Abstract

The fundamental principle of the paper is that the soil moisture sensor obtains the moisture content level of the soil sample. The water pump is automatically activated if the moisture content is insufficient, which causes water to flow into the soil. The water pump is immediately turned off when the moisture content is high enough. Smart home, smart city, smart transportation, and smart farming are just a few of the new intelligent ideas that internet of things (IoT) includes. The goal of this method is to increase productivity and decrease manual labour among farmers. In this paper, we present a system for monitoring and regulating water flow that employs a soil moisture sensor to keep track of soil moisture content as well as the land’s water level to keep track of and regulate the amount of water supplied to the plant. The device also includes an automated led lighting system.

Abstract

This review article provides an overview of various types of fuel cells that are currently being researched and developed. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy, making them a promising technology for clean and efficient energy production. The review covers the principles of operation and key characteristics of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), alkaline fuel cells (AFCs), direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), and microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The article also discusses the advantages and limitations of each type of fuel cell, as well as the current research and development efforts aimed at improving their performance and reducing their costs. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of the various types of fuel cells and their potential applications in the field of energy production.

Abstract

A high gain DC-DC converter is the crucial part in renewable energy systems (RES) and in electric vehicular systems. The reliability of those high-gain converters needs to be assessed for the long-term operation of renewable energy systems. This article presents the reliability analysis of non-isolated high gain interleaved DC-DC converter. The analysis primarily relies on calculating the mean time between failures (MTBF). Based on military handbook (MIL-HDBK-217) criteria, the reliability calculation is performed. Stress factors and predicted failure rate for each component of presented converter is evaluated and tabulated. Reliability evaluation is performed for 1.5 kW hardware prototype. Based on reliability evaluation results, a reliable converter with better operating life time has been introduced.
