Automatic Intelligent Transmission Line Fault Detector

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

The fault that occurred in the transmission line is very much dangerous for the locality. Transmission line protection is an important issue in power system. This paper presents a technique to detect the different faults detection on a transmission line for quick and reliable operation of transmission line. These faults directly affect the customers so that it must be found out and rectified as fast as possible. The exact fault location can help the serviceman to remove the persistence the faults and locate the areas where the faults occur regularly, thus reducing the occurrence of a fault and minimize the time of power outages. Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly increasing technology. IoT is the network of physical objects or things embedded with electronic software, sensors, and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. IoT then deals with bringing control of physical devices over the internet. In this project, we are developing a system that will automatically monitor the transmission line faults and generate Alerts/Alarms or make intelligent decisions using the concept of IoT. The information regarding fault occurrence in a particular phase is sent to the web page via IoT device which is NODE MCU(Esp8266) and also shown on the display.
