In this project we are aiming to design a system which ean detect the theft on power i paring the input power with output pow he W echnologies should be dissemi so that by sending sms through GSM module. PROBLEM STATEMENT: For the detection of theft on lines and for checking meters either they are having any fault or not the WAPDA personnel have to visit themselves for keeping on the uss nthe to prevent any loss of pow: fating due to which the man power and as well as U expenditure on every visit, may be several times a week is the main issue for WAPDA, Due to the corruption of some lower class WAPDA line men, there was quite difficulty for the Officers to detect where the problem lies, and government has to suffer shortage of power ial resources, And the WAPDA check th ver the bill to every particular user. and finan) er readers have to go first Unit used and then should have to del AIMS & OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJEC + The objective is to detect the theft for saving t WAPDA resources. + Our second objective is to inform the WAPDA office nt the theft on the main line on real time basis. +The third objective that can help the WAPDA is to take the readings of different meters. METHODOLOGY: ‘The methodology to build this system is qu the 220V output from the transformer will be given to Je simple Current transformer which measures the current by using ADC, the other part of 220 will be given to different energy meters. All the energy meters also contain C.T for measuring current, Each meter have its own Zigbee, which sends the current information to main unit, the main unit also contains Zighee which ives th information from different meters, the main unit adds all the current and compares it with the input with the output then the information about theft vill be sent to WAPDA head office, also this informati will he displayed on LCD. rent, if t put current does not mateh EXPERIMENTAL SET UP : In this Project the transformer will allow the step down power to flow to the two Electricity meters which will Frequency, Amperes, Voltage and will also show the Units down for electricity usage [4]. A GSM Module will he attached to the main Transformer along with MATN LCD which will show rating or Transformer power as well as the two Electricity meters attached in this experiment, the Zigbee will receive the data and will send it to the WAPDA through GSM. Along with two electricity meter, Zighee transmitters are attached which will allow the reading to transmit to main Zighee receiver attached to the Main Transformer, Each meter will haye its own LGD to show readings separately.

Projects like “Underwater Acoustic Communication”, provides an inspiration and corroboration to overcome those intensified modern desires of technology. 82| JULY 2014 ‘What is Underwater Acoustic Communication? Tris about wireless communication in underwater, where data is transmitted through 2 Piezo transducer in underwater in terms of sound, which is then received by hydrophone wirelessly The received acoustic data will he processed, analyzed and simulated to remove the ambient noises and multipath propagation effects of the underwater environment. Scope ‘The need for underwater wireless communications exists in applications such as remote control in off shore oil industry, pollution monitoring in environmental systems, secimie monitoring, collection of scientifie data recorded at ocean bottom stations, speech transmission between divers, mapping tf the ocean floor for detection of objects. unobstructed operation of unmanned or autonomous underwater vehieles (UUVs, AU voice processing of underwater living things (ice. fishes ete) xs well as for the discovery of new resources. Technology Used Since sound is the only quantity that travels underwater, here, Morse code serves as an efficient technique to transmit textual data in terms of sound through Piezo transducers. [t also provides data encryption facility. Standard delays are relatively ‘casier to implement with and to synchronize both the transmitter and the receiver, Indeed, better designing filters will help to rediuew much of the ambient noises, For data analysis, Bliptical filters give the best possible output to the users. Since it is designed for audio signals, has equal passband and stopband inples and are always stable. Articles Pakistan Engineering Council JULY 2014| 83 Sh. Safder Ali & Co. (Pvt) Ltd.
