Arduino based Unbalanced /asymmetrical fault locator
Objective: The objective of this project is to determine the distance of underground cable fault from base station in kilometers using an Arduino board. The proposed system is to find the exact location of the fault. The project uses the standard concept of Ohms law i.e., when a low DC voltage is applied at the feeder end through a series resistor (Cable lines), then current would vary depending upon the location of fault in the cable. In case there is a short circuit (Line to Ground), the voltage across series resistors changes accordingly, which is then fed to inbuilt ADC of Arduino board to develop precise digital data for display in kilometers. 2. Over voltage /under voltage load protection with GSM alert using Arduino GSM shield Objective: This project aims to build a system that monitors voltage and provides a breakpoint based low and high voltage tripping mechanism that avoids any damage to the load. Various industrial and domestic systems consist of fluctuation in the AC mains supply. There is a chance of damaging electronic devices that are quite sensitive to these fluctuations. So there needs to be a tripping system that avoids any damage to these loads. 3. Failure Analyzer of a 3 phase supply system using Arduino Uno Objective: Our project aims to develop a system that provides automatic tripping for a 3 phase supply system. The system allows for automatic reset of output after an interruption in case of a temporary fault and is designed to remain in tripped condition if a permanent fault occurs. The electrical substations that are used to provide power to commercial / domestic facilities may at times encounter permanent of temporary failures. Such failures may prove quite damaging for industries and domestic electricity consumers. Such faults may be classified as Line to Line (L2L), Line to ground (L2G), Three line (3L) and if we consider these three, in three phase supplying systems they may prove quite harmful. In order to detect these situations in advance and avoid any harm to consumers we propose a unique tripping mechanism design.
4. Load Control System for COE building using DTMF Controller
Objective; The project aims at controlling various loads spread over a large area remotely by using DTMF concept. The DTMF command tone thus received from the phone causes electrical load switching. The project is useful for managing industrial, domestic or agricultural loads that extend over a large area. The project requires a DTMF decoder interfaced to audio output socket of the cell phone. Whenever a button on the keypad is pressed the frequency thus generated from it is received by the decoder and it converts the frequency into its equivalent digital code. A microcontroller of 8051 family is used which is interfaced to relays through relay driver IC. The digital code is then provided to microcontroller that identifies the phone commands and initiates the relays to actuate the respective loads by turning them on and off. 5. GSM based industry Protection system Objective: With heavy automation taking place these days, the number of industries as well as number of accidents in those industries has increased substantially. Human errors and manual safety systems lead to increase in industrial accidents. So here we propose a GSM based industrial protection system that detects smoke, temperature as well as light to keep track of accidents. The system needs to detect if the temperature of a machine or environment goes above a certain level, if it goes above a level, it is an indication of a malfunction. So here we use temperature sensor to detect a possible accident. Next indication is the malfunction or overloading of machines leading to smoke. We use smoke detectors to detect smoke and similarly a light sensor to detect light due to spark or any flash caused due to malfunctions. All these indicators/sensors constantly provide their input to the microcontroller connected to them. The microcontroller constantly processes this data. On encountering a warning signal from any of these sensors the microcontroller now communicates this data to a gsm modem interfaced to it and sends out an SMS message to intended user as a warning.
6. GPS + GPM based Advanced Vehicle Tracking System Project
Objective: The project proposes a GPS + GSM based vehicle tracking system that tracks the vehicle and sends the data over through a SMS. The system includes a GPS modem that continuously tracks the vehicle location in the form of latitude and longitude. The data is then sent over to a microcontroller interfaced to a GSM modem. The microcontroller acts as the controlling head of the system. It receives the data from GPS modem and constantly sends over the longitude and latitude data to user via SMS through the GSM modem from time to time as per the interval limit set by user. This system will help transport and travel companies keep track of their vehicles. Also receive regular status of vehicles. 7. Generating electricity with the use of musical instruments. Objective: As a group, our hobbies are playing different kinds of instrument. So we decided on how we can create electricity out of our passion. This project aims to convert sound to electrical energy with the use of piezoelectricity. We will simply install it in different musical instrument we will used in order to create energy. We will use also a super capacitor in order to store the energy coming from the piezoelectric device.
