The mobile solar power system (MSPS) uses solar panels and a wind turbine to charge batteries for energy storage. An inverter converts the DC power from the batteries to 120V AC power that can run common electronics. The MSPS includes custom solar panel mounts that hold 8 panels angled at 30 degrees, a 400W wind turbine on a 20-foot support structure, an 8 battery frame system that can expand to 24 batteries, and a 6kW inverter housed in a weatherproof system.

The document discusses replacing the existing 100 KVA diesel generator set with a new 400 KVA set at the KDM complex in Jodhpur. The existing set has several shortcomings like insufficient capacity, high noise and maintenance needs. The electrical load at the complex is around 311 KW. A 400 KVA set from Cummins with a QSN14 engine, 415V output, and less than 75dB noise is proposed. It would have lower fuel consumption and maintenance compared to the older 100 KVA set and meet the site's current power requirements.
Warehouse Evap System
Electronically commutated motors and evaporator fan speed controllers can reduce energy use in large warehouse walk-in coolers and freezers. ECMs are more efficient than standard induction motors due to fewer losses. They can be programmed for variable speeds to optimize efficiency based on compressor operation and temperature drop across evaporator coils. Installing these measures reduced energy use by 40% and annual savings by $1,484 at the site, saving over 13,000 kWh per year compared to standard permanent split capacitor motors.

Knowledge Electric Motors
Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical power by using magnetic fields to create torque. There are different types of electric motors that can operate using either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). Electric motors are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications as well as smaller domestic devices. The most widely used type of electric motor is the magnetic motor, which generates torque by establishing a magnetic field between a rotor and stator. Proper motor selection depends on factors like the torque and power requirements of the application.
Electrostatic heater treater
An electrostatic heater-treater is a vessel used in oil and gas production to separate oil-water emulsions using electrical charges. It has the same design as a horizontal heater-treater but includes an electrostatic grid in the coalescing-settling section. As the emulsion passes through the electrical field, water droplets become charged and collide with each other to form larger droplets that can settle out. Electrostatic treaters are preferred over standard heaters because they can more efficiently reduce water content to low levels and treat emulsions with high water content across a range of crude oil viscosities.
Small wind electric systems
Small wind electric systems can provide homeowners with renewable energy and lower electricity bills. They generally consist of a rotor, generator, tower, and other balance of system components like batteries or connections to the electric grid. The size of the turbine's rotor determines how much power it can produce, with systems ranging from under 1 kW for battery charging up to 300 kW for institutional use. Taller towers capture higher wind speeds but also increase costs and risk damage in hurricanes. Successful small wind projects in India have shown that depending on wind resources, homeowners can reduce their electricity bills by 50-90% with these systems.
motors_and_generators.ppt
Electric motors and generators operate based on the principles of electromagnetic induction. Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical motion, while generators convert mechanical motion to electrical energy. They both work by using magnetic fields to exert forces on electric currents or moving charges. The direction of these forces causes rotation, which is then harnessed to power other devices or generate electricity from mechanical inputs. Back-EMF is a reaction force that ensures conservation of energy during these conversions between electrical and mechanical domains. The efficiency of motors and generators depends on factors like resistance, friction, and how well the device's geometry maximizes the electromagnetic forces involved.

Solarpvsystems 160711173659
The document provides an introduction and overview of solar PV systems. It discusses the key components of solar PV systems including solar panels, batteries, charge controllers, and inverters. It explains how solar panels convert sunlight into electricity and the factors that affect their performance. The document also outlines the different types of solar systems including grid-tied, off-grid, and hybrid systems.

Rooftop Solar Systems
Rooftop solar systems are an off-grid solution for rural electrification that involve solar panels, charge controllers, storage batteries, and inverters. The solar panels convert sunlight to electricity that is stored in batteries. An inverter then converts the stored energy to AC power to run loads like AC units, TVs, refrigerators, and computers without needing a connection to the electric grid. Designing a rooftop solar system involves determining the daily load, selecting appropriately sized solar panels, batteries, and inverter based on the load and site conditions like sunlight hours and panel placement.

The document provides information on the design and components of grid-connected and stand-alone solar photovoltaic systems.
It discusses the key components of grid-connected PV systems including solar panels, inverters, meters, mounting structures and how these systems can be connected to the grid. The advantages and disadvantages of grid-connected systems are also summarized.
The document then covers the components, configurations and design considerations for stand-alone or remote area power supply systems which are not connected to the grid and instead use batteries to store solar-generated electricity. It discusses sizing these off-grid systems based on reliability factors like loss of load probability.
Grid connected pv solar power plant
A grid connected photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant is described. It works by converting sunlight into direct current electricity via solar panels. The electricity is then converted to alternating current by an inverter and fed into the electric grid. When more electricity is produced than needed, it is supplied to the grid. At night or when not producing, power comes from the main grid. There are three main types of solar grids: grid tied without storage, grid interactive with battery storage, and off grid with battery storage. Grid tied systems directly supply the grid, hybrid systems store excess power, and off grid systems are independent of the grid with batteries. Advantages are low operating costs and clean energy production while disadvantages include initial costs and

The document discusses three main types of solar power systems: on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid. On-grid systems are connected to the electricity grid and can export excess solar energy for credits. Off-grid systems require battery storage since they are not connected to the grid. Hybrid systems combine solar and battery storage, allowing use of stored solar energy and connecting to the grid as a backup.
