How Solar Power Plant Works

Solar power plant we visited is located at Keshegaon named as 1KW SOLAR POWER STATION, KESHEGAON. Here the power is created using the solar power plates. The detailed process is as follows - When light hits the solar panels, the solar radiation is converted into direct current electricity (DC). The direct current flows from the panels and is converted into alternating current (AC) used by local electric utilities. Finally, the electricity travels through transformers, and the voltage is boosted for delivery onto the transmission lines so local electric utilities can distribute the electricity to homes and businesses. There are two main ways of generating energy from the sun. Photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating solar thermal (CST), also known as concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies. PV converts sunlight directly into electricity. These solar cells are usually...

WDM Technology

WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) Wavelength division multiplexing is a technique where optical signals with different wavelengths are combined, transmitted together, and separated again. It is mostly used for optical fiber communications to transmit data in several (or even many) channels with slightly different wavelengths. In this way, the transmission capacities of fiber-optic links can be increased strongly, so that most efficient use is made not only of the fibers themselves but also of the active components such as fiber amplifiers. Apart from telecom, wavelength division multiplexing is also used for, e.g., interrogating multiple fiber-optic sensors within a single fiber. The idea of wavelength multiplexing relies on the principle that light of a certain wavelength does not interfere with light of another wavelength. For every data channel an...

Book: The Google Story

The Google Story Google Inc. is an American multinational corporation specializing in Internet-related services and products. But it is well known to all people as the largest using search engine. Google began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were both PhD students at Stanford University in Stanford, California.  The Google Story is a book by David A. Vise and Mark Malseed about the Internet success of Google. It is the story of Google's founders; Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and starts with how they dropped out of graduate school at Stanford University before creating the search...
