The "Automatic Reservoir Monitoring and Control System", called ARMAC for short, is a computerized control system for the monitoring and control of dam gates and reservoirs. Today, ARMAC is successfully applied in numerous dams all over the world. The ARMAC system measures the water level of a dam every 15 minutes. The system takes into consideration the geographical contours of each reservoir, the so-called area volume curves, as well as decades of historical river-flow data and the outfall water levels. The real-time data are compared with the stored data and the current local requirements. This way the optimum opening of the spillway gates is calculated. Rising and sinking water levels are measured by means of water level sensors installed in upstream and downstream positions. The ARMAC software allows the exact monitoring and adjustment of the water flows to maintain specified water levels.
The main purpose of the project is to detect the location of fault in underground cable lines from the base station in kilometers using a Renesas micro-controller. This project uses the standard concept of Ohms law i.e., when a low DC voltage is applied at the feeder end through a series resistor to the Cable lines, then current would vary depending upon the location of fault in the short circuited cable. Both the methods use voltage convertor, microcontroller and potentiometer to find the fault location under unsymmetrical faults.
In the urban areas, the electrical cables run in undergrounds instead of overhead lines. Whenever the fault occurs in underground cable it is difficult to detect the exact location of the fault for process of repairing that particular cable and long outage of power supply can cause the power distributors and retailers heavy loss of revenue and discomfort of the customers. Therefore, a quick detection and rectification of the faults is a major drawback for other power distributors and retailers. The proposed system finds the exact location of the fault using GSM Module and IOT
This system uses a Renesas micro-controller and a rectified power supply. Here the current sensing circuits made with combination of resistors are interfaced to Renesas controller with help of the ADC device for providing digital data to the microcontroller representing the cable length in KM’s. The fault creation is made by the set of switches. The relays are controlled by the relay driver IC which is used for switching the power sequentially to all the lines. A 16x2 LCD display connected to the microcontroller to display the information.
In case of short circuit (Line to Ground), the voltage across series resistors changes accordingly, which is then fed to an ADC to develop precise digital data to a programmed Renesas board that further displays fault location in kilometers.
The project future can be implemented by using capacitor in an ac circuit to measure the impedance which can even locate the open circuited cable.

Transformers Monitoring for problems before they occurs can prevent the faults that are expensive to repair and results in loss of service. Transformers are the essential part of power transmission network and expensive, as the cost of power failures. Because of much cost of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, especially at the remote sites, the utility industry began investing in instrumentation and monitoring of the transformer. in this project we are implementing and of a mobile embedded system to monitor key parameters of a distribution transformer like load currents, oil level and ambient temperature. The idea of monitoring system integrates a global service mobile Modem, with a single chip microcontroller and different sensor interfacing. It is installed at the distribution transformer site and the above parameters are recorded using the analog to digital converter ADC of the embedded system. The parameters are processed and recorded in the system memory. If any emergency situation occurs the system sends SMS message to the mobile phones containing information about abnormality according to some predefined instructions which are programmed in the microcontroller. This system mobile will help the transformers to operate perfectly and identify problems before any failure. Assi. Prof. T. S.

This is an innovative system that automates the system
inside the dam. In traditional method, the water level was
sensed by sensors but operator used to operate those dam
gates manually up to required level which consumes more
manpower. Also, it needed to be monitored periodically so
that the water pressure should not affect the dam walls and
should not overflow over the dam gates. The fundamental
motivation behind this venture is to control the dam shade
naturally.
3. AIM
3
Dam failure is one of the biggest disasters
that could happen. Manual dam
management systems cannot be 100%
reliable. There is a need for 100%
automated sensor-based dam operation
system. Hence, the main purpose of this
project is to control the dam shutter
automatically.
4. OBJECTIVES
4
To reduce the load of operator.
To introduce this technique in this developing world
ensuring the utility of multidisciplinary fields like
mechatronics, robotics, Artificial Intelligence etc.
To decrease the maintenance cost of system.
To reduce the only use of mechanical linkages and
different mechanisms in the system.
Using this, the risk of disaster strike can also be
minimized such as floods, tsunami etc. if opening and
closing of the dam gates is properly managed.
6. Water Level
Sensor
This sensor can be used to measure the water level, monitor a
sump pit, detect rainfall or detect leakage. The sensor has a series
of ten exposed copper traces, five of which are power traces and
five are sense traces. These traces are interlaced so that there is
one sense trace between every two power traces. Usually these
traces are not connected but are bridged by water when
submerged.

10. Dam shutter
(Gate)
Dam gates are adjustable gates used to control water flow in flood
barriers, reservoir, river, stream, or levee systems. They may be
designed to set spillway crest heights in dams, to adjust flow rates
in sluices and canals, or they may be designed to stop water flow
entirely as part of a levee or storm surge system. Since most of
these devices operate by controlling the water surface elevation
being stored or routed, they are also known as crest gates.

Component No. 5
11. CONSTRUCTION
11
The series of float sensors are fitted in such a way that the
gate will open partially or fully as per requirement of
water to be allowed to pass from one side to another.
Those float sensors are connected to the microcontroller
which is also interfaced with LCD screen to display the
status of water level in dam.
The transformer is connected to the LCD screen through
bridge rectifier and voltage regulators so as to convert low
AC voltages at high current or decreasing high AC
voltages at low current as required.
The microcontroller is also connected to the gate which
would play a vital role in completing the circuit loop.
12. WORKING
12
When the current is supplied or the power is given to the system, the
transformer converts it into the required amount of current only by using
step-up or step-down technique.
The required supply now reaches the voltage regulator which regulates
the amount of voltage and distributes it into two phases, a
microcontroller and a LCD display.
Now all the components are in operating condition.
When the water level touches the first sensor fixed at bottom, the signal
is sent to microcontroller which further sends the signal to dam gate and
the gate opens a little wider and the water is allowed to pass through it.
This is the condition when water level in the dam is moderate.
Now as the water level increases, the sensor sends the signal to
microcontroller which forwards the signal to the gate and this time the
gate opens partially and the water flows through the dam.
This condition is applied when water level in the dam is full.
Now when the water level is overflowing, same function is done by top
sensor and the dam is free from risk of damage due to water pressure.

The system requires a permanent
power supply.
Advantages Disadvantages
14. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
14
Since wired technology is used in our system there is scope to further modify it by using
wireless RF technology. Thus the communication between the controller and the driving
element can be established wirelessly. Therefore a major future work can be possible in which
a centralized control of all the dams in a state using GPRS or other wireless technology under
central government can be beneficial to whole country. We tried to suggest ways to tackle this
problem and implement an efficient water level monitoring and management system. The
main motto of this research work is to establish a flexible, economical and easy configurable
system which can solve our water distribution problem between two regions and safeguard
the low lying areas from floods etc. among many other issues.
15. CONCLUSION
15
The proposed way of dam gate control system reduces the water wastage, ensures
efficient use of available water resources, highly beneficial for industrial purpose and
generates more precise and accurate results. Just one operator is sufficient for opening
and closing the gate according to sensor output. Because of this system the efficiency
is increased and cost is reduced due to use of microcontroller instead of PLC or
another expensive controller.
