DEVELOPMENT OF PORTABLE DUAL AXIS SOLAR TRACKER

On Wednesday, 28th August 2019, we had our third meeting. This week was about a workshop of introduction and literature review writing. The lecture was held at TTL 2 from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm. All important notes are jotted down and after session ends, the attendance of students are recorded. The Structure of the Proposal Abstract Table of content Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Literature Review Chapter 3: Methodology Chapter 4: Result and Discussion Conclusion References The content of Introduction: Background of the project Problem Statement Objectives of the Project Significance of the Project Scope and Limitation of Project/Research Chapter Summary The content of Literature Review: Introduction Overview of the Project Previous Works Other Methods Conclusion/Recommendations Chapter Summary Conclusion: Research, Introduction and Literature Review was written and showed to Dr Jawad.

This week is the final week for FYP Project Title Registration. The title will be registered by our supervisor. The deadline for this registration is 23th August 2019. I managed to submit my project title and synopsis of the project to Dr Jawad on time. My title and the synopsis of the project are: Title Project Development of Portable Dual Axis Solar Tracker. [Abbr: PDST] Synopsis Portable Dual Axis Solar Tracker is needed to make solar tracking manageable and easier. Further, the proposed PDST does not require more than one people to adjust it because it can be simply monitored using Blynk app and can be controlled remotely. Blynk app is used to measure the amount of energy that will acquire if the portable solar tracker is placed somewhere. Also the app will show the total power acquired from the solar panel. Last but not least, this project also has a USB port which can transfer the power acquired from the solar panel to other device such as cell phone etc. ...

After making a draft on the main objectives of the project, problem statement, introduction, scope and limitations that I want to invent, during the end of the week 3, I decided to meet my supervisor, Dr Jawad to show my draft. Objectives: ·          To make solar panel movable from a place to another place. ·          To move the solar panel facing the sunlight fully. ·          To ease user in tracking realtime statistic of the solar panel. ·          Converts the energy to battery. Problem Statement: • Existing Solar panels issues: • Static and not portable. • Do not   face the sunlight fully. • The amount of energy absorbed is unknown. Conclusion: For the list of component used and the function of the project, I will meet my supervisor again on week 4.

On Wednesday, 7th August 2019, Students who are in Final Year Project 1 had their first meeting with Dr Imran at TTL 2. During two hours briefing, student was briefed about the subject. During the class, we are exposed with introduction, course outline, FYP evaluation FYP Generic Title Guide and General advices. Introduction Dr Imran had brief us about FYP Introduction and much more input and tips. Students need to know the purpose of FYP , aim, objective and other content of FYP. 2. Course Outline A handout has been given to use about the guidance and schedule throughout the semester. Students are allocated with 17 weeks of FYP 1 course. and during week 10, students need to perform their Proposal Defense Presentation. Figure 2.1: The activities Allocated from Week 1 until Week 8 Figure 2.2 : The activities Allocated from Week 9 to Week 17 3. FYP Evaluation The Evaluation including: Logbook/Blog : 30% Proposal Defense Presentation : 35% Project...

The activity during week 2 related to week 1. Student needs to elaborate on their planned project. As for me, I have met Dr Jawad to show him my project and he accepted my ideas. My ideas on final year project are: A portable Solar Tracker A solar panel that has dual-axis Has a real time statistic to keep track with the energy Has a battery bank USB port included as energy output I also did some reading about Solar Tracker and the existed solar panel and I figured out the flaws and the improvement needed. Conclusion: As a research has been made, I am making a draft on the main objective of the project, problem statement, background and scope and limitation of the project.
