Abstract

The aim of this study is to implement better heuristics in solving the issue of hysteresis in design of an automatic voltage regulator to bring significant precision and resolution. In rural areas, voltage provided continues to be lesser than specified that does not provide the necessary feed to the electronic circuits where it may be required. This puts sophisticated electronic devices such as computers and other devices at substantial risk. In this proposed work simulated the entire automatic voltage regulator section in Multisim is simulated and hereby proposed a signal conditioning circuit that can resolve the issue of identifying the role of a linear circuit design and a small signal analyzer for amplitude frequency characteristics. In order to restore this circumstance, this research identifies the mechanism for stabilizing a diverse range of input voltage from the lowest to the highest value by discussing a measuring circuit that drives the transformer from either the main side to the secondary side repeatedly. This study therefore proposes an alternative solution by developing an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) involving design of different controllers and systems that operate within the monitoring range. The digital AVR requires certain computational modifications based on certain parameters and features.
