DISPOSITIVO DE CORTE E RELIGAMENTO DE ENERGIA RESIDENCIAL ATRAVÉS DA TECNOLOGIA BLUETOOTH

Abstract

The work demonstrates the elaboration of a device that performs the interruption in the residential power supply remotely, in order to minimize the expenses in the accomplishment of the activity, bringing the use of technologies of great reliability. This research aims to develop means to reduce the numbers of back and forth for the performance of cutting and reclosing operations of energy in the state of Minas Gerais. The study is justified because the project has a great chance of being implemented throughout the country, once it becomes agile, safe and efficient the suspension activity in the delivery of energy, ensuring a significant reduction in costs to carry out the procedures. The current economic situation in Brazil, the slowdown in consumption and production implies a high unemployment rate in the country, which has as a consequence the monthly growth of defaulting customers with electric power concessionaires. Moving along this same line of reasoning, this work aimed to collaborate in order to promote actions to combat the growing number of defaulters in the electric sector, and investments in technologies help to guarantee this collection in a very effective solution. The project was developed using components such as bluetooth connections, control like Arduino and power switching as the relays where the device are receiving their commands remotely through a smartphone with the Android operating system and with an application created on the platform App Inventor, since this app was developed in a simple and specific way for this project, since the Arduino program is done in an IDE platform written in Java that has the responsibility to process the commands received and to order the other components in the output ports . Another point was the realization of this project with the lowest possible cost and without losing the quality of the product, since it will have to be installed in each residence generating an additional cost for this, in turn with its efficiency in performing the activity, there is a faster return on invested value due to non-use of special vehicles, qualified technicians, PPE expenses and training to suspend power supply, and the device is fully operated remotely.
