Abstract:

This work presents automatic management methods for handling single-phase or two-phase faults on an electrical power transmission line, enabling the redirection of power flow from the defective phase to the normal phases. When one or more phases are disconnected, the automated system provides a portion of the rated power on the receiving side while maintaining the three-phase balance of the load supply. In the event of a fault, alerts are sent in real-time to operators via SMS on their phones or by email, accompanied by an audible alarm and the activation of the relevant indicator lights. This type of work is particularly crucial for both developing countries and developed nations facing frequent short circuits in power transmission networks, as it improves system flexibility and reliability. The Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), combined with a communication module and programmed in VHDL, generates a series of logic gates. It was integrated into the QUARTUS II environment for real-time monitoring of its operation. The outcomes of the simulations confirm the possibility of implementation and effectiveness of the two 240 interphase power controller technologies in managing energy flow, both in standard situations and in times of emergency. Overall, the results demonstrate that using two interphase power regulators, one on the source side and the other on the load side, ensures 98% stability in the transmission of electrical energy.
