The presence of an activated mobile phone can be detected by this handy, pocket-size mobile signal detector from a distance of one and a half meters, which could be used in… Continue Reading
The development of any nation and its economy at large is centred on reliable and efficient power supply. Many developing nations are yet to actualise this feat, and therefore, there is need to strategize to meet the ever-rising demand for energy. Battery-based inverter systems have over the years provided additional power supply to… Continue Reading
The Ghanaian transit system poses certain challenges to users, as it usually has passengers waiting at bus stops for a bus to their destination, for an unknown amount of time because there is no means of tracking the buses. The system is also problematic as passengers usually argue with bus conductors for change, when payments are made in… Continue Reading
PV modules exhibit a point at which its power is maximum; this point is called Maximum Power Point (MPP). Due to changes in weather conditions, the MPP changes and the PV module efficiency. Specifically, temperature and irradiance are the parameters that affect the solar panel characteristic properties. This project describes and… Continue Reading
Imagine a five-year-old boy losing his life by being knocked down by a drunk driver who has been intoxicated with alcohol. The driver’s carelessness will cause the family of the little child so much pain, as well as lead to a significant loss of human resources in the country. Road accident according to research has been the second… Continue Reading
This study presents the modelling and optimization of a Hybrid Energy System (HES) for GSM Base Transceiver Station (BTS) sites in emerging cities. The aim is to ensure reliable and cost-effective power supply, considering the availability, dynamism and viability of energy sources. Theoretical approach is applied in the modelling,… Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The problem of epileptic power supply and its consequences in the developing countries is a generally known issue. Worst still, the hope that it will be addressed with the deregulation of electricity Industries in recent time are being dashed by flight to top class investors due to its poor implementation. There is a need to provide… Continue Reading
This project presents a 40A maximum power point tracking solar charge controller. The MPPT charge controller tries to keep the voltage and the power stable. The MPPT charge controller will harvest more power from the solar array – it will adjust its input voltage to harvest the maximum power from the solar array and then transform this… Continue Reading
This project work covers the design and construction of a robotic arm mechanically capable of 5 Degrees of Freedom. It solves the problem of automatically detecting and picking up objects placed within distances of 10-30cm round the robot base platform. It does this by using a simplified forward and inverse kinematic relation modeled in… Continue Reading
Consumers’ complaints of estimated bills from the Utility have risen to an alarming extent in recent years. On the other hand, Utility incurs huge losses attributing it to electric energy consumption theft among consumers. These complaints by the utility and the consumer led to the quest for a system that in addition to recording… Continue Reading
The purpose of this project was to design and develop a Computer Based Testing (CBT) system in order to facilitate the process of conducting e-examinations especially in tertiary institutions. There is a growing need to find an easy and effective way to carryout continuous assessments for the increasing population of students. The CBT… Continue Reading
With the growing demand for higher bandwidth multimedia services in a network domain over the past few years, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) has emerged as a fine solution. ATM provides mobility support for mobile users as they move among base stations. One of the key issues to support user mobility is the handoff. Efficient usage of… Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The word “vote” means to choose from a list, to elect or to determine. The main goal of voting (in a scenario involving the students of a given tertiary institution), is to come up with student-leaders of the students’ choice.Most tertiary institutions, FUTO not an exception have problems when it comes to voting. Some of the… Continue Reading
The goal of this project was to design a data logging interface using wireless network principle in order to facilitate the process of monitoring physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity, e.tc in the environment. There is a growing desire to find an efficient and cost effective means to monitor these physical… Continue Reading
The basic idea deals with detecting the voltage collapse ahead of time to provide the operators a lead time for remedial actions and for possible prevention of blackouts. To detect cases of voltage collapse, pattern recognition in conjunction with power system simulator for engineering (PSSE) program was created and then … Continue Reading
—Radiation on BPLC caused by presence of high frequency communicating signals is discussed in this paper. The paper presents the derived mathematical model which expresses electric field radiation behavior of BPLC system. The model was developed using the combined numerical method of moment (MOM) and transmission line transient (TLT)… Continue Reading
This project report is an excerpt of the design of a Micro-controller based Access Control Lock system implemented to assist the university with the aid of security personnel in the prompt detection of students who have not completed necessary fees payment and to checkmate the problem of the ever increasing rate of examination… Continue Reading
This work analysed the current state of power system in Nigeria with emphasis on distribution system using Akwa Ibom Distribution System as a case study. The components of the study system were analyzed. This work adopted the analytical and simulation approach to reliability and stability assessment. Analysing the system the way it is… Continue Reading
This project is about water level indicator using raspberry pi. In this project we used led to indicate the different levels and the raspberry pi to display were exactly the level is at in terms of percentages. The simple water level indicator will activate an active buzzer which will make a continuous noise when a certain level of water is… Continue Reading
The purpose of this experiment was to obtain a basic knowledge on digital electronics and in turn set the stage to perform the analysis and design of complex digital electronics circuits. It also served as an opportunity to learn how the motion sensor worked by using it to turn the LED on/off. This was done by examining results that were… Continue Reading
A temperature sensor is a device that reads the temperature of the surrounding and relays the temperature either in degrees Celsius or Kelvin. The LM335 temperature sensor (used in the experiment) gives out the temperature in degrees Celsius. It is calibrated to output the millivolt voltage reading in proportion to its units of measurement… Continue Reading
A Mobile Ad-hoc Data Network (MADNET) is a self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices (nodes) where nodes communicate with each other using multi-hop wireless links. Node failures and arbitrary movement of nodes at higher node velocity break the routes and lead to the frequent operation of rebuilding routes that… Continue Reading
This research work on “Modelling and Simulation of Leakage-Induced Pressure drops along oil and gas pipelines tends to develop flow equations that can detect and localize leakages in oil and gas pipelines by modifying the Darcy-weisbach equation for liquid/oil flow, and the Panhandle B equation for natural gas flow in pipelines. These… Continue Reading
