Week 12

Title: fyp sem 1 presentation

Objective: To present about the project

Discussion/Analysis:

This week, we have been  evaluated  by the examiner in project presentation. Every student will be given two examiners. My first examiner is, Miss. Fazlin and second examiner are, Dr. Khairil instead of Sir. Ismail Adam due of hie emergency leave. They ask many questions about  my project. This happens to all the fyp sem 1 student. In my opinion, this is good thing because from the assessor we know better about how the project will be thought by others. Furthermore, the assessor also give a good feedback and tell me how should i done this project supposedly. The feedback will be discuss with my advisor.

Week 11

TITLE: Presentation preparation

OBJECTIVE: 
To ensure student get ready for their presentation

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:

For this week, I had prepare my slide for my presentation which will be on thursday 12/4/2012. I had included all the the work that i had done before this inside the slide except the circuit. This is because the circuit had not been completed yet. Then I went to see Sir. Suhairi to check my slide for any correction. Sir.Suhairi give some advice on how to do a good presentation. He also said that I need to study and get prepared about my project so that during my presentation, I can explain about my project in detail and give  better understanding to the assessors. 

CONCLUSION:
As the conclusion, I had successful done my presentation slide and ready for the presentation next week. 

Week 9 and 10

Title: Proceed with  proposal

Objective:To ensure student understand about the project and do the minor correction.

Discussion/Analysis:

Our supervisor Mr.Suhairi asks me to completed proposal and done the correction. He also told us to do slide presentation and get prepared for fyp sem 1 presentation which will coming soon. Begins to start doing the proposal and also get to understand more the projects concepts and start to thinks how to build it roughly.

week 8

TITLE: Designing block diagram

OBJECTIVE: 
To identified what is the operation involved in the project.

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: 

BLOCK DIAGRAM

This is latest block diagram and some improvement have been made from the first block diagram. As we can there is an Inverter putted in the block diagram. This features of the improvement can be made in this projects and if it is done, it will increase the budget due of the an inverter price is expensive. I do some discussion with Sir. Suhairi and he said it is not necessary to have an inverter but i can put it later if it is necessary for later used.

CONCLUSION:

As the conclusion, the block diagram is successful designed and other people will understand more about this project as the block diagram help them.

Week 7

OBJECTIVE: 

Improvement of the design

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

This week i just doing the design on how should i design my projects should look like. So i decide my project of micro hydro generator should look like the picture. This is due the practical design, portable and easy to operates.

CONCLUSION:

From this task, I can identified how the design should be in this project.

Week 6

Title: Searching for component

Objective: To give student more understanding about the component involved

Discussion/Analysis:

I went to Jalan Pasar, Kuala Lumpur to start search for components for my FYP. I didn't buy it. I just want to know that the components were sold or not. If not, I need to order it from outside or replace it with the other component that have the similar characteristic with the component that I desire. From this also, I can estimated the cost that needed for this project and make me well prepared in term of financial. I went to see Mr. Suhairi and bring my estimated budget. We discuss further about the circuit that been modified by me. We try to add another feature to this circuit driver.

Week 5

Title: search the senior which do the project relates to mine

Objective: To get more understanding about the Hydro generator

Discussion/Analysis: 

 
This week, I went to my supervisor and discuss more detail about my project. I have been asked by Sir. Suhairi to find the details from the senior which do the same title as mine. from the finding, i found the senior and ask him a few question about their projects. The answer i get from them is to do this project needs to understand the area where this project is implement. have to study on size, the flow of the pipe and choose the correct turbine to obtained the desire output of the generator. Besides, i also ask them about the circuit they used in their project and find rather if i can do some improvement or modification of their projects and applied to mine's.

Week 4

TITLE: Work plan of the project


OBJECTIVE: 
To identified how the project work.


ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:This project will be done in two semester. For the first semester, it only need the the student to do research base on the project they choose. Research is categorized by two which are from internet and book/journal. Simulation is made to design and test the circuit and also for troubleshooting before the real circuit is constructed
On the second semester, I will start construct and assembling the component at the breadboard first and identify if it work as the simulation and do some troubleshooting if it not work or function properly. Then when there is no problem with the circuit, i will construct on the PCB board as the final result. 


CONCLUSION:
From this task, I will know how to plan and manage my time with my FYP project. It's also work as a guideline to me.

Week 3

TITLE :


Research information about the project.



OBJECTIVE :


To ensure student understand about the project.
To analyze every part of system use in the project


CONTENT/PROCEDURE


In this week, we do the research, and understand every part of system we use in this project. After doing the research, the main of objective the project is to develop system Micro Hydro Generator. To study every part of the turbine, generator, circuit and the battery.

RESULT & ANALYSIS

The sketching of block diagram and sketching of design of system to make we easy to understand the project. From the source, the kinetic power will move the turbine. As the turbine is move the generator will follow the move of the turbine and it start produce the electricity. The electric produce in the generator will be stored in the battery. while it is stored in the battery, it will also supply to the load. for the protection of the battery life the cut-off circuit is required to be installed to prevent the battery to keep charging when it is already fully charged. the diversion loads is the ac load which for the improvement of the project later on. Where the conversion circuit such as inverter need to be installed for this diversion load to function.



CONCLUSION:

In this week, we can conclude the progress week 3 is successfully to make we understand system in project. We can continue the progress in week 4 to continue the proposal for the project.

Week 2

TITLE: Discussion with advisor about the proposal


OBJECTIVE:

Week 1

TITLE:


Find the title and advisor for FYP


OBJECTIVE:

To get the title for the final year project.
To guide student how to make final year project.
To get the information from advisor.

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:


In this week, it is necessary to find a supervisor or advisor to supervise the FYP (final year project). finding the right advisor is not an easy task due lacks of lecturer in this campus and the lecturer are fully booked for this reason I almost use whole week around in the campus to find a supervisor and at last I went to see Mr. Suhairi Rizuan Bin Che Ahmad my Power Quality lecturer after my friends said he still available for accepting another 1 student. He agreed to be my supervisor and he give the FYP tittle which is Smart 12V Micro Hydro Generator.

This is some introduction my project.

Smart 12V micro hydro generator, its a renewable, clean and cost efficient to compare to others source. the idea is implement in the house where the water tank supply the water through the pipeline. In the pipeline the generator is installed to produce the voltage which is 12V dc without disturbing the water flow in each channel. the voltage produced is connect to the load in the house such as charger, LED or any small electronics application.


CONCLUSION:
From this week, I can conclude that the objective is successful without so much trouble. I think the title proposed is very suitable and related to my study area which is electrical.
