Background
of the Study

Background of the Study

Reasons:

Our dependency for electrical

energy is now even more
increasing
Energy Crisis And Power
shortage
Energy wasting: ex. Cellphone charge overnight
The use of microcontroller

Statement of the Problem

Energy wasted and unauthorized
use of Electrical energy is one Of
the reason why electric bill goes high.
In regulating outlets, electric bill
is decreased

Statement of the Problem

Specific Questions:

How to control the outlets?

By what means?
What is the method of implementation
How the user may use the system and
is its reliability?

Main objective of the

study

Aimed to design and

construct a saving device that
regulates the usage of
electrical energy consumption

Objectives of the Study

1.Specify the number of outlets
2.Construct the relay-drivers circuit
board
3.Construct the status board
4. Install the LCD display.
5. Design the program of
microcontroller and
construct the main circuit board
6. Test the reliability of the finished
device.

Significance of the Study

1.Standby mode of appliance is prevented,

waste is at minimum
2. Unauthorized use of electrical energy wil
be prevented
3. May prevent damage of some appliances
black out when power is restored.
4. Saves energy, lesser power bill

Scope and Limitation

1.Seven outlets to control

2.Use single PIC16F877A microcontroller
3.Load size up to 15A , 240 AC volts
(Relay rating determines the load siz
4.Used 1 keypad, 1 status board and
1 LCD display

REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Mobile Phone Enviroplug

This device shuts off power when your mobile

one is fully charged. Annual saving of 13.14KWh,
uivalent to watching a 32 LCDTV (170W) for
ours a day for 19 days,

2. One Click Power

This unit will automatically determine the on

off power level of any desktop computer or lapto
to automatically power peripheral equipment, on
when in use. Saves standby waste

3. Energy Wizard

It claims to save energy and at least 10% o

your electricity bill. It uses a combination of
filtration and correction techniques to improve th
efficiency of the electrical appliances and
circuits in your home
