The diploma project consists of a list of abbreviations, an introduction, three chapters, conclusions, a bibliography, and appendices.
The aim of the diploma project is to design a solar panel orientation control system. During the project, methods of obtaining maximum power from the solar panel were reviewed, an overview of the types and principles of operation of solar trackers was conducted, and examples of existing designs of solar panel orientation control systems were provided.
The description and principle of operation of the designed control system were given. The main components of the system were described, the parameters of the mechanical units were calculated, and the schematic diagram of the control system intended for the orientation of the solar panel was developed. Additionally, a possible method of controlling the system using a microcontroller with specialized software was presented.

This project is dedicated to developing a device for quick analysis and tracking of human facial skin condition dynamics using automation systems. Based on the skin’s ability to absorb and reflect light rays, a device that processes electronic signals containing information about light rays of different colours reflected from the skin and converts them into digital values was proposed. Analysing these signals using a special algorithm allows us to track various parameters of the facial skin and maintain facial skin health.
As part of this work, we reviewed modern methods of analysing skin conditions. We developed an innovative automated system with a BH1750 light sensor, sets of LEDs of different colours, and a microcontroller.
The topic of natural gas consumption measurement complexes is highly relevant in today's world due to the need for efficient and accurate accounting of energy resources. With the increase in global natural gas consumption and the importance of reducing costs and losses during its transportation, precise measurements become critically important for energy security, economic efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
Natural gas consumption measurement complexes enable energy system operators to accurately track the volumes of consumed resources, prevent losses and leaks, and ensure correct commercial transactions between suppliers and consumers.
This diploma thesis presents the development of a new ultrasonic thickness gauge. At the beginning of the work, the authors thoroughly describe the relevance and necessity of creating such a device.
The first chapter reviews existing thickness gauging methods, such as ultrasonic, magnetic, optical, mechanical, radioactive, and others. The principle of operation of each method, the scope of their application, and a comparative analysis are described. Particular attention is paid to ultrasonic thickness measurement methods, their advantages and disadvantages.
The second section presents the calculations that allowed us to determine the optimal circuit structure, transducer design, and select the necessary components to create the device. The authors chose an ADC, memory, display, microcontroller with real-time control and high signal processing performance, as well as a suitable display and keyboard.
This thesis is dedicated to the development of a device for automated temperature control. The paper examines the basic principles of non-contact pyrometers, their classification, and fields of application. An analysis of literary sources and theoretical foundations related to thermal control using infrared devices is conducted.
The study also justifies the choice of a four-channel radiation pyrometer for controlling the temperature of the insulation of PV-3 1x60 wire. The process of developing the pyrometer's optical system is described, including the selection of materials for lenses and the modeling of optical components.
