An IoT Based Real-Time Monitoring and Controlling of Sub-Station Equipment

Many electricity transmission companies are frequently looking for multiple ways to utilize modern technologies , to improve the reliability of power supply to consumers . This paper is about monitoring the internal characteristics of the Transformer. Generally, a transformer is a static electrical device which can be either step up or a step -down transformer used to supply electricity to customer premises. Monitoring the internal characteristics of the transformer becomes a fiery task . In case of any damage in internal properties of transformer will leads to huge drawback. So it is highly mandatory to keep an eye on the internal factors of a transformer . In a transformer many factors are present but some of the factors that are very important to monitor such kind of factors are oil level , temperature , voltage , and current level . Here ultrasonic sensors , temperature sensors, voltage, and current sensors are used to monitor these parameters. A microcontroller is used to integrate all the sensors . These sensed parameters will be displayed in a developed Android Application . By this process , the health of the transformer can be monitored regularly . By this system , the live acquired data of transformer health can be monitored remotely over the internet using the Internet of things . This system is fully based on embedded through IoT.
