Abstract:
On board ship it is necessary to have a display unit for the power
consumption on each system in order to overcome and avoid overload. The
presence of wattmeter bring easier for the checking process that will come
out reading of the total power has been used by the system.
This project intends to display power consumption on a dc generation
module by using wattmeter. The purpose of this teaching aid is to portray the
power value (watt) of each system been used on the wattmeter. The
construction of wattmeter are system out by the microprocessor, Arduino
Nano. The dc power generation module consist of generator and alternator
model that delivered their current to the specific systems such as, air
ventilation system and lightning system can be most easily demonstrated
using this teaching aid. For the teaching and learning purposes, this
wattmeter that act to display out the reading of power consumption (Watt) on
the lcd screen which calibrated by the specific coding of each system based
per on board ship .This project which is more environmentally friendly
particularly for in class uses as it is portable module.
This teaching aid is expected to provide better understanding on value
of power consumption or wattmeter that tend to portray the reading of a
system as per on board ship in watt.
