Peak Load Demand Management in Substation Using Labview

This project aims to utilizing renewable energy sources during peak load times which could diversify our nation’s energy portfolio. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, have the vast potential to reduce the dependence of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions in the electric sector. In day to day life all industries and application in various fields to manage the peak load is the difficult one, the power cut take place to compensate the power demand. This power demand can be minimized by interfacing renewable energy (solar, wind) with normal generated power. During peak load times, if the renewable energy sources are made under use, the normal power produced would be saved for a period of time. The load management is done continuously in the substation by monitoring and controlling the loads in the distribution systems. The load management is done by using My RIO protocol with LabVIEW software. The proposed system aims to minimizing the power cut, to save non-renewable energy resources for future generations and also to meet the power crisis. Moreover, solar and wind energy does not pollute the atmosphere like other power plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels like coal, natural gases, etc.
