 INTRODUCTION
• This chapter deals with the development of flexible solar tents utilized
for power generation and aims at supplying power to the load, which
can be utilized for the electronic equipment and wearable electronic
products used by the soldiers in the war field.
 OBJECTIVE
The objective of our project focus on moving towards renewable sources of energy
rather than using fossil fuel .in order to contribute towards sustainable form of
society.

- connection are light ,solar panel, Batteries and also how much power wife should
keep
- it collects direct sunlight, and what this design might mean for luxury glamping
and eco camping in the future… particularly if you want to have a nomadic
lifestyle.
 REAL LIFE PROBLEM

Pollution:
• Fossil fuels contribute to greenhouse gases

• The most harmful for the environment is coal because it has many more harmful combustion
products than other fossil fuels.

Forest Fire:
• Its very hard to carry fossil fuel with us during tracking and sometimes its may be dangerous also
sometime may cause forest fire.

Defence purpose:
• Soldiers carry daily supply of primary batteries, but limited power capacity and the continual
need for the supply can limit the mobility range.
 FOCUS ON THE PROBLEM
• Solar power is pollution-free and causes no greenhouse gases to be emitted after
installation.

• Reduced dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels.

• Renewable clean power that is available every day of the year, even cloudy days
produce some power.

• Return on investment unlike paying for utility bills.

• The new technology aims to make military missions safer and more energy efficient by
using flexible solar tent in the defence
• Can be installed virtually anywhere; in a field to on a building
• Use batteries to store extra power for use at night
• Solar can be used to heat water, power homes and buildings, even
power cars
• Virtually no maintenance as solar panels last over 30 years
 METHODOLOGY

• Step1:- Manufacture tent frame

• Step2:- Cover the frame with the perovskite fabric
• Step3:- The flexible solar panel is placed over the perovskite material
• Step4:- The panels and the perovskite are connected to the battery
• Step5:- All appliances are finally connected to the battery.
•  
 CALCULATIONS AND POWER
CONSUMPTION

• Total Electricity can be used for 8-10 hrs. as it is completely proportional to the weather
conditions

• As it runs on DC Current now the perovskites cells can produce from 13,800 to 18,000
watts of electricity.

• Solar cells give an attractive option for directly photo-charging lithium-ion batteries, the
use of perovskite solar cell packs with four single CH3NH3PbI3 based solar cells
connected in series.

• Our device shows a very high photo-electric conversion and storage efficiency of 7.80%
and very good cycling stability, which d can do better than other reported lithium-ion
batteries
CAD MODEL
 COMPONENT

• BATTERY:- Can store up to 1800 watt of power and provide electricity for up to 24hrs on 100 watt
load.

• IOT Device :- 2 – 4 Watts

• LED Lights – 60 Watts
• Charging Ports – 2.5 Watts each
• Induction Stove - 300 Watts

 
 RESEARCH GAP

• Cost. The initial cost of purchasing a solar system is fairly high.

• Weather-Dependent. Although solar energy can still be collected during
cloudy and rainy days, the efficiency of the solar system drops
• Solar Energy Storage Is Expensive
• Uses a Lot of Space.
• Associated with Pollution.

Realistic Constraints in Design (√) - Yes; (X) - No
(N/A) - Not- Applicable

1 Economic √ more investment is needed because of some expensive material eg. solar
panel , appliances etc.
 
cost could be high intially but one time investment.

2 Environmental √ Among the compounds found in solar panels are cadmium and lead,
extremely toxic metals.

3 Social X  
 

4 Political X  

5 Ethical √ similar product exist in market which is patent protected.

6 Health and Safety √ Heater is not safe for warming the tent sometime.
overheating is problem sometime.
wiring may cause some problem.

√ available area for a solar installation is often a designer's primary concern

7 Manufacturability
sometime installation process create problem.

√ Efficiency could be low when Temperature below 15 or above 35 .

LITERATURE REVIEW
 MULTI DISCIPLINARY

• Electrical Engineering – For wiring and connection of all the

component.
• Civil Engineering – For making outer structure of tent.
• Computer Engineering – For making tent more automated .
 CONCLUSION

• In this chapter demonstration of clothing integrated flexible solar cells,

equipped with commercial amorphous silicon were discussed. The PT
15"300 flexible solar cells integrated with defence tents which can be
utilized for the power generation was successfully developed with the
help of fusing and stitching method and also it can be used for make
shift office in the defence field to power the wearable electronic
products. With the help of this tent a load up to 1 kW can be powered
and in future this load can be increased depending upon the
requirements.
 FUTURE WORK
• The outcome of this study is the detailed design of the monitoring system which will pave the
way for a future work of installing and collecting measurements. This work will lead to evaluate
the system performance and optimize the system size.

• Since the daily load profile does not match the solar radiation curve (most of the load are needed
during night), load is powered from the batteries more than the PV modules. An interesting future
work can be evaluating the system economic feasibility by compromising the number of CIGS
PV modules and the battery size in terms of price and performance to find the critical point when
it is more feasible to increase the number of PV modules and when it is more feasible to increase
the battery bank capacity.

• Another topology of solar tents can be a central tent with a solar system to power a cluster of
tents instead of the individual solar tent with its own solar system. Studying the social aspects and
the commercial difference between the two systems is interesting topic for a future work
