Title of the Project: - : Intelligent system for controlling room light

counter powered by solar PV

Project Summary: - The model is developed for reducing the wastage of electricity due

through visitor

to careless and improper switching in households, schools, colleges and offices etc. It
saves energy by maximizing the use of daylight. This is an automatic system which
employs solar energy through PV. The system is capable of controlling lights, fans and air
conditioners in a room depending upon various parameters such as LUX level, room
temperature and motion. All these parameters are measured through various sensors and
the controlling is done by microcontroller. PIR sensor detects the occupancy in the room.
The microcontroller reads the LUX level of the room from the ambient light sensor. If the
daylight value is below the preset threshold value, then the lights are turned on and vice
versa. LM 35 sensor reads the room temperature and is compared with preset value and
accordingly the ON and OFF of the fan is controlled. This model itself consumes very
low power and helps in saving a significant amount of energy. The model can be applied
to government offices, private firms, residential buildings, schools, colleges etc. so as to
avoid the wastage of electricity and maximum use of day lighting, also reduces our
dependence on conventional energy and will help in conserving energy.

Technical Details of the Project

o Origin of the Proposal: - Man has come a long way in terms of development over a
period of time. In the olden days man used kerosene lamps and hand-held fansing his
house. The invention of electricity was a major breakthrough in technology, which has
enabled man to simplify many jobs. After the invention of electricity came the electric
lamp and the electric fan. After the invention of electricity came the age of
AUTOMATION, in which most operations were automated. Human labour was
substituted by machines in most places. Continuous attempts are still being made to dilute
mans role in most processes. We through this project want to bring the advantages
of technology into the homes of people by automating their household sand to provide a
solution to prevent wastage of electricity and thus helping overcoming the problem of
scarcity of electricity.

o Definition of the Problem:- Electricity is desecrated due to careless and improper use in
households, schools, government offices and many other places. This leads to frequent
power cut off in many of the urban and rural areas in India. The conscience is from
increasing demand, supply of electricity and efficient use. In recent years the electricity
crises have become one problem which India is facing in its development path.
Household power consumption makes up the largest part of the energy consumption in
the world.
Objectives: In this paper, we have developed a solar energy based hardware model which automatically
switches the lighting and cooling appliances to reduce the wastage of electricity accordingly
to certain sensor output. Thus the problem such as demand and supply gap of electricity is
minimized, maximum use of day-lighting and saving conventional sources of energy. The
developed system is such that it can easily be applied to government offices, private firms,
residential buildings, schools, colleges etc. so as to avoid the wastage of electricity.

Work Plan: In the search of this project, we have read almost 15 20 Research Papers and did deep
study on Automation. After reading Research Papers, we did detailed study on the latest
techniques, so that the advanced techniques can be used. We studied microcontroller, PIR
sensors, solar cells and many other systems which are beneficial for the object. After this, we
discussed this project with our reader and senior lecturers. Then, we designed our circuit on
software. After proper simulation of the circuit, we bought the required components and
designed the circuit on the breadboard. After getting the results from breadboard design, we
finally designed the circuit on copper clad board. Then, we mounted the components on the
PCB and after completing all processes including fabrication etc., we did final packaging of
the project model.

Methodology: The hardware is designed using Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL), thus devices consume less
DC Power. A 5V DC source is required to supply power to the circuit. The switching circuit is

controlled with the signaling from microcontroller. These signals are generated on the basis
of the sensors input to the microcontroller. The complete system is self-controlled, reduces
human efforts and efficient in terms of power savings.
Proper functioning of the system is described in the flow charts shown in the Figure 1 and
automatic controlling for Fans Figure 2. The motion sensor first detects the presence of
human and sends signal to the microcontroller. Then it senses the light intensity and room
temperature using ambient light sensor and temperature sensor respectively. Microcontroller
is programmed to control the lights and fans in a room such that whenever LUX level and
temperature in a room varies with reference to the threshold value. An LCD display unit is
also provided to display the Lux level and the room temperature.

Microcontroller based automatic control system for light and fan is a demo system. It is lights
and fans of a room or offices. The complete developed hardware is shown in the Figure 4
with, microcontroller, sensors, LCD and other controlling TTL devices mounted on the PCB.

Error! Reference source not found. Shows the complete setup for testing where tube-light
and fans are controlled via the designed hardware. The system has a provision to set the
temperature above which the fan/air-conditioner is ON. Similarly LUX level can be set for
reading to put ON the tube-light.

o Proposed Outcome/ Findings: Developed system can easily be implemented with the existing setup. The complete hardware
system consumes very less amount of power. The technology adopted in this project is quite
simple, very logical and economical too. Making it more compact and producing it on a large
scale, can make this device even more durable and help reduction in the cost. This system is

simple and easy to use. It can be installed by anyone for saving energy in home, schools,
offices etc.
The designed demo hardware has been installed in a room where daylight was not sufficient.
The circuit is examining with connected load of 120W (one tube light and one fan each 60W)
in the month of June when the temperature is more than 250C. The test result with the
hardware and without the hardware is shown in the Table 1. With the help of the developed
system using one tube light and one fan approximately 133 units (kWh) of electricity can be
saved in a year. Developed system is focused on curtailing wastage of energy which happens
due to improper switching and careless use. System itself consumes very low amount of
power which is 0.905 W.
