With the increasing pressure on our natural resources and diminishing soil quality, there is a need to make better efforts to conserve them. This project aims to help control the irrigation in a small field. The motor pump set equipped at the field is prone to a variety of operational issues like Power Quality issues, Reverse run of the pump, Irregular Power Supply. Using an ATMEGA Microcontroller equipped with GSM Module for connectivity, this model is able to provide the user with remote control for the motor pump set equipped at his field. Additionally, this model comes with protection schemes for detection of Input Phase Sequence Supply and protection against Over Voltage and Over Current. This system aims to reduce the man power requirement in the field by providing remote or at home control of the pump set applied on the field with cost effective and easy control which can be used by unskilled operators as well.

Supply Reliability

During the functioning of power supply system, there can be situations where the culprit in interruptions of power supply to consumers and a power quality violation is a power supply company or a consumer himself. Therefore, the economic incentive for power supply companies and consumers to increase power supply reliability and power quality is an urgent task. To implement such incentives, it is necessary to control the facts and time of power supply outages and their values as well as cases and time of non-compliance of power quality with the requirements of standards. It is possible with the use of a monitoring system for power supply reliability and power quality. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in developing a technical and economic method for stimulating power supply companies and consumers to increase efficiency of power supply system. (Materials and methods) The article provides a review of the structural diagram of a system for monitoring power supply reliability and power quality including devices for monitoring the number and duration of power outages and voltage deviations. (Results and discussion). An economic method has been developed to stimulate power supply companies and consumers to increase power supply system efficiency. The essence of the method is to control the parameters of power supply reliability and power quality, identify the violation of these parameters, determine the culprit of the violation, determine the time characteristics of the violation, summarize the duration of violations for the reporting period, compare the actual amount of duration with the allowable one, determine the amount of compensation for the violation and impose sanctions on payment compensation by the perpetrators of violations of these parameters. The article presents an algorithm for adjusting the cost of electricity supplied to consumers depending on the number and duration of voltage deviations and the number and duration of outages. The algorithm serves to ensure the operation of the specified technical and economic method. (Conclusions) The algorithm works in conjunction with a system for monitoring power supply reliability and power quality based on signals from devices that control the number and duration of outages and voltage deviations.

Islanded Operation

Microgrids can be used for securing the supply of power during network outages. Underground cabling of distribution networks is another effective but conventional and expensive alternative to enhance the reliability of the power supply. This paper first presents an analysis method for the determination of microgrid power supply adequacy during islanded operation and, second, presents a comparison method for the overall cost calculation of microgrids versus underground cabling. The microgrid power adequacy during a rather long network outage is required in order to indicate high level of reliability of the supply. The overall cost calculation considers the economic benefits and costs incurred, combined for both the distribution network company and the consumer. Whereas the microgrid setup determines the islanded-operation power adequacy and thus the reliability of the supply, the economic feasibility results from the normal operations and services. The methods are illustrated by two typical, and even critical, case studies in rural distribution networks: an electric-heated detached house and a dairy farm. These case studies show that even in the case of a single consumer, a microgrid option could be more economical than network renovation by underground cabling of a branch in order to increase the reliability.
