A Real Time Electrical Load Distribution Monitoring and Controlling System Based on PLC and Webserver

As global energy demand is constantly on the rise; power management has been becoming a major issue in the past decades or so due to less energy reserves. Power shutdown is a key crisis at the present time whereas disruption of power can cause a huge production loss for industries which calls for proper power management and monitoring in a systematic way. This paper deals with this issue by developing a prototype system and implementing real time energy monitoring and controlling of the system. In this system, power from main line is distributed and supplied to certain loads. If capacity of distributed load is less than required, then another line will be activated in parallel in order to prevent power shutdown and avoid production losses. Moreover, this process can ensure safety by tripping the system in case of any fault occurrence. All these are performed in an automated process using PLC and Web server.
