Considering the abundant sunlight so as the insolation available over many months in the Indian sub-continent, renewable energy can be easily harvested using solar photovoltaic array to supplement the grid power. This work proposes such an arrangement through a battery less UPS system. The need for battery less UPS system arises since batteries used in the conventional UPS system have less life time and a major concern of environmental pollution. Considering a premises/ organization where there is a power back up facility like a diesel generator, the role of batteries in the UPS system is limited and used for only few seconds between the mains power failure and the turning on of generator. Hence for such short term power requirements, a Kinetic Energy based medium for storage such as fly-wheel based energy storage can be effectively utilized instead of the electrochemical batteries. Hence the combination of solar PV based power generation along with a battery less online power conditioning system to supply a critical load is the proposed in this scheme.

Aluminum is a metal matrix material which is widely used in different industrial as well as engineering applications.it has a great advantage due to its remarkable properties like less density, formability, and light in weight, recyclability and other properties. but, failure of aluminum matrix materials are the main problems in aluminum industries now a days.in this review role of aluminum and its alloys as matrix materials, their failure modes, causes of failure and optimization techniques to minimize this failure modes and causes of failure are discussed. Sources are reviewed which are from 2005 to recent one. Consequently, most modes of failure, causes of failure and most optimization techniques of aluminum and its alloy matrix materials are found. most modes of failure are mechanical related like fatigue failure, surface cracking, ductile failure, porosity formation, and stress related like stress corrosion cracking, surface weakness due to repeated stresses and other factors are summarized.in causes of failure mostly like corrosion formation, wear formation and poor mechanical properties are discussed.
