The document describes the development of a self-powered generator project. It includes canvases for AEIOU, empathy mapping, ideation, and product development. The AEIOU canvas outlines activities, environment, interactions, objects, and users observed at a power plant. The empathy canvas describes affected users, stakeholders, activities, and stories. The ideation canvas lists people, activities, situations where power cuts occur, and possible solutions. The product development canvas defines the product's purpose, users, experience, functions, features, components, and revalidation based on customer feedback. It was redesigned without an auto-charging function requiring manual battery charging.

3. Introduction
 Our Project aims to provide better, easy and user friendly
environment in the field generating electricity. The idea of
Self power generator will replace the conventional
generator in near future, thus saving lot of non-renewable
energy like gas, petrol, kerosene giving an eco-friendly
alternative. This also functions as an Emergency Power
Supply, so that need of electricity for every minute is fulfill.

4. 1. AEIOU CANVAS
In AEIOU Canvas
there are four
sections,
1. User
2. Stakeholders
3. Activities
4. Story Boarding
5

5. Activities:
Activities as the name
suggests you have to
describe all the
activities you observed
like if you are on Power
Plant You have be seen
like
Maintenance
Controlling machine
Operation
Working
6

6. Environment:
For Environment how's
the environment
during your
observation and in
element box you have
to describe elements
you observed . you
have to sketch floor
plan and describe scene
like a young man
operating machine.
Warm Atmosphere
Cloudy Atmosphere
Noisy Atmosphere
7

7. Interactions:
For Interaction as title
tells you have to
describe your
interactions along
people you observed.
Lab assistance to
student
Engineer to
employee’s
Manager to
supervisor
Engineer to
maintenances cure
Engineer to workers
Supervisor to workers
8

8. Objects:
You have to describe
observed object and
user to correspondingly
object frame and user
framework.
Voltage Regulator
LED Display
Controller
Speed Controller
9

9. Users:
You have to describe
the different users
relates to product
Engineer
Worker
Supervisor
Manager
10

10. Basically there are four
sections in empathy
Canvas,
1. User
2. Stakeholders
3. Activities
4. Story Boarding
To fill empathy canvas,
we have studied
problems related power
cut off. Then we have
seen that most of the
power cut off is due to
the human’s and
naturally like heavy
rainfall, earthquake,
etc.
2. EMPATHY CANVAS
11

11. USER:
The idea of the product
that we have come up with
is meant for the following
persons:
A student working on
machine
An employee working in
hurry to start the power
supply
A professor explaining
the working of motor
A doctor operating the
emergency operations
12

12. STAKEHOLDERS:
Due to such power
failure, people or
organization that
would be indirectly
affected are Electrician,
Engineer, Maintenance
Man, Manager,
supervisor, Lab
Assistance, etc.
13

13. ACTIVITES:
The activities carried
out by our projected
users are:
Doctor doing
emergency operation
A student is studying
for the exam
Electrician is testing
the power supply, etc.
14

14. HAPPY STORY:
SAD STORY:

15. Ideation Canvas contain for
section
1. People
2. Activities
3. Situation/Context/Location
4. Possible Solution
If we talk about Ideation
Canvas then it is something
near to our main problem
which we want to find finally.
In people part only those
people mention which is only
related to our problem only.
In Activities means during
which you are facing problem.
In location/Situation means
in which situation and
location problem become in
picture that things must be
maintained. At last we have to
find problem that can be
possible solution and way that
things can be mentioned.
3. IDEATION CANVAS
16

16. PEOPLE:
So, as per the
Explanation about the
Ideation canvas in
people we have
mentions different
peoples like
Power cut-off when
student performing
practical
Transformer failure
when doctor doing
operation
Employers
Shopkeepers
Engineer
Lab Assistance
17

17. ACTIVITIES:
In activities like
studying, operating
machine, testing
electrical machine
means these activities
becomes in picture
when we are talking
about our mentioned
problem.
Doctor doing
emergency operation
A student is studying
for the exam
Electrician is testing
the power supply
Maintaining machine
by maintenances cure
18

18. SITUATION/CONTEX
T/LOCATION:
In Situation& Location we
have written heavy
rainfall, earthquake,
distributions center,
industry, etc.
A student performing
improper experiments
with electrical equipment
in college
Power cut-off during in
heavy rainfall
Power cut-off in hospital
during emergency
operation
Overhead transmission
line breakage during
earthquake
Grid failure in
distribution center
19

19. PROPS/TOOLS/OBJECT
S/EQUIPMENT:
And in Possible Solution we
have written all possible
solution for power cut off
during different situations.
Auto starting system
Overload protection
system
Voltage Regulator system
Microprocessor unit
Microcontroller unit
LED display unit
MCB
High grade generator
20

20. Product Development
Canvas contain
1. Purpose
2. People
3. Product Experience
4. Product Function
5. Product Features
6. Components
7. Customer Revalidation
8. Reject, Redesign &
Retain
Now, when we are
discussing about the
product development
canvas we have to define
the main problem after
completion of user canvas
and Ideation Canvas.
4. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CANVAS
21

21. PURPOSE:
The purpose of our
project is to design a
handy product that
should perform the
following functions:
When the user face
problem related power
cut off, he should get
emergency power supply
To decreased
maintenances cost
compared to normal
emergency power supply
available in market
22

22. PEOPLE:
The people to whom our
product may be useful
are
Students
Doctor’s
Lab Assistance
Engineer
Shopkeeper
23

23. PRODUCT
EXPERIENCE:
The user will feel
relaxed as he wills get 24
for hour power supply.
And if there would
power cut off he can
used his own generator
for continuous supply.
As the product is
handy, he is not over
burdened while using it.
This product also
reduces maintenances
cost
24

24. PRODUCT
FUNCTIONS:
To provide high
efficiency
To help to reduce
global warming
To increased working
capacity of the machine
25

25. PRODUCT FEATURES:
The LED displaced
enabled. It helps the user to
show important details that
should be known by user.
The Auto-starting unit, it
helps the machine to start
automatically without user
interferences.
Short-circuit protection
which protects the machine
to damage if there is any
short circuit occurs.
This product provides
stabilized output, which is
good for the electrical and
electronics machines and
devices.
26

26. COMPONENTS:
In this we have to
mentions all the
components used in our
product
Voltage Regulator
Microprocessor unit
 Microcontroller unit
LED Display
Batteries
MCB
High grade generator
Motor
27

27. CUSTOMER
REVALIDATION:
The auto charging
function required, to
charge automatically the
discharged batteries of
the product.
REJECT, REDESIGN,
AND RETAIN:
The product is
redesigned without the
auto charging function.
So the user has to
manually keep the
batteries on charging.
