Project Title

IOT Based Power Transformer Fault Detection System

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

Protection of the power system is an important aspect to protect electrical components against the faults to increase their lifetime, postpone unwanted replacement cost of damaged ones and assure continuity of supply to serve the growing demand. This work's prime objective is to develop an IoT (Internet of Things) based system that can be used to protect the transformer by monitoring and controlling the operating parameters, i.e., current value, oil level, etc., and reports that same. Electrical power plays a significant role in people daily activities. Due to the advancement of technology Iot technique is used in most real-time applications. Various sensors are used to collect real data from the environment or objects. With the help of the IoT concept, people can create a machine to machine connection. This proposed system was designed to monitor and detect the faults of the transformer and immediately sent the message to the authenticated person. The important indicators used to measure the condition of the transformer are temperature, oil level, over load. This system can reduce manpower and increases the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of the transformer. The sensor data transfer to the controller and check the indicators limit values. If the indicator's value crosses the threshold values the message transfer to the concerned people. All the sensor values are sent to the android phone through IoT.

Project Objectives

There is a need of modern technique which robotically or through mobile application manage and reveal the current, voltage and different parameters of solar energy structures and offers actual time records to customers. It integrates items and through Wi-Fi for synchronized communication. The modern technique approach for utilization and monitoring that allow the consumer to control and monitor power transformer consumption through IOT. The principle faults which occurs inside a power transformer are categorized as, Insulation breakdown between winding and earth. Insulation breakdown in between different phases. Insulation breakdown in between adjacent turns i.e. inter – turn fault Oil overheating results in breakdown of liquid by heat and formation of methane, ethane and ethylene. Corona is a partial discharge and detected in a DGA by elevated hydrogen. Arcing is the most severe condition in a transformer and indicated by even low levels of acetylene. We have to detect things like Oil lever Temperature Voltage and current

Project Implementation Method

Every second of human life electricity is an important component. Various components are used to regulate the energy distribution based upon the user's requirements . The transformer is one of the major components used to distribute electrical energy. This component distributes the electrical power to the low-level voltage users. The condition of the transformer is the major criterion of the total network. Compare with the other components cost the transformer cost is high. So, continuous monitoring is necessary for all transformers.  The transformer plays a significant role in the electricity domain. observing the condition of the transformer is a very critical task. Any small problems in the transformer also lead to major issues The main goal of the authors Amutha elakkiya et al., 2019 is to collect real-time data from the transformer with the help of the IoT (Internet of Things). This system can be used to monitor the important transformer features like temperature and the current level. The collected data sent through the TCP/IP internet protocol. using this system, the user will receive an alert signal when a power failure occurs. The LED display is used to display the phase defect message.

Benefits of the Project

parameters to the cell phone using the IOT technique A transformer is a major component used in the electrical field. Measuring faults in the internal part of the transformer is a very tedious process. P.G. Navamanikumar et al., 2018 proposes a new system to collect the information from the transformer and send the conditions to the users' mobile by using IoT and GSM concept. Mainly this system is used to monitor the temperature, current, and voltage level of the transformer. MQTT protocol is used to transfer the message to the concerned people. By using this system, the authorized peoples are received an alert message before the transformer going to the fatal condition
