Smart Monitoring & Fault Detection System for Power Transmission Lines using digital sensors

Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Now a days transmission line protection is a key problem in power transmission lines because (85-87) Percentage of power system disturbances are occurring in transmission lines. Identification of fault source is tedious task; fast fault detection can help to protect the equipment before any significant damage of the equipment. The exact fault location can help service man to remove persistent of the faults and locate the areas where the faults occur regularly, thus reducing the occurrence of Fault and minimize the time of power outages. This project proposes an advanced method for detecting and locating faults using real-time data acquisition via sensors interfaced with a ESP32 (microcontroller) and signal analysis.The system continuously monitors voltage levels, identifies abnormal conditions during a fault,calculates the fault location and ensures accurate fault classification (L-G, L-L, L-L-G, L-L-L) displays it on a 16x2 LCD., and an LCD display will Indicate the status of the transmission lines and buzzer will sound when fault is detected.This solution offers a cost-Effective and efficient method to improving response time, reducing down-time and improve the reliability of power transmission networks.
