microcontroller and GUI approach to reduce power consumption in lighting system and for security system of Departmental stores

Scientific Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, , language: English, abstract: In this research we explore the possibilities of developing the security system and reduce operational cost in departmental stores providing range of methods for maximum utilization of resources. We present a utility-based departmental store that can detect human interventions in every aisle and automatic control system that make adjustments based on conditions such as occupancy, light intensity level ensuring considerable energy saving and a security system using analogous sensors and actuators and GUI. Hence, we propose an intelligent lighting control strategy aided with PIR motion sensors and Graphical User Interface (GUI) all of which help significantly reducing energy usage and operational cost.
