Abstract The various parameters which are used to measure the generators (which are used in substation) are their input power (in KVA-kilo volt amperes), terminal voltage, current, and power factor. Various methods came into existence in order to measure these parameters and some of them are by the use of Heffron–Phillips model, load model, and so on. But here we are using LabVIEW software as DATA LOGGER which will be helpful to monitor these given parameters more effectively and efficiently. Proteus simulation model is also developed to check its accuracy. In order to monitor these parameters, received data will be again transmitted through virtual serial port at 9600 baud rate and it is being received and displayed in the graphical user interface. This system will be easy to use with the help of this software and further studies can also be conducted so as to make it easier to use in the future years. Keywords LabVIEW software model

1 Introduction In the present scenario of automation and control, most of the systems which were mostly running slowly due to analog systems are now digitalized and became more advanced which gives very fast response in the required time interval. Whenever the electrical power is generated in a power plant, then it is being transmitted toward load side by the means of transmission lines. From the main station, the generated voltage is stepped up by the means of step-up transformers (also called power transformers) and then these are propagated over long distance. Now here comes the actual picture, i.e., in a campus there is also a substation and also a Abhinav Shukla (&) Abhas Rajesh Singh Anita Gehlot Electronics, Instrumentation and Control Department, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, India e-mail: [email protected] © Springer Science+Business Media Singapore 2017 R.

generator which distributes the power in the different parts of the campus depending upon the need. Now, in order control and monitor the various parameters of the generator which is used in the substation are the important part. It is important to know because if any excess voltage which cannot be beard by the load side can be controlled and monitored so that the overall loss can be minimized. Here, in this method of monitoring and control of these parameters, LabVIEW software will be used as a data logger in the receiver side. “Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench” (LabVIEW) is a system design platform and development environment for visual programming language from National Instruments. And also a DATA LOGGER which is a device that stores information time to time through the external world like instruments and sensors.
