“…Although in-built temperature controller is not commonly found with modular or standalone SAH, prospects of using various control strategies in solar thermal applications are studied by researchers for energy conservation purpose (Santamouri 1986;Pasetti and Normey-Rico 2014;Moon et al 2011;Tahat et al 2011;Kumar and Kurian 2014;Azzouzi et al 2011;Hasan et al 2011;Tasnin and Choudhury 2015). Beizaee et al (2015) reports the potential of zonal heating control (ZC) systems in UK houses in reduction in fuel used for space heating.…”

Space heating appliances require significant amount of primary as well as secondary energy. In most of the countries, energy requirements for such utilities are met by burning fossil fuel or from conventional electricity. Such usual practices for space heating result in significant increase in greenhouse gas emission and fossil fuel depletion. In the line of global emphasis on energy conservation and switch-to-clean energy approach, solar thermal energy can be harnessed using solar air heater for space heating purpose. This paper studies the potential of using solar air heater in space heating applications. Associated critical issues like demand-supply mismatch, installation space constraint, annual utilization factor and undesirable variations in output temperature are highlighted. Further, current research trends toward improving applicability of solar air heater are also briefly discussed.

“…We arrange the one programmed senor module detect the temperature and soil moisture level and send this data to microcontroller. Water level sensors also observe the water level and send the data to the microcontroller unit [1][2][3]. Based on the sensor alerts microcontroller unit decide whether motor is on or off.…”

Many people are using non renewable energy sources in high amount of their needs. Some Minerals are exhausting with the high usage, so it is obvious to depend on the renewable sources like solar & wind etc. In this paper a solar energy based water pump system with different time slots are proposed. The solar energy is converted into electrical energy by photovoltaic cells and it charges the battery. During Day time battery stores the energy. In this project AT89S52 microcontroller are used. For this microcontroller the program is written for giving different time slots. One 16*2 LCD display is using to see the status of system. For adjusting contract display one variable resistor called ‘preset’ is used. One sensor is used to observe the water level and to send data back to the microcontroller. The manual ON/OFF control of the system can be avoided with this sensor. This is a new method to operate motor / machine for a small duration. Buzzer gives a beep sound. A transistor is used to drive the relay during on time period; relay is used to control the pump. A switching diode is used to control the reverse EMF. The proposed system has the advantage of automatic switch off for the given time. This will be the one of best solutions for smart solar irrigation for farmers. In addition, this solar system controls the flow of water across the field.
