Project Summary

In this project we are developing a monitoring system for power distribution which is IOT based and it will help government and Power Company to make a power distribution plan. Power Company can monitor the power consumption and manage load shedding with the help of this system. Now we have power consumption data which we get from our system, we will use this data and manipulate it. We manipulate it to find power loss factor, fault isolation, billing calculations and power theft. We give access to user to monitor power consumption and their bill status. With the help of this system line man will also eliminate. Therefore, for this project we take a local distribution box from which power is distributed to two houses. We use current transformer and microcontroller arduino nano to measure power consumption. We are sending houses power consumption data to local distribution box with the help of RF module from where it will uploaded to database and then to the webpage. For the ease of customer we also send power consumption data to customer mobile. At houses end consumed power will be sent to the local distribution box, at local distribution box it already have overall power record and power which is sent to the houses. On all these record data we apply manipulation from which we identify power loss factor, diagnose the fault isolation and power theft detection. We have all this data on webpage from which Power Company can easily monitor. The main motive of this project is to develop a IOT based monitoring system for power company so they can monitor the power distribution and respective status from anywhere in the world.

Project Objectives

•It will help the power company to monitor power distribution and manage load shedding at the country level.

•It will improve the transmission system by identifying the power loss factor.

•It will help to diagnose fault isolation of transmission lines.

•It will help to identify theft.

•Help the power company for billing purposes and even customer can monitor the consumption status of power.

Project Implementation Method

we use arduino and current sensor to measure power which is used by houses. it is basically power(electricity) dsitribution monitoring system. So we take two houses and one local box from where power is distributing to that two houses. At houses we take consumed power from our made meter and send it to the local box with the help of bluetooth module. At local box we are measuring overall coming power and supplied power. We take all these power and send it to the database from where it will upload to the webpage. We also apply data manipulation on this data which include theft detection, fault isolation , billing calculation and wire breakage.

we are using nodemcu which is a wifi module  to upload data to the webpage.

we also use gsm module to send sms to customer so customer can be aware of its cpower consumption.

Benefits of the Project

1. A proper monitoring system for power distribution where you can monitor consumed units of houses.

2. Monitor Bill with the help of billing calculation.

3. Identification of Power Theft.

4. Identification of wire breakage.

5. identification of fault in wire.

6. Line man elimination.

7. Customer awared of its power consumption and Monitoring system would go a long way in making people conscious of the amount of energy they consume and help to conserve the conventional depleting resources.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Deliverables.

1. Units consumed by houses.

2. Bill of houses.

3. Supplied unit to the houses.

4. identification of theft.

5.identification of wire breakage.

 6. identification of faulty wire.

 All of the above mentioned things should be on webpage.

7. Unit and bill message to the customer.
