In recent years, the use of the internet for communication from one device to another device known as the Internet of Things (IOT) is making its presence everywhere. With IoT we are capable of communicating with system devices and to use the devices data for controlling, monitoring and protecting it. Here the project presents design and development of an online power consumption monitor that uses IoT. Apart from this, the monitoring system detects faults in distribution transformer by verifying and maintaining records of the supply voltage and load current.

3. Problem Statement
Electrical systems are growing day by day with the
increased load due to the increase of consumers and the
growth of technology.
This growing must be associated with improvements in
the protection by monitoring these systems to avoid any
catastrophic failure.

4. Continue....
The most efficient way of monitoring is real time
monitoring because it allows you to take actions as soon
as the received data shows any failure in the system. In
this project we are going to focus on the real time
monitoring of a transformer using the Internet Of Things
(IOT).

5. Proposed Solution
A real time monitoring system using the internet of
things would be a great solution for such an issue
as it would be eliminating the need of human
power for such an on site dangerous work and it
will provide accuracy in measuring the parameters
of the distribution transformer. This data will be
accessed from anywhere in the world and further
will be used in maintaining, controlling and
protecting the distribution system.

8. Applications
• Maintain the health of the distribution transformer by operating
it in the optimum conditions and preventing any malfunction
which might cause costly and dangerous failures.
• Protecting the consumers by increasing the safety and to
increase the control ability associated with the distribution
system.

9. Continue.…
• Detecting multiple parameters (load and encompassing
temperatures) at the same time while old detection
systems are capable of monitoring one parameter at a
time.
• Detecting incidental overload and overheating of
transformer oil and winding which cannot be detected
using the current detection methods. All these variables
decreases the life of the transformer.

10. Audience
• This monitoring system will be a very useful tool for
electrical utilities and industrial companies to keep an
eye that never sleeps on their distribution transformers.
• It also provides a very easy way to access the data
using the internet which is almost available to anyone
nowadays.

11. What we have done so far?
• Up till now we have finished the synopsis and the
circuit diagram.
• Currently we are progressing towards the hardware
implementation and the software required codes.

12. Hardware Developed
Undergraduate Final Year Project Presentation
Dated: 13rd Jan, 2021
The circuit demonstrated in the photo
contains two transformers, a power
transformer and a current transformer.
Both transformers will be connected
directly to the distribution transformer.
The other side of the circuit will be
connected to a 12bit Analogue to
digital converter to make the signal
suitable as an input for the micro-controller.

13. Hardware Developed continued

Dated: 13rd Jan, 2021
An Analogue to Digital Converter
will be used to convert the input
signals to digital signals then feed
them into the micro-controller for
further processing.

14. Future Deliverables
• In the future we are going to present the rest of the
project which will include the micro-controller along
with its code and the website where the data measured
will be stored.
