Abstract: The integration of photovoltaic systems into energy grids has been very common in recent times since more renewable forms of energy are sought after. Reliability and safety are among the most essential concerns that have to be considered for the deployment and operation of such systems. There have been some very conspicuous failures of protective devices in recent installations, leading to huge damage to solar equipment and an estimation of millions of Naira in repair and maintenance costs. The said incidents further underscore the need for technical competency in PV system installations as well as good-quality protective component acquisition. This study examines the critical role of protective devices in photovoltaic (PV) systems, focusing on their impact on system reliability, operational safety, and financial implications. A survey of industry professionals revealed that the major causes of device failures are overvoltage and poor-quality devices. Similarly, Circuit Breakers and Surge Protectors top the list of devices affected by failures. Critical system shutdowns take up 50% of the resultant consequences of failures, deteriorated performance, and safety hazards. Surprisingly, 65% of those who responded reported financial losses due to the failures, estimated at 45% between N100,000 and N500,000, while 15% had losses above N500,000. The study recommends high-quality protective devices be installed, installation and maintenance be standardized, and predictive maintenance/remote monitoring technologies be adopted to improve reliability and early fault detection. The long-term performance of devices in varying environmental conditions and the economic benefit of using durable, high-quality components are to be focused on further for research. These findings also put forward actionable suggestions to better ensure the PV system resilience for all stakeholders, thereby reducing their financial risks and ensuring the continued growth of the solar energy infrastructure in a reliable manner.

Abstract: Thermal spray coatings have become one of the most potential for hard chrome replacement, particularly for wear and corrosion applications. In this study four types of hard coating materials were selected and thermally sprayed by suitable processes as the following designated codes (material/spray technique): Cr-Fe/HVOF, Cr-Ni/HVOF, WC-Ni/SF and Cr-Fe/AS. All of starting materials were characterized in order to create a correlation between spray materials and coating characteristics. SEM was employed for morphology and microstructure investigation. Particle size analysis was investigated by SEM and laser particle size analyzer. Coating characterization included surface roughness measurment by profilometer, porosity evaluation by image analysis and hardness test by Vicker microhardness tester. Microstructure of coatings was also revealed by SEM. Wear performance was evaluated by pin on disc test and dry sand rubber wheel abrasion test. Corrosion resistance was tested by potentiodynamic method. The results showed that particle size and morphology of starting powders were various depending on manufacturing method. Chemical compositions of starting materials showed great effect on coating properties and performance. Coatings deposited by HVOF and spray & fuse (SF) method showed typically dense and homogeneous structure than arc sprayed coating. WC-Ni/SF coating showed lowest abrasive wear rate compared to other thermally sprayed coatings. All Ni base coatings had significantly lower corrosion rates while Cr-Ni/HVOF coating had lowest corrosion rate. Although Cr-Ni/HVOF and WC-Ni/SF could be applicable for both wear and corrosion applications, for heat sensitive parts, Cr-Ni/HVOF coating could be a better alternative to spray and fuse.

Abstract: Face recognition belongs to the important content of the biometric identification, which is a important method in research of image processing and pattern recognition. It can effectively overcome the traditional authentication defects Through the facial recognition technology. At present, face recognition under ideal state research made some achievements, but the changes in light, shade, expression, posture changes the interference factors such as face recognition is still exist many problems. For this, put forward the integration of global and local features of face recognition research. Practice has proved that through the effective integration of global features and local characteristics, build based on global features and local features fusion face recognition system, can improve the recognition rate of face recognition, face recognition application benefit.

Abstract: Currently, its problems are about feeding more and inserting less fuses at a time, needing triple cooperation of rotary pairs, locations, and low production efficiency. A new type of feed of fuses mechanism was designed, its automatic adjustment of the number of inserting fuses can come out by means of the transmission fit of the trapezoidal axis with the via holes. The axis is a quadrangular prism in the middle and circular cylinders on both sides and the holes are in the middle of the pulling roll wheel pieces. It greatly improves the production efficiency.

Abstract: The Development of the computer has been from a single machine to the server, and then server clustering technology, and the emerging "cloud" network, which invariably show the network's role in the computer. Meanwhile, more and more high-end hardware trash or the users may be unbearable of high cost of servers, so the use of existing resources and integration of resources has become increasingly important. This paper will detail a virtual network file system, which based on Upnp (Universal Plug and Play) and FUSE (File system in Usese Space) in Linux operating system. In this study, users can share a computer terminal to collect and use that particular computer terminal on the network to all the resources users are interested in, provided that the shared computer terminals must be installed on a specific Upnp device. In this study, we have successfully implemented single-device-side and single-device-side multithread communication under the Linux or windows operating system.
