Dynamic Load Shedding Management for Optimizing Power Distrubution

Load shedding refers to an intentional electrical power shutdown where electricity is cutoff for periods having not occupying parts of time over distinct distribution region. This work aims at optimizing the power distribution during such cases using dynamic load shedding where the quantity of load shed is a defined variable based on the input signals. This process is programmed in the microcontroller and the circuits correspondingly switch the power to the prioritized plants and keep the system running. This is interfaced with an LCD to display the current status of production. The loads are implemented using Servos and LED. The rotation of load shedding is synchronized by real time clock (RTC). This circuit is powered with a transformer of 12V. The Load Shedding Module consists of microcontroller ATmega2560 which is used to control the overloading. Current Sensor is used to measure current reading from the load. Controlling is done with `C' coding.
