Abstract

As known widely, most of the Lightning Detection System (LDS) is typically used satellite (networking based) or the combination of electric field and magnetic field measurement that based on the polarity and amplitude. By the polarity and amplitude an equation will be translate in a form of certain algorithm. Based from the previous research and recently, the lightning measuring system that used the old concept which based on electromagnetic field measurement with high resolution recording system was found to be the best method for identification and monitoring. Although this concept is more accurate then Lightning Detection System (LDS) networking based however there are many disadvantages. The disadvantages are regarding on maintenance work such as monitoring, repairing, charging the battery and so on was not automatically operate by the system. Moreover if one intent to automate the operation for LDS based on electromagnetic field measurement with high resolution, this LDS need to be modified in such a way that it can be operate smoothly under the extreme hot weather especially tropic country in Malaysia. This objective of this project is to introduce a new temperature control for LDS as mentioned above by providing conducive temperature in the range of 25ᵒC to 28ᵒC in the box. The scope of this project mainly focused on cooling technique by using peltier for cooling the storage box of LDS which consist of buffer, electronic sensors and all automation tools. The temperature of the storage box is controlled in the range of 25ᵒC to 28ᵒC. Peltier basically use in warming, cooling, and the temperature differential can generate electricity. Peltier is a sample of semiconductor material be connected to two electrodes between a voltages to applying to produce difference temperature. This device is important to keep up the system of temperature contrast regarding required heat evacuation with a specific end goal to keep up the execution of the system. The analysis of this project investigated the suitability of peltier for cooling certain desire volume of storage of the LDS. In order to produce the desire temperature, total number of peltier will be determined. The number of peltier will determined the desired temperature in the range of 25ᵒC to 28ᵒC. For future plan, this project will be upgrade in terms of the total number of peltier that being used to produce the consistent temperature.
