Industrial Power Monitoring and Load Controlling System

Abstract

There is an increasing demand for building an automated system where the individual load can be controlled and monitored through programmable logic controller (PLC) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). It serves to provide the required amount of electricity where and when needed for the smooth operation of the system. Automatic control and monitoring of electrical energy consumption can be beneficial as it provide the framework for a real-time decision. It provides the upper hand over the conventional system as it reduces human error and helps detect abnormal system behavior in less time. In this project, designing and development of a generalized prototype is done where the individual load is monitored and controlled in real-time using PLC and SCADA. This system provides automatic control when the load exceeds.
