Solar energy is converted to electrical energy by photo-voltaic (PV) cells. This energy is stored in batteries during day time for the utilization purpose whenever required. This project is designed to use solar energy for household loads using an inverter. A solar inverter, or PV inverter, converts the direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-line electrical network. In this paper, the solar energy is stored in the battery from Photo-Voltaic cells. This stored energy of the battery is converted to AC supply of 50Hz frequency using PWM inverter IC with MOSFET gate driver IC to the driver MOSFET bridge and step-up the voltage by a transformer, all in off line network only but not grid tie type. For demo purposes a battery of SMF type of &.5 AH (not supplied it is generally used in small UPS) is required to be used as solar cells required would be of very high power type costing very high. Furthermore, this project can be added with a charge controller with over and under voltage protection and over load protection.

A Wastewater Collection System (WCS) collects and transports wastewater generated from households and industries to treatment plants or disposal sites by means of a system of underground pipelines. During the transportation process a periodic inspection and maintenance of sewer pipe must be performed particularly for aging pipes reaching or past its life expectancy since WCS components are prone to damage from aging, excessive traffic, and biochemical reactions. Clogged drainage systems are the major cause of pollution and frequent flooding in Metro cities especially during the rainy season. Thus, it is required to routinely monitor the condition of these drainage systems. The proposed system provides a way to monitor remotely drainage conditions and inform authorities of these conditions. Blockages in drainage systems are detected through monitoring of water levels inside the drainage. The design consists of water level sensors which read the water levels and the GSM module is used to wirelessly send this information back to a central server that monitors all drainages throughout the area. To overcome these problems, a wireless sensor network system that detects, identifies, and localizes major anomalies such as blockage and leakage that arise in steam flood and water flood pipelines in oilfields have been proposed.

Road pavements are vulnerable (weak) to soil performance because the foundation of the pavement is a roads most important element. And if the sub grade layer of pavement consists of expansive soil (black cotton soil), due to changes in moisture content and subsequent shrinkage and swelling, it undergoes failure. Thus, for the construction on such type of soil it is required to improve the engineering properties of soil or to replace the soil itself. Replacing the existing soil might not be a practical and feasible option, thus it is required to stabilize the soil with suitable stabilizer. However the selection of stabilizer depends upon the type of sub-grade soil, type of soil improvement desired, availability of stabilizer, the required strength and durability of stabilized layer, various stabilizing techniques, environmental conditions and the most important cost factor. This paper reviews the work of various researchers on stabilization of soil and use of geo-synthetic materials in improving its strength. The present study investigates the improvement in the bearing capacity of silty clay soil with thin sand layer on top and placing geogrids at different depths. Model tests were performed for a rectangular footing resting on top of the soil to establish the load versus settlement curves of unreinforced and reinforced soil system. The test results focus on the improvement in bearing capacity of silty clay and sand on unreinforced and reinforced soil system in non-dimensional form. The results show that bearing capacity increases significantly with the increased number of geogrid layers. The bearing capacity for the soil increases with an average of 16.67% using one geogrid layer at interface of soils.

Fingerprint is one of the most important thing while finding the identity of a person. The minutiae points in a fingerprint are used for matching the fingerprints. Now it has cleared that everyone has a different fingerprint, so we can identify two different persons from their fingerprints. Some algorithms are there for fingerprint matching but sometimes we get the fingerprints which are partial or not full at that time it is difficult to identify a person, for that purpose we need to implement this paper. In this we first reconstruct the fingerprint and then after reconstructing we go for matching so that we can identify the person. For matching we need database [flicker (SVM dB)]. For storing classes of fingerprint like whorl, left loop, right loop, tented arch and arch etc. We use some algorithms for reconstructing the fingerprint like Gaussian filtering, otsu binarization, Zang-suen algorithm etc. We also use some dictionaries while reconstructing such as orientation patch dictionary, continuous phase patch dictionary. However using different algorithms and techniques which are mentioned in this paper we can identify the person although his/her fingerprint is partial.

DC distribution systems have gained fame recently as they offer better efficiency, higher consistency and low cost as compared to ac distribution systems. They help in easier integration of renewable energy and its storage systems. But the main challenge faced by such dc distribution systems is the use of power electronic converters for integrating renewable sources into the dc bus. So a high-voltage-gain DC-AC converter is introduced in this paper. The converter consists of a two-phase interleaved boost converter on its input side and a Dickson charge pump based voltage multiplier on its output side so that it provides an output voltage of 400 V for an input voltage as low as 20V.The voltage multiplier circuit associated with the converter offers low voltage across the capacitors which potentially leads to reduction in size. The converter simulation results are obtained using MATLAB/ Simulink.

Spring is basically an elastic body whose purpose is to distort under loading conditions and consequently store energy and releases it slowly or rapidly depending on the particular application. The spring needs to be tested before its final assembly. For automotive springs, the most relevant performance characteristic is stiffness under load.. Stiffness of the spring means load required for unit deflection, it is also known as spring index and is main parameter for specification of springs. Springs like Compression helical spring, Tension helical spring, Leaf spring of various sizes and shapes are designed and manufactured. But to check their stiffness is very difficult unless we have such machine. Leaf spring Stiffness checking machine is useful for spring manufacturer as well as spring purchasers for checking the stiffness. It involves the designing and analyzing of leaf spring testing machine. The suspension mechanism in a automobile significantly affects the behavior of vehicle. Leaf springs are subjected to millions of varying stress cycles loading to fatigue failure. So, it becomes mandatory to check for the spring stiffness and its strength before it is installed to perform for any applications.

India is a country with abundant natural resources, and solar power is not left behind. In a recent document published by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), it has been established that India today receives more than 5,000 trillion kWh/year of solar radiation, which is far more than its total annual energy requirement. India has huge untapped renewable energy resource whose deployment must be accelerated. The aim of this project is to simulate and develop a controlling system which provides solar inverters AC power to the load connected to the grid, when the photovoltaic power is greater than the grid power, the load will work on the solar power. And when solar power is not sufficient it will work on grid power. If the load is off and photovoltaic power is available, the excess power is fed to the grid or we can sell this to other customer. With this approach we can reduce the use of power from the grid and even sell back the excess power to grid. This system can be guaranteed to access power at home or industry, even if the solar energy fails or is insufficient and reduce the Energy Consumption and give a reliable support to the Grid.
