Abstract

This paper presents a dual-axis solar tracker using Arduino and LDRs. The aim of the proposed paper is to enhance the competence of solar energy harvesting by developing an intelligent solar tracking system. This system employs light-dependent resistors (LDRs) as sensors to detect ambient light levels, enabling precise adjustments of solar panels along both azimuth and elevation axes. The Arduino microcontroller serves as the intellect of the system, orchestrating the synchronized movement of dual-axis servo motors to align solar panels optimally with the sun's point during the day. The core functionality of the solar tracker involves real-time monitoring of LDR readings to calculate the solar azimuth and elevation angles. These angles are then used to situation the solar panels dynamically, ensuring they are constantly oriented near the sun for maximum energy absorption. The implementation of the dual-axis solar tracker using Arduino and LDRs offers several advantages, including increased energy output, better system efficiency, and a reduction in dependency on fixed solar installations. The low-cost and adaptable nature of the proposed system makes it suitable for various applications, such as residential solar installations, off-grid power systems.

Abstract

The design and implementation of this paper are mainly based on control of the autonomous firefighting robot. In recent years, robotics has turned out to be an ingredient in which many people have shown their interest. Robotics has gained popularity due to the advancement of many technologies of computing and nanotechnologies. The output of the fire sensor is connected to the Arduino controller that controls the movement of the vehicle and the operation of spraying water. An infrared sensing circuit is designed with the infrared sensors placed in front of the vehicle to avoid collision with the obstacles. A total of two inbuilt reduction geared direct current motors are used in the paper for the robot movement in all the directions forward, backward, right, and left directions. For more practicality, a small water tank with a pumping motor is also arranged over the chassis and the water sprinkler pipe that is firmly fixed over the plate where the sensor is arranged can deliver water with some force. When the sensor detects the fire, the sprinkler is positioned toward fire flames; the pumping motor will be energized automatically to extinguish the fire. The main advantage of the proposed system automatically controls the fire by using advanced control techniques.

Abstract

Fast charging technology has revolutionized the electric vehicle (EV) industry by addressing range anxiety and significantly reducing charging times. However, this convenience introduces challenges concerning battery longevity, as high charging currents and elevated temperatures accelerate battery degradation. This paper investigates the mechanisms through which fast charging impacts lithium-ion batteries, including thermal stress, lithium plating, and mechanical wear. It synthesizes findings from various studies, highlighting how fast charging can shorten battery lifespan by up to 20-30% compared to standard charging methods. Strategies to mitigate these effects, such as advanced materials, adaptive charging protocols, and efficient thermal management systems, are discussed. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the importance of standards and policies to promote sustainable fast charging practices. By balancing charging speed with long-term battery health, the EV industry can achieve widespread adoption while ensuring sustainability. This work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the trade-offs associated with fast charging and offers actionable insights for improving EV battery durability.
