Programmable Load Shedding Time Management For Utility Department Project
Electricity is one of
the most important requirement of modern civilization and the demand of power is increasing
continuously, with already installed power generation system, we cannot replace
the new generating system every time. Therefore Load Shedding is the most preferred
solution to meet this problem. Since Load Shedding is monitored manually by
allotment of some in charge person to turn On/Off the switch, so it is not very
efficient as well as non-reliable.
To overcome the difficulties of switching the load ON/OFF
manually here we are introducing load shedding time management for utility
department system. This proposed has an inbuilt real time clock (RTC) to keep
tracking the time and thus to switch ON/OFF the load accordingly.
Block diagram:
The 8051
microcontroller programmed in such a way that we can set the actual time and
load shedding time. Using the program we can monitor both real time and load
shedding time. The RTC shows the real time at every instant and interfaced
to a microcontroller of 8051 family once the RTC
is programmed, it will work continuously even though the power goes off in
between.
While the set time
equals to the real time, then microcontroller gives command to the
corresponding relay to turn ON the load and then another command to switch OFF
as per the program. Multiple ON/OFF time entry is the biggest advantage with
this project. A matrix keypad helps entering the time. A 7-sement display or
LCD is interfaced to the microcontroller to display time
