A Design of Power Notification System Via SMS

Amo Xcandra, Anareta Mary Claire, Glorioso Harley. “A Design of Power Notification System via SMS”. Unpublished Project Study for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering, College of Engineering and Technical Department, Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation, Lucena City, March 2015. Circuit breakers are widely used in homes and industry, as a part of protection from any power interruptions. The study is a system constructed through innovating electronics, electrical, and networking theories combining electronic components, electrical devices and cellular technology. The proponents used research and development as the paradigm to attain the desired result. Hence, “A Design of Power Notification System via SMS” is constructed. It provides a way to monitor the system and notify through SMS. Labor services on the Technical Operating Center such as monitoring the operation of power in every facility can be omitted. Thus, efficient monitoring and notification system can be achieved. The microcontroller unit proves to be a reliable and effective processor of the circuit breaker. A relay is an electromechanical switch it provides accurate signal on the MCU. Provided by the desired output oriented on the input of the system the MCU will function. Inputs such as any power interruption on the electrical lines or SMS send by the recipient. Users are able to check the status of the breaker from an LCD or check its status via SMS. A microcontroller is integrated on the GSM module that serves as the communicating device of the system through the outside world. The study emphasized the automation of notification and monitors the state of power in the circuit breaker onto a great distance. The researchers and the respondents agreed that the system prove its functionality, efficiency, and effectiveness based on the result of the prototype and meets its objectives.
