Upgradation of UPS System of AVCOE Using Various Sensors

This project focuses on the upgradation of the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system at Amrutvahini College of Engineering by incorporating various sensors to improve monitoring capabilities and introduce an alert mechanism. The system utilizes two current sensors to measure battery current and load current respectively. Additionally, two voltage sensors and two temperature sensors are employed to monitor the battery and load voltage as well as the temperature of heat sinks within the UPS. The collected data, including temperature, voltage, current, and maximum load information, is transmitted to a web server using SIM900A. This allows for real-time monitoring and analysis of the UPS system’s performance and health parameters. To ensure proactive maintenance and mitigate potential risks, the system incorporates an alert mechanism. If the temperature of the heat sinks exceeds the predefined limit, an alert is generated. This alert is sent through SMS to a designated mobile device via the SIM900A module, which is integrated with the PIC18F4520 microcontroller. By integrating various sensors, enabling remote monitoring, and implementing an alert mechanism, this project aims to enhance the reliability and performance of the UPS system while ensuring timely intervention in case of critical events.
