IoT Based Transformer Monitoring System

Abstract

Transformers are a vital part of the transmission and distribution system. Monitoring transformers for problems before they occur can prevent faults that are costly to repair and result in a loss of service. This system can provide statistics about a condition of a transformer, but are either offline or very expensive for implementation. Transformers are being the essential part of power transmission network are expensive, as the cost of power interruptions .Due to the cost of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, especially at remote sites, the utility industry has begun investing in instrumentation and monitoring of transformer. Internet of things (IoT) is an open ,digital cellular technology used for transmitting DATA and data facilities .The project objective is to progress low cost solution for monitoring the health condition of remotely located distribution transformers using IOT technology to prevent premature damages of distribution transformers and improving reliability of services to the users .Any change in parameters of transformer is sensed to protect entire transmission and distribution .Power Transformer Parameter fault detection System is one of the sensor based projects for final year which can be used in Power transformers. This project is used to monitor the parameter of Power transformer. If any fault is detected then it will be intimated using a android apps or using a IOT technology. We have measured four basic parameters of transformer.input voltage ,Input line fault ,output voltage,output line fault oil temperature and frequency etc.If there is any abnormality on the system ,the wifi module will send data to server designated android apps and lcd display containing information about the abnormality according to the aforesaid predefined instructions. Thus THMS(Transformer Health Monitoring System) offers a more improved transformer monitoring.
