Recently, many industrial companies, farms, universities, remote projects and others needed to use Power Generators (Fossil Fuel Engines), It is difficult in some cases to know the status of the Generator (whether it ON or OFF?), the average of fuel discharging currently and it’s motor efficiency statues needed to be estimated. In addition, to measuring the fuel spend in the main tank of that institution. There are many methods for measuring fuel discharging, but in this case, the most basic way that has a very good impact and big challenges comparing with manual observations. A Flow Meter Sensor (YF-S201) correlated by Arduino microcontroller “1” which used as a master. For checking the strategical fuel tank, a waterproof ultrasonic sensor (JSN-SR04T) has been used. The collected data transmitted by transmitting chip (RS-485) to second Arduino microcontroller “2” which used as a slave that plugged by serial port into the computer, as well as for transmit the information into the database. The data was remotely viewed by web as a report through Public IP. This research has shown that the method of digital monitoring for fuel discharges was more accurate, safer than manual monitoring and explain how the remote observations give a good impact for the workers.
As usual, researches and knowledge are constantly evolving; these built prompts to more studies and researches in order to achieve the closest state of optimization. According to our previous (Reference 5). This proposal improves the algorithms by calibrate the flowmeter sensors (YF-S201) separately in order to reduce the manufacture error rate. In addition, a laser sensor (TF mini Lidar) were used instead of an ultrasonic sensor to measure the fuel volume of the main tank. In addition, four voltage sensors (AC type) and three clamp meters (model SCT- 013) were added to the system to indicate the electric in real-time. All these sensors are connected and controlled by two MEGA Arduino Microcontrollers and the information has been stored into the database that could be downloaded and displayed locally or remotely via internet as a Graphical User Interface (GUI) using Public IP. This proposal found that the error rate of calculating the fuel consumed in the generator is (3.8%), this is more accurate by (90%) than previous one. The fuel in the main tank noticed that the accuracy is increased by (3.1%), as well; it produced more security for fuel from leakage or pilfering. The abnormal behaver of generator can be reached immediately by monitoring the voltage and ampere on real-time mode.
