    Introduction
    The Government of Kerala in the year 1988 established Centre for Development of
    Imaging Technology (C-DIT) with a vision to ensure advancement of research,
    development and training in imaging technology with an implied role in socially
    relevant science & development communication.
    Background
    The Government of Kerala has started the utilisation of renewable energy sources
    through structured approach. It is clear that the utilisation of solar energy can play a
    vital role to manage the crisis of energy in the state. The mission of our state is to
    increase the installed capacity of the solar sector in the state to 500 MW by 2017
    and 1500 MW by 2030. This mission generates large direct and indirect employment
    opportunities in the areas of solar and allied industries. In order to enable the
    deployment of solar PV systems in the state, there is a need for large number of
    trained people in the solar PV area. Creation of skilled and semi-skilled man power
    resources for installation and maintenance of the solar systems can be done through

    SOLAR TRAINING






    Power is vital for the development and sustenance of modern economy to eradicate
    poverty. The National Action plan on climate change identifies measures that promote our
    development objectives. Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission is one of the eight
    National missions which comprises India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change. The
    mission is to be implemented in three stages leading to an installed capacity of 20,000
    MW of grid power and 2000 MW of off- grid solar applications and 20 million sq.m. solar
    thermal collector area and solar lighting for 20 million households by the end of the 13th
    five year plan in 2022.
    Kerala has published a draft solar policy on February 27th 2013. This makes it the ninth
    Indian state to release a solar specific policy document. Under the draft policy, Kerala has
    set itself a target of an installed capacity of 500 MW by 2017 and 1,500 MW by 2030.
    Earlier, the state had initiated a 10,000 rooftop solar power programme. Kerala's new
    policy is unique in its focus largely on distributed power generation. Unlike the off-grid
    capital subsidy scheme under the NSM, the state will incentivize distributed solar through
    FiTs. Net-metering and a focus on grid interaction protocols will help tackle the grid
    stability issues (especially community grids that would be integrated with the state's 'no
    load-shedding'-campaign). This policy is a first step in the right direction and is expected
    to lead a significant development in India towards the implementation of net-metering and
    community grids. If properly implemented, this holds the potential to unlock the immense
    distributed generation potential of India. Solar Procurement Obligations (SPOs) will be
    mandated for commercial consumers with a connected load of more than 20 kVA and LT
    industrial consumers with more than 50 kVA. Also, SPOs will be applicable to all HT & EHT
    consumers. All HT and EHT consumers have to procure 3% of their power from solar until
    March 2014 and 6% from April 2014 onwards. In future, the SPO requirement will also be
    applicable for high consuming domestic customers, i.e., those with more than 500 kWh
    per month. In the last quarter (January to March 2013) 226.5 MW of solar PV capacity has
    been added in India. Plant costs for solar projects have fallen by 58% in the last three
    years. Solar power is already cheaper than grid power for commercial consumers in
    Maharashtra, Delhi and Kerala even without any subsidy. In 2016, industrial consumers in
    Maharashtra, Delhi, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Karnataka will
    achieve unsubsidized grid parity.
    The severe conventional power crisis has brought the focus on decentralised solar pv
    system. Solar PV is gaining importance in India and across the world. Hence it is felt
    necessary to build a common platform to create ample opportunities for business,
    education and policy making. Society of Energy Engineers and Managers(SEEM) and
    KITCO Ltd, with an objective of bringing potential power users, professionals,
    businesses, investors and academicians under one roof to facilitate better understanding
    and exchange of ideas, are jointly organising a one day “National Training Programme on
    Roof Top Solar PV”.
    All are invited to take part.

    SHADOW ALARM

    Shadow Alarm

    SHADOW ALARM 

    This opto-sensitive circuit sounds an alarm whenever a shadow falls on it. So it can be used at night by shopkeepers to protect the valuables in their showrooms. A dim lighting in the room is necessary to detect the moving shadow. Unlike opto-interruption alarms based on light-dependent resistors (LDRs), it does not require an aligned light beam to illuminate the photo-sensor.


    The circuit is powered by a 9V PP3 battery and uses the most sensitive photo-sensor L14F1 to detect shadows.It is portable and can be used at any place that is to be monitored. Op-amp μA741 (IC1) is used as a voltage comparator. Its inverting inputis biased by the voltage obtained from the junction of 100k resistor R1 and the collector of phototransistor T1. The non-inverting input of IC1 gets a controlled voltage from potential divider R2 and VR1.

    In the presence of ambient light, the photo transistor conducts and the inverting input (pin 2) of IC1 gets a lower voltage than its non-inverting input (pin 3). This makes the output of IC1 high, which is indicated by the glowing of LED1. When a shadow falls on the photosensor, the output of IC1 goes low. This low pulse triggers the monostable (IC2) designed for a delay of 51 seconds using R6 and C3. The output of IC2 is used to light up LED2 and activate the alarm.

    Slide switch S2 is used to select either the buzzer or siren. When it is towards left the buzzer beeps, and when it is towards right IC UM3561 (IC3) activates to give a loud alarm simulating a police siren. Resistor R8 and zener diode ZD1 provide 3.1V DC to IC UM3561. The circuit is easy to assemble as it requires only a few low-cost components. Enclose it in a cabinet with the photo-sensor inside. Drill a 5mm hole on the front panel of the cabinet to let ambient light fall on the photosensor. Adjust potmeter VR1 (47k) until LED2 stops glowing and the buzzer stops beeping while LED1 glows. This is the position of VR1 to be maintained for that particular intensity of light. LED1 will continue  to glow even when a shadow is detected.

    The circuit is now ready to use. To test it, move a paper in front of the unit. If LED2 glows along with the beep of the buzzer, it means that the photo-sensor has detected a shadow.
