Abstract
Diesel Generator (DG) sets are used in industries as backup power sources which will automatically start up when grid supply is lost. In order to reduce fuel consumption, DG sets are synchronized with solar power plants dually monitoring the load requirements in industries so that DG sets will work under the optimum condition of 30% load when excess solar power is available. There will be no problem when the load is higher than the solar power supply, solar power is fully consumed and the remaining power required for load is taken from DG. But, if the load is lesser than to the solar power supply after the load is fed using solar power, the remaining power left in solar will reverse back to the DG set which causes tripping and also damages the key components of the generator. To curb this problem, an electronic controller is designed to control the operation of DG and solar plants so that solar power can be used efficiently by using LabVIEW software.
