Nowadays the field of applied mechanical systems opens new horizons for the use of orientation mechanisms. The opportunity to use mechanisms with a “sustainable purpose” leads to new approaches in the development of renewable energy systems design. In literature review many authors says the evaluation of the existing products shows that the tracking mechanisms for solar energy conversion systems may improve the efficiency of the solar energy conversion systems up to 30% to 50%. Applications of solar energy for domestic and industrial heating purposes are becoming very popular. However the effectiveness of presently used fixed flat plate collectors, photovoltaic panels and parabolic collector are low due to the moving nature of the energy source. This paper presents researches in the field of increasing the efficiency of the solar energy conversion by using tracking systems with flat plate collector of solar water heating system with the aim to change the position of the solar collector/solar panels correlated to the sun position for maximizing the use of beam radiation by real time digital tracking method. H.V. Byregowda et.al. optimized the interaction between the mechatronic system components by integrating the analog electronic system by using a 555 timer in the mechanical model by designing a single axis low cost tracking system of experimental model in order to reduce cost and show improvement in efficiency of tracking systems before beginning with the virtual prototype level. The work done by these authors was at chickballapur location in BGS R&D centre, SJCIT College. The result Obtained in their research work is that, the thermal efficiency was increased by 21% with tracking of manual method and by 24% with analog method of automatic tracking system. In the present work, a new method of tracking system has been developed electronically with solar water heating systems used in homes for water heating and Power utilization as multiple purpose domestic applications by adding real time clock (RTC) digital, microcontroller, DC motor, Electronics circuit board, batteries and photovoltaic panels along with water tank, flat plate collector which are existing at present in homes only for water heating applications. The results obtained in present work of digital tracking system the thermal efficiency of experimental working model of flat plate collector shows 30% increase when compared with tracking system and non tracking system.

To realize the efficient and stable real-time monitoring and intelligent management of the urban public lighting, the remote monitoring system is developed. The system is composed of monitoring center and monitoring terminals, and realizes network connection via the advanced remote wireless communication technology GPRS. It uses TI Company’s MSP430 processor chip as the monitoring terminal controller, which integrates automatic control, data acquisition, communication and other technologies and has such functions as monitoring, remote control, anti-electricity theft, remote meter reading and communication. It’s proved by practice that the designed controller features reliable running, sound real-time performance and low cost, and has a broad and bright application prospect. The monitoring and management of public lighting is a typical sector and important part of the civil work. Due to the continuous development of urban construction and ever-enlarging lighting coverage, the traditional lighting management methods can not realize centralized monitoring, have poor real-time performance and cost lots of human and material resources; thus, can not satisfy the requirements of energy saving and efficiency improvement[1]. GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), the wireless packet exchange technology based on the second generation mobile communication system GSM, is very suitable for transmitting non-continuous, unexpected and small sets of street lamp monitoring data. Also, quick & easy log-on, real-time online, high-speed transmission, sound economical efficiency and many other advantages make GPRS become the first choice for remote measurement and control system[2]. Therefore, the development of GPRS-based public lighting remote monitoring system becomes a necessity. The designed monitoring system in this article is a typical distributed monitoring and data acquisition system integrating computer technologies, modern communication technologies and automatic control technologies. It conducts centralized monitoring and control on the cabinet transformer substations, transformer cabinets, control cabinets and other slave monitoring systems of the public lighting such as street lamps and landscape lamps of the city, to realize the real-time, remote monitoring and intelligent management of public lighting and ensure the efficient, all-weather running and on-demand, energy-saving lighting.
