MICROCONTROLLER BASED SUBSTATION MONITIRING AND CONTROL VIA IOT

ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

As the distribution network has gotten more complicated, substation automation has become a must for every utility business looking to enhance efficiency and electricity quality. The proposed project, which is an IOT-based substation control system, would assist utility companies by ensuring that local-substation defects are quickly identified and notified to the appropriate departments using IOT, reducing the duration of intensity incursion. SMS messages will be sent out containing the measured parameters. The microcontroller will work inconjunction with sensors installed at a nearby substation to complete a task as directed.. Electrical characteristics such as current and voltage will be compared to their rated value on a regular basis to safeguard the distribution and power transformer from overload, short circuit faults, overvoltages, and surges. Under such circumstances, the entire device is shut down, with transfers detecting it and the electrical switch being killed promptly. To show this, SMS alerts may also be created. The use of GSM makes the substation intelligent in the sense that it can send and receive signals and information. This saves time and money at the substation by lowering labour costs. The sub-observing station's and functioning effectiveness will undoubtedly improve in this method.
