Abstract

Today energy is the most important basis for development of any country. Generation, transmission, distribution, and usage of energy are to be optimized for the proper conservation of energy. Electrical energy is generated from different sources like hydraulic power plants, thermal power plants, nuclear power plants etc. India has ample water sources to produce electrical energy. Presently the long time outage and fault detection during distribution are very serious problems. Also accidents are not uncommon in electrical transmission systems. It is too late to implement advanced systems for power distribution systems, if not implemented now. The main focus of the present work is to modernize the present systems with powerful tools like PLC and SCADA for automatic control of distribution systems. The automatic tap changer maintains the voltage of whole system normally. Thus much manpower could be reduced and major outages can be avoided with maximum safety of the system.
