Microcontroller and solar power based electrical energy management system for renewable energy applications

"Microcontroller and solar power based electrical energy management system for renewable energy applications" has its own distribution, controlling and monitoring system for the amount of electrical energy (kW h) and this system is based on smart energy metering. This hardware project measures the electrical energy (kW h) as well as controls the amount of electrical energy from supply to load during day and night automatically. It is also equipped with the control of alternative source of electricity (solar energy). The measurement can be performed up to ten lac units and controlling can be up to two lac units. In the controlling part, the mains supply is automatically tripped and the project provides the alternative power supply in the absence of the mains supply by using the renewable (solar) energy source, when the energy consumption from the mains supply exceeds the preset limit.
