Fuzzy controlled intelligent water cooler for energy conservation and customer satisfaction

Electrical energy is universally accepted as an essential commodity for human life. Electrical energy is the prime mover of economic growth and vital to the sustenance of a modern economy. Future economic growth crucially depends on the long term availability of electrical energy from natural resources. The attention focused on luxurious means of comfort and the trend going to electrical goods for maximum application are giving rise to heavy growth in demand for electrical energy. To reduce gap between the demand and supply, all types of available natural resources are being used. Even then the gap is continuously increasing due to ever increase in utilization of electrical energy. Hence, the only option left with us is to use available electrical energy efficiently and effectively by adopting energy conservation methods. In this paper a fuzzy controlled intelligent system is proposed to conserve the electrical energy in case of water cooler, aiming to minimize the energy consumption after the temperature of water reaches a certain predefined satisfaction level, thus maintains the perfect cooling of water and to avoid excess cooling. This paper shows the application of fuzzy logic techniques on water cooler to maintain temperature of water as per consumer requirements based on seasons.
