CHAPTER 2
INTRODUCTION
2.1 GENERAL
Fast rate of urbanization and increase in the consumption of electricity has

become a major problem in Tamil Nadu. Due to increase in consumption of electricity
the Tamil Nadu electricity board is unable to fulfill the requirements of the public and
industrial sectors .In Tamil Nadu, This is the major problem faced. Officials were
banking on a number of projects, which would generate 14,000 MW of power, from
thermal, nuclear and other power projects. Most of these should have been completed by
2012. But the projects have got delayed, with the KKNP turning out to be a big
challenge .Hence requirement has brought in new building technologies by utilizing the
renewable energy resources.
In housing aspects it is necessary to design the material adopted structurally in a

proportion with reference standard codes. Designing of building is the most essential
work to be proposed in any projects. Before starting the project it is necessary to prepare
layout and plan in a plot as per the Government Rules and Regulation for getting an
approval without any delay and to execute the project. Overall cost of the project should
be economical so estimation of building is very important. As a whole we have
incorporated all the needs for a building to be built with efficient, eco-friendly and
economic, also abiding by the Government Rules.
21
This project envisages the preparation of a Residential layout by incorporating the
Tamil Nadu Government rules and the preparation of a plan for a residential building in
a plot by using software AutoCAD. Finally this project will end up with the preparation
of an estimation of the prepared plan (Ref 1).

4.3 DESIGN OF SOLAR PANEL AND ITS COMPONENTS
4.3.1 Solar Power System Components
Brief revision of the major components found in a basic solar power system.
A basic solar powered system is shown in Figure 4.5
Fig.4.5 Working of solar panels

The solar panel consists of solar regulator it is connected to DC storage battery
and then DC is converted to AC by an inverter. AC can be directly used for the
appliances.
69
4.3.2 Working of solar panels
The solar panel converts sunlight into DC power or electricity to
charge the battery.
i. This DC electricity (charge) is controlled via a solar regulator which
ensures the battery is charged properly and not damaged and that power is
not lost/(discharged).
ii. DC appliances can then be powered directly from the battery.
iii. AC appliances need a power inverter to convert the DC electricity into
220 Volt AC power.
4.3.3 Description of individual solar power components
4.3.3.1 Solar Panels

Solar panels are classified according to their rated power output in Watts.
Different geographical locations receive different quantities of average peak sun hours
per day. As an example, in Tamil Nadu, the annual average is around 6am sun hours per
day. This means that an 80W solar panel based on the average figure of 6 sun hours per
day, would produce a yearly average of around 480W.H per day. Solar panel output is
affected by the cell operating temperature. Panels are rated at a nominal temperature of
25 degrees Celcius. The output of a solar panel can be expected to vary by 0.25% for
every 5 degrees variation in temperature.
4.3.3.2 Solar Regulator
The purpose of solar regulators, or charge controllers as they are also
called, is to regulate the current from the solar panels to prevent the batteries from
overcharging. Overcharging causes gassing and loss of electrolyte resulting in damage
to the batteries. A Solar regulator is used to sense when the batteries are fully charged
and to stop, or decrease, the amount of current flowing to the battery. Most solar
regulators also include a Low Voltage Disconnect feature, which will switch off the
supply to the load if the battery voltage falls below the cut-off voltage. This prevents the
battery from permanent damage and reduced life expectancy. Solar regulators are rated
by the amount of current they are able to receive from the solar panel or panels.
70
4.3.3.3 Power Inverter
The power inverter is the main component of any independent power system
which requires AC power. The power inverter will convert the DC power stored in the
batteries and into Ac power to run conventional appliances. There are three waveforms
produced by modern solid state power inverters. The simplest, a square wave power
inverter, used to be all that was available. Today, these are very rare, as many appliances
will not operate on a square wave. True Sine wave inverters provide AC power that is
virtually identical to, and often cleaner than, power from the grid. Power inverters are
generally rated by the amount of AC power they can supply continuously. Manufacturers
generally also provide 5 second and ½ hour surge figures. The surge figures give an idea
of how much power can be supplied by the inverter for 5 seconds and ½ an hour before
the inverter‟s overload protection trips and cuts the power.
4.3.3.4 Solar Batteries
Deep cycle batteries are usually used in solar power systems and are designed to
be discharged over a long period of time (e.g. 100 hours) and recharged hundreds or
thousands of times, unlike conventional car batteries which are designed to provide a
large amount of current for a short amount of time. To maximize battery life, deep cycle
batteries should not be discharged beyond 50% of their capacity. i.e. 50 % capacity
remaining. Discharging beyond this level will significantly reduce the life of the
batteries. Deep cycle batteries are rated in Ampere Hours (Ah). This rating also includes
a discharge rate, usually at 20 hours. This rating specifies the amount of current in Amps
that the battery can supply over the specified number of hours. As an example, a battery
rated at 120A.H at the 100 hour rate can supply a total of 120A.H over a period of 100
hours. This would equate to 1.2A per hour for 100 hours.
4.3.4 Designing of Solar Panel

Power rating of each appliance that will be drawing power from the system.

Power Invertor Sizing
Appliance total power draw = 3175 W
To provide a small buffer or margin your minimum size inverter choice should be
around 3500W.
A modified sine wave inverter with a 3500W continuous power rating will therefore
be your obvious choice in this specific solar system design.
Determining the Size And Number Of Solar Panels
Divide the total daily power requirement by the number of charge hours for that
geographic region eg. (8365×1.2)\6=1673 WATTS
250 Watt Solar Panel
Total watt/ 250 watt solar panel =
=7 PANELS
= 7 x 250 W panels.
Number of Batteries
250W panels produce 4.8Amps, thus 14x 4.8 A = 67.2A x 6 Hrs
= 403.2.Ah
105Ah batteries, should be discharged to no more than 50%, thus we divide total
amps by 105A x 50% = 50A.h
= 8.08 x 105Ah batteries.
For ease of possible 24V or 48V configuration, this would mean 3 in series of 3
batteries.
Size of Regulators
Let‟s say we had 20A regulators at our disposal.
One 250W panel produces around 4.8Amps.
The regulators are put in series
14 x 4.8A=67.2
So 14 solar panels would need 4 x 20 A solar regulators
.
Complete the solar power system

Well we have the following:
i. 7x2x 250W solar panels
ii. 4 x 20A solar regulators
iii. x 105A.H deep cycle batteries( 3 in series)
iv. 1 x 3500W modified sine wave power inverter
4.4 RATE ANALYSIS
Solar panels =Rs.32/W

Regulator = Rs 1800
Batteries = Rs 8000/series
Inverter = Rs 4800
Total Cost
Solar panels =14x250x32=Rs 112000
Regulator = Rs 1800
Batteries = Rs 8000x3=24000=Rs 24000
Inverter = Rs 4800
Total=112000+1800+24000+4800= Rs. 142600/-
The total cost of the solar panel is Rs. One lakh forty two thousand six hundred for
our residential building .In these solar panel cost is based on the solar panels, regulator,
batteries and inverter. The output of solar panel can be expected to vary by 0.25% for every 5
degrees variation in temperature.
In NZERB, decrease in temperature for using of hollow bricks and solar panels
produces the electricity. When compared to conventional building, the intial cost is high but
in future the electricity cost is reduced.
4.5 INFRARED THERMOMETER
ii
Fig.4.6 Infrared Thermometer
The instrument Infrared Thermometer is shown in Figure 4.6
I. An infrared thermometer is a thermometer which infers temperature from a
portion of the thermal radiation sometimes called blackbody radiation emitted
by the object being measured.
II. They are sometimes called laser thermometers if a laser is used to help aim the
thermometer, or non-contact thermometers or temperature guns, to describe
the device's ability to measure temperature from a distance refer Figure.4.6
III. By knowing the amount of infrared energy emitted by the object and
its emissivity, the object's temperature can often be determined.
IV. Infrared thermometers are a subset of devices known as "thermal radiation
thermometers".
V. The most basic design consists of a lens to focus the infrared thermal radiation
on to a detector, which converts the radiant power to an electrical signal that
can be displayed in units of temperature after being compensated for ambient
iii
temperature. This configuration facilitates temperature measurement from
a distance without contact with the object to be measured.
VI. Infrared thermometers can be used to serve a wide variety of temperature
monitoring functions. A few examples provided to this article include:
VII. Detecting clouds for remote telescope operation
VIII. Checking mechanical equipment or electrical circuit breaker boxes or outlets
for hot spots
IX. Checking heater or oven temperature, for calibration and control purposes
X. Detecting hot spots / performing diagnostics in electrical circuit board
manufacturing
XI. Checking for hot spots in fire fighting situations
XII. Monitoring materials in process of heating and cooling, for research and
development or manufacturing quality control situations
XIII. The distance-to-spot ratio (D:S) is the ratio of the distance to the object and
the diameter of the temperature measurement area. For instance if the D:S
ratio is 12:1, measurement of an object 12 inches (30 cm) away will average
the temperature over a 1-inch-diameter (25 mm) area. The sensor may have an
adjustable emissivity setting, which can be set to measure the temperature of
reflective (shiny) and non-reflective surfaces.
XIV. The most common infrared thermometers is the:
XV. Spot Infrared Thermometer or Infrared Pyrometer, which measures the
temperature at a spot on a surface (actually a relatively small area determined
by the D:S ratio).

CONCLUSION
5.1 CONCLUSION
In this project we has completed the design of the Conventional building by using
modular bricks and Net Zero Energy Residential Building by using Hollow Brick .The plan
of the building was prepared by Auto-Cad software. IS 456:2000 code book was used to
design Slab and Footing. Design of wall was done by using IS 1905:1987.
The Comparison of the Conventional Building and NZERB was completed by using
the parameters such as the temperature by using instrument infrared thermometer which was
found to be 4oC less in NZERB compared to conventional building under same condition.
Hence by using the renewable resources the impact on the active energy loads can be
reduced, Thus we can conserve electricity locally and globally.
5.2 FUTURE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The building designed as a NET ZERO ENERGY BUILDING produces its own
electricity, thus it can save a huge amount in electricity bill. These kind of buildings are
environmental friendly reducing the environmental hazards (eg. It would release zero carbon
content that would help in controlling global warming).The design for the building should be
such that the requirement of temperature regulation does not fluctuate throughout the year.
