INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ENERGY SAVING ROBOT
[attachment=22095]
This project is to save energy from indoor light using solar panels. Commercial made solar trackers are a nice addition to any solar panel array. They help increase the time that panels directly face the sun, indoor lights and allow them to produce their maximum power. We decided to make our own solar tracker Robot.
The objective of this project is to control the position of a robot in accordance with the intensity of light.
Brief Methodology: This project is designed with solar panels, ADC, Microcontroller, Stepper Motor and its driving circuit. In this project ADC is used to find or the intensity of light. The robot will trace and rotate and move towards the maximum intensity of light, according to the intensity of light the voltage in ADC will change. It’s a closed loop system. The voltage output from the panels are charging in batteries, after charging it will indicate as charge full then we can discharge that robot battery by charging other batteries which we already used in our indoors. Whenever the power cut occurs our robot will give light from its own energy.
In addition to this we also implement automatic light on when the power cut in our home, so to detect power cut we use LDR, when the light is very low he resistance value of the LDR changes so the voltage output from the LDR is low it was sensed by the microcontroller then microcontroller will switch on the relay so we can on the light which is placed in our robot. Then the energy saving from the light to battery is connect to some loads..(DC motor, jumbo car …) his energy management will save huge amount of energy in our life
