From 4 Different Sources:Auto Power Supply Control Solar, Mains, Generator & Inverter To Ensure No Break Power
ABSTRACT
In this project uses four switches to demonstrate the respective failure of that power
supply. When any of the switches is pressed it shows the absence of that particular source,
switches are connected to microcontroller as input signals. A microcontroller of 8051
family is used. The output of microcontroller is given to the relay driver IC, which switches
appropriate relay to maintain uninterrupted supply to the load. The output shall be observed
using a lamp drawing power supply from mains initially. On failure of the mains supply
(which is actuated by pressing the appropriate switch) 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. The current status, as to which source supplies the load is also
displayed on an LCD. As it is not feasible to provide all 4 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.
