Project Summary

Electricity is an essential commodity in our day to day life, electricity forms the basics of any developing country or a developed country. Electricity is required in Domestic, industrial and commercial purposes. Thus, electricity is very important. Failure in electricity supply or interruption in the supply has many adverse effect on Electrical equipment and Control systems. The purpose of this project is to design and build a system that is called Smart Automatic Main Failure System with Tri Source which can automatically allow switching from Solar system to Mains Power Supply or in case of failure of both sources it will switch to the third Source. Depending upon the Control unit. there are three main types of AMF units 1) by using Microcontroller in AFM unit. 2) by using PLC (Programmable Logic Control) programming for control action. 3) with the help of Relay Mechanism. In this Project we are going to implement Microcontroller (Arduino) and for making it smart all data will be sent through a Wi-Fi module to PC or Mobile. The first Priority source will be solar so that we can save extra billing by generating our own electricity if any failure occurs in solar this system will switch to mains power supply if both than switch to Hydro Power this whole system will going to be three phase and voltages Currents and powers of all 3 sources can be seen on LCD and also real time monitoring will be possible through IoT and user can also shut down all the system through App.

Project Objectives

The objectives of this project is to:

• Design a system that allows switching from Mains to backup power when anomaly is detected.

• Design an automatic system using Microcontroller and IoT.

• Use Solar Power and Diesel Generator as Backup power.

Project Implementation Method

In this project, we are going to implement microcontroller (arduino) and for making it smart all data will be sent through a Wi-Fi module. We use three sources utility,solar and diesel generator. Our first pirority is utility like K-electric or WAPDA but in case if it is fail or may be voltage changes to high or low which may damage our electrical appliances this system will switch to solar system through  automatic transfer switch (ATS) which transfer load power to backup power during main failure and back to its original state when main power comes in normal condition. Solar system can save extra billing by generating our own electricity. If in case failure will occur in solar system, the system will switch to diesel generator which is commonly used in industries. We also implement phase reversal which detects the phase sequence. Currents and voltages of all three sources can be seen on LCD and also real monitoring will be possible through IoT.

Benefits of the Project

This project will be beneficial for every industry because of automatic main failure system

•  It will save time because no need to start the backup source by anyone.
•  It will save man power because it can start the backup automatically.
• It can be real time monitored (which source or phase failure occur and also time duration of failure) by the authorities due to its smart feature.
•  Cost Effective because it will save electricity because its priority source will be solar power.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

1. Uninterruptible power supply will be achieved.
2. Protection from damages that produced in result of incorrect phase sequence.
3. Protection over and under voltages will be possible.
4. Protection from over temperature also achieved.
