The power plant drive system has been modeled as Asynchronous motor module with 3 phase power of 5 kW. In the alternator part, asynchronous machine was used at 13 kVA power. Voltage, frequency, phase sequence and phase difference magnitudes of alternator and grid are used as input data of Arduino. Voltage, frequency, phase sequence and phase difference magnitudes of alternator and network are used as input data of Arduino. Four different modules have been designed to be integrated into Arduino for every magnitude. These modules evaluate the information from the grid and the alternator. Arduino brings the alternator and the grid in parallel via the relay at the output when appropriate conditions met. Modules designed for the training set, software embedded in Arduino allows practical parallel connection without using different measuring instruments.   }, number={4}, publisher={ISRES Publishing}
