Abstract

Consider a conventional method of controlling a power generator, with an operator to control the panel board and observe the overall system 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Although this method are effectively runs for most of the system, but there is still a limitation if a system like this are only managed by human. This project was developed to overcome the constraint of the conventional approached. This system, the Auto Control Generator System is able to withdraw the use of operator in managing the generator power control, although not hundred percent but still it can minimize the presence of such situation, and therefore the availability for a human work power can be utilize in other scope of work, resulting in cost reduction in long terms operation. This system is about controlling the generator prime mover to meet the load demand. Another explanation is, when the demand for load is increasing or decreasing the system will automatically detect the changes and come up with a solution whether to run another generator to cope with the increasing demand or to shut off a generator to provide an economic dispatch operation. This system are fully developed using the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, a high level programming language and yet, best for novice user to build up a semi- complex system. The system will rely on a database and for this purpose I use the Microsoft MS Access as the provider. Then by using the Data Control method which featured in the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 I can establish a connection between the system and the database. The system operation is simple, when it runs, the system will get the current time from the computer in which the system are being installed, record it and get the corresponding data (total loads in respective for that particular time) from the database then evaluate the data and lastly choose which generator should run and which should remain undisturbed.
