Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryThe project is about the Design and Development of Prototype of Micro grid for 3-Phase Loads. In this project an effort has been done to achieve fast switching of load between micro grid and main grid supply, to do prioritization of the loads and to make the microgrid as enviroment friendly as possible so that it has no harmfull effects on our enviroment unlike our conventional grids that are somehow the huge cause of land, air and water pollution. The hardware has a controll unit consisting of Source Connection Points, Magnetic Contractors, Three phase Indicators, three phase meters, Circuit Breakers, Bus Bar and load connection points. There are total six loads out of which three loads are selected as our priority that will never be switched off even if main grid is OFF and the power will be supplied to them by microgrid when main grid is OFF. There are two sources of electrical power production on the microgrid one id the PV source and secong is 3 phase generator, when main grid is OFF the source of supply from microgrid will be PV panels and at the night the source will be three phase generator.
Project Objectives- Design and Development of Prototype of Micro grid with Smart Energy Management for 3-Phase Loads.
- To do fast switching of load between micro grid and main grid supply.
- Prioritization of loads.
Two sources are used in the microgrid to provide power and the power to the loads will be supplied by main grid. magnetic contractors are used to detect the power supplied from main grid and MG sources will perform switching of loads from main grid to micro grid. When the magnetic contractor senses that there is no power supply on main grid line then it will switch the loads to the PV source at microgrid and other magnetic contractor will sense that whether or not the PV panels have power if it senses no power from PV source then it will swtich the loads to three phase generator, the situation usually occur at night because of absence of sunlight . The loads will be prioritized on the basis of our requirement . Three loads out of all six loads are connected to microgrid through magnetic contractors and will never be turned off even if the main grid is OFF or out of work.
Benefits of the Project1.Places that are located at long distance microgrids can supply power. This will result in cheaper electricity then having it from maingrid because power loss increases in the transmission line as the distance increases.
2.Remote areas where transmission line is difficult to reach we can made microgrid near to, or in that area to supply electricity.
3.Sensitive areas where power failure cannot be afforded even for few seconds like hospitals, research labs etc microgrids are best suitabe for them.
4.For large housing colonies, industries and universities microgrid can supply electrical power at cheeper price thatn main grid.
