-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract: This project presents the peak load demand management in substation with My RIO Protocol. This aims in making use of renewable energy sources during the peak load times. The management of peak load in day to day life is a difficult task. The demand for power can be reduced by interfacing normal generated power with EB source. The loads in the distribution systems can be continuously monitored and controlled in the substation by using LabVIEW Software with My RIO Protocol. The energy generated by means of solar and wind is stored in the lead acid battery. The readings are monitored simultaneously When there are changes in the base load i.e., increase in peak load, the renewable energy saved in the battery is made use. The inverter is used to convert the dc voltage from the battery to ac voltage. The AC supply is being given to the distributed systems. An output of 85W is being obtained as output. The output obtained can be used for domestic loads like lights, fans, etc. The proposed project aims in minimizing the power cut, reducing the demand of fuel for the upcoming generations and also to meet up the energy crisis. Solar and wind energy is free from pollution since it does not rely on fossil fuels like other power plants. Key Words: Renewable Energy Sources- Solar and Wind, Peak load demand, LABVIEW, Monitoring and Controlling.
1. INTRODUCTION Due to increase in energy consumption and depletion of fossil fuels, the renewable energy sources have become common in our daily life. Nowadays, solar and wind energy power generations are rapidly growing when Š 2017, IRJET

compared to other renewable energy sources. In India, solar potential is high and wind power generations have the limitation of medium wind profile, low plant factor and saturation of optimal wind locations. Solar irradiation is abundant in India with 300 clear sunny days in a year. In this project, solar and wind power are utilized at the time of peak load in the distributed stations. The solar and wind energy are being stored in the battery which can be made use at the peak load times. The load management is done by using the software and it is monitored continuously. 2. RELATED WORK There are several number of papers that have been published and some authors has discussed about the use of renewable energy resources to minimize the power crisis. The proposed method is to make use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind at the time of peak loads to minimize the power demand. We are using MY RIO protocol as a medium to monitor and control the loads in distribution systems. The desired outcome of this project is when there is increase in power demand, the renewable sources are made use. The controlling switching unit is used to on\off the renewable energy sources manually in the substation, based on energy demand. The DC energy stored in the battery is converted into AC supply by using an inverter. The output power from the inverter is used to provide
