IOT Based Performance Monitoring of Power Transformer System

Project Title

IOT Based Performance Monitoring of Power Transformer System

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Transformer is important to the electric power systems, and its accurate performance monitoring or fault diagnosis is still hard.The monitoring system based on IOT technology consists of two parts: a data measurement subsystem and a data reception subsystem. The system can acquire data from different sensors. And this data can be saved to the cloud system synchronously with the memory card on the monitoring system. In this system parameters like input & output voltage, current and oil level are monitored using the low cost Node MCU microcontroller. In this study, it is aimed to develop a low cost and open source performance monitoring  system that can be alternative to high cost monitoring systems in the literature.

1. Monitoring of over current

2. Monitoring of over voltage

3. Monitoring of oil level and Quality

4. Monitoring of Heating/Temperature

Project Implementation Method

Benefits of the Project

1.Increasing and Decreasing Level of Current

2.Increasing and Decreasing Level of Voltage

3.Oil Level and Quality

4.Increasing Temperature

    When above mentioned cases are increasing or decreasing transformer tells us with the help of LCD or sensors.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

1. By using the IoT and protection algorithm, a smart self-protection system is designed for the transformer. Where, if any major fault (overvoltage, over current, etc.) detected in transformer monitoring system transformer alerts us.
2. If transformer is not serviced in low oil quality, low oil level, the system will send alert.
