Abstract — The hybrid powered automated Compressed durability, thermal conductivity, cement stabilization,
Stabilized Earth Brick (CSEB) making machine employs solar compression ratio etc [1-7].
energy to hydraulically compress the soil mixture. This machine
overcomes the laborious effort and low productivity of manually Steps of manufacturing the CSEBs are given in fig 1:
compressed earth bricks. This green technology mitigates the
challenge of environment pollution caused by fired brick kilns.
Since it is indigenous, it alleviates the necessity to import
expensive automatic brick making machines. Civil construction
material for rural communities in India is made affordable, and
additionally it generates employment.

C. Photo Voltaic System Design x If the output of the solar panel is not enough to meet
As per the book solar photo voltaic (PV) [24], the standard the load requirement, then the current from the battery
way of selecting the PV system is shown below. Steps involved flows out to meet the load requirement.
in designing the electric system are:- x The output of the battery is given to the input of the
boost converter which steps up the voltage from 24V
Step-1:- Load estimation
input to 50V output.
Motor rating-3-phase, 1.5Hp, 1.12kW
x The 50V output from the boost converter is given to
Daily Watt-hour = 1120W*6hours = 6720Wh
an inverter which converts the voltage to 50 V AC.
Inverter rating:-
Power handling capacity of inverter = 1120VA x The 50V AC is given to input of the transformer
Inverter efficiency = 0.95 which steps up the voltage to 415V to meet the load
Input energy to the inverter = 6720Wh/0.95 = 7074Wh requirement (motor).
System voltage = 50V, Battery voltage = 24V x In order to charge the battery there is a buck converter
Step-2:-Sizing the battery which steps down the voltage from 36V to 24V.
Battery rating -12V, 100Ah, DOD-75% x At night, the solar panel will not work, so 3 phase AC
Required charge capacity = 7074Wh/50V = 142Ah supply can be turned on for usage of the machine.
Batteries required = 142/ (0.75*100) = 2
VI. SIMULATIONS AND RESULTS
Since system voltage is 24V, and 142Ah, total batteries
required is 4, 2 in series and 2 in parallel PV System Simulink Design
Step3:- Sizing the PV modules
PV panel rating-250 W, 36V, 8.6A
Efficiency of PV = 0.85
Efficiency of charge controller = 0.9
Energy supplied by PV=7226/ (0.85*0.9) = 9247Wh
Ampere hour = 9247Wh/24V = 386Ah
Total current delivered by PV panel = 386Ah/6 = 65A
Panels required to be placed parallel is = 65/8.6= 8
For better current sinking, ten panels are kept in parallel
D. Working algorithm of PV system Fig.7. Simulink design of PV system
PV circuit consists of different sections:-
PV panel array design
The panel used in circuit is of the rating 36V, 8.6A, 250Wp.
