    The project deals with use of alternative energy resource for power generation which can be used to supply power in domestic application. Solar energy is a very large, inexhaustible source of energy and Green Energy System. Solar energy has a major advantage for no impure outlets but problem associated with solar is less efficiency and high cost. The power from the sun intercepted by the earth is approximately 1.8x1011MW, which is many thousand times larger than the present consumption rate on the earth of all commercial energy sources. Solar tracking system can be used as a power generating method from sunlight. This method of power generation is simple and is taken from natural resource. This needs only maximum sunlight to generate power. This project presents for power generation and sensor based solar tracking system to utilize the maximum solar energy through solar panel by setting the equipment to get maximum sunlight automatically in real time. This proposed system is tracking for maximum intensity of light. When there is decrease in intensity of light, this system automatically changes its direction to get maximum intensity of light. The proposed method is to design an electronic circuit to sense the intensity of light and control the DC motor driver for the panel movement, and construct a Buck- Boost converter for to step up and step-down the voltage, and store the maximum utilized output voltage in Lead-Acid Battery.

    DC-Link voltage control technique for single phase two stage photovoltaic grid-connected system
    (AIKTC, 2017-05) Upadhyay, Ankur; Sharma, Amarkant (13EE54); Shaikh, Abdul Khalid (13EE46); Shaikh, Mohd. Usmangani (13EE49); Khoja, Faiyaz (13EE31)
    Control techniques, applied to single-phase two stage grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems, mainly achieve functions of maximum power point tracking (MPPT), voltage adjustment at inverter DC-link, and grid current control. Conventional control techniques require measurements of PV voltage and current, DC-link voltage, and grid voltage and current. In this paper, conventional technique is proposed which keeps PV sensors, but eliminates the expensive high DC link voltage sensor by mitigating the inverter DC-link voltage control loop. Alternatively, voltage regulation at inverter DC link is achieved through power balance guarantee at this link. Hence, control complexity is minimized and system stability is enhanced. Moreover, the entire system implementation is simplified and its dynamic response is improved during sudden irradiance changes. Simulation work is carried out to verify the effectiveness of conventional one regarding their transient and steady-state performance under varying irradiance conditions.

    Dual channel marx generator
    (AIKTC, 2020-05) Upadhyay, Ankur; Khan, Bushra (16EE01); Fodkar, Maaz (17DEE47); Maurya, Sandeep (17DEE54); Mazumdar, Akash (17DEE55)
    Marx generators can produce high voltage pulses using multiple, identical stages that operate at a fraction of the total output voltage without the need for a step-up transformer that limits the pulse risetimes and lowers the efficiency of the system. Each Marx stage includes a capacitor or pulse forming network and a high voltage switch. Typically, these switches are spark gaps resulting in Marx generators with low repetition rates and limited lifetimes. The development of economical, compact, high voltage, high di/dt, and fast turn-on solid state switches makes it easy to build economical, long lifetime, high voltage Marx generators capable of high pulse repetition rates. We have constructed a Marx generator using our 24 kV thyristor-based switches, which are capable of conducting 14 kA peak currents with ringing discharges at > 25 kA/μs rate of current risetimes. The switches have short turn-on delays, less than 200 ns, low timing jitters and are triggered by a single 10 V isolated trigger pulse. This project will include a description of a 4-stage solid state Marx and triggering system.

    Trees naturally convert the carbon dioxide into oxygen. But today because of Greed Selfish Humans are cutting trees and forests and on that place we humans are building white cement forest. Thus we humans are not getting pure air. Population is increasing and number of tress are decreasing , just like mad society people are cutting tress after tress , even they are cutting hills to build a building to earn money.Co2 is not good for humans but Trees convert water into oxygen which we humans need to survive. This will lead to Global warming problems, Acid Rain, respiratory disease many more. But do not worry now Artificial Trees will do this Job in future.Research and experimentation on the concept of lighting; innovation and technology in the utilization and control of light; extreme attention to eco-compatible materials and to environmental needs in general; a deeply rooted vocation for fine design: these are the values that distinguish Arsenide and the principles that underlie this new concept of public lighting.

    Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, was discovered in 1960. Laser light beam is different from normal light beam because of its high temporal and narrow spectral bandwidth. Here amplification of light is achieved by a laser active medium (gain medium). This medium is obtained by stimulated emission of photons from a lower energy state to a higher energy state previously populated by a pump source. In order to start the lasing active in the medium it must be in no thermal energy distribution known as population inversion.

    Liquid solar array PV concentrator
    (AIKTC, 2016-05) Upadhyay, Ankur; Chaudhary, Israr (11EE14); Khan, Tanveer (11EE56); Ziyahul, Haque (11EE34); Shaikh, Junaid (11EE41)
    PV concentrators appear to offer significant potential saving cost. However, to date the potential saving have not yet realized due to complexities arising mainly from the mass of the physical structure needed to provide adequate support from the concentrator, cells and tracking mechanism in adverse weather condition. This report shows a mean whereby all major limitations, and cost, may be considered reduced by adopting a configuration, termed the “Liquid Solar Array” (LSA) where each element of floating array comprises a raft supporting solar tracking lens in partially-submerged water cooled PV cell assembly. An important feature of LSA is that lens can be submerged in windy conditions thereby reducing structural requirements in comparison to PV concentrator cell arrays. The paper shows that the LSA structural cost saving outweigh the cost any associated complications and lead to a projected capital cost of under US$1 per watt. The LSA mimics techniques employed by some plants that lie down to accommodate the wind, and others such as the Lotus flower that emerge from the water completely dry.

    Ultrafast acting electronic circuit breaker
    (AIKTC, 2020-05) Upadhyay, Ankur; Ansari, Humais (17DEE39); Kazi, Yasir (17DEE51); Khatri, Faiz (17DEE53); Shaikh, Mohd Wasi (17DEE67)
    - The smart ultra fast electronic circuit breaker is designed to work as an over current protection device. Conventional circuit breakers like miniature circuit breaker or a fuse is good at breaking the circuit when a short circuit fault occurs. But when an overload fault occurs, the tripping time is slow and depends on the percentage of overload. However, for sensitive loads it is very important to activate the tripping mechanism at the shortest possible time, preferably instantaneously. This project senses the current passing through a series element and the corresponding voltage drop is rectified to dc. This voltage is converted into a digital value and compared against a preset value by a microcontroller to generate an output that drives a relay to trip the load. The unit is extremely fast and overcomes the drawback of the conventional circuit breakers. It uses a PIC Microcontroller. The breaker will automatically reclose if itis a temporary fault and will alert the consumer via SMS if the fault is due to overloading. Furthermore, the breaker can be remotely closed by sending an SMS

    (AIKTC, 2017-05) Upadhyay, Ankur; Bangi, Aqdas; Shaikh, Shahir; Shaikh, Tarik; Khot, Khizar
    Many electricity transmission companies across the world and Ghana in particular are continuously looking for ways to utilize modern technologies, in order to improve reliability of power supply to consumers. These transmission companies manly relies on circuit indicators (FCIs) to assist in locating specific spots within their transmission lines where power fault had occured. In this paper, a smart GSM based fault detection and location system was used to adequately and accurately indicate and locate the exact spot where fault had occured. This will ensure a shorter response time for technical crew to rectify these faults and thus help save transformers from damage and disasters. The system uses a current transformer, a voltage transformer, 8051 Series Micro-controller, RS-232 connector, and a GSM modem. The system automatically detects faults, analyses and classifies these faults and then, calculates the fault distance from the control room using an impedance-based algorithm method. Finally the fault information is transmitted to the control room. In conclusion, the time required to locate a fault is drastically reduced, as the system automatically and accurately provides accurate fault location information.
