Automatic stand-by power cutoff outlet for 230V AC operated devices for energy saving

INT !"#CTI!N Heres a concept being introduced to save energy. Most of the times when systems like TV, Computers, V !C players etc., are being run we "ust turn off the device switch but the #C supply keeps running. There is still power consumption $less of course% in such cases and most &Cs still keep operating . 'e look for such devices and put them off . "$%C I&TI!N This pro"ect ()M#*T #+ ,--&C&,+T ,+,*./ M#+#.,M,+T0 is a system used for giving a demo on how to find out the devices in stand1by mode and turn them off using the &nfra*ed TV! V *emote Handset. This helps in conserving power. 'orking of this module has follows, #. *emote Control handset can be used to control the variation in power stages which is demonstrated by varying the brightness of a bulb . 2. ,ach +umber in the handset represents a brightness level $314% .This +umbers are transmitted accordingly using the &* transmitter in remote control. C. The &* receiver receives this +umber. . The controller, according to the number sensed generates a pulse of different at different phases of the #C cycle to control circuitry . ,. This module has a$ 5C %5ero crossing detector, Motor Control circuitry and isplay . #s soon as the commands are received, the controller activates a 5C , which in turn controls a 6ptoisolator based Triac unit connected to the #C mains via an &nduction motor. The controller is

programmed to generate timing signals to control conduction angle of the Triac for the #C cycle. -. #s per the o!p of the T*&#C #C input cycle to a testing unit say a bulbs brightness varies. 'hen the brightness is very less or if the bulb glows dimmer then it is e7uivalent to a device being in stand 8 by mode. .. #ccordingly a relay will be operated to turn off the bulb during minimum brightness. H. The brightness levels are set by the remote control handset. #lphanumeric 9C is used to display the brightness variations.

Cses *eduction in power consumption. The device wear and tear can be reduced by turn it off if it stays in stand1by mode for a long time. This method actively reduces the standby power.

-uture )copeF The proposed Model provides easy way to add, delete, and move home devices to other power outlets. 'hen a home device is moved to the different outlet, the energy information of the home device is kept consistently and seamlessly regardless of location change.
