Abstract:
Electricity generation and distribution began many centuries ago. The problem of power blackout is still a challenge to many developing countries in the world. Though many measures.ar methods have been carried out to curb this effect, like the use of automated generators and power monitoring systems, power blackout has still remained a threat.
This power blackout is mainly caused due to Spikes (voltage variations), Transformer failure weather and then handling errors.
The purpose (main objective) of this project is to design and develop a web-based power monitoring and reconnection system for a Smart energy grid. This system establishes the availability and uninterrupted power Supply to the consumers.
Reviewing of literature, observation and consultations are some of the methods that were -used to gather data in order to formulate the requirements of the system including functional and non-functional requirements.
The system design uses the custom developed voltage sensors to read the voltages, wherein the microcontroller analyses the data and the grid voltages can be lagged in MySQL databases using a PHP script with CSS lines, the web browser displays the MySQL data at auto The web data is accessible through an HTTP request using an IP address as the URL for the system control.
The system was designed successfully though with some challenges. Testing of the full system performance was hard since the appropriate components for inter-switching were hard to get. More research. is required to make it more effective and to use more parameters like current which can enable one detect the LOAD on the grids.
