Project Recap
 Project Goal
Give people a means to monitor and control the
electrical devices within their households.
 Motivation
• Energy conservation has a significant social &
economic impact.
• It is hard to conserve energy because
• Limited quantitative data
• Limited social awareness
• Limited residential control

Tim’s MDR Review
 At MDR I had reverse engineered the critical
components of the P4400 Kill-a-Watt device.
 From this process, circuit schematics for each
subsystem of the device were generated.
 In addition, a proprietary design for a
transformerless power supply was created,
simulated and laid out on a PCB.
• The specifications of were designed to match the power
requirements for our components.

Tim’s Proposed CDR Goals
 Prototype modified “Tweet-a-Watt” for real-time
data
 Complete proprietary design of watt meter
subsystems
 Integrate relay and XBee layouts into proprietary
design
 Complete schematic and PCB layouts for a fully
functioning system
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Initial Power Supply Design
Initial PCB layout for the transformer less power supply design schematic with a 15V
and 50mA output.

Design Revision: Power Supply
 Initial design for a
transformerless power
supply presented
efficiency & fail safe
challenges.
• Conversion Efficiency of
~10%
CUI Series VSK-S1 Model 5U
 Opted instead for a
commercial power
supply in a fail safe
configuration.

Design Choice: Relay Circuit
The simulation results for the XBEE
trigger showing relay control
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
11
Design Choice: Current & Voltage Sense
Utilization of the INA128P instrumentation amplifier from Texas Instruments
was chosen due to the design being specifically applicable to our objective
and high CMRR of 130dB.

12
Current & Voltage Sense Subsystem
Circuit schematic and simulation output from the implemented
design show the voltage values corresponding to current and
voltage readings being sent to the XBEE.

•
Relay – 220V @ 20A
NPN transistor controls coil current (80mA)
R1 pulls the trigger pin to ground so if
anything goes haywire the relay will remain
in the safe (Off)
Diode – protects power supply and nearby
parts
Cost: $5

Additional Design Notes
 Physical Storage Requirements
• Trade off between accuracy & storage size
• Past Year
• Minute intervals => 4.2MB per outlet per year
• >1 Year
• Fifteen Min. intervals => 280KB per outlet per year
• Total per outlet = 4.2MB + 4*280KB = 5.3MB
• Est. Household Total (5 yr, 100 outlets) = ~0.5GB
