IOT Based Transformer Monitoring System

Abstract

A distribution transformer is a transformer that provides the final voltage transformation in an electric power distribution system network. Because of, large of transformer and various components over a wide area in a power system, the data acquisition, condition monitoring are the important issues. The remote monitoring of transformer health over internet system is a system that could be used for the real-time data monitoring of transformer through internet of things (IOT). Also it proposed to send the central database via Wi-Fi module for further process. The real time monitoring system consist of embedded system. Wi-Fi and sensors are installed at transformer site which reads and measure the physical quantity from the distribution transformer and further it converts into the analog signal. As the parameters used it processed and records the data in system. In case of emergency situation at distribution transformer the obtained parameters sense the signal and it sends alert to the Android app regarding information about the parameter signals at distribution transformer according to the data occurred by the microcontroller. Arduino board designs use a variety of microprocessors and controllers the are equipped with a set of digital and analog input/output pins that may be interfaced to various expansion boards and other circuits.
