Comparative Analysisoftechniquesforfaultdetectionof Grid Synchronization

This document discusses techniques for fault detection of grid synchronization. It focuses on detecting abnormalities in frequency and voltage from external power sources connected to the electric grid. The system monitors voltage and frequency levels using a microcontroller and comparators. It can automatically disconnect a load by signaling a relay if any deviations from the specified voltage or frequency ranges are detected. This helps prevent large-scale power outages on the grid.

Comparative Analysis of techniques for fault detection of


Grid Synchronization

ABSTRACT:

The system is designed to detect the synchronization failure of any external supply

source to the power grid on sensing the abnormalities in frequency and voltage. There are several

power generation units connected to the grid such as tidal, thermal, solar etc. to supply power to the

load, but our prime focus is synchronizing the non-conventional sources for remote area supply.

These generating units need to supply power according to the rules of the grid.

These rules involve maintaining a voltage variation within limits and also the variation in between

frequency range. If any deviation from the specified value will occur then it automatically

disconnect the grid line.

This prevents in large scale brown out or black out of the grid power. So it is

preferable to have a system which can warn the grid in advance and can automatically disconnect it

to avoid complete grid failure. This system is based on a microcontroller of 8051 family. The

microcontroller AT89S52 monitors the under/ over voltage being derived from a set of comparators.

As the frequency of the mains supply cannot be changed, so by using variable frequency generator

(555-timer) frequency can changed.

A lamp load has been used, which is connected to the supply and a relay. If

microcontroller detects any deviation from the specified voltage and frequency range then it sends

a signal to the relay and the load automatically gets disconnected from the supply
