Abstract
This project’s major objective is to autonomously choose from four possible power sources—mains, generator, inverter, and solar—to guarantee a load’s continuous power delivery. This is crucial due to the rising demand for electricity and the frequent power disruptions affecting industries, hospitals, and households. Establishing an alternative power source is imperative to address this issue. In this project, four switches are utilized to simulate the failure of individual power sources. Pressing any of these switches indicates the absence of the corresponding power source. The microcontroller receives these controls as input signals. An 8051-family microcontroller is employed for this purpose. Relay driver integrated circuits (ICs) are linked to the output of microcontrollers to regulate the appropriate relay and maintain an uninterrupted supply of electricity to the load. The output will be monitored using a lamp that initially draws power from the mains supply. Upon failure of the mains supply (triggered by pressing the corresponding switch), the load receives power from the next available source, such as an inverter. The system moves on to the next accessible source if the voltage converter fails as well, and so on. An LCD also shows the status, which indicates which source is powering the load. Owing to practical limitations, only one source with alternating switches is offered to accomplish the same functionality as the four separate sources of supply
Keywords: Arduino Uno, relay driver, LCD, solar, UPS, and generator
