The main goal of this project is to verify precise solar tracker. The project is split into 2 parts; hardware and software system. Hardware part generally composed of solar panel, Servo motors with gearbox, LDR sensor module, RTC and electronic circuit. Software half represents the thinking behavior of the system, that is how the system acting under several weather conditions. In this work sensing of the sun position carried out in two stages primary and secondary. Primary stage or indirect sensing performed via sun-earth relationship as a rough adjustment and second stage or direct sensing performed via set of LDR sensors as output standardization to trims the azimuth and altitude angles. If the weather is cloudy or unclean, the tracking system uses primary stage or sun-earth geometrical relationships only to identify the location of the sun; so the system tracks the position of the sun regardless the atmospheric phenomenon. The energy extracted from photovoltaic (PV) or any solar furnace depends on star irradiance. For maximum extraction of energy from the sun, the solar collector panel should always be normal to the incident radiation solar trackers moves the solar collector to follow the sun path and keeps the orientation of the solar collector at an optical tilt angle. Solar trailing system improves considerably the energy potency of electrical phenomenon (PV) panel. In this paper, an automatic dual axis solar tracking system is designed and developed using Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) and DC motors on a mechanical structure with gear arrangement. Two-axis star trailing (azimuth angle similarly as altitude angle) is enforced through Arduino UNO controller supported Sun-Earth pure mathematics. The results indicated that the automated star trailing system is additional reliable and economical than mounted one.

The Caesar Cipher set of rules for cryptography is one of the oldest algorithms. Now a great deal newer algorithms have arrived which might be plenty greater at ease, however in terms of velocity of execution Caesar cipher set of rules remains the quickest as a result of its simplicity. However the algorithm is extraordinarily smooth to crack. This is because on this set of rules each individual of a message is usually replaced by means of the equal constant individual that has been predetermined. To enhance the algorithm and enhance it is safety feature, some adjustments may be brought. This paper proposes an enhancement to the present algorithm by using making use first of a easy Diffie-Hellman key trade scenario to achieve a mystery key and later using simple arithmetic to make sure the encryption of statistics is tons extra safer. as soon as a personal shared key is obtained through utilising the Diffie-Hellman method, the secret is concern to the mod operation with 26 to gain a price much less than or identical to 26, then the contemporary person is taken and to this the key value acquired is brought to achieve a new character. For any individual within the x function the secret is genuinely first accelerated with x after which mod is executed to obtain the encrypted man or woman. So 2d man or woman of the message is expanded with 2, 1/3 person with three and so on. This enhances the safety and also does now not boom the time of execution through a big margin.

The point of convergence of this paper on reverse power flow protection for generator. The unprejudiced of this interpretation is to examine of reverse power provisos of the of the power plant generator. This paper for sooth presents modeling of reverse power. Now the fast serviceable differential relay is expedient particularly for such type of fault which lead to system back out. When more than one units are operating at a same time at that time if suddenly fault is occur due to same region ex.- over current, over voltage or fault in turbine, because of this region the generator get faulty due to reverse power. The reverse power is the power from common bus bar. When one unit becomes abnormal condition but at a same time another units are continuously in working condition. So the normal units are continuously supplying the power this power is reverse power for abnormal unit, but our fundamental need is to protect the generator so the relay system is used.

The energy from conventional sources has its limitation hence there is need to harness Energy from non-conventional sources. The purpose of the project is to ensure the raise in speed of wind turbine blades by increasing the wind velocity specially for low wind speed area where the average speed of wind is 1.5 m/s. In Venturi Wind Turbine the air comes from inlet section with less velocity, it flows from venturi passage. Due to continuous reducing area of cross section of venturi the pressure drop takes place. At the Throat the velocity of air is maximum, this wind then strikes on blades of Turbine, so blades moving with highest speed. The main advantage of the project is we can install the venturi on smaller windmill which are used for household application and we can install this system even where the wind velocity is less. The analysis of venturi wind turbine is done by CFD. The analysis gave indication that the velocity of turbine is increased because of venturi.

Large-scale land reclamation projects have been carrying out for the past decades. Aside from the availability of the landfill materials which normally use sands or hill-cut materials, dredged materials can be used for the land reclamation. Utilizing the dredged or excavated marine clay for land reclamation becomes more popular. The dredged materials can’t be used directly due to its very low strength parameters; hence it should be treated with proper additives, thereby supporting construction purposes. In this study, Vizhinjam dredged soil is considered and its geotechnical properties are determined. A series of of laboratory tests (Compaction tests, Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests and California bearing ratio (CBR)) were conducted on soil specimens added with various percentages of lime and then optimum amount of lime along with different proportions of fly ash by the weight of dry soil. The test result reveals that the optimum content of admixture for achieving maximum strength is approximately 6% lime along with 10% fly ash of the dry weight of the soil.
