Abstract

AbstractThis project is a basic system which aims to control the intensity of light. It presents a strategy by virtue of which the user can vary the intensity of light. The main issue with lighting systems is that they are either completely ON or completely OFF. There is no provision of partial lighting which can make a system more efficient. The idea is to control intensity of light using TRIAC, OPTO-COUPLER, zero crossing detector and PIC microcontroller. This results in the saving of electrical energy. Keywords: Energy efficient, Light intensity variation, PIC microcontroller, TRIAC, Zero Crossing DetectorCite this ArticleN. Verma, S. Banerjee, S.
