> Hello All,
> CFI has taken up projects in collaboration with Prof. Ashok Jhunjhunwala, from the Department of Electrical Engineering. These projects are themed around developing energy efficient, smart and user-friendly systems that will take household power efficiency and automation to a whole new level. Please find below the descriptions of each of the projects.
> 1. Central Building Management System:
> This project is centered around home automation. It aims to develop a management system which, as its names suggests, can autonomously control various devices in your home, such as tube-lights, fans, television, ventilators etc. based on inputs from various sensors. The central system communicates with various sensors and performs actuations accordingly. For example, turning the lights and fans on and off based on activity in the room.
> 2. DC Devices (Speakers and Water Filters):
> Prof. Ashok has been working on a new method that can us rid of power black-outs. (Please read this article) Part of it involves development of various DC devices. This project aims at developing speakers and water filters which work on DC power supply.
> 3. Different ways of lighting
> This project deals with designing home lighting using LEDs. This is yet another move towards making most of your house DC-run.
> 4. DC Burst mode battery
> This project aims at building rechargeable battery systems which can also supply high current at the same voltage when necessary.

> 5. Development of Water Table map:
> The objective is to make a map of water consumption by estimating water consumed by each household based on electricity consumption data. The data would be obtained by a central system which then creates a map: mostly a web or mobile based application.

> Clearly, all these projects, if successful, will revolutionize electricity consumption and the usage of renewable sources of power, mainly Solar, in our country and the world. CFI encourages you to be a part of the revolution!
> We encourage senior students, mainly (current) 2nd and 3rd years who have experience in Electronics and/or Programming to take up these projects. All of these projects will be mentored by Prof. Ashok Jhunjhunwala's team, along with CFI's Electronics Club.
