Abstract

This project describes the design of the poultry egg incubator control and monitoring system which is fully powered by a solar photovoltaic (PV) energy system. Poultry eggs incubator can be found easily with many kinds of features that are offered with the amount of hatching capacity is diverse, but some of those incubators still work manually. The stability of temperature and humidity in poultry egg hatchery will be less effective if the monitoring is done manually. The manual control has not efficient anymore for the poultry farmers because it spends much time. Therefore, it needs a modern poultry egg incubator tool that makes it easier for the farmer to control and monitor it anytime and anywhere. As a solution, a new method of poultry eggs incubator design is suggested which could be used to hatch eggs using solar PV as a power supply and hence could reduce the usage of power and thus maximize the usage of solar power which is a renewable source of energy. Furthermore, by applying the solar PV, the incubator can be placed in the areas that are not connected directly to the national grid system. Apart from that, to further fully utilize the system, this project uses the technology of “Internet of Things” (IOT) that allows the poultry breeders to control and monitor the process in distance by using the internet optimally in doing their job. The integration of Arduino microcontroller technology which is combined with temperature and humidity sensors, light sensors, motor servo, webcam, and relay to produce a control and monitoring system of poultry eggs incubator machine which can be accessed through the website. As the ultimate objective of this project, a complete system of poultry eggs incubator with the integration of PV energy system and IOT technology will benefit the egg breeder as a whole in the technical aspects. This system will able to help the poultry industry that has experienced positive trends in the artificially hatched eggs which will enable poultry farmers to increase production volumes to fulfil the market demand.
