"Achieving Energy Independence with Off-grid, Battery-based Solar Energy Systems" A Presentation by Vinod Tiwari at 'Dubai World Trade Center' in November 2017.
This document summarizes a student project on a wind-solar hybrid power generation system. It introduces hybrid systems that combine renewable energy sources like solar and wind. The objectives are to study, design, and demonstrate a wind-solar hybrid power system to power LED lights. It describes the methodology, components, advantages and applications of the hybrid system. The system uses solar panels and a wind turbine to generate DC power, which is stored in batteries and converted to AC power using an inverter to run the LED lights. The conclusions are that the hybrid system provides stable power and can be commercially applied in rural areas.
RenewAbility is a social enterprise committed to promoting sustainable living through renewable energy sources like solar power. It focuses on supplying renewable energy through solar panels and improving energy efficiency. RenewAbility discusses solar photovoltaic power packs, which convert solar energy to electricity, as well as their various models for both on-grid and off-grid use. Economics of solar power packs are provided through a case study, and RenewAbility's expertise in designing, installing, and maintaining these systems is described.
Off grid solar power systems design is said to be complex. In this presentation, a simple design process is described: starting by load assessment, then moving to estimating array energy output; estimating array power and determining required number of modules as well as the size of other system components.
This presentation is adapted from a course delivered online by Mathy Mpassy Isinki. After ten years spent providing energy solutions in remote off grid locations, he describes himself as an off grid energy solutions business and technical sales professional; his goal is to share with you what he has learned the last ten years.

A hybrid inverter allows energy from solar panels to charge batteries, and includes an AC/DC converter to charge the batteries from a 220VAC supply. The system includes a microcontroller, solar panel, battery storage, relay, switching circuit, and control circuit. It can provide power to multiple loads from both solar energy and the 220VAC supply.
This document presents a minor project synopsis for developing a solar power bank. It discusses using a solar panel and adjustable voltage regulator to charge a lead-acid battery.

7 Success Mantra for just turned teenager daughter.Iam Vinod Tiwari
The document discusses the importance of dreaming big and having goals, focusing one's efforts, thinking positively, believing in oneself, and going the extra mile. It notes that only 3% of people set clear mid- and long-term goals, and that positive thinking can boost energy, passion, and hope. It encourages focusing on personal growth and bettering oneself each day rather than comparing to others.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

Design and optimization of ion propulsion dronebjmsejournal
Electric propulsion technology is widely used in many kinds of vehicles in recent years, and aircrafts are no exception. Technically, UAVs are electrically propelled but tend to produce a significant amount of noise and vibrations. Ion propulsion technology for drones is a potential solution to this problem. Ion propulsion technology is proven to be feasible in the earth’s atmosphere. The study presented in this article shows the design of EHD thrusters and power supply for ion propulsion drones along with performance optimization of high-voltage power supply for endurance in earth’s atmosphere.
1. Achieving Energy Independence with Off-grid,
Battery-based Solar Energy Systems

2. Introduction to Solar Energy
“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power!
I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle
that.” Thomas Edison, 1931
The energy required for the entire planet for 24 years can be obtained by
sunlight in
We need Solar Energy, because of various reason like – Climate change,
Health issues and Increasing Utility power cost.
Solar can be designed or sized to supply power to DC and/or AC electrical
loads as per the various application demand.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy resources. Their supply is limited
and they will eventually run out.
just 24 hours.
5. WHY Off- Grid Solar
To achieve Complete Independence from external energy supply and
electricity cost to have power 24X7, even during no sunshine.
To Contribute to the environment for green energy without leaving
pollution foot print to save mother earth – A Go Green Concept.
ONLY option for Remote Location, where traditional grid power is NOT
available and cannot reach.
Solar’s carbon foot print is 25% lower than that of fossil fuel’s power
plant.
Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide when they burn, which adds to the
greenhouse effect and increases Global warming.

A solar inverter is an electronic device or circuitry that changes direct
current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The inverter does not produce any
power; the power is provided by the DC source. A power inverter can be
entirely electronic.
Solar inverters may be classified broadly into two types:
1. Stand-alone Inverters – Used in isolated systems, where the inverter
draws its DC energy from batteries charged by photovoltaic arrays.
2. Grid-tie Inverters – Designed to shutdown automatically upon loss of
utility supply, for safety reasons. They do not provide backup power
during utility outages.

16. Operation and Maintenance
Like any power plant, a Solar power plant requires proper Maintenance.
As Solar Power System becomes older, operation and maintenance
becomes more important for improved Output and Performance.
A well-maintained solar installation can actually perform 10 to 30% better.
Regular to analyze whether it is producing the amount of power for it
was designed.
On average, regular solar array cleaning will increase annual solar energy
production by 5 to 10%.
