Solar Based Electric Fence for Smart Farming
Abstract
Animals create problems for farmers in their fields. By using electric fences farmers can protect their fields, farmhouses, farmlands from animals. These control the animals by giving them a short, sharp but safe shock that teaches them to stay away from the fence. Thus electric fences are economical and practical solutions to maximize field production through controlled grazing. Electric fencing is safe, as its output is discrete. There is certain time duration between two pulses that prevents prolonged shocking to animals or people. In addition, the short ‘on’-time prevents heat build-up. This project works on stable multivibrator principle. A free running oscillator is designed to generate square wave and the output is given to push-pull amplifier. This square wave is stepped up to high voltage level and can be connected to the fence Keywords: Solar photovoltaic, Energy, Battery, Voltage, Current, Sunshine hoursReferences (11)
