SUN TRACKING SOLAR PANEL: The project uses a solar panel coupled to a stepper motor to track the Sun

so that
maximum sun light is incident upon the panel at any given time of the day. The microcntroller used is programmed
to rotate the stepper motor in regular time intervals so that it tracks the sun.This is better compared to light
sensing method that may not be accurate always. The project uses a dummy solar panel for demonstration
purpose.


DETECTING POWER GRID SYNCHRONISATION FAILURE ON SENSING FREQUENCY OR VOLTAGE BEYOND
ACCEPTABLE RANGE: Synchronization failure of an alternate supply source connected to the grid is detected by this
system. The failure can be either under/over voltage or under/over frequency. The project uses a 8051 family
microcontroller to perform this operation. This mechanism is popularly known as islanding of grid connected
source.

UNDERGROUND CABLE FAULT DISTANCE LOCATOR: A fixed set of resistors are used representing the distance of
the cable in kilometers. A DC voltage is fed over the line in mutiplexing mode in combination with a ADC to detect
the fault current and show the distance on a LCD display based on voltage drop principle.
