These days, we are encountering a power shortage we are encountering a Lead in lack as well. So the battery producing cost and coming about end client costs are high as can be additionally lack of batteries in the market. We are additionally encountering a climb in fuel costs extensively, will undoubtedly go on as time pass by as soon we will be lack of fuel as well. In any case, we are at any rate taking its thought and with this we are attempting to place a novel idea in the market. The sunlight based train is a stage in sparing these non sustainable wellsprings of vitality. In India where climate is generally radiant and daylight is accessible entire year, it’s an excellent plan to utilize sun based vitality with the end goal of transportation. We propose a power supply framework appropriate for open transportation. In this framework sun based cells are introduced on the housetop of the trains. We Provide sunlight based boards on the top of the mentor to legitimately charge the capacity battery mounted under threw at each mentor. There are numerous questions about feasibility and materialness of such arrangements Nowhere in any of the railroads world over, self-producing mentors are in administration, in this manner, there is no plausibility of preparing the made innovation from abroad and must be attempted and created in India as it were. The created nations are as of now testing utilization of sun powered power for street vehicle and airplane, which gives certainty for its feasibility. Bendable sunlight based boards which can be stuck on the mentor rooftop without influencing most extreme moving measurement will fill the need. 3 | P a g e CHAPTER 1 1. INTRODUCTION Vitality is one of the most indispensable requirements for human endurance on earth. We are reliant on one type of vitality or the other for satisfying our needs. One such type of vitality is the vitality from petroleum derivatives. We use vitality from these hotspots for creating power, running cars and so on. In any case, the fundamental drawbacks of these non- renewable energy sources are that they are not ecological inviting and they are expendable. A few introductory plan might be consider a typical spot to begin is with the state of the train since it will direct the structure of numerous other framework starting planning idea are additionally created for undercarriage plan mechanical framework structure, electrical framework configuration, driving train structure and sun powered cluster plan that show guarantee are explored further so configuration can be think about through exchange of concentrates the idea must be disposed of until a last structure can be an insatiability upon there are numerous variables to consider to each plan, for instance: • Weight • Efficiency • Speed Information about sun powered cluster likewise significant on the grounds that the exhibit is comprised of numerous photovoltaic sun based cell that convert sun vitality into power the cell types and the elements of the cluster relies upon the vehicle size and class.

    1 Myingyan Degree College Research Journal Vol .8, 2017 Study and Analysis on Composition Sakkarajs of Three Eigyins of Taungngu Period Tin Oo* Abstract This paper deals with the study and analysis on the composition sakkarajs (Myanmar Era) of such eigyins (classical poems addressed to a royal child extolling the glory of ancestors) as MintayarmedawEigyin, Minyekyawzwar Son Eigyin and Thakhingyi Eigyin appeared in Taungngu Period. This paper reveals the differences in the traditional specifications with regard to the composition sakkarajs of these eigyins comparing and conferring with the chronicles. Introduction The eigyingabyar (classical poem addressed to a royal child extolling the glory of ancestors; the verse begins and ends with the word ‘‘ei’’) is a kind of long ‘‘teigabyar’’(song verse or poem) soothing the royal child. It is a poem composed for the royal sons, daughters and lineages in infancy and beyond infancy. It is also a poem composing with ‘‘ei’’ k ranta or karyan (vowel sound of the letter; rhyma) at the end. The subject matters are the patriotism stimulating performances of the royal great- grandfather, royal father and royal relatives worthy of the highest praise composing eigyin. Therefore, it may be said that eigyin poem is a kind of ‘‘zartiman’’(national spirit; pride of one’s race and nation; pride of one’s lineage) literature capable of stimulating the zartithwei- zartiman (national spirit; hereditary pride and courage; patriotism). It may be designed as a kind of literature with historical value as it is like the contemporary record of that period. Throughout the history of Myanmar literature, 67 eigyins are found.

College of Engineering (A), Visakhapatnam, India. 4 Centre for Nano Science and Technology (CNST) , G.V.P. College of Engineering(A),Visakhapatnam, India. Abstract: Current solar power technology has little chance to compete with fossil fuels or large electric grids. Today’s solar cells are simply not efficient enough and are currently too expensive for large-scale electricity generation. However, potential advances in nanotechnology may open the door to the production of cheaper and slightly more efficient solar cells. Specifically, the topics that will be discussed in this review article include nano structured inorganic materials for photovoltaic applications. Solar cells require having a large specific surface area so that sufficient dye molecules and quantum dots can be adsorbed onto the inorganic materials. These absorbed materials act as antennae for optical absorption. The most outstanding advantage of nanostructures is their ability to create architectures with significantly larger internal surface area in view of their nano-scaled size. This feature of nanostructures enables them to be suitable for use in devices such as dye- sensitized solar cells, lithium ion batteries, super capacitors, and hydrogen storage systems. This review summarizes some of the important aspects and latest developments regarding applications of nano structured materials for energy conversion and storage.

  • Module-5 Unit-5 NSNT R&D on Photovoltaic Or Solar Cell
    Module-5_Unit-5_NSNT R&D on Photovoltaic or Solar cell Introduction A solar or photovoltaic cell (also known as ‘solar battery’) is electrical device used to convert energy from light into electrical energy. The working of solar cell is based on photovoltaic effect, which is a physicochemical process. It is a type of photoelectric cell, which can be described as the device whose electrical properties (e.g., resistance, current, etc.) change as light is exposed onto it. Large scale photovoltaic modules are termed as solar panels, and are made up of numerous solar cells. Figure 1 A traditional solar panel made up of silicon. Electrical contacts (silver-colored strips) are printed on the wafer. Regardless of the source, whether sunlight or artificial light, solar cells are termed as photovoltaic. They can be used as photodetectors to detect light or any electromagnetic wave in the visible range, examples include infrared detectors. Besides, solar cells can also be used to measure the intensity of the light incident on them. A photovoltaic cell operates on the following three attributes: • Excitons or electron-hole pairs are generated on absorption of light. • The charge carriers are separated as electrons and holes. • The separated charge carriers are collected at their respective electrodes, i.e., electrons at the positive electrode, and hole at the negative electrode. In addition to this, a solar thermal collector can be used for direct heating or indirect generation of electrical power from the heat generated. In these devices, heat is supplied when sunlight is absorbed. Further, a photoelectrolytic or photoelectrochemical cell is ether a type of photovoltaic cell (similar to dye-sensitized solar cells developed by Edmond Becquerel) or a device which directly splits water into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen by using solar irradiation.

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: As we all know that electricity is very essential to us now days. It is very difficult for us to survive without electricity, with the help of electricity we are able to drive so many machines which are helpful to us but the biggest problem is that what happens if the coal is exhausted? Because most of the electricity is generated by burning of coal in power plants. Although burning of fossil fuels are the main cause of air pollution but there are many other ways to generate electricity for example: Turbines, Windmills, Solar cells etc. Our main focus is the use of solar cell, as the sun is the ultimate source of energy but we are able to consume only 1/10,000th part of sun’s energy. If we are able to consume its power more efficiently then we are able to solve so many problems of our planet without polluting the environment. Now days we are able to consume only Twenty percent of energy at most by CdTe solar panels but with the help of infrared plastic solar cell we can make it 30 percent more efficient, even the best plastic solar cells efficiency is only 6 percent.

The double-stage structure which can realize high efficiency with nice regulated sinusoidal waveforms is the mainstream for the micro-inverter. This thesis studied a double stage micro-inverter system. Considering the intermittent nature of PV power, a PFC was analyzed to provide additional electrical power to the system. When the solar power is less than the load required, PFC can drag power from the utility grid. In the double stage micro-inverter, the DC/DC stage was realized by a LLC converter, which could realize soft switching automatically under frequency modulation. However it has a complicated relationship between voltage gain and load. Thus conventional variable step P&O MPPT techniques for PWM converter were no longer suitable for the LLC converter. To solve this problem, a novel MPPT was proposed to track MPP efficiently.
