Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is the method of operating the photovoltaic system in a manner that allows the modules to effectively transfer all the power generated from the panel to the load.Maximum Power Point (MPP) tracking technique based on Balancing Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) were successfully developed in this paper to solve the problem of premature convergence and also latency in convergence/tracking. The performance of the developedBPSO was evaluated at solar irradiance...
The design and implementation of a fire prevention and control system using ATmega328P was successfully designed and implemented to curb the frequent fire outbreak in Africa. The system was designed to trigger alarm ON whenever gas leakage or smoke is detected and as well triggers ON fire extinguishing fan ON to suck the gas away from the premise. The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) as well indicates the system performance measure of the premises at any point in time. The Arduino UNO is used as ...
In this research paper an industrial heat detector and cooling system using Raspberry PI was successfully developed and implemented. The workspace/machine temperature is maintained and monitored continuously using the DHT11 temperature sensor with Raspberry Pi. This developed system triggers the cooling fan ON immediately the temperature is >25.99oC and triggers it OFF immediately the temperature range is
Energy wastage is one of the major challenges that is facing the world now as there is insufficient supply of energy and the little ones supplied was not appropriately used. This energy wastage has made many researchers to engage more on the research to stop this energy waste as a result of inappropriate allocation of energy to some devices even when they don’t need it. This research work was able to design and implement an improved automated DC Motor speed controller system using microcont...
Home security is essential for occupant’s conveniences and protection. This research project designed and implemented a comparatively inexpensive smart surveillance security system that automatically captures an intruder’s image through a raspberry pi camera module and PIR sensor and sends mail to the user via Wi-Fi using the users registered email address. This system operates by triggering the Pi Camera through Raspberry Pi whenever an intruder comes in range using PIR sensor. The Pi ca...
The uncertainty associated with modelling and performance of Electric Vehicle (EV) design could be easily and efficiently reduced by using hybridized renewable energy sources. During the past decade the struggle for effective utilization of EVs was very high due to its unreliability interns of durability and sources of charge. This review classified charge station into renewable, nonrenewable and hybrid based on its sources of power generation. In addition, for this decade there is no extensi...
Fire is a visible effect of the process of combustion as a special type of chemical reaction which occurs when oxygen in the atmosphere reacts with some sort of fuel to bring out flame. This review research extensively detailed the causes, preventive and protective measure to be taken to curb fire outbreak in the society. This showed that the best way to avoid fire outbreak is by adopting preventive and protective measure which includes avoidance of using phone in the kitchen, fueling generat...
This research paper successfully designed, developed and implemented an automated hybrid smart door control system which has the ability to secure a home up to 92% electronically. This smart door system is designed and implemented by building a hardware made up of the Bluetooth module and fingerprint scanner which are interfaced with the Microcontroller system that uses +5V power supply. The written programs were interfaced into the microcontroller chips by plugging the Arduino USB cable into...
