ENERGY-EFFICIENT WATER PUMP CONTROL WITH FOUR-TIME SLOT AUTO TURN-OFF

Abstract

Nowadays the modern technologies are helpful in all aspects of our life. Due to this lots of development done in the field of agricultural. The solar energy converted into electrical energy by photo voltaic cells. This energy stored in batteries during the day time to run the water pump for agriculture and distribute the water to the farm. The project is designed to operate the water pump at four different time slots. It prevents the difficulties of switching the pump on/ off manually. Real time clock interfaced to Arduino then Arduino give command to the corresponding relay to start the load and another command to switch off the load is programmed by the user. A matrix keypad helps to entering different time slots. Switching the pump ON/OFF manually these difficulties can be overcome using this project. There be an inbuilt real time clock (RTC)which keeps tracking the time and thus switches ON/OFF the pump accordingly.In this project, solar panel used to charge the battery a lcd display is interfaced to the to display time. We are setting the time slots from app through wifi communication.
