Completion of Consultancy Project for SP Services

Our EC team provided consultancy services to design and enhance the micro-controller system for the “Tariff Calculator Exhibit” at Electricity Efficiency Centre of the Singapore Power. This exhibit is to demonstrate the costs for various types of household.

The original exhibit could only display the costs of electrical consumption for a fixed tariff rate. It could not be re-programmed for a new tariff charge. Our team redesigned the micro-controller system and the interfaces to allow the administrator to change the tariff. The project was led by Ng Chun Kee.
