Real Time Monitoring of a Distribution Transformer based on IoT

Abstract

In this project represents the real time monitoring of a distribution transformation based on iot, i.e. Implemented on a mobile embedded system to measure to load current, voltage, temperature and humidity. The internet of things is an online based working of physical devices, vehicles and other objects which consists of an embedded system with sensors, actuators and network connectivity that collect and exchange data. The iot allows the objects to be sensed and/or controlled remotely across the existing network of the physical world into computer-based systems, and result in improved accuracy, efficiency and economic benefits. It is installed at the distribution transformer site. The load current, voltage, temperature and humidity of the distribution transformer is measured by the sensors are processed and recorded in the system memory. The system is programmed with a code to check the abnormal condition. The iot will help the utilities to monitor the distribution transformer in minute to minute date transfer to the user to identify the problems before any catastrophicfailure occurs. Hence the minute to minute monitoring of a distribution transformer health measuring will help us to identify or predict the unexpected situations before any fault occurs which leads to a greater economic loss.
