Design and Implementation of Zero Standby Power System Using PIR Luminaire

Abstract

This paper further improves the previous work made to reduce the leakage power of electric home appliances. All the electric appliances consume electricity when they are in standby mode. It is one of operating mode of an appliance in which the appliances are not performing their primary task. In this paper a zero leakage power saving system is introduced which will saves the power when only leakage power is associated with the appliances. The appliances will be physically disconnected from mains supply whenever device remains in standby mode for some specific time. The system has three modes of operations – compulsory ON mode, compulsory OFF mode and Intelligent mode. In compulsory ON mode all the appliances will perfume their primary function, in compulsory OFF mode all the appliances will be detached from the mains supply and in intelligent mode the PIR sensors senses the motion and accordingly the electrical appliances will be turned on or off as per requirement. In this way the intelligent mode will saves the energy by making the standby power equal to zero and if the standby power get reduced then the total power consumption also get reduced and it reduces our electricity bill too.
