Auto Power Supply Control

This document describes a system to provide uninterrupted power from four sources - solar, mains, generator, and inverter. A microcontroller senses the available power sources and automatically switches the load to alternate sources within microseconds if one source fails. Piezoelectric plates and an inverter are used to generate power from foot traffic. The system aims to provide reliable backup power for applications such as data centers, hospitals, and industries that require continuous electricity.

AUTO POWER SUPPLY CONTROL FROM 4 DIFFERENT

SOURCES: SOLAR, MAINS, GENERATOR & INVERTER


TO ENSURE NO BREAK POWER

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, main 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. This arrangement can be
designed by using ATmega328 microcontroller and relays. When a source, say mains fails
the supply automatically shifts to next priority source generator and so on. LEDs (Light
emitting diodes) can be used to show that which source is used to provide the supply.

Objectives:

The main objective of this project is to provide uninterrupted power supply to a


load, by selecting the supply from any source out of 3 such as mains, generator, and and
solar automatically in the absence of any of the source. The demand for electricity is
increasing every day and frequent power cuts is causing many problems in various areas
like industries, hospitals and houses. An alternative arrangement for power source is a
must.

ITRODUCTION
An important requirement of electric power distribution systems is the need for
automatic operation. In particular, the rapid and reliable transfer of the system from one
power source to another during certain system events is important to achieving the
reliability goals for such systems and the facility serves. In the existing system, they made
four switches to demonstrate the corresponding failure of that power supply. By pressing
any one of the switch, absence of that particular source can be found out. The switches are
connected as input signals to microcontroller. In this system ATmega328 microcontroller is
used. The relay driver IC collects output of microcontroller, which adjusts relay to maintain
continuous supply to the load.

Problem statement:
 If we see it at commercial level, then we can estimate that there are so many
consumers or customers which have the equipment or machines whose requirements is
only uninterruptable power supply. Such as the data base companies whose all work is
done on computer then it is required an uninterruptable power supply all the time,
otherwise their computer could be off during the time when the load is shifted on another
source, similarly the companies which have the data base production machines then it also
could be also off during the load shifted then their production can be stop or damage.

Proposed system:
Concentrating on these above problems we can examine the importance of this auto
power supply control system in this modern world. Different peoples and companies are
working on this auto power supply control system which are making this system with the
help of magnetic contactors and power relays but their system is so much costly and do not
provide precise uninterruptible power supply. Here we are making this auto power supply
control system with the help of power electronics components, pic microcontroller
and electronic relays.

Piezoelectric materials act as a transducers and pressure exerted by the moving people
transformed into electric current. main objective of present day technology is to invent and
provide a pollution free method of electricity from the growing human population that does
not negatively impact the environment. In this technology, piezoelectric effect is used to
generate the electricity. When pressure and strain are applied to a material which shows
piezoelectric effect have the capability to build up an electrical charge. Piezoelectric
sensors generate electricity when we apply pressure on the sensors as shown in figure
Above.

Working:
This auto power supply control system works on the principle of auto function for switch
over the load to other available source without wasting any time or switch off the load. In
this system, the microcontroller which is very essential component of this system always,
keep sensing the whole available sources. When any source is switched off then the
microcontroller senses the voltage in which source available shifted the load to the other
supply source by giving the signal to the relay driver IC then the relay driver IC switched
on the appropriate load relay. The whole function is done by the microcontroller is micro
seconds and this shifted time can be changed during the programming of microcontroller.
Here 3 load relays are used which are connected in parallel with load and 3 sources of
supplies are also connected in parallel with these load relays. These load relays consist of
normally open and close contacts and are operated through the relay driver IC. We have
checked this system by connecting the lamp at output side as a load when any interruption
is take place during the shifted time then the lamp is blinking but here there is no any
blinking take place during the shifted time means there is no any interruption in supplying
the power at output side.
