Smart Load Optimisation Overload And Short Circuit Fault Monitoring using Programmable Logic Controller & SCADA

This research presents a real-time automatic control system for ensuring reliable power supply in distributed generation systems. Leveraging Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), the system prioritizes and dynamically switches loads based on available power sources. By utilizing ladder logic for PLC programming and SCADA for centralized monitoring, the system effectively manages power distribution and minimizes manual intervention. Demonstrated in industrial settings, this approach enhances operational efficiency and reliability, particularly in regions prone to power outages.
