INTRODUCTION
In this report he projects management of the particular project” power saver for industries
and commercial establishment is taken and various factors which are required to accomplish this
project. The report also includes the different three constraints that is cost, schedule/ time, scope
which are essential part of the project management and which help the project mangers to
achieve their task and goals effectively and efficiently. the explanation of the reasons for the
failure of the second project will also be discussed in the given report. The present developed
project will focuses on minimizing the energy consumption which is thus leads the industries and
commercial establishment to reduce the power loss by making the use of number of shunt
capacitors and which substantially reduce the electricity bills of the industries and commercial
establishments. Leadership is the setting of new direction or vision for a group which they follow
or it can be defined as the ability of the individual to direct the group to influence and guide the
followers or other members of the organisation.
Project leadership is basically Project organisation. It represented by the individual
project manager in small projects . Mangers are the person who ultimately responsible for all the
activities and functions which are first planned and leads towards the controlling of all the
activities so that activities can be directed in direction of the achievement of the goal.
Furthermore, the report will depict about the leadership and management and how these
approaches are used in the project management which will help to understand the basic
difference between these and their application in the project management. The present study
based on the electrical engineering project which is essential for the industries to reduce their
power consumption by effective mode and how this project helping them will also be explained
in this project report.
PART A
Identification of great project and also project management failure
The electric engineering project which is chosen in the report is “power saver for
industries and commercial establishments” this project is basically designed to reduce the power
consumption and power loss in the in industries and other commercial establishments by the
people by power factor compensation through using number of shunt capacitors(Badewi, 2016).
As it will result in reduction in amount of the electric bill for industries and commercial
establishment. In this system the time lag between the zero voltage pulse and zero current pulse
1

are duly generated by the suitable operational amplifier circuits in comparator mode are fed two
interrupt pins of the microcontroller.
Industries and big organisation functions and operates on inductive loads such as the
transformers, induction motors, heavy plant and machinery, ballast type lighting which as low
power factor and it draws more reactive power from the supply, this reactive power is measured
s used power and it inefficient and not used by the industry, this power is considered to be
useless drawn from the supply and measured causing industries and commercial establishments
to spend more on the electricity bills(Bush, Belland Middlewood, 2019).
The use of the commercial power saver hep the industries to reduce the consumption of
electric power by enhancing different power factors of inductive loads which do no make the use
of this power saver by use of coupling capacitors, phase advancers and synchronous condensers
leads to end up to industries spending to huge amount on the power by increasing the
manufacturing cost of the products and also the management cost of the different establishment.
The major problem which can be solved by this project are the issue of low power factor
which directly affects the bills of the industries and it also provide the capacitors bank which
allow the inclusion of loads by auto switching through different relays and relay rivers
accordingly to the rating of the load added (Fewings and Henjewele, 2019). This project also
helps in solving different problems which includes:
 Increasing the harmony distortion which is caused by the saturation of inductive loads as
like transformers.
 Decreased efficiency in the outputs of industries and other commercial establishment
which did not make the use of these enhancers and compensator.
The aim and focus of the project is to design and construct a micro controller based
power saving system by power factors connection wit LCD display so to regularly monitor the
function and controlling of the power can be possible(Fleming, and Koppelman, 2016). This
project provides the feasible solution for the improvement of the power quality and saving the
power in inductive loading system. The initial motivation for the work is directly base d on the
ability of the system to reduce the electric bills of the industries and also to save the power and
energy which is drawn from the electricity utilities for the inductive loads of the in industries and
commercial establishments.
