How to Replenish Power Supply from Natural Resources to Mains(AC) to Maintain Power in an Electrical System

Replenishing Power supply from natural resources to mains(AC) to maintain Power in an Electrical system

ABSTRACT:

The primary objective of this project is to inject uninterrupted power supply to the mains of a power system by restoring power from any alternative resources such as an inverter, solar, wind or any such means. Primarily The 8051 microchip is being utilized in this project. The power coming out is fed to the relay IC section. If the mains stop working then the next alternative resource is utilized which could be a wind turbine, solar panel and so on. The present working state is displayed on the LCD screen.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS INVOLVED:

1.TRANSFORMER:

It is used to convert 230V AC to DC current according to instrument specifications.

2.RECTIFIER:

A device that allows AC current to be converted into the Direct current which flows in one direction only.

3.OPTO-ISOLATOR:

It is a device that sends signals that are generated electrically between two separate devices.

4.THYRISTOR:

It is a semiconducting device which has the properties of a bistable switch. The conducting stage of this device starts as soon as the gate pin is triggered that is only in the reverse bias mode.

5.ZERO CROSSING DETECTOR:

It is a comparator with reference level set a zero. It is a device used to find the initial zero-point crossing of AC current input.

6.LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY:

It is an electronic device used for displaying characters or binary digits. This device uses the application of light-modulating properties.

7.8051 MICROCONTROLLER:

It is a chip that employs Harvard architecture primarily used in embedded systems for interfacing various devices.
