Measurement of Light Luminance and Temperature Monitoring for Real Time Energy Saving Applications Using Arduino Uno Atmega328
Abstract:
Energy conservation is currently being discussed globally across all platforms. However, the technical measures taken are not sufficient to solve the problem of energy crisis. In real time applications like street light control and maintenance, automation resulting in saving of energy is very important and critical. The paper presents an effective solution for automatic street light control by measuring the luminance of light in order to reduce the power wastage that happens during the day time. When light with different luminance is incident on a Light dependent resistor (LDR), its resistance varies according to the luminance of the light falling on it. Considering the LDR as part of a Signal conditioning circuit, we have obtained the output voltage that depends on the change in the resistance of the LDR. Hence, by measuring the output voltage, the luminance of the incident light on the surface is obtained. Finally, a relationship is established between luminance on the surface of the LDR and the distance of the light source. The paper also aims at designing an efficient multipurpose thermistor based temperature monitoring system that helps in the automation for real time applications.
