  Distributed generation is widely being utilized, so the basic theme of this
research is to have a hands-on experience to synchronize a Distributed Energy
Resource (DER) to the Mains Grid. A control algorithm is implemented for energy
supply from both sources i.e. DER and Mains Grid, according to the cost and
availability of each source. When load changes, so that the synchronization
does not lose. LabVIEW software is used for the implementation of the desired
system. Validation is done by experimenting in the lab. In order to keep the
system stable, the algorithm has been developed to shift the load from one bus
to the other depending upon the load requirements. The project is a test bed
and can be used for further experimentation and prove helpful in developing a
basic understanding of Smart Switching using LabVIEW.
