Smart-UPS with a priority-based load management system

Abstract

In this paper, a cost-effective Smart-UPS has been developed which will perform load shedding on a priority basis. This smart UPS will include an accessory installed along with the conventional UPS. This paper relates to the field of managing power distribution. In particular, it pertains to a system and method for power distribution among devices, based on priority. The objective of the present disclosure is to efficient supply to distribute power among requirement of devices, to provide cost efficient power management and to enhance output of the devices with limited power back up. The designed project will switch off lower priority loads according to Battery percentage to minimize the load suffered by the battery. The loads connected to supply load are divided into three sections, i.e. high priority (HP), medium priority (MP) and low priority (LP) loads. The project involves the development of a smart UPS system which will automatically switch off/on the high priority (HP) loads, medium priority (MP) and low priority (LP) loads (specified during installation of the UPS as specified by the user).
