This Computer Aided Design for a PV System And Investigation Of 3 Phase Thyristor Converter project report is the brief description of Computer Aided Design, Pv System And Investigation and Thyristor Converter used to converts energy from the sunlight into electricity.  The report explains the details of energy conversion in two parts with different aspect of energy.

A photovoltaic cell converts energy from the sunlight into electricity. The radiation from the sun is made up of tiny particles of energy called photons. As these photons impact on the cell, some of them are absorbed into the cell. The energy from the photons on impact causes electrons to be free. The movement of the free electrons is what generates electricity.

A thyristor is a switching semi conductor device that is unidirectional, that is to say it can only conduct in a single direction. It can be seen that a thyristor is basically a combination of PNP and NPN bipolar transistors.  To make the thyristor conduct a voltage is applied at the gate which turns on the NPN transistor which in turn makes the PNP to start conducting. Once both transistors are ON, they remain ON until turned OFF. Due the mode of operation and behaviour as described earlier, thyristors are used in 3 phase rectified circuits. This type of rectifier using thyristors is referred to as line commutated controlled rectifier.

Conclusion:

A  PV system can be made to track maximum power point by incorporating a PI controller into the PV system. The PI controller adjusts the PV voltage based on the maximum power point. With properly tuned values of proportional gain and integral gain, the PI controller reduces ripples and improves transient response. In a 3 phase thyristor rectifier using 6 thyristors, the thyristors are triggered it sequence resulting in the formation of 6 pulse DC voltage waveforms.

The Project Report On Carriage And Wagon Workshop Dahod Carriage and Wagon Workshop Dahod is starts with detailed history of Dahod. The report explains about the purpose of selecting Dahod as carriage and wagon workshop and also given the construction details of workshop.

Originally, the workshop at Lower Parel (Bombay) was catering to the requirement of POH of locomotives, passenger carriages and freight cars of then Bombay, Baroda and Central India (BB&CI) Railway. With the increase in the train services, Lower Parel workshop was not able to cope with the arising of all the three types of rolling stock. Therefore, it was decided to shift locomotive POH activity from Lower Parel to some other place.

Dahod was selected for construction of POH workshop for steam locomotive fleet because of its pleasant weather, availability of cheap land and sincere workforce. Dahod is also ideally situated mid-way between Bombay and Delhi, the main route of BB&CI Railway broad gauge system.

The workshop has a versatile layout enabling it to tackle any type of engineering assignment. This workshop was indeed utilized for production of armament during the Second World War from October 1941 to August 1943 suspending locomotive repair activities, steam locomotive repair activities of BB&CI Railway were entrusted to GIP Railway’s workshop at Parel (Bombay) during War.

The workshop undertakes the periodic overhauling of two main types of coaches. The first category of the coach is known as the ICF design coaches. The second category of the coach is the LHB design coaches. The workshop is headed by the Chief Workshop manager. There are five departments dealing with various activities such as Mechanical, Electrical, Materials Management, Finance & Accounts, HRD, Audit and Security.

Project Report On Automatic Sun Tracking System – ASTS can be used for Parabolic Trough tracker, Dishes tracker, PV (Photovoltaic generator) tracker, Heliostat, Solar Furnace and so on. Even though the theory of the controller system is similar to all the applications, there are some differences: the precision requirement for dishes tracker is stricter than PV tracker, while the Heliostat and solar furnace need the strictest precision requirement, and more difficult to apply solar sensor to make a closed-loop control system. So, when design these systems, selection of motor type, controller type and tracking mode should be different.

ASTS is a hybrid hardware/software project.

The software includes:

• VB 6.0 based GUI.

• Microsoft Access Database.

• Embedded Software (written in C) for microcontroller AT89c52.

The hardware includes:

• Solar panel assembly structure containing six functional sensors, stepper motor and solar cells.

• System Control Unit containing LCD, Keypad, Error Indicators and Emergency Stop switch.

• Complete PCB containing two microcontrollers (89c52). First one is the Master Microcontroller which controls the automatic operation of ASTS. While second one the Slave Microcontroller serially communicates (RS232) with VB software in computer.

The project report discussed about the details of Motor Selection, Solar Sensor.  Computer Based Control Unit is completely software based control, written in VB 6.0. It incorporates a GUI (figure-10) and a Database, linked with Microsoft Access. Using this software the computer serially communicates (RS232) with the ASTS. The Slave microcontroller (89c51) of the system makes this communication successful.

Project Report On Automatic Sun Tracking System Conclusion:

Although ASTS is a proto type towards a real system, but still its software and hardware can be used to drive a real and very huge solar panel. A small portable battery can drive its control circuitry. Therefore by just replacing the sensing instrument, its algorithm and control system can be used in RADAR and moveable Dish Antennas.
