CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

2.0

Introduction of the project

This project is about the designing and development of the lighting control
system for energy saving application. Using electronic lighting control systems to save
energy is increasingly a mandatory part of commercial lighting design, and it can be a
big energy-saver at meeting room as well. In addition, a lighting control system is no
longer exclusively a luxury item, but has become more of a lifestyle item due to
declining costs and complexity. The aim of this project is to reduce the electricity
consumption. This system is to control the lamp automatically when somebody enter to
the room and sensed by an Ultra Sonic Motion detector circuit. Ultra Sonic sensor works
by measuring the time it takes a sound wave to propagate from the sensor, to an object
and back to the sensor. Ultra Sonic waves generated by a transmitter are reflected by the
target and the returning waves are detected by a receiver. In this case, timer circuit is
also used to retain lighting for a particular time. The standby battery is added in this
project development in case of main supply is cut-off.

1.1

Objectives

The main objective of this project is to reduce the electricity consumption by
means of automatically turning light off in meeting rooms. In this project, it is identified
of 4 major objectives that must be met in the development of this system:







1.2

To built, test and use the lighting control system;
To reduce the electricity consumption if there is nobody in the room;
To detect a movement when somebody enter to the meeting room by
using Ultra Sonic detector;
Facilitate user to use this system;

Problem Statement

Many building owners and facility managers want to reduce operating costs by
minimizing energy expenses as much as possible while ensuring the comfort and safety
of others. In this case, this project is used in meeting room appliances. Sometimes, users
forget to turn off the light after use and it is a waste. So, by this project development,
it’ll solve the problem .Through this project, the cost will be reduced, saving the energy
and it’ll give more profit for us as a user.

1.3

Scopes of project

The scope of this project is started with the research about the related information
via books and internet before project development. In completing of this project, the
main areas being identified that need to be worked out are:









Literature review to find out a smart sensor among the many sensors
available and the switching system for this project.
The related components and circuits must be find out and do a research;
sketches the project based on the gathered information;
The circuit will be constructed, simulated, testing and analyzed on the
outcome of the project.
Troubleshooting will be done if it produced an error during the simulation.

Other scopes of work include:











1.4

Correlation of theoretical engineering principles with the proposed project;
Design and production of the required circuit board for the project;
Keep up a good log book records;
A complete preparation of the necessary documents and project equipment
requirements;
Prepare for project presentation;
Publish a final report;

Project Methodology

In completing of this project, the complete step of methodology must be
considered. The entire of list below should be completed from the beginning until the
final step of project implementation.

The following methods of this project as below:


Gathering Information

Effective information gathering is the most basic perspective-widening tool that is
required in completing the tasks. Firstly, I’ve find out a suitable title to do as my final
project and figure out the scope, expediency and try to understand the project purpose.


Literature review

Research and literature review on the components needed to develop the system;
-Source for the related and relevant ideas and projects.


System Analysis

Analysis will be done to determine how current existing project works and the
problems inside it. The main problems encountered in previous work are also
determined to make sure a vital improvement for my project. Information from
the reference book and internet surfing are gathered to support the validity of the
analysis process. Besides that, try to understand the function of the whole system
and study the implementation of the project.


Studying and Review

Lots of time will be spent in practicing to use Multisim 2001® and Eagle software.
In Multisim 2001, it is used to draw the circuit and the simulation also will be
done. Meanwhile, the Eagle software is used to design the circuit. Refresh the
electronic general knowledge and understand it to make sure this project will be
constructing perfectly.

Besides that, make an appointment with my supervisor whenever the need arises.
An interview is also involved to senior or master students that have much
knowledge about the information needed.


Design & Development

Emphasis is placed on design formation, project identification, and production of a
feasibility study. I’ve focused on the development of task specifications in light of the
norms for design and preliminary validation of the design by means of basic analysis and
appropriate prototyping.





Verification & Testing

The circuit simulation part must be verified by using Multisim 2001. After the
projects’ development, it must be examined as well whether the result is in a good
condition or vice versa. Troubleshooting will be done if any error in
implementation is detected.

LITERATURE REVIEW

4.0

Introduction

The following discussion mainly focuses on the adaptability of project
functionality and development. This chapter will provide details and discuss about the
source that are related to this project. It consists of the products that are already in the
market nowadays and also contains the theory of the components and equipments that
will be used in the project.

2.1

Lighting Control System

In Lighting control system consists of a device, typically an embedded processor
or industrial computer, which is controls electric lights for a building or residence.
Lighting control systems usually include one or more keypads or touch panel interfaces.
These interfaces allow users the ability to toggle power to lights and fans, dim lights,
and program lighting levels. A major advantage of a lighting control system over
conventional lighting is the ability to control any device from any interface. For
example,

a master touch panel might allow the user the ability to control all lights in a building,
not just a single room.

In fact, any light might be controlled from any location. In addition, lighting control
systems provide the ability to automatically power a device based on programming
events such as:
Chronological time (time of day)
Astronomical time (sunrise/sunset)
Room occupancy
Events
Alarm conditions
Program logic (any combination of events)
Chronological time is a time of day or offset from a time. Astronomical times
includes sunrise, sunset, a day, or specific days in a month or year. Room occupancy
might be determined with motion detectors or RFID tags. Events might include holidays
or birthdays. Alarm conditions might include a door opening or motion detected in a
protected area. Program logic can tie all of the above elements together using constructs
such as if-then-else statements and logical operators.
Mode Lighting is one such manufacturer. Installs on projects such as the
Millennium dome to smaller residential situations, Mode lighting systems are fully
scalable for all situations. This demonstrated how all of the above categories can work
seamlessly together to create a complete solution. Lighting control offers nice effects
and helps to save energy by dimming lights where it would previously be 100% or 0%.
[10].

2.2

Sensing Units

A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a
signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument. For example, a mercury
thermometer converts the measured temperature into expansion and contraction of a
liquid which can be read on a calibrated glass tube.

A thermocouple converts temperature to an output voltage which can be read by
a voltmeter. For accuracy, all sensors need to be calibrated against known standards.

Sensors are used in everyday objects such as touch-sensitive elevator buttons and
lamps which dim or brighten by touching the base. There are also innumerable
applications for sensor on most common products and equipments. Applications include
cars, machines, aerospace, medicine, manufacturing and robotics.

A sensor's sensitivity indicates how much the sensor's output changes when the
measured quantity changes. For instance, if the mercury in a thermometer moves 1 cm
when the temperature changes by 1 °C, the sensitivity is 1 cm/°C. Sensors that measure
very small changes must have very high sensitivities.

In addition to that, sensors do have their advantages and disadvantages whereas;
different sensor technologies are better suited for certain applications. Table 2.2 shows
the advantages, disadvantages and application on some of the most common sensors that
are available in the market today.
