IoT Based Smart Energy Monitoring System for Distribution Transformer

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

In our present energy distribution system we are not able to monitor line losses. Amount of the energy that is generated cannot consume totally and there is no smart system to monitor that losses.Working of our project is to make a smart system to monitor the line losses in real time by using a variable loads (i.e. resistive, capacitive, and inductive). This project is able to find the line losses in real time we use CT(Current Transformer),PT(Potential Transformer) and sensors to measure the amount of current and voltage and the difference between the output and input are basically the losses that occur in a line and this losses are monitor through mobile application in real time.The idea behind the project is basically to find the line losses that occur after PMT to the load in real scenario.

Project Objectives

IoT based smart energy monitoring system is design to monitor or calculate the line losses.Through this process calculation of line losses is become much easier and the energy management system become more efficient.Basic purpose of our project ,is to make the whole process to calculate line losses very easy and user friendly.

Project Implementation Method

At the first stage of ou project first we design a schmatic diagram of our project then we buy components which was used in our project.Secondly we test our components .Then we do programming of current sensors.Then for the measurement of voltage we design its schmatic and also done its programming.Then we design PCB of our project and fabricate it amd fabrication of PCB we test it.After all of this process we are starting to design our model and implemet all of these tested chunks in our model. then we make our application for the real time measurement of readings and in the end we power up our project.

Benefits of the Project

1.Power consumption can be efficiently managed by monitoring line losses.
2.Power generation company easily monitor line losses in real time for energy saving purpose.
3.Energy managment system become smart.
4. Reduce human efforts.
5. Time saving.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

In this project our purpose is to monitor line losses which are generated in our electrical lines during the transmission of electricity.We design a system which can smartly monitor that line losses.In our design system we design a three phase  Y-Y step down transformer of 220V- 200V its power is 1500W which use as a distribution transformer.We use current transformer (CT) rating of 30A-5A which is used to determine the current in a circuit. This is especially useful for monitoring high-voltage lines throughout the power grid.We use potential transformer (PT) ratingof  220V-12V which step down the voltage to a safe limit value which can be easily measured .We use current sensor ACS712 for the measurement of current.For the measurement of voltage we design a rectifier circuit which can measure our voltages.We use arduino mega 2560 to show our readings in digital. We use GSM module 1800 for deliver our readings  to server.We use 8AWG guage wires in our project.Our system input current is 6.8A and output current is 7.8A. We power up our project with three phase supply then current transformer (CT) step down current and  current sensors ACS712 sense current and after CT we there is a potential transformer (CT) and rectified circuit which sense voltages all of the readings of voltage and current transmitted to arduino which sense that current and voltage and arduino convert that analog signal to digital and GSM module 1800 transmit that reading to the  server, that readings smartly show on our application.Than we here we attached our distribution transformer which step down our voltages upto 200V .Similarly we have CT and PT and variable loads which of (resistive,capacitive and inductive) loads at output side which can monitor the response of  voltages and current of three phase system with different loads and give readings in our real time application.Through this process we can smartly monitor the line losses through real time application. Our application monitor voltages, current, power and power losses of both input and output side of the ditribution transformer.
