IOT Based Transformer Health Monitoring System
Abstract
Transformers are the main building block in a power system. Any damage in transformer adversely affects the balance of a power system. The damages are mainly occurring due to overloading and inefficient cooling. The main objective of the real time monitoring of the health conditions of the distribution transformer using IOT technology. The parameters such as temperature, voltage, current, and oil level of a transformer are monitored, processed and recorded in servers. For this purpose, we use sensors interfaced with atmega328 microcontroller. The recorded data can be send using Wi-Fi module and accessed from anywhere around the world using IOT technology. This helps in identifying human dependency, and solving a problem before a failure without human monitoring.
Keywords: Transformers, Health Conditions, Microcontroller, IOT Technology.
