Abstract
This project is designed to develop a modern power distribution and control system which is a very thoughtful one in reducing unwanted power usage in modern times. It is a microcontroller operated system where we fix a maximum power limit for each consumer. Night time is considered to be the peak time for energy consumption, to be precise from 6pm to 11 pm. Here we program the microcontroller to cut off the supply when someone uses more power than a pre-set threshold limit. If the consumer connects more load than the threshold limit, it will alert him for a certain time and then automatically cut off the supply. The system also has cloud access to the authority’s server so that they can monitor
each consumer and can manage the connection and disconnection of the power supply. We program the microcontroller to monitor the load, whether it is inside the set limit. Here, we use a current and voltage sensor to calculate the unit of power consumption which will be varied according to the load connected. Microcontroller calculates the unit and amount according to the input pulses from the sensors. An LCD is interfaced for the visual display of unity and amount. A buzzer is connected to the controller to alert the over usage and the load relay will cut off if the usage remains above threshold. The controller can access the server since it has Wi-Fi connectivity. Every second the reading from each consumer.
