WEEK 24: FUNCTION OF INVERTER

Objective: 

To know the function of inverter.

Procedure:

1) Search google about the function of charger contoller.

2) State in the result about the function of charger controller.

Result:

A power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The input voltage, output voltage and frequency, and overall power handling depend on the design of the specific device or circuitry. The inverter does not produce any power. The power is provided by the DC source as my project use battery that supply direct current (DC). A power inverter can be entirely electronic or may be a combination of mechanical effects (such as a rotary apparatus) and electronic circuitry. Static inverters do not use moving parts in the conversion process.

Conclusion

After make some research about inverter. We know that inverter function is to invert direct current DC to alternate current AC as been explain in the result above.

WEEK 23: PART INSIDE CHARGER CONTROLLER.

Objective: 

To see what inside the charger controller.

Procedure: 

1) Search internet about part inside the charger controller.

Result:

Figure: The part inside charger controller

Inside the charger controller can see in the figure above.

Conclusion:

The part inside charger controller we can see in the result above. 

WEEK 22: MAKE SOME RESEARCH ABOUT CHARGER CONTROLLER.

Objective: 

To make some research on charger controller.

Procedure: 

1) Search on internet about what the function of charger controller in my project

Result:

1) The function charger controller is to limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drown from electric battery. Its prevents overcharging and may protect against overvoltage which can reduce battery performance or lifespan, and may pose a safety risk. It may also prevent completely draining a battery or perform controlled discharges. The term charger controller may refer to either a stand-alone device, or to control circuitry integrated within a battery pack, battery power device or battery charger.

Conclusion: 

After make some research about the function of charger controller. what i can conclude that is charger controller important in my project as my project are using Solar panel and battery. To charge the battery by using solar panel, charger controller needed so it can prevent from overcharge or overvoltage. 

WEEK 21: MEETING WITH SUPERVISOR

Objective: 

To discuss with the supervisor about my new project process.

Procedure: 

1) Meet with supervisor

2) Discuss about what the part need on my new project.

Result: 

The new final year project need is :-

1)  Solar Panel

2) Charger Controller

3) 12V Battery

4) Arduino Uno

5) Relay

6) Real Time Clock, RTC

7) Inverter

8) Water pump motor

9) Pipe

10) Bucket

Conclusion:

1) Supervisor give some idea about my part need in my Final Year Project

2) The Part need to buy to complete my project.

3) Next week i need to make some research about my project part starting with charger controller.

WEEK 20: PRESENT NEW PROJECT TITLE TO MY SUPERVISOR.

Objective: To present new project title to supervisor to replace my recent project title.

Result: Present new project to my supervisor. List of title present to supervisor:-

1) Automatic Reserve parking 

2) Electric saving by arduino

3) Automatic Agriculture Watering System By Using Solar

This are the list title that i presented to my supervisor. 

Conclusion: After present with the supervisor of all my list. my supervisor choose the Automatic Agriculture Watering System By Using Solar is my new project title to replace my previous project Fiber Optic Photovoltaic.

WEEK 19: MEETING WITH SUPERVISOR.

Objective: To discuss with supervisor about recent experiment about tinted at the surface of solar panel.

Result: Meeting with supervisor, the result is to change my Final Year Project title. Thus, i need to find another project title to replace my previous title.

Conclusion:  After meeting with supervisor. the thing i need to do is to search another title project to replace the recent project. Thus, i need more research on internet to find the suitable title to present with my supervisor. 

WEEK 18: DOING EXPERIMENT ON TINTED OF SOLAR PANEL SURFACE

Objective: To make an experiment to replace fiber optic by tinted the surface of solar panel to filtrate the UV from the sun light.

Result: After tinted the solar panel. The solar panel surface become dim. Thus the light for the sun light had been filter by tinted surface thus it effect the output of photovoltaic. 

Conclusion: After had the result, the tinted on surface of solar panel is not suitable to replace the fibre optic. Thus, i need to see my supervisor to discuss about this result and further progress.

WEEK 17: MEETING WITH SUPERVISOR AFTER THE EXPERIMENT.

Objective: To discuss with supervisor about my project after got negative result about fiber optic.

Result: After meet with supervisor and discuss about my project. Supervisor told me to change the fiber optic into something that can transmit and filtrate UV light. One of the idea is by tinted the solar panel surface. 

Conclusion: After meeting with supervisor. i need to improve my project and make some experiment to replace fiber optic. One of the experiment i need to do is by tinted the solar panel surface.

WEEK 16: EXPERIMENT ON FIBER OPTIC TRANSMISSION

Objective: To make an experiment on Fiber Optic to satisfy my objective theory in fyp 1. 

Result: After meeting with TM fiber optic technician, they said that fiber optic can't transmit sun light because fiber optic just only can transmit laser light as shown in figure below.

Laser tester to test the polarity and licking of fiber optic.

Coclusion: After done the experiment of fiber optic. The result obtain is negative. The result is not as the theory from fyp 1. Thus this project must be totally change. 

WEEK 15: STARTING NEW SEMESTER

Objective: To meet my supervisor for the project after long day semester break.

Method: 1) ask about my project about fiber optic transmission medium

                2) i need to do some experiment on the transmission of the fiber optic that must be 

                    transfer the sun light into fiber optic

Conclusion: After meet my supervisor. i need to do some research on the fiber optic that must be 

                     satisfy on my project objective.
