power tracker and DC-DC Boost Converter is used for Extracting the
maximum power from the SPV module. And simulation in PSIM software and hardware result is compare and solar panel
maximum efficiencies is increase nearby 85% using dither routine algorithm method use.
The Kenyan Economy: Perceptions and Realities Ipsos
In this release, we present several findings related to the economy.
Underpinning the specific findings is the general reality that three-quarters of all Kenyan households (75%) report a total family income of Shs. 25,000 or less, with more than half of these households (44%) earning between nothing and only Shs. 10,000 (a figure which increases to 46% if those who declined/were unable to answer this question are excluded). In addition, as is seen in several of the specific findings show below, such extensive poverty takes a clear regional dimension. For example, the proportion of those in the Shs. 10,000 and below category is 56% at the Coast compared to 56% in Nairobi, more than twice.
At the same time, these income-group findings over all three Ipsos surveys since May, 2014 show no statistical change, reflecting both the static nature of income-distribution in Kenya, and the reliability of Ipsos’ survey methodology.
The term “digital transformation” has been around for the past 3 years or more. Early on, it was considered something that only concerned the “techy or IT” teams in an organisation.
Digital transformation actually involves putting the best possible ‘User Engagement’ experience at the heart of all interactions between an organisation and its customers. It involves meeting and exceeding customer expectations
on any transaction or touchpoint with your organisation.
On the flip side of the coin, customers also expect the organisation to have a similarly all-encompassing
view of them, and their current and past relationship and interactions.
The biggest challenge for both consumer, business-to-business (B2B) companies and public service organisations is to create this single, seamless brand experience across all channels.

What is the UK Policy Lab and how does it work? The UK government set up a Policy Lab in 2014. This presentation looks at the projects and activities to date and plans for the future.
A different kind of IT leadership is required in the digital age. New leadership styles and maybe even new leadership capabilities are needed to capture the business advantages of cloud, mobile, social, analytics and the InterNet of Things. This is now a team game, that cannot be won by individual star players alone. We will discuss how to lead multiple influencing networks and how to collaborate and challenge orthodoxies across organisational boundaries. Don’t ask if you need a CDO, ask if you have the right existing CxOs and if they are working together as digital leaders.”

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
2. Making better
use of technology
for public good
Eduserv is a different sort of
organisation. We’re a professional
IT services company entirely
dedicated to public benefit.
Our assets are held in trust, and any
surpluses we make are reinvested in
service development and education.
This report is about our impact in the
sectors we serve and our plans for
the future.

University services. It makes things so
much easier for our staff and students.
Richard Taylor, Deputy Director of Library & Learning Services,
Bath Spa University
www.eduserv.org.uk4
5. Our OpenAthens services and Chest Agreements
help almost every university and college in the UK
to make their budgets go further and to improve
their access to online resources. Now we’re also
helping them develop their digital engagement.
So, for example, the University of Leicester:
1. Saves time and money with our software and online
resource licences. We estimate the university saves at least
£250,000 per year through our negotiations.
2. Uses our OpenAthens identity and access management
service to help provide its 15,700 staff and students with
easy access to subscribed resources whether on campus
or elsewhere.
3. Is developing their digital engagement, commissioning us to
migrate their website to an enterprise content management
system. We’re working collaboratively with their in-house
development team to ensure they are fully equipped to
support, and further develop, their site to meet their needs
in the future.
Education
Quick Facts:
●● Over 4 million people in 33 countries
use OpenAthens, our identity and
access management service.
●● We saved universities and colleges
£46 million in licencing costs in 2014.
OpenAthens makes
managing access to
hundreds of resources,
for thousands of students, much
more manageable. It also means
that students only need one user
name and password to access all
online resources.
Joanne Dunham, Head of Collections &
Information Systems, University of Leicester
We really value the
Eduserv licence negotiation
service. It means we can
provide our students and researchers
with industry-leading software and extra
benefits like the home use rights. The
licence terms make my job easier and
make campus-wide use affordable.
Sue Preston, Software Manager
IT Services, University of Leicester
Eduserv is helping us migrate our site
to new technology at the same time
as we train our in-house team. This
collaborative approach makes the work great value
and is helping us make better use of technology in
our digital communications.

6. Government departments and local authorities
need to cut costs and improve public services.
Our services help them do that by consolidating
their IT infrastructure and migrating to the cloud.
Over the past year, we’ve worked with a number of
government organisations including departments,
local authorities and agencies.
Government
Supporting Bristol
City Council’s business
transformation through
the cloud
We’re helping Bristol to cut costs and
transform their digital service through
a period of managed migration from
in-house data centres to the cloud.
In February 2015, after several months
of careful planning, our team worked
from Friday evening into the early
hours of Monday to migrate Bristol’s
infrastructure, addressing problems
as they arose and ensuring there was
no disruption to council services.
By migrating our IT
estate to Eduserv’s data
centres we’re able to
make significant cost savings through
property rationalisation. The move
also means that the IT team can
focus on adding value to the way the
council uses IT rather than simply
managing the IT estate.

Integration Manager, Bristol City Council

9. With reductions in funding and increased
pressure on budgets, the challenge for
charities to increase donations, improve
volunteer management, and enhance services
to beneficiaries has never been tougher.
We help charities get the right digital and IT strategy in
place, in order to engage more effectively online and to
boost performance, while cutting costs on their hosting
and infrastructure.
We work hard to understand charities’ needs and to
share lessons across the sector, and we were delighted
to win the Charity Times ‘Technology Provider of the
Year’ award in May 2015. Our charity clients include
Alzheimer’s Society, the British Red Cross, Marie Curie
and Drinkaware.
Enhancing the British Red
Cross’ digital strategy with
a mobile-ready website and
personalised user content
To help the British Red Cross
get the most out of their digital
communications we’ve optimised
their main site for access from
mobile devices, making it quick
and easy for users to navigate and
donate. A new GPS feature provides
information based on location.
Working with the British Red Cross,
we’ve helped ensure:
●● the website detects and optimises
for any mobile device;
●● users can find services more easily;
●● the mobile site drives visitors to
their shops;
●● fewer call-centre calls and easier
content updates, meaning real
efficiency savings.
Only needing to edit
content once for both
sites makes it efficient
to manage and ensures users get a
consistent message.

10. Access to the right information at the right time is critical
to delivering efficient and effective health services.
The NHS spends millions on subscriptions to vital information
resources for their staff. Maximising the value they get
from these resources is key, but ensuring easy access to
hundreds of online resources for thousands of staff is a
significant challenge.
The OpenAthens identity and access management service
makes it easier to to provide the right users with the right access,
reducing administration overheads and providing a seamless
experience for users wherever they are.
Hundreds of thousands of NHS staff and clinicians rely on
OpenAthens for their access to resources.
Healthcare
OpenAthens users are able to
do their jobs more efficiently,
freeing up precious time and
resources whether using the service for
professional development, on ward rounds,
or in Accident & Emergency departments.
Alexia Tonnel, Director,
Evidence Resources, NICE
OpenAthens worldwide
The OpenAthens identity and access
management service is not just an
authentication tool for the UK.
It is used in 33 countries worldwide,
helping students, researchers and
clinicians access the information
that is vital to their roles.
Users love OpenAthens
because it gives them
seamless, remote access
to our many resources.

12. Committed
We care about the public benefit that our customers
provide and our first priority is to help them deliver
better services. That’s why we exist; it’s why working
at Eduserv is about more than a pay cheque. We care
about our customers and about each other, and we
hope that comes across in our approach.
Living our values
It’s commonplace now for organisations to proclaim their values:
for us it’s vital that we make commonplace words real, understand
what they mean for us, and keep checking how we measure up:
Professional
We seek to hire and develop talented people; people
who are ambitious to grow. We strive to understand
our customers’ needs better, to exploit technology
better, and to ensure we give ever better value for
money to the organisations we serve. We aim for
consistently high quality and great customer service.
www.eduserv.org.uk12
13. Collaborative
We aim to be supportive and straightforward in
everything we do. We work alongside our customers
to help them understand their costs, challenges,
risks and opportunities, and develop solutions that
help them achieve their business aims.
Making the most
of our independence
Eduserv cannot be bought or sold – unlike
most medium sized technology providers.
This means we can, and do, prioritise long-
term relationships over short-term earnings.
It also means our customers can be sure we will still
be here tomorrow, as an independent, self-sufficient
enterprise, dedicated to their interests. And it means
our staff have the confidence that Eduserv will
continue to be their employer, allowing them to focus
on developing and delivering valuable services.
By focusing on our values and
continually improving, we’ll enable
more organisations to make better
use of technology for public good.
Stephen Butcher, CEO
www.eduserv.org.uk 13
14. Being business-like
Eduserv stands out as a charity
working in a competitive and
changing landscape and making
such a positive difference to the customers
it works with. I really enjoy seeing the value
Eduserv creates in very important areas.
Tony Mather, Trustee
We have great ideals – to make a big
difference to the organisations we serve,
so that they can make a bigger difference
to those they serve. But we can only do
this if we’re effective and efficient.
Managing our resources sensibly, investing well,
and contracting prudently is key to ensuring that
we continue to provide exceptional services in
the future.
In 2013/14 we generated a trading surplus of
£257,000 and we expect to make a surplus of not
less than £400,000 in 2014/2015. These surpluses
contribute to a reserve for capital investment,
for our planned education programme, and for
pension liabilities.
www.eduserv.org.uk14
15. Making a surplus most of the time is
important for us, but it’s not enough.
Our mission is to help organisations make better
use of technology for public benefit, and our
ambition is to increase both the number of public
good organisations we support and the value
we bring them.
These organisations choose to use us rather than
our commercial competitors, and the net value of
our services to them provides some measure of the
benefit we’re delivering to them.
In 2013/2014, this grew by 11% and, in 2014/15,
we expect growth to exceed 20%.
Unlike most commercial organisations
of our size, we’re happy to continue
providing a diverse range of services, as
long as each of those services is fulfilling
our mission and is sustainable.
Our understanding of the challenges faced in the
sectors we serve informs how our services develop –
understanding what kind of software agreements
our universities need, or what hinders their more
effective use of online content; understanding how
digital technologies can best help charities engage and
operate; and understanding how cloud technologies
can best support citizen services in an unforgiving
economic climate.
As an organisation constituted to serve the public
rather than shareholders, our privilege is to address
these agendas with a view to maximising the value
we deliver rather than the surplus we make, and our
ambition is to continue increasing that value at pace.

16. Eduserv has grown significantly over
the years and now employs over 160
staff. We seek to recruit and develop
talented people who share our
purpose of using IT for public good.
We’re really proud of the staff we
have and recognise that we couldn’t
help our customers use technology
more effectively without them.

Trustees
Eduserv’s Trustees are all volunteers and are all senior,

Trustees are:
It is amazing what 21st

public and not-for-

it is so often mismanaged. I joined
Eduserv as a Trustee as it is a charity

organisations make IT work. It is a

does make a difference.
