Abstract
In spite of considerable research conducted on waste of electrical and electronic equipment over the past decade, little is familiar with the quality of electronic products throw out and degree to which quality influence the resolution to dispose and reuse the electronic products as well as the effect of the existing design of electronic equipment for reuse and remanufacturing. This information is foundational to interpret the basis for recent unrestrained expansion in electronic waste and to present a solution to address this problem. This study focuses on the design protocols of inverter technology and present solution due to unconstrained expansion in inverter E-waste. The design life of inverter technology is 10-15 year, during which, it will subject to a thermal event that can lessen the operation life of inverter. There are thousands of inverters technology currently being installed in enlarging the renewable energy market. At the End of life, disposal of the inverter into the environment produce the contaminant such as fluorine, led, cadmium, mercury and bromine in, and it has the global environmental issue. Hence, this project investigates new design protocols for inverter technology which minimize the E-waste burden and allow the inverter at the EOL to be easily recycled. This project is carried out to do investigate to minimize the downtime by prior distinguishes fault earlier to the catastrophic failure of the inverter by developing preventive maintenance material of inverter electro technology assets. Furthermore, developing alternative design protocols of inverter electronics which reduce the E-waste environmental burden and allow efficient recycling at the end of life. Further, to this in project investigates an ill-defined area of existing inverter technology design which creates E-waste reuse burden arduous.
