Abstract

This paper wants to show the concept of a system that has been designed to automatically detect any voltage fluctuation (high or low) and/or power outage in the electrical network, thus allowing a continuous and more stable supply of electrical energy. The control module will provide a signal to the automatic transfer switch in the event of a power outage and/or voltage fluctuation (≥30 seconds), allowing the emergency generator to provide a constant flow of power to meet utility demand. load. If a voltage variation greater than 30 seconds occurs, the circuit will switch the load to emergency mode. Most commercially available automatic transfer switches are stand-alone units, with voltage monitoring systems purchased separately, whereas here in the engineered system both systems have been combined into a single, very economical control module. The concept designed were similar to those obtained in the simulations, the behavior of the system in the face of changes in the potential difference and electron flow was higher than expected, providing a constant output signal that controlled the devices connected to the system. without hesitation. These results demonstrated what could be achieved if the control module is deployed and used in the areas most affected by power outages and voltage fluctuations. In conclusion, the operation of the designed control module will provide a fundamental advantage, which will be the total independence of the human factor in the event of an interruption and/or fluctuation (low or high) in the energy service.
