dc.description.abstract | Transformers of substation are one of the most important equipment in the power system network.
Because of a large number of transformers and various components over a wide area in power
systems, data acquisition, condition monitoring, automatic controlling are important issues. The
project aims to design a monitoring and protection system for the transformer with the help of
GSM technology. The present monitoring system requires manpower which is time-consuming
and it is difficult to predict the occurrence of faults. In this project, we designed a system that
continuously monitors the transformer parameters such as load current, voltage, and oil
temperature with the help of sensors. These values are displayed continuously on the LCD. If any
abnormalities occur in the transformer then the relay tripping system is active, and an alert message
with the parameter values are sent to the monitoring center using the GSM module which is
integrated with the Arduino board. This system will help the transformer to operate smoothly and
identify problems before any catastrophic failure | en_US |
