Abstract

A solar tracking system for renewable energy is designed and built to collect free energy from the sun. Store it in the battery, and convert this energy to alternating current (AC). The system is tested for real-time responsiveness, reliability, stability, and safety. To fabricate a DC motor control interfaced with remote controller. To construct a model prototype solar cell movement systems with a mechanical assemble to move the panel from one direction to another. To design an electronic circuit to sense the intensity of light and to control DC motor driver for the panel movement. The additional feature of this project is the optimal battery charging. Optimum battery charging is a process of preventing the battery overcharging. It increases the life of the battery. Land Rovers are usually powered by using rechargeable batteries. By using a microcontroller, the battery voltage can be monitored. It helps us to disconnect the charging circuit when the battery is full and connect it when the battery is low beyond the threshold voltage. In order to charge the battery with less effort, solar charging can be employed. Solar Panels can be employed on the top of the rover. For improving the efficiency solar tracking can be used. The light sensors employed on the robot finds the direction of highest light intensity. The positioning system relocates the solar panel to capture the solar energy. The robot uses gear motors for navigation. The robot can be controlled by using a wireless remote controller.

Abstract

Purpose: The numerous organisations that provide a range of funds are making it difficult for retail investors to choose an investment that is acceptable to them. During the pandemic, global market systems were disturbed, notably hurting market returns.

Design: Evaluate the open-ended schemes’ performance concerning equity and debt in mutual funds. The sample contains 10 schemes chosen from ten of the BSE 30 corporate schemes from January 2018 to December 2022. The performance of selected funds is examined to determine various statistical tools such as the daily average return, standard deviation, beta, and risk-adjusted value (Treynor and Jensen ratios). A benchmark index has also been created for analysis.

Findings: The results of the performance evaluation showed that equity schemes had a comparatively better return with moderate risk compared to debt schemes, but at the same time, the risk would be lower in debt schemes compared to equity. This study will help investors to identify good schemes and asset management firms should enhance the performance of their equity schemes to attract investors who are eager to pick the market’s portfolio structure. It is critical to identify and investigate the reasons for changes in time and market structure.
