Automatic Power Management System For Industries Using RTC
Automatic Power Management System For Industries Using RTC
In industries, there will be various loads to be operated and these loads are to be operated at some specific intervals according to our requirements and also based on the devices constraints. For these purposes, a person should be employed to monitor the status of the loads. But there may be chances that the person may forget to operate these loads at defined intervals. And also it is not an easy task for a person to operate these loads manually as these loads run with high currents and high power consumption. This project gives the best solution for electrical power wastage. Also the manual operation is completely eliminated. This project provides different on and off timings to operate the loads. The user can once program these timings according to his requirements and these timings will be stored in EEPROM and cannot be erased unless the user wishes to change it again. This system switches on the loads only at preprogrammed timings. As the DS1307 Real Time Clock chip with battery back-up is used, there will be no disturbances for the programmed on/off timings even in power failures. Three switches are provided for entering the required timings. These switches made this project user friendly. 16X2 LCD display is provided to display the alarm times and current time. DS1307 is interfaced to the microcontroller for real timing performance. A 3V battery can be connected to DS1307 to avoid time disturbances caused by power failures. The user may even change the preprogrammed timings and set his timings according to his requirements. External EPROM is used in this project to store the set timings. Data stored remains in the memory even after power failure, as the memory ensures reading of the latest saved settings by the micro controller. It can retain data for more than ten years.
