SCADA FOR POWER PLNAT Objective: The objective of this project is to monitor the voltage, current, frequency and

power factor in the power plant by supervise control and Data Acquisition Method. Scope: This project is very useful to power plant to monitor the voltage, current, frequency and power factor. We are monitoring those parameters through SCADA which is effective method compare then others. In this project we create the SCADA with the help of VB soft ware. Brief Methodology: This project is designed with Potential transformer Current transformer Precision rectifier Microcontroller Power factor circuit ADC ZCD RS 232 PC with Lab VIEW Relay driver circuit with relay In this project we monitor the power plant voltage and current is monitored by potential transformer and current transformer respectively. In potential transformer the input voltage is step downed to required voltage then given to precision rectifier circuit. Normal rectifier 0.7v is dropped across the diode to avoid this we are using precision rectifier. It is constructed with operational amplifier. Then the rectified voltage is given to ADC. Similarly in the current transformer the secondary current is converted in to corresponding voltage by shunt resistor. Then the converted voltage is given to precision rectifier then the rectified voltage is given to ADC.

ADC is nothing but analog to digital converter which converts the incoming analog signals to corresponding digital signals. The converted digital signal is given to micro controller. The output of the potential transformer and current transformer is given to ZCD in order to monitor the frequency. ZCD is nothing but zero crossing detectors which converts the sine wave to square wave pulse given to microcontroller. Similarly the power factor circuit is used to monitor the cosine angle between the voltage and current. The output of the power factor circuit is given to microcontroller. Here the microcontroller is flash type reprogrammable microcontroller in which we have already programmed. It received the input from ADC and above mentioned circuit then given to PC through RS 232 converter. The RS 232 is used to interface the microcontroller with PC. In PC we designed the SCADA with help of VB. Now we can monitor the voltage, current, frequency and power factor from PC. If any one parameter is increased above the normal setting value the PC sends the signal to microcontroller through RS 232. Now the microcontroller activates the relay driver circuit. So we can save the equipment or shunt the power in the power plant. Advantage: 1. It is efficient method compare then other. 2. More Accuracy. 3. We can easily monitor the power plant parameter. Application: 1. This project is very useful to the power plant. 2. It is used in the big industries where the heavy power is handled.
