Auto Power Supply Control from 4 Different Sources using PIC Microcontroller
Introduction ďƒ˜ The main objective of this project is to provide uninterrupted power supply to a load, by selecting the supply source automatically from any available one out of 4 such as: mains, generator, inverter and solar in the absence of power supply. The demand for electricity is increasing every day and frequent power cut is causing many problem in various areas like industries, hospitals and houses. An alternative arrangement for power source is thus desirable.

Relay Driver ULN2003 ULN is relay driver application The ULN2003 is A monolithic high voltage and high current darlington transistor arrays. It consists of seven NPN darlington pairs that features high-voltage outputs with common-cathode clamp diode for switching inductive loads. The collector-current rating of a single darlington pair is 500ma. The darlington pairs may be paralleled for higher current capability.

Bridge Rectifier A diode bridge is an arrangement of four (or more) diodes in a bridge circuit configuration. It provides the same polarity of output for either polarity of input. When used in its most common application, for conversion of an alternating current (AC) input into a direct current (DC) output. It is known as a bridge rectifier.

Bridge Rectifier A bridge rectifier provides full-wave rectification from a two-wire AC input. Resulting in lower cost and weight as compared to a rectifier with a 3-wire input from a transformer with a center-tapped secondary winding. According to the conventional model of current flow, current is assumed to flow through electrical conductors from the positive to the negative pole.

Voltage Regulator A voltage regulator is designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. A voltage regulator may be a simple "feed-forward" design or may include negative feedback control loops. It may use an electromechanical mechanism, or electronic components. Depending on the design, it may be used to regulate one or more AC or DC voltages. Electronic voltage regulators are found in devices such as computer power supplies. http://www.edgefxkits.com/

Voltage Regulator Where they stabilize the DC voltages used by the processor and other elements. In automobile alternators and central power station generator plants, voltage regulators control the output of the plant. In an electric power distribution system, voltage regulators may be installed at a substation or along distribution lines. So that all customers receive steady voltage independent of how much power is drawn from the line.

Voltage Regulator 7805 is a voltage regulator integrated circuit. It is a member of 78xx series of fixed linear voltage regulator ICs. The voltage source in a circuit may have fluctuations and would not give the fixed voltage output. The voltage regulator IC maintains the output voltage at a constant value. The xx in 78xx indicates the fixed output voltage it is designed to provide 7805 provides +5V regulated power supply. Capacitors of suitable values can be connected at input and output pins depending upon the respective voltage levels. http://www.edgefxkits.com/

Working Principle This project uses an arrangement of 4 different sources of supply which are channelized to a load so as to have an uninterrupted operation of the load. As it is not practicable to get 4 sources of supply such as mains supply, generator supply, inverter supply. And Solar supply, we used one source and a set of relays. We have taken first source with mains supply and assumed as if being fed from 4 different sources by connecting all the 4 incoming sources in parallel.

Auto Power Supply Control from 4 Different Sources using PIC Microcontroller
Working Principle The ac source to the lamp is connected to four relays by making the entire normally open contacts parallel and all the common contacts in parallel. 4 push button switches are used which represent failure of corresponding supply respectively and are interfaced to the controller. Initially we have given high input signal to the microcontroller, so as a result the controller generates a low output to activate the first relay driver. Which will result in the relay being energized and the lamp glows.

Working Principle While the push button for mains is pressed that represents failure of mains supply as a result the supply is provided from the next source And the microcontroller receive high input and generates low output to activate the second relay driver. Which will result in the second relay being energized and the lamp glows . When we press the generator button, it indicates the generator fails to operate and the supply comes from the next source. The next source will supply high input to the controller and which will provide low signal to the third relay and the lamp switches ON. http://www.edgefxkits.com/

Working Principle When we press the third push button the supply will chose next source now the fourth source will provide input to the microcontroller. Controller activates the fourth relay and the load will get the supply and the lamp continues to glow. When all the relays are off leaving no supply to the lamp, the lamp is switched off. One 16 x 2 lines LCD is used to display the condition of the supply sources and the load on real time basis.
