Abstract

A Lightning Detection Application (LDA) is a system that consists of electronic components that are extremely sensitive to ambient temperature. Electronic components will not function properly if the temperature is too high. Furthermore, the Lightning Detection System receives high voltage most of the time, so that is why it is easily heated. The conventional cooling system is costly and can cause air pollution that is why it’s not impractical to be used in a lightning detection application. Therefore, to overcome this problem a thermo-electric cooling Peltier is introduced because it has a better alternative material. The goal of this project is to develop a microcontroller-based prototype of an automatic cooling system for lightning detection using thermo-electric Peltier modules and to develop a control and monitoring system for temperature and humidity using ThingSpeak IoT that can be controlled and monitored via a smart phone. Other than that, the objective is to analyze the temperature and humidity of the system prototype with a surrounding environment. As expected, the thermo-electric Peltier was used as a refrigerant cooler for the lightning detector cooler box and the temperature inside the cooler box in the module was monitored using a smart phone application.
