Abstract: The gap between Electrical Energy supply and demand is great bottle neck to any country"s Economical growth. There has been an enormous increase in the global demand for energy in recent years as a result of industrial development and population growth. Supply of Energy is therefore far less than the actual demand. Hence, conserving energy is a must to match with the demand. Energy conservation can be achieved through increased efficient energy use in conjunction with decreased energy consumption. Our product smart intelligent regulator saves the energy by controlling the loads (Ex. Fans, lights and Air conditioners) by sensing the presence of people. Our product SIR detects the movements of the human beings and vehicles(etc) by sensing radiations (reflections) from their bodies with the help of PIR, ultrasonic and Electromagnetic Sensors. This avoids power consumption during non-occupancy and non productive hours. The product SIR does Real Time control of 6 loads(extendable) according to the schedule of operations required by the user, with pre determined 24 (RTC) time settings(increasable). In switched "ON" mode loads run under Sensor control and the lighting loads will be switched to "Bright Mode" in the presence and to "Dim Mode" in the non Presence. The other Electrical loads will be in "ON" condition in the presence and in "OFF" condition in non presence. Our System SIR comprises of Set of Sensors, Power Supply, Main Control Unit, Delay circuit with selection switch, R.T.C. with battery back-up, Serial communication interface (RS232), Dimming circuit and Relay Card (Load Driving Stage). Main control Unit controls the loads "ON" (BRIGHT & DIM) and "OFF" timings by receiving the signals from R.T.C, Set of Sensor and Delay Selection Circuit. The out puts from the control card are used to drive relay card to match with the current requirements of the loads. Serial Communication Interface (RS232) is provided to facilitate monitoring of R.T.C. timings and to re-set (when it is required). We can store up to 24 time settings(increasable) to control output loads. Delay selection switch is provided to facilitate the user to select 3 different delay timings viz- 5 mins, 10 mins & 15 mins. This delay is provided to extend the "BRIGHT Mode" duration of the lighting loads or "ON" time duration of the other electrical loads . i.e. when a person enters into the room (hall) the PIR- Sensor signals the control cards to activate relays to switch the loads into "ON" or BRIGHT Mode. If the time gap between the exit of a group of people and entry of another group of people is less than 5 mins there is no need to turn the loads into "OFF" or "DIM" Mode. So that we can avoid one cycle of operation. Hence, power saving will be more as we are avoiding transitions during which loads draw heavy initial currents. If the delay time selected is 5 mins and the time gap between entry and exit of the people is more, our product switches the loads into "DIM" or "OFF" mode. As our product is designed to switch "ON" the loads only when movement of people/vehicle is detected we can minimize energy wastage when no one is present. In offices usually it is observed that people normally forget to put the Lights, Fans Computers and Air Conditioners Off when they are not in use. As our product is provided with R.T.C we can pre-set the "ON" time and "OFF " time of the loads according to the Office timings, occupancy hours and Holidays, which reduces lot of power consumption in public places like Offices, Colleges, Commercial Buildings, Cinema Theaters, Canopy of petrol Bunks and BIG Halls.

3) IDEA FOR DEVELOPING THE PRODUCT:
About 20% of worlds energy is generated from coal and about 60% of worlds energy is generated from oil and natural gas. Because of extensive use of fossil fuel, such as coal, oil and natural gas, as primary source of energy today, the harmful emissions of GHG (Green House Gasses) such as Carbon Dioxide increases the GHG level in the atmosphere which traps the extra heat reflected from the earth resulting rise in temperature.
Scientists believes that global warming will cause the average World temperature rise by one Degree Celsius by the year 2020 and four Degree Celsius by the end of 21 st century.
Thus energy conservation has emerged as one of the major issues in recent years. Energy requirement in our country is increasing in a very rapid rate. While efforts are being made to improve availability of various energy sources, there is still a continuing gap between demand and supply of energy. Conservation and efficient utilization of energy resources play a vital role in narrowing the gap between demand and supply of energy.
Energy conservation is the quickest, cheapest and most practical method of overcoming energy shortage. To make our footprint in energy conservation, being an ESCO we developed a product called Smart intelligent Regulator.
In offices usually it is observed that people normally forget to put the Lights, Fans Computers and Air Conditioners 'Off' when they are not in use. Mostly on weekend evening they will be in hurry to rush homes forgetting loads to put 'OFF', resulting in energy consumption on a non productive day also. To avoid utilization of electrical energy on non productive day and during non occupancy hours our product has been developed.

4)Functional Description of SIR:
Our product as shown in the figure comprises of
1. Power supply
2. Set of the sensors
3. Delay circuit with selection switch
4. R.T.C with battery back up
5. Main control unit
6. Serial communication interface ( RS 232)
7. Dimming Circuit and
8. Relay Card
1 Power supply: Power supply is an electronic circuit which converts regular AC 230 V in to required D.C levels. In the first stage Line voltage (230v AC ) will be reduced to required A.C levels using step down transformer with tapings . These reduced AC levels will be rectified to get required levels of D.C. These D.C voltages consists of ripple components which can't be used directly to drive digital circuit. Hence filtering stage will be usually incorporated in any power supply. Here the power supply supplies 5v and 12v D.C as per the requirement of the remaining circuit.
2.Set of sensors : Our product comprises of six sensors in combination either of PIR, Ultrasonic and Electromagnetic versions to sense the occupancy of the people/Vehicles. Sensors are used to sense the movements of people and vehicles, and sends signals to the main control card. So that the occupancy of the people/Vehicles will be detected.
3 Delay selection switch : This switch is used to select three different delay timings i.e 5mts. 10mts, and 15 mts. as per the user requirements. Here delay is provided to extend the 'ON' condition of the loads. Suppose l0mts delay time is selected and entry time of the person is less than 10 mts. from the exit time of the 1®* person there is no need of switching the loads to "OFF" mode and the loads continue to be in "ON" mode from the 1®' person's entry time to person exit time + 10 mts. This avoids transitions in the smaller durations which in turn contributes to power savings as loads draw heavy currents during transitions.
4. Real time clock ( with battery back UP) : This enables the user to pre-set and re-set switching timings of the Loads as per the office timings and holidays or as per the requirement of the user.
5. Main control Unit: This receives the signals from RTC, PIR sensors and delay selection switch. After receiving the signals from the above, main control card computes and decides the ''ON''(BRIGHT and DIM) time and "OFF" time of the loads to be controlled .
6. Serial communication interface: This is provided to facilitate the user to re-set the time settings (24 time settings) of the R.T.C.
7. Dimming Circuit: This circuit is used to operate the Lighting loads in two modes i.e 'DIM' and 'BRIGHT'.
8. Relay card: This is provided to facilitate the user to drive 6 loads and to match with the requirement of the load currents . Main control card sends the control signal and energizes that particular relay to choose" make" contact to drive that particular load. ''ON"(BRIGHT and DIM) and "OFF" time of the loads will be decided by the control signal that is being sent by main control unit. Hence loads will be 'ON' only during Occupancy Hours (as per RTC time settings) and will be in BRIGHT mode when people are present.
Hence lot of power conservation can be achieved using this product.
