How a Solar Power system works ? Simple Anology

Solar Power system Connected to Grid

How it works ?

Ø  Solar Grid-Tied systems use PV panels to generate DC power.  The DC power goes to a grid interactive (grid-tied) inverter which converts the PV panel DC power to 240 volt AC power that is compatible with the power grid.  The power from the PV panels goes (via the grid tie inverter) to supply the household power needs. 

Ø  If the PV system is generating more power than the house can use, the excess is sent out over the grid to supply others.  If the house needs more power than the PV system can supply, then the extra is drawn from the grid as usual.

Ø  Grid tied systems only work when the grid is up.  If the grid power goes out, the grid tie inverter is required to shut down immediately.

How it Works ?
Ø  Off-Grid systems are independent of the utility power grid.  They generate electricity, store it, and make it available for use without any connection to the power grid.

Ø  Off-Grid systems use PV panels connected to a Charge Controller to charge a set of batteries.  The stored energy from the batteries is usually converted to regular 240 volt, AC power by an inverter.  But, some small systems just use the DC power directly from the batteries.



Solar Power System with Battery Backup and with Grid Connection

Ø  A grid tied with batteries system is kind of a mix of the two system.  It basically operates like a grid tied system when the grid is up, but it also charges a set of batteries. 
Ø  If the grid goes down, the inverter disconnects from the grid (to protect line workers), but it continues to supply power to the house from the batteries and inverter -- essentially behaving like an off-grid system when the grid is down.

Amelia Dyer , a devil who lived in disguise

Amelia Dyer is believed to have murdered hundreds of babies during the 19th Century. Her crimes led to one of the most sensational trials of the period and shone a spotlight on the Victorian practice of "baby farming". How did a seemingly respectable woman stoop to such cruelty? On 30 March 1896, a parcel weighted down with a brick was fished out of the River Thames in Reading. Inside, swaddled in layers of linen, newspaper and brown paper, was the partially decomposed body of baby Helena Fry. White tape had been wound around her neck, with a knot under the left ear. It was a gruesome discovery, but one which would lead detectives to unravel the crimes of one of the 19th Century's most notorious child killers. Born in 1837 to a shoemaker in a small village in Bristol, Dyer had endured a tough childhood in which she was the main carer for her mentally ill mother. As an adult, she became a nurse. But, rather than use her skills to care for people, she embarked o...

Consciousness Moves to Another Universe After Death

A book titled “ Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe “, published in the USA, has stirred up the Internet because of the notion that  life does not end when the body dies and can last forever.  The author of this publication, scientist  Robert Lanza , has no doubts that this may be possible. Beyond time and space Lanza is an expert in  regenerative medicine  and scientific director at  Advanced Cell Technology Company . While he is known for his extensive research on  stem cells,  he was also famous for several successful experiments on  cloning endangered animal species. But not so long ago, the scientist turned his attention to  physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics.  This explosive mixture has given birth to the new theory of  biocentrism , which the professor has been preaching ever since. The theory implies that  death simply does not exist....

Humanoid figure in sky

Zambian locals ran away in terror when they saw a strange human-like figure appear in the clouds above a shopping centre. The alleged apparition, which looked like a Dementor from the Harry Potter movies, was spotted above the Mukuba Mall in Kitwe. Photographs show a large humanoid head and torso, tailing into the sky and it is thought to have measured more than 100 metres (330ft) long.  The dense black shape looked like it was made from a different material from the clouds. From the angle of the photograph, it looks like the apparition was looking down on the shopping centre. The figure hung in the sky for about half an hour and some thought it was a manifestation of God.  A witness said: 'We were shocked to see images that looked like a human in the clouds for close to 30 minutes.  'Some started worshipping but others ran away. It was so strange.'
