INTRODUCTION
A solar powered air filling station is a device that converts power into potential
energy stored in pressurized air.A solar powered air filling station can also be
renamed as solar powered air compressor. Air compressors are often used to power
drills used by oil and gas companies because there is no power available, solar
powered air compressors make powering these drills very easy. It may seem strange
to use solar powered drills in order to find fossil fuels, but it really is done! It may
only be a tiny thing but it does make a difference. We can only run solar powered
air compressors from the solar panels, you cannot run one from a battery at night
for example as this could cause damage to the delicate circuit. The solar powered
air compressor is completely green and will look after the environment. Solar
technology is now small enough to be used to charge your cell phone, run a laptop.
You can also buy smaller solar air compressors to run smaller drills and machinery.
The solar power air compressor is basically a standard air compressor with the
power being generated from the sun.
Solar Charge Controller also known as SCC. It is the device that regulates
the voltage and current from the solar photo-voltaic system to the battery bank. The
no-load voltage, i.e., Open Circuit Voltage of a photo-voltaic array increases
more than 220 volts on a bright sunny day, which is very high for charging the
battery bank and may also lead to the drying up of battery bank due to
overcharging. To avoid the overcharging of battery bank, SCC is used.
Air compressor converts solar power into kinetic energy by pressurizing and
compressing air, which is then released in quick bursts. There are numerous
methods of air compression, divided into either positive-displacement or negative-
displacement types.

WORKING
The radiations received from sun is collected by the solar photovoltaic cell, the
energy is stored in battery bank. From battery it is sent to the air compressor if the
compressor is DC motor. The voltage regulator, microcontroller are used to control
the fluctuation in the voltage. From batteries using inverter the energy is converted
for AC motors air compressor. Once the battery is charged the energy is transfer to
air compressor and starts working.
APPLICATIONS
Air compressors have many uses, including: supplying high-pressure clean air to fill
gas cylinders, supplying moderate-pressure clean air to a submerged surface
supplied diver, supplying moderate-pressure clean air for driving some office and
school building pneumatic HVAC control system valves, supplying a large amount
of moderate-pressure air to power pneumatic tools, such as jackhammers, for filling
tires, and to produce large volumes of moderate-pressure air for large-scale
industrial processes (such as oxidation for petroleum coking or cement plant bag
house purge systems).
CONCLUSION
Solar power has become one of the most popular alternative energy sources. Free
and available everywhere, the power of the sun can be employed to power
everything like cell phones and motors. Thus this solar based air compressor can be
utilized for the remote area where electricity is not easily available. This type of
low-cost compressors can also provide employment opportunity for the people of
rural area by helping them to setup their business like inflated tire repairing or
puncher repairing shops near the highways. This type of setup is also a portable in
nature and can easily be move from one place to another Thus this project can
provide away of rural employment in a clean and green manner.
