Nowadays the importance and dependence on solar power source is remarkably increasing as there is a strong need to have clean, cheap and renewable energy compared with other types of energy sources. In this paper, we present a complete design and analysis of an electronic circuit that can be used for optimum solar energy absorption and tracking. The proposed electronic circuit will accurately track the sun light and face the solar panel in the direction of maximum solar energy absorption. The presented design starts with an array of light intensity photo sensors (Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)) followed by a number of processing steps to finally deliver a suitable dc voltage for driving a dc motor, which is required to move and align the solar panel to the direction of maximum solar intensity. There is a continuous controlling and tracking functions using the light intensity information from the three photo sensors. The presented design is implemented using an Op-Amp and general purpose electronic components without a requirement to any special purpose electronic item for tracking. The design also provides an ability of monitoring the various stages using a number of LEDs distributed along the parts of the electronic circuit.

This study presents a noncontact electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement system to replace conventional ECG electrode pads during ECG measurement. The proposed noncontact electrode design comprises a surface guard ring, the optimal input resistance, a ground guard ring, and an optimal voltage divider feedback. The surface and ground guard rings are used to reduce environmental noise. The optimal input resistor mitigates distortion caused by the input bias current, and the optimal voltage divider feedback increases the gain. Simulated gain analysis was subsequently performed to determine the most suitable parameters for the design, and the system was combined with a capacitive driven right leg circuit to reduce common-mode interference. The present study simulated actual environments in which interference is present in capacitive ECG signal measurement. Both in the case of environmental interference and motion artifact interference, relative to capacitive ECG electrodes, the proposed electrodes measured ECG signals with greater stability. In terms of R–R intervals, the measured ECG signals exhibited a 98.6% similarity to ECGs measured using contact ECG systems. The proposed noncontact ECG measurement system based on capacitive sensing is applicable for use in everyday life.

The Impact

Generally, unmanned aerial vehicles and micro aerial vehicles depend on batteries or conventional fuel as a source of energy. These sources of energy have limited flight time, relatively high cost, and also a certain level of pollutants. Solar energy applied to aerial vehicles is an excellent alternative way to overcome other sources of energy’s disadvantage. This study aimed to design a solar-powered aerial vehicle to achieve continuous flight on Earth. The efficiency of the solar system is related to the absorbed sun rays. The concept of an anti-symmetric N-shaped morphing wing is a good idea to increase the collected solar energy during the daily sun path. But this comes with the penalty of side forces and moments due to the anti-symmetry of the wing. This paper introduces a study for two parameters that strongly affect the aerodynamics of the N-shaped morphing wing; the dihedral part angle and the dihedral part length. The impact of the dihedral angle decreases the lift coefficient and increases the drag coefficient. The impact of the morphing wing on the aircraft performance is also considered.

The Difference

People can make solar energy alternative energy by employing solar panels to generate electricity. The utilization of solar energy on a solar panel to generate electricity is affected by the weather and the duration of the radiation, and they will affect the solar panel’s temperature. There are various types of solar panels that can be found on the market today, including Mono-Crystalline and Poly-Crystalline. The difference in the material used needs to be observed in terms of temperature changes in the solar module. Our study’s findings showed that a change in the temperature would impact the solar panel’s output voltage, and the solar panel’s output voltage would change when it was connected to the load although the measured temperatures were almost the same.

Two Parameters

An analysis of statistical data of diagnostic measurements of two parameters determining the performance of the RBMK-1000 SHADR-8A flowmeters – the minimum value of the negative amplitude half-wave at the transistor flow measuring unit (TIBR) input and the mean-square deviation over the flowmeter ball rotation period – made it possible to develop a mathematical model of the flowmeter parametric reliability. This mathematical model is a random process, which is a superposition of two delayed renewal processes. Studying the flowmeter operational reliability model provides an exponential estimate of the probability that the parameters determining the flowmeter performance will not exceed the specified levels. Using the Bernoulli scheme and the probability-estimating relationship for the flowmeter performance parameters, it is possible to calculate the probability of failure-free operation of both a single reactor quadrant and the coolant flow measurement system. In addition, it becomes possible to estimate the quadrant failure rate. Important for practice is the possibility of predicting the number of failed flowmeters depending on the system operation time. An indicator of the system reliability can be the average number of failed flowmeters, the relation for which is given in the paper. All the research results were obtained without any additional assumptions about the random values distribution laws. The obtained results can be easily generalized for the cases when the vector dimension of the determining parameters is greater than two. The use of the results of this study is illustrated by calculated quantitative values of the flowmeter parametric reliability indicators and the coolant flow measurement system.
