Arduino Based Solar Operated Grass Cutter

Shivani A. Raut, R. J. Bhiwani

Abstract


The project describes a grass cutter, which is operated on solar power & is controlled through microcontroller. This project is mainly reduces the manpower and usage of electricity. Extreme power point tracking method is used to advance the effectiveness of the solar panel. The DC to DC buck boost converter benefits to increase the DC voltage from the photovoltaic panel and store the DC voltage in a battery. It is an automated system for the purpose of grass cutting. The source is derived from the solar energy by using photovoltaic panels. The DC-DC converter is used to transform the low level DC voltage into the high level DC voltage. High level DC voltage is essential to function the whole system. Automation is achieved by using sensors and microcontrollers. Wheels and cutting operations are operated using dc motors. DC battery is used for powering and reserve mode operation of the system. The prototype developed is operated in two modes namely, auto mode and remote mode. In manual mode the control of cutter is achieved through a remote controller connected via Bluetooth.
