Automatic line power control

Abstract

The electric power generation in our country relay mainly on hydro electric generators. The main suppliers of electrical power are government and public sector authorities but the power generation is not up to the mark to meet all power demands and so we are facing power cuts and load shedding to meet the future demand. To avoid complete breakdown of power we are introducing a new system by which power to individual consumers can be limited. The main components used are an intelligent embedded system with the most modern AVR controller, radio frequency based system and a set of Hall Effect sensors. The core logic behind the project is to monitor the current consumption at peak hours and to activate a breaker when the consumption increases beyond the limit value for that particular consumer. So in this way we can limit the power consumption at peak hours and we will be able to distribute the available power according to the allowed demand.
