Abstract

The project “Smart Grid Controlling by using PLC ”is a combination of both hardware and software. This project shows the smart grid substation controlling by taking the two generating sources, one is solar energy and another one is main power supply from thermal power plant.

In this project we are try to make an interconnected smart grid so that we can improve the accuracy, reliability, easy fault reduction of electric lines. By using PLC we trace the location of fault and also monitor the power consumption at load side. In this project we monitor the line to ground fault's location at the lines of the rating of 230 V and 30 V.

The main advantage of interconnected system is that, the system is never shut downed, if a fault occur in a line then We can take supply from another line so that, the supply of Power transfer will make continuous.
