Design and Implementation of Smart Load Management (SLM) between Grid and Solar Generation

With the ever-growing demand of electrical energy and alarming danger of continuously decreasing reserves of conventional fossil fuels, people all over the world are shifting toward the renewable energy resources. Solar being the primary source of energy for the planet is in focus for electrical energy production. This paper enables automatic load transfers between grid and solar generation. It senses the availability of sufficient supply from both sources and automatically switches load between them enabling uninterrupted supply to the load. This paper mainly consists of two major parts one is operational network consisting of solar panel, battery storage, inverter and load, while, the other is control mechanism consisting of Arduino, relays, sensors and switches. The control mechanism senses the output of supply sources and manages the load to operate without any interruption even if the supply from grid is cut off. Thus, it mainly automates the load transfer mechanism between solar and grid minimizing the dependence on conventional energy.
