Load Shedding Time Management for Utility Department

Electricity is one of the most important requirement of modern civilization and  the demand of power is increasing continuously, with already installed power generation system, we cannot replace the new generating system every time. Therefore Load Shedding is the most preferred solution to meet this problem. Since Load Shedding is monitored manually by allotment of some in charge person to turn On/Off the switch, so it is not very efficient as well as non-reliable.

To overcome the difficulties of switching the load ON/OFF manually here we are introducing load shedding time management for utility department system. This proposed has an inbuilt real time clock (RTC) to keep tracking the time and thus to switch ON/OFF the load accordingly.

Block diagram:

The 8051 microcontroller programmed in such a way that we can set the actual time and load shedding time. Using the program we can monitor both real time and load shedding time. The RTC shows the real time at every instant and interfaced to a microcontroller of 8051 family once the RTC is programmed, it will work continuously even though the power goes off in between.

While the set time equals to the real time, then microcontroller gives command to the corresponding relay to turn ON the load and then another command to switch OFF as per the program. Multiple ON/OFF time entry is the biggest advantage with this project. A matrix keypad helps entering the time. A 7-sement display or LCD is interfaced to the microcontroller to display time

Programmable Medication Reminder System

Programmable Medication Reminder System

Programmable Medication Reminder System

It’s Very Important for Patients Who Must Have Their Medication Permanently and time to time but Sometimes They forget and Need To Be Reminded It also takes into consideration the disabled or aged people that may have problems to remind themselves of the time and the medicine to be taken.

Here we are introducing programmable medication reminder system which has An Ability to Remind People about Dose Time with a buzzer sound but also displays the name of the medicine to be taken at that time. The patient can store the respective time of the particular medicine through a matrix keypad and RTC used maintains an accurate time as it is supported by a crystal.

Block diagram:

The 8051 microcontroller used in this project.By using the keypad, the prescribed timings can be entered, at which the patients have to take medicine. This information is then saved to the microcontroller’s EEPROM, so configuration only needs to be performed once, even if the device is unplugged temporarily.

Based on an RTC (Real Time Clock) interfaced to the microcontroller, the programmed time for medicine is displayed on the LCD and sound a buzzer to alert the patient about taking the appropriate medicine.
