INDUSTRIAL POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
In this project we are going to Monitor, Measure & Control the parameters Transformer
temperature, Mains voltage monitoring. The main advantages of the power
management automatic monitoring and controlling of transformer temperature and
Monitoring of line voltage.
Microprocessor-based multifunction protective relays, substation-hardened remote I/O modules,
and revenue meters are used to gather data throughout a power system.The power
management system algorithms acquire this Information, make decisions, and send
commands back to these relays, meters, and I/O modules. Closed loop, wide area
control systems run on independent substation-hardened computation engines. Large
capacity servers are used for the SCADA and engineering databases.
In this project Protection systems protect the tremendously expensive assets such as
transformers, buses, lines, generators, motors, heaters, capacitors, and switchgear. These
systems can prevent or minimize catastrophic damage to equipment, thereby minimizing process
downtime.
