ABSTRACT
To maintain the reliability in grid operation it is important to monitor
real time transformer health. We know the importance of
transformers in electricity distribution and transmission. They are the
main components and constitute the large portion of capital
investment of the distribution grid. Real time transformer health
monitoring systems help to replace the equipment before failure and
continuity of the power will not be disturbed.

Why it’s important to develop IoT Based Transformer


Monitoring System?
To understand this we need to find the drawbacks of the conventional
transformer monitoring system and the biggest problem in the
electricity distribution grid.

 Most of the distribution transformer are remotely located in a


rural area, where regular monitoring by human observation is
difficult to perform due to insufficient manpower.
 Our existing monitoring systems are not supported for real time
operations. There is to many transformer failure cases are
detected every day.
 Not allowed for planning operation downtime.
 Conventional system Don’t have any internal fault testing
[incipient fault monitoring]

To overcome the above drawbacks we need a smart and reliable


solution to monitor the distribution transformer parameter and send it
to the IoT platforms in real time. It enables the grid operator to define
the performance of the unit. It also provides important information
about transformer health. IoT Based Transformer Monitoring System
will allow the utilities to optimally run the transformer and keep this
equipment in operation for a longer period.

The important parameter we needs to monitor


 Transformer Temperature
 Oil Level
 Oil Quality
 Current level
 Voltage level
 Humidity
 KVA and Power Factor
 Incipient fault monitoring

Additional Features

 Flux based inter turn fault detection


 Overcurrent Protection alert and Protection
 Overvoltage protection alert and Protection
 Temperature Control [stage 1 :Fan on | Stage 2 : Disconnection]
 Oil Quality monitoring using optical sensor
 Kva and power factor alert
 Oil level monitoring using ultrasonic sensor
ADVANTAGES

 Detect of the faults in real time base on current, voltage,


temperature and internal flux.
 Increase system reliability and stability by the monitoring
system.
 The system prevents faults and losses of the power supply
which significantly benefits utility consumers
 Overcurrent, overtemperature are prevented using this
technique.

Application

 Distribution transformer monitoring


 Smart Grid
 Power Transformer Monitoring
