Abstract

Cocoa processing companies are pivotal to Ghana's economy and the sustainability of its cocoa industry. Cocoa processing companies transform raw cocoa beans into a paste-like form known as cocoa liquor, which serves as the foundation for various cocoa-based products. These operations require using pumps to supply water for different stages of production. Most of these companies are particularly concerned about potential pump failures and the associated costs of replacements. To mitigate this risk, they have developed a technique to protect the pumps from burnout. Currently, the existing pump protection system is manually operated and suffers from inaccuracies in switching times. Additionally, fluctuations in weather conditions pose further threats to the pumps' integrity. This research focuses on automating the pump protection system to address these issues effectively. In this project, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) was utilized to design an automated protection system. The control program was simulated using RSLogix Micro Starter Lite to verify its functionality. Simulation results demonstrated that the system provides effective automatic protection for the pumps, thereby enhancing their operational efficiency and equipment longevity.

Abstract

With the increasing number of cars in suburban areas like Tarkwa-Nsuaem, expensive approaches to expanding road infrastructure are financially impractical for a lower-middle-income country like Ghana. Traffic accidents, causing 1.25 million deaths, up to 50 million injuries annually, and a global ratio of 18 deaths per 100,000 people, demand cost-effective prevention solutions for these suburban communities. This study proposes an ultrasonic sensor-based traffic control system using an HC-SRO4 ultrasonic sensor and an Arduino Nano with an ATMEGA 328P microcontroller. Simulated using Proteus 8 Professional and Arduino 1.6.7 software, the system optimizes traffic flow by eliminating the standard 60-second red light wait time. Vehicles on byways move freely unless a vehicle is sensed on the connecting highway, in which case the wait time is reduced to under 30 seconds. This low-cost, adaptive approach enhances road safety and efficiency, making it a viable alternative for traffic management in resource-constrained suburban communities.

Abstract

Considering the sporadic nature of energy supply in Ghana, most communities have the main grid, solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems, and generators as their sources of power. The availability of these three individual electricity sources often necessitates the use of a manual power changeover. Manual changeovers often result in power mismatch and energy inefficiencies, resulting in the need for an automated power dispatch control system. This study explores the use of an Arduino Uno controller to fix this power mismatch and eliminate this inefficiency. This Arduino controller was used for the design of the dispatch control system, and the controlling algorithm was designed using Proteus software. The result of the simulation shows the ability of the system to alternate between prioritised and less prioritised electricity sources, depending on the availability of power, without interruption. The simulation results show the efficiency of the design to effectively dispatch power within 450ms without the need for human interference.

Abstract

Exploring the potential of optical wireless communication for short-range audio transmission, this research investigates the design of a portable system leveraging the inherent benefits of light-based propagation, such as low power consumption, license-free operation, and enhanced security. While line-of-sight alignment is a key consideration in laser communication, this research outlines a practical approach to system development. A 650 nm laser diode serves as the carrier for the audio signal. The system architecture, comprising a transmitter and receiver, was initially designed and simulated using Proteus software. Each unit was individually implemented and tested to ensure optimal performance. Subsequent integration of these modules and careful line-of-sight alignment enabled successful audio signal transmission and reception. The audible output at the receiver is visually confirmed by a blinking speaker, demonstrating the feasibility of this optical wireless audio communication system. This work offers valuable insights into the design and implementation considerations for such portable applications.
