PROGRESS REPORT


Subject Progress Report (September 9 until December 20, 2013) Development of Electrical Energy Meter Monitoring System with Mobile Network Integration.


Introduction:


The main goal of this engineering project is to read the electric meter current using mobile phone through Global System Mobile (GSM). In another word, it is to know the day-to-day use of electricity and to curb the problem forgotten symptom.



Work Complete from September 9 until December 20, 2013:


I have done many researches for my Final Year Project. After discussing on the nature of the project and the objectives, I have come an understanding about the project. So the work plan had been create to guide the whole project progress.I try to do the progress of my progress as much as I could do. I have plan very details about work and task I need to do later on. I have planned to find out how the Global System Mobile (GSM) is working. In addition, I have to make some research how do the PIC and GSM are interfaced in order to get the constant and best result. From now, I have learned basic technique that I can apply in my project.


Conclusion:


There are several scopes of work for this project: is a combination of hardware and software development. The hardware Development of Electrical Energy Meter Monitoring System with Mobile Network Integration includes electronics component and external component such as energy power meter, GSM modem, mobile phone and etc. Electrical Energy Meter Monitoring System with Mobile Network Integration is very useful in the application which applied new technology that can save cost of electricity provider and giving actual billing rate to customer rather than estimate value based on previous consumption.

PRESENTATION WEEK


This is the project presentation week, for FYP sem 1. All FYP sem 1 students will be at Gemilang Hall starting 2 pm until 5 pm. Each student have two assessors to evaluate their project presentation. For my presentation, I was evaluated by two assessors, first Madam Mazhaniza binti Muzamil and another assessor is Madam Nor Khairiah binti Ibrahim. I has present the best I can do without any problems and thanks a lot to our assessors by making our presentation goes smooth and easy.

PRESENTATION PREPARATION


In week 10, all FYP sem 1 students will have their project presentation at Gemilang Hall. The purpose of this presentation was to tell the assessor/evaluator about the project ideas and the objective of producing the project. As a preparation for the presentation, I need to make the presentation slides. The slides must contain the introduction of the project, problem statement, objective, project limits, the work plan and also the methodology. I made the slides and discuss with my supervisor/adviser about it. There were some correction and addition needed to be made before the presentation slides ready to be presented in front of the evaluator.

PROGRESS 8 : BUDGET



Total for all costing is RM700. All the costing and budget above are the estimate only and all the item and components are not finalized at all because there is only estimate and maybe involve with other components and other circuit or any upgrading to the project.

Saturday, 9 November 2013

PROGRESS 7 : WORK PLAN 


The starting point of this project is the literature review and theoretical study. But, these actions are continuous as new information must be gathered from time to time in order to proceed with this project.
After having an overview of the component to include in this project, the suitable components were selected based on the scope and limitation of this project. Hardware implementations begin after the components were available. After that, the whole system was integrated for testing and optimization before the real demo and presentation to the panel of the final year project.



The time frame allocated for this research study is 8 months. It will start in September 2013 and is projected to be completed in May 2014. The Gantt chart for the project and its milestone are shown as in Table 1.
Development of Electrical Energy Meter Monitoring System with Mobile Network Integration configurations for data centre application will be build to enables the community to visualize the impact and application of the proposed methods in determining the best solutions in designing it with respect to reliability and cost. This project will be presented in the FYP Presentation Day.

PROGRESS 6 : OBJECTIVE & BENEFIT/CONTRIBUTIONS



OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this project is to find out the daily electricity consumption through mobile phone. In addition, there have other objectives related to each other as shown below:

  1. To know the day-to-day use of electricity.
  2. To curb the problem forgotten symptom.
  3. To conserve electricity bills.


BENEFIT/CONTRIBUTIONS

Benefit / contribution to use GSM Network:

  1. Code transmission speed with 2G speed.
  2. Can send conditions in the distance.
  3. Can save the data in the mobile phone.


SAFETY

This design meets the requirement of safety. Additionally, the design itself was under automatic controller. This design uses no crossing linkages which could lead to user injury. The care is taken in the manufacturing process to ensure there were no sharp edges or protrusions that could be dangerous. However, this design also just under lower consumption voltage.


MECHANISM FUNCTIONALITY 

The design is fully powered by the AC supply . Also the function it will run automatically when switch was ‘ON’, and doesn't need heavy components to carry, just mobile phone.

PROGRESS 5 : METHODOLOGY

BLOCK DIAGRAM



The following is an experiment to find out about turnover frequency waves. How the electricity consumption can be known or seen in mobile phone through GSM system. In everyday life, we are using electricity no matter daytime or at night. So with this system we can find out how much electricity a day in our homes. Now, the simpler explanation is when switch 'ON', the PIC program will start count the time has set and will send the electricity is being used to GSM. After that, the GSM will send the signal to the mobile phone or computer by SMS.

PROGRESS 4 : RESEARCH ON GROUP SPECIAL MOBILE (GSM)



I made another study on my project. I was searching the information on the GSM Network System that will be used in my project system. Here was some information gather in my finding:


     Global System Mobile (GSM) is a digital telephone system that digitizes and compresses data to help improve the speed of wireless mobile when communicating internationally. Now in our lives, we may not be aware of this GSM used. But this GSM used is very important so that every time we used it. With GSM Network system, we are able to communicate with each other. Here what I try to do is, I will set or program the data into GSM. Then GSM will receive data from sensor and then the GSM will send the data to handphone or Laptop.

PROGRESS 3 : INTRODUCTION


Before I get started with this project, I had done some researches about the Monitoring system using " GSM Network " to get overview for more understanding.


What is GSM Network?

     GSM (Global System Mobile), is a standard set developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to describe protocols for second generation (2G) digital celular network used by mobile phones. It became the factor global standard for mobile communications with over 80% market share. The GSM standard was developed as a replacement for first generation (1G) analog cellular networks, and originally described a digital, circuit-switched network optimized for full duplex voice telephony. This was expanded over time to include data communications, first by circuit-switched transport, then packet data transport via GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) and EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution or EGPRS). Further improvements were made when the 3GPP developed third generation (3G) UMTS standards followed by fourth generation (4G) LTE Advanced standards.

PROGRESS 1 : FYP BRIEFING


I'm currently a 2nd semester of the 3rd year student of Bachelor Engineering Technology(Hons) in Electrical in University Kuala Lumpur British Malaysian Institute. In order to complete my study, I have to take the most important module of all called Final Year Project (FYP). This module, according to the credit hour allocated in the study planner, is a mandatory to all degree students.

The first FYP briefing was held at TTL on 26 September 2013, we were being briefed by FYP coordinator about the methods and the flow of FYP 1 for this semester and the FYP 2 on the next semester. The main agenda during the final year project briefing are about to how to kickstart the FYP, the dateline of the tiltle to be submit and advisor selection.
