UC BASED SOLAR TRACKER WITH STEPPER MOTOR CONTROL

2013-10-21T08:10:00.002-07:00

Abstract

Solar energy is rapidly gaining notoriety as an important means of expanding renewable energy resources. As such, it is vital that those in engineering fields understand the technologies associated with this area. My project will include the design and construction of a micro controller-based solar panel tracking system. Solar tracking allows more energy to be produced because the solar array is able to remain aligned to the sun. This system builds upon topics learned in this course. A working system will ultimately be demonstrated to validate the design. Problems and possible improvements will also be presented.

Renewable energy solutions are becoming increasingly popular. Photovoltaic (solar) systems are but one example. Maximizing power output from a solar system is desirable to increase efficiency. In order to maximize power output from the solar panels, one needs to keep the panels aligned with the sun. As such, a means of tracking the sun is required. This is a far more cost effective solution than purchasing additional solar panels. It has been estimated that the yield from solar panels can be increased by 30 to 60 percent by utilizing a tracking system instead of a stationary array [1]. This project develops an automatic tracking system which will keep the solar panels aligned with the sun in order to maximize efficiency.

This paper begins with presenting background theory in light sensors and stepper motors as they apply to the project. The paper continues with specific design methodologies pertaining to photocells, stepper motors and drivers, microcontroller selection, voltage regulation, physical construction, and a software/system operation explanation. The paper concludes with a discussion of design results and future work.

TRANSFORMER OVERHEAT CONTROL SYSTEM AND INTIMATION TO EB

2013-10-21T08:06:00.002-07:00

ABSTRACT

The Transformers used in EB are mainly to handle the high power ratings, hence it dissipate more heat. When the temperature goes beyond certain limit, it may burst and may hurt the people closer to it. This also causes remarkable loss and threatening human life. This project is developed to protect such incidents, by monitoring the temperature of the transformer and controlling the heat. When the heat is not under the control, it may alert the EB department to take action.

A temperature sensor is fixed on the body of the transformer, which is to be monitored (Refer first Block Diagram). The sensor produces weak current signal, proportional to the temperature. This current signal is amplified and converted as analog voltage signal by the signal conditioner. An analog comparator is used to compare this analog voltage with a pre-set input (Which is the set temperature).This comparator produces trigger logic ‘1’, when the temperature of the transformer exceeds the threshold value. The trigger signal is fed as input to a microcontroller port pin. The microcontroller senses this logic’1’ signal and switch ON the cooling fan waits for few minutes. If the temperature is not become low with in this period, then the controller sends alert code with its identification code to a RF module. The RF module is gets the data from microcontroller, modulates the digital signal with 433Mhz carrier and transmits. The module uses Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) type modulation technique.

RFID AND GSM BASED INTELLIGENT MAILBOX

2013-10-21T07:57:00.000-07:00

Abstract

As the time moves the life style of the persons has completely changed and there is no time for the people for micro management of every issue personally. So, this is the right time to provide some space to the technology into our lives for monitoring the issues which requires our personal presence for the things to happen. One among those issues which require our personal presence is receiving the courier which is sent back if we are not present at the time the courier boy comes to our house. This may lead to the delay in receiving the data and in some scenarios it may also lead to tough situations. So our project aims in providing a very reliable and very user friendly solution to overcome this kind of problem.

As we know the advancements in the Radio As we know the advancements in the Radio Frequency and GSM technologies and making use of those existing technologies we can design a device which is capable of identifying the arrival of courier and forward the same to the receiver and also send an acknowledgement to the courier office so that they do not require the signature of the particular person for whom the courier is meant for. The basic idea of the system is to employ an RF ID tag to the courier and send the identity number to the receivers mobile. The receiver of the courier will have a letter box which has an RF reader and a dedicated GSM modem in it. As soon as the courier boy drops the letter in to it the RF reader reads the identity number of the tag and informs the same to a micro controller and compares it with the identity number send by the courier office and if both are one and the same then it sends message to the receiver and also to the courier office about the arrival of the courier.

To design the entire system we require a microcontroller which acts as a medium of communication between the RF reader and the GSM modem. The major advantage of this system is the presence of the GSM modem enables the device to communicate with the receiver no matter where ever he was present on the globe.

CELLPHONE BASED SPEED CONTROL OF MOTOR

2013-10-21T07:36:00.001-07:00

ABSTRACT

Cell phone Based Speed Control of the Motor Now a day's communication is a very important one, mainly cellular communication is an emerging technology. By using cellular phone, we can do many wonders like sending messages, e-mails even we can browse a website using a wap technology. All the above parameters exist in the cellular service. We are going to control electrical appliances like industrial motors with the help of a cellular phone and a dot line.

Micro controller is a very essential one and almost available in every industry. So we decided to control the electrical appliances by using embedded c, there are two ways to control the appliances with micro controller. The software can be developed with the help of embedded C language.

When you call your mobile from your cellular phone, the mobile will be connected to a dtmf decoder with headset. Then the cellular phone user has to press the number in his cell phone number pad. Then the number will be converted in to DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) signal, which is consists of a low frequency and high frequency waveform. Then that will be transmitted to the land line side.

At the receiver end the DTMF signal will be detected and decoded with the help of a DTMF decoder IC (8870). The DTMF decoder will convert the DTMF waveform in to BCD format. The BCD output format will be given to the micro controller through the interface circuit. Then the received BCD data will be converted in to decimal format with the help of software. Then according to the pressed number the Dac will get actuated. Then the DAC output will be connected to control circuit and to the motor

2013-10-21T07:32:00.000-07:00

ABSTRACT

This project deals with “Development of an Embedded system for Automatic street light controlling with Sun Tracking” using micro controller AT89C52 and Light sensor named as light dependent resistor (LDR). In our daily life we are observing street lights still on in day time also. In this type of conditions the electricity (power) is wasted. This project deals with how to avoid this condition using embedded system. The project presented here is to on/off the street lights automatically when the particular person is out of reach or if he forgot to switch off the lights.Here we are mainly using the sensor for detecting the light LDR (light dependent Resistor). The characteristics of the LDR are the resistance is very high when it is in dark and resistance is low when it is in light. The Micro controller is used to control the whole system, it monitors the sensor output, and according to the sensor condition the street lights are operated. The whole program is written in Embedded C and burned into the micro controller ROM.The AT89C52 is an 8-bit micro controller with 8k bytes of flash ROM, 256 bytes of RAM is preferred due to its quick programming and ease of use.

AUTOMATIC RAILWAY GATE CONTROLLING SYSTEM

2013-10-20T23:14:00.002-07:00

Abstract
The objective of this project is to manage the control system of railway gate using the micro controller. The control system activates and closes the gate on either side of the track. once the train crosses the other end control system automatically lifts the gate. For mechanical operation of the gates dc motors are employed. Here we are using embedded controller built around the 8051 family (AT89C52) for the control according to the data pattern produced at the input port of the micro controller, the appropriate selected action will be taken.. The logic is produced by the program written in Assembly language. The software program is written, by using the KEIL micro vision environment. The program written is then converted in HEX code after simulation and burned on to micro controller.

The basic idea behind this project is an automatic railway gate at a level crossing replacing the gates operated by the gatekeeper. It deals with two things. Firstly, it deals with the reduction of time for which the gate is being kept closed. And secondly, to provide safety to the road users by reducing the accidents. By the presently existing system once the train leaves the station, the stationmaster informs the gatekeeper about the arrival of the train through the telephone. Once the gatekeeper receives the information, he closes the gate depending on the timing at which the train arrives. Hence, if the train is late due to certain reasons, then gate remain closed for a long time causing traffic near the gates.

ACCIDENT IDENTIFICATION USING GPS AND SEND SMS THROUGH GSM TO A MOBILE

2013-10-20T22:48:00.002-07:00

Abstract:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.

GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the user's exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite is. Now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the user's position and display it on the unit's electronic map.

The project consists of a microcontroller which is interfaced with the Gps module, gsm modem and a vibration sensor. for fetching the data from the Gps module. Once the microcontroller senses the strong vibration, it assumes an accident. From the instance of vibration it starts an alarm. For a time period say approx 15 to 25 seconds. If the peoples are safe they should press a emergency switch to stop the alarm. If none of the people fails to press the switch within the specified time. The controller assumes it as an emergency and starts the gsm modem sending the latitude and longitude information to the specified mobile number, by fetching the information from the Gps. The data from the Gps module is obtained at a baud rate of 9600 BPS. With a specified format with various unwanted and mixed strings of data. The microcontroller reads the required data and eliminates the unwanted data. Thus the data fetched is only the latitude, longitude and is displayed in LCD for our reference. A typical data from the Gps module will be of the following format; anyway we are not using all the data from the module, the following is just an example.
