ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this project is to provide continuous power supply to a load, by selecting
the supply from any of the four sources namely solar, inverter, mains and generator
automatically in case if one the source is absent. The need of electricity is increasing day by
day and the frequent power cuts of electricity are causing many problems in different areas
like banks, colleges/schools, hospitals, houses and industries. Thus there is requirement for an
alternate arrangement of power supply. When a source, say mains fails, the supply
automatically shifts to next priority source. On failure of the mains supply the
load gets supply from the next available source, say an inverter. If the inverter also fails it
switches over to the next available
source and so on. As it is not feasible to provide all 3 different sources of supply, one source
with alternate switches are provided
to get the same function. The project can be further enhanced by using other sources like
wind power also and then taking into
consideration for using the best possible power whose tariff remains lowest at that moment.
This project consists Microcontroller unit, Relays, GSM Module/Wi-Fi Module and Detector
circuit and Mobile application for mapping or controlling manually. A microcontroller unit
may be the Arduino development board or any type of microcontroller (Ex-8051). The output
of the microcontroller /Arduino is given to the relays, which switches appropriate relay to
maintain an uninterrupted supply to the load. The output can be observed by Bulb/Lamp. On
failure of the mains supply (which is actuated by a detector circuit which mainly an Inverter
circuit) the load gets supply from the next available source, battery backup. If the battery
backup also fails it switches over to the next available source and so on. The current status, as
to which source supplies the load is also displayed on an LCD or in a mobile application. All
the operation controlled by the Microcontroller unit or Arduino module.
In the mobile application, all the details about power sources will be shown in the application
like availability of power sources and their capacities and also we can introduce a button app
for manual or automatic control. In this project, GSM Module will be used for network
connectivity through the cloud. For internet connectivity, we can use Wi-Fi module, but as
we know that Wi-Fi hotspot is not available at all places then GSM module is more
preferable for this system. There is many types of free clouds services are available for
students. Example Thing speak, Temboo, Things.io and we can also use won server for a
mobile app. Some clouds are also providing mobile app also as per requirements. The system
can be designed in two modes: 1) Automatic: System operates automatically as the given
commands. 2) Manual: User can control the system by a mobile application or by switches
also. In this project, cloud is used for control or access the data or information about the
system at any place, which means the authorized person, can control all the process through
mobile application also.
The Future Scope of the project is the addition of the supply for extra availability of the
project and the convenience of the working operation would become easier if there is an extra
source to the project. The higher specification of the components used would be a better idea
for the durability of the project and project lies for the longer period. The main scope of this
paper is to provide a continuous power supply to the output load through any of the source in
the absence of any of the source. The paper can be further enhanced by using GSM, other
sources like wind power and also then taking into consideration for using the best possible
power whose cost remains lowest at that moment. The significance of this paper lies in its
various advantages and wide places of applications where this project can be used efficiently.
