ABSTRACT
The project is to integrate solar power with WAPDA supply as taking solar as main input. It will provide power to loads if solar energy is not available. It is an improvement to the existing Solar power generation projects because it intelligently control the power . Load will be managed according to the available power source.

ABSTRACT
It is a prototype project for 100/200 (DC/AC) watts. It automatically calculates the load and manage it. Program will be made available in form of a calculator which will do all the calculation and load management. According to the need of users we can calculate our complete system requirements via software.

Goals & Objectives

In a country like Pakistan where Energy crisis is burning issue & conventional sources are not enough to fulfill the requirements so we need to move towards the non-conventional sources like Solar Power. Solar power can provide energy in remote Areas without any transmission loss To provide alternate power system in low cost. User friendly system

Hardware Solar panel Charge controller Control circuitry Battery Inverter Rectifier DC and AC loads (for collecting solar energy) (monitoring & controlling) (intelligently control system) (storage power) ( DC to AC for AC loads) ( AC to DC conversion) ( Loads)

Hardware & Software

Software Different languages like C++ , Or any other programming language for software purpose (for calculations) can be used. Assembly or C language for charge controller and control circuitry can be used.

Applications
It can be effectively applied in countries like Pakistan where solar energy is available in excess about 4 to 5 peak hours.

Generally It can be applied in homes, offices, Education centers, Hospitals etc. It can also be applied in remote areas without any Transmission cost.

Future Enhancements
In Future projects of solar power system people can use Solar tracker to increase its efficiency.

Solar power could be integrated with WAPDA or any other power system such as wind power system. Currently Solar Panels are not utilized on industrial level but it can be use by applying on broader level.

Proposed Timeline
Summer In three months of summers Load calculations Cost calculations Software work 7th Semester In 7th semester hardware and software for DC loads will be done. 8th Semester In 8th Semester complete project for DC loads as well as AC loads will be done with automatic load management system. Also the project will hopefully be completed at the end of 8th semester.
