ABSTRACT

Smart minimization of power controller refers to the use of computer and

information technology to control home appliances and features (such as windows, fan,
motor or lighting). Systems can range from simple remote control of lighting through to
complex computer/micro-controller based networks with varying degrees of
intelligence and automation. Home automation is adopted for reasons of ease, security
and energy efficiency.
We are making a project for smart minimization of power controller using AVR
technology, In this project we will use aurdino software and atmega328 microcontroller

INTRODUCTION:

The low-voltage distribution grid faces increasingly significant challenges as compared to the
traditional operation of the grid. These challenges emerge from an increasing load in the grid, as
well as increasing levels of power production at household level. The increased load is caused by
an enhanced use of electricity for instance for transportation or heating, i.e., energy consumption
that has previously been accommodated by fossil fuels, as forecasted by the Danish Energy
Association and Energinet.dk (2010), as well as the International Energy Agency.

Aurdino Board
Aurdino is a tool for making computers sense and control more of the physical world than your
desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple
microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.
Aurdino can be usedto develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or
sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Aurdinprojects
can be stand-alone, or communicate with software running on your computer. There are many
other microcontrollers and microcontroller platforms available for physical computing. All of
these tools take the messy details of microcontroller programming and wrap it up in an easy-touse package. Aurdino is also simplifies the process of working with microcontrollers, but it offers
some advantage for teachers, students, and interested amateurs over other systems.

OBJECTIVE

We need to save or conserve energy because most of the energy sources we depend on, like coal
and natural gas cant be replaced. Once we use them up theyre gone forever. Saving power is
very important, instead of using the power in unnecessary times it should be switched off. In this
project, we are avoiding the problem by having an automatic system which turns ON and OFF
the lights at given time or when the ambient light falls below a specific intensity. A light
dependent sensor is interfaced to the AVR microcontroller it is used to track the sunlight and
when the sensors goes dark the led will be made ON and when the sensors found light the led
will be made OFF.

FUTURE ASPECTS:

The entire apparatus will mounted on a PCB, Initially temperature transducer, Relays andbuzzers
are used for testing the system operation. Aurdino software we will use for programming and
aurdino board will used for burn the controller ATmega328.
