Malcolm Aranda proposes developing a medium-sized quadcopter UAV for Hamilton Construction that can operate day and night with electro-optical and infrared cameras. It will use a hybrid gas/electric propulsion system with a lithium-ion battery providing 2.5 hours of flight. Computer simulations and testing will validate performance, and the final test will demonstrate a 2-hour flight over a live construction site. The total design, manufacturing, and testing timeline is estimated at 6 months.

Development of Solar Tracking System Using IMC-PID Controller
In the past, solar cells are hooked with fixed elevating angles, and it does not track the sun. Therefore the efficiency of the power generation is low. The stability and improved speed of response can only be achieved with appropriate controller to take care of external disturbances and design uncertainty associated with a conventional controller. The IMC controller would be used to allow good tracking ability and good load disturbance rejection. Modeling of a dual axis solar tracker. An IMC-PID controller was developed for a dual axis solar tracker.

Effective Drone Solar Farm Inspection with Thermal Imaging - ABJ SolarVueABJ Drones
ABJ SolarVue – https://abjdrones.com/drone-solar-panel-inspection/
The Next Level of Solar Farm Inspections. Achieve Maximum Energy Production and Faster ROI from your Solar Farms.
Our key objective is to identify the faulty Solar Panels so they can be replaced by the manufacturers while they are in warranty, maximize output/efficiency and proactively addressing issues thus minimizing maintenance cost. We leverage drone Thermal Imaging and Aerial Inspections to provide accurate and detailed inspections quicker and more cost effectively.
Value of Drones for Solar Farm Inspections:
- Rapid and Easy scans for Roof tops and arrays
- Hot spot identification showing defective cells / Geotagged image
- Diagnostic purpose / planning of Panel placement
- Infrared signatures show defective panels
- Keep the solar farm running at peak efficiency
- Save time with pre-selected way point aerial inspections
Our Drone Thermal Imaging Services:
To ensure a failure-free operation, a mechanism needs to be in place which is fast, simple and reliable to evaluate. Hence more and more solar panel installers work with ABJ Drones’ experienced thermographers; we offer regular thermal imaging inspections to ensure the safety and effective deployment of solar systems.

With the transition to sustainable energy, the data tier supporting a surface-network becomes more and more important.
We will show how MongoDB plays a role in that transition, enabling us to ignore recommended patterns and use radical approaches instead for a high-performing Sustainable Energy Solution.
Induction Motors Matching Permanent Magnet Performances at Lower Costsfernando nuño
Due to a continued concern on the external dependence of permanent magnets in Europe, induction technology is being pushed beyond its limits to maximise performance.
With novel materials, material characterisation and multi-domain design, power-speed capability of laminated rotor induction motors can match that typically associated with surface permanent magnet machines, at a fraction of the cost.
This session reviews the findings relating to lower cost induction motors, highlighting how they can successfully be used as an alternative to permanent magnets.

You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
