Design of Novel Solar Tree Phyllotaxy for Enhanced Performance

Abstract

Major part of rural areas in India has public health institutions like Sub centre (SC), primary health centre (PHC) and community health centre (CHC). Indian government often receives a report from PHC about infant mortality. The major reason of that is lack of neonatal incubators and improper immunization. Hence in order to provide a sufficient incubator with proper immunization storage system, continuous power supply is needed. PHCs are smaller in infrastructure and subjected to frequent power cuts. Taking the above issue into the consideration, an isolated solar tree for PHC is proposed. Many researchers have made researches on different solar structure. Hence this study also focusses on designing different phyllotaxy of the solar tree. The designed solar trees are proposed to implement in a rural area, a remote monitoring of the panel parameters like temperature, voltage and current must be done for the whole setup. If any abnormality occurs, say an increase in dust may lead to poor system efficiency and permanent structural damages to the panel. The online monitoring system will detect this deviation from the nominal value and offer a proper cleaning mechanism (water spray) which will maximum efficiency of the PV system.
