Project Summary

Energy generation companies supply electricity to all the households via intermediate controlled power transmission hubs known as Electricity Grid. Sometimes problems arise due to failure of the electricity grid leading to black out of an entire area which was getting supply from that particular grid. This project aims to solve this problem using IoT as the means of communication and also tackling various other issues which a smart system can deal with to avoid unnecessary losses to the Energy producers. IoT Smart Energy Grid is based on Arduino controller which controls the various activities of the system. The system communicates over internet by using Wi-Fi technology. A bulb is used in this project to demonstrate as a valid consumer and a bulb to demonstrate an invalid consumer. The foremost thing that this project facilitates is re-connection of transmission line to active grid. If an Energy Grid becomes faulty and there is an another Energy Grid, the system switches the Transmission Lines towards this Grid thus facilitating uninterrupted electricity supply to that particular region whose Energy Grid went OFF.

Project Objectives

To construct MG set integrate with Utility System.

To develop an IoT based monitoring system with MG set and utility system.

To evaluate the load switching, monitoring parameter.

To validate the proposed model with the conventional model.

Project Implementation Method

Microgrids have long been used in remote areas to power off-grid villages, military operations or industrial projects. But increasingly they're being used in cities or towns, in urban centers, on university or corporate campuses, in hospitals or at data centers.These energy islands are keeping electricity flowing in emergencies and helping integrate wind and solar. They're keystones to a modern electric grid.

Benefits of the Project

Provide efficient, low-cost, clean energy

Improve the operation and stability of the regional electric grid

Critical infrastructure that increases reliability and resilience

Reduce grid “congestion” and peak loads

Reducing fuel use, line losses, and carbon footprint

Integrate  renewables, thermal and electric storage, and advanced system and building controls.

When properly designed, a regional power grid that combines both large central plants and distributed microgrids can be built with: less total capital cost, less installed generation, higher capacity factor on all assets, and higher reliability.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

ARDUINO  : The Arduino is a small, complete, and breadboard-friendly controller. 

 NODEMCU ( WIFI MODULE FOR IoT): NodeMCU is a low-cost open source IoT platform. It initially included firmware which runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC from Espressif Systems, and hardware which was based on the ESP-12 module.

OPTOCOUPLER: Optocouplers can either be used on their own as a switching device, or used with other electronic devices to provide isolation between low and high voltage circuits.

CURRENT SENSOR:  current sensor is a device that detects and converts current to an easily measurable output voltage,

LCD DISPLAY: It displays all the data from the hardware.

RELAY : A relay is an electrically operated switch. It consists of a set of input terminals for a single or multiple control signals, and a set of operating contact terminals. The switch may have any number of contacts in multiple contact forms, such as make contacts, break contacts, or combinations thereof.

RESISTOR : used to limit the parameters for components at required level

CAPACITOR : used for storing the charges 

SWITCHES : used to control the loads 

CABLES AND CONNECTORS: used for connecting the components to one another

DIODE : it allow an electric current to pass in one direction (called the diode's forward direction), while blocking it in the opposite direction (the reverse direction).

PCB : It is a printed board on which all components are installed

TEMPERATURE  SENSOR : A temperature sensor is a device used to measure temperature. This can be air temperature, liquid temperature or the temperature of solid matter.

LAMP LOADS : these are the loads for which the we demonstrate the objectives and run the project

AC SUPPLY : it is a AC source 

VIBRATION SENSOR: it senses the vibration of the components and send the data to controller which controls the vibration
