Abstract:
As the world is progressing in terms of technology day by day, it is initiating towards
energy efficient technologies. Without any doubt, electrical energy is very essential
in today’s modern world for everyday life and a spine for the industry. With the
increase in the need of electricity power theft is also increasing which is
unfavourably affecting the industries and the power sector. Detecting and eliminating
this crime is the crying need at this time. In order to handle our energy and avoid the
penalty caused by energy wastage and power theft we need to build up powerful
tools to get rid of problems like real time power monitoring and power theft.
Regarding this view this project is formulated and designed. In this paper, we
discuss a system, “Energy And Fuel Monitoring And Control System” developed to
assist in well organized, structured and cost efficient management of power of the
main grid and generators. The objective of proposed system is to give an innovation
arranged, minimal effort, effectively versatile solution of the problems that are faced
in industries. This project is a potent tool to prevent power theft. Along with this, this
project is a solution for power management problems faced in an industry.
The system monitors real time data and emphasizes upon the detection of power
failure and takes spontaneous action to counter this problem. Power failure is
detected by a relay that communicates with Arduino mega 2560 via wifi module
esp8266 to switch loads from main supply to generator automatically. Parameters
like voltage, current, real and apparent power of main supply and generator
monitored in real time using a website.
