Iot Based Condition Monitoring System for Distribution Transformer

Abstract

This paper presents a mobile embedded system that is designed and implemented to capture and record data, such as voltage, current, oil level, temperature, humidity, and total power of the transformer. Electrical networks in rely heavily on power transformers. As a consequence, dependability plays a key role. Power transformer maintenance is currently allocated by end users. In contrast, not many resources are available for online condition monitoring. A transformer's reliability and long life are the reasons for this. In light of this, online monitoring might be justified due to the failure costs that may be high.

Through a Wi-Fi Module, a transformer operator can ask any related parameter value of transformer health through the system, even if the operator is not physically present at the transformer site. When transformer parameters exceed predefined limits, this system sends alerts. Monitoring the operating point of single-phase transformers using Arduino and GSM is done remotely. A 16x2 line LCD also displays all proposed parameters. Data from transformers are acquired remotely using a module in this system. SMS messages are sent to the system from the GSM modem to monitor transformer health. A system such as this will ensure smooth operations and prevent transformer failures. To enhance transformer reliability and prevent losses, GSM technology will be used to monitor transformer health in real-time and provide reliable services to customers.
