 1.INTRODUCTION
• This report serves as the progress made in the design of an IOT based
smart inverter
• DC to AC power inverters, which aim to efficiently transform a DC power
source to a high voltage AC source, similar to power that would be
available at an electrical wall outlet.
• An arduino module is integrated with a GSM module to offer wireless
switching of the inverter.

 Problems Encountered
• The main problem faced in the design process is producing a pure sine
through Pulse Width Modulation.
• Choosing the best switching devices while keeping everything within the
allocated budget limit.
• Keeping up with proposed timeline has also been challenging with some
activities expected to have delays and extensions needed.
 Changes in Requirement
• The author has realized it is not possible to construct a 1kW pure sine
inverter as it might stretch the budget as allocated in the proposal.
• As per the timeline initially proposed a revised version of the remaining
activities might be need to move the dates a further forward.
 Work Scheduled for next Phase
• Design of a signal driver for the mosfet for swithching
• Design of control switching using Arduino and GSM module.
• PCB Production
• Assembling of circuit components
• Final project Documentation completion.
 Conclusion on progress made so far
• The project has been gradually picking up pace and completion is not far
from execution hence an estimated time of two months will be enough to
complete it altogether.
