Energy-Saving A.U.M. Device - Reduce Standby Power, Save Money, Sustainable Solution

The A.U.M. Device, a.k.a. "OHM," aims to eliminate standby power and reduce carbon dioxide emissions to enhance energy sustainability. With motion sensors, wireless controls, and accurate power calculations, this device offers user-controlled functionalities and significant energy savings. Its innovative features include timers, multiple modes, and efficient power usage measurement, ensuring a reduction in phantom power usage by up to 83%. The A.U.M. Device's design successfully integrates various components like microcontrollers, current sensors, and wireless communication for an optimal user experience.

  1. a.k.a “THE A.U.M. DEVICE”(PRONOUNCED “OHM”) By B. LöwenGruseck (EE) GardyLacombe (EE) Michael Sriprashad (EE) Sponsored by

  2. To save energy • Energy sustainability • Reduce Phantom Power • Reduce unwanted carbon dioxide emissions • Save money The A.U.M. Device

  3. The A.U.M. Device

  4. Eliminate standby power • Overall device to be energy efficient • Different modes of operations • User controlled onboard • User controlled wirelessly • Accurately calculate power usage The A.U.M. Device

  5. 3 outlets • 120V(RMS) AC 60Hz power input and output • Measures 5A, 120V • 75% savings on stand by power • 5V DC power for internal devices • Calculate power with at most +/- 5% error • At least10 bit wide ADC for power calculations • 2 user interface inputs • 100m wireless control The A.U.M. Device

  6. Motion Sensor Screen Wireless Communication Microcontroller Power Supply Current Sensor Wall (120V AC) Appliance Device Relay The A.U.M. Device

  7. StANDBY POWER SAVED • Pstandby =3*( .08A*120VRMS )= 28.8W • Pa.u.m.s. = (Pstandby/4) + 2.28W = 4.68W • Percent saved = 100% - 4.68W/28.8W = 83% saved! Cut-off power saved • Pstandby =3*( .08A*120VRMS )= 28.8W • Pa.u.m.s. = 0W + 2.28W = 2.28W • Percent saved = 100% - 2.28W/28.8W = 92% saved! The A.U.M. Device

  8. The A.U.M. Device

  9. The A.U.M. Device

  10. Using the hall effect sensors and magnets; the device can sense which pre set outlet is equipped • There are two pre set outlets • The first outlet the device into standby mode • The second outlet sets the device into sleep mode The A.U.M. Device

  11. Outlets turn off when timer runs out • User specified countdown • Timer overrides Standby Mode • Great for chargers or late nights The A.U.M. Device

  12. The A.U.M. Device

  13. Our project worked with very little problems in the end. The modes worked and the peripheral interfaces communicated effectively with the main device MCU Power Calculations came out to 0-5% accuracy as desired Some processes were delayed, due to constant interrupts and polling Streamlined MCU program and more sophisticated Android App would be ways to improve our design More compact physical and aesthetic housing design
