MY FINAL REPORT

VIDEO OF MY PROJECT

RECOMMENDATION

     This project is a good in the way to innovate the existing billing payment. The project of the application also has a good prospect for future development for commercialize it at the Consumer and Product Industry. On the part of improvement that can be done on this project are:

1)      Simulation      
     There are several steps to be taken or avoided in order to ensure the          successful of this project during the future research. Simulations using Proteus can be very confusing and hard because of the software limitations. The real components used for project sometimes are not listed in Proteus Library. Sometimes the created components are not working properly. The component should be add and create as a new component, and then set its instruction. Hopefully, there are a lot more software for simulating process other than Proteus which is capable of simulating RFID applications more efficiently.

2)       System
     Use two-way communication, meaning that the concept of Home Electricity E- Paid System module. That adding two sets LCD and PIC showed that for credit balances and also to use display the power consumption from the load. So users will be able to determine the amount of credit paid depends on the amount of power be used.

3)       Add some application
     Information will be sent to users who use the GSM module or through the network in case of credit runs out. With this addition, it will be easier for users to keep records of use and also can to-pup credit value by using the internet.

     Finally, whatever suggestion and improvement given above is only the opinion, which needs to be analyzed in details with components selection, budget costing and workable solution. 

CONCLUSION

     This Final Year Project "Home Electricity E-Paid System (HEES)" has been designed to implement the bill payment easier. Based on this whole report of HEES can conclude that the main objectives were successfully achieved where this project can reduce the credit after get pulse from Power Meter. The project HEES is successfully function such as it is required. The system is not complicated as it only requires the basic components for overall project. The errors occurred in the system are not difficult to identify due to the well organized in the circuit implementation. The application of this project can be categorized as a simple, safe and easy to understand.

     HEES is one of the best project planned is to eliminate lines at the counter to pay the bills each month will be reduced. It also helps users to spend more efficiently by improving management of their budget at the same time enable the company to reduce financial costs and operating costs and bad debts. All reports of improper system and technique of inaccurate meter readings can be overcome.


     The design of this product is friendly user with the structure of this system very quality. Really hope this project can be selling not only in the Malaysia’s market but also nationwide. HEES will change the way between customer and supplier interact. Most importantly, a lower bill means lower energy consumption. Good for the wallet, great for the environment.

OVERALL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

(HEES)

FAULT 2 (NO MONEY REDUCTION)

OBJECTIVE

- To analyze and solve the problem happen during build this project.

CONTENT

FAULT 2

There have problem that the credit not reduced although the load already used, it fault from connection interfacing hardware and software between the power meter and PIC.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAULT (NO MONEY REDUCTION)

     To trace the fault, check the circuit:

i. Troubleshoot Power Meter. The connection in the right position Pulse Reading Meter  (Pin 5 and Pin 6)                         

 ii.The software (program) right because no error after compile at the C Compiler

CONCLUSION

To solve the fault is to change the program from: 

1 KW = RM0.10      TO          1 PULSE = RM 0.10

The reduction depends on the pulse of the signal from Power Meter to PIC. It happens because for 1kW, it will take a long time because 1 kW = 1000 pulse.

FAULT 1 (RESISTOR BURN)

OBJECTIVE

- To analyze and solve the problem happen during build this project.

CONTENT

FAULT 1 

There have two connections wire of the same color this had been changes between 240V and 5V input.  From the fault, resistor become burn because overload the input supply and LCD cannot display the any value.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAULT 1 (RESISTOR BURN)

To trace the fault, check the circuit:
 i. Check the PIC burn or not. The PIC it still in good condition.

ii. Check  the connection on the track layout.

It is connected and has no damage or failure of the connection on track.

iii. Troubleshoot Power Meter. It still in good condition.

CONCLUSION

To solve the fault change the new resistor, 10kΩ and Crystal 20Mhz. so the problem has been resolved and the project run smoothly.

Replace of new component (Crystal = 20MHz) 

Replace of new component (Resistor = 10kΩ ) 

RESULT REDUCTION OF MONEY

CONCLUSION

AVERAGE DURATION TIME = 4:17 min

1 KW = 1000 PULSE

1 PULSE = RM 0.10

** DEPEND ON LOAD ARE USED
