Abstract

Transformers form an integral part of the electrical power grid are widely employed in a variety of power-system applications inter alia power generation and distribution systems, and arc- and induction-furnace applications. Transformers are among the most expensive components in power systems but the protection and health requirements thereof are still catered for by traditional auxiliary protective devices and cooling control systems. This paper reports the development of an IoT-based condition monitoring system that offers advanced protection and control features. The condition monitoring system is intended to directly contribute to enhancing the lifespan of the transformer by detecting fault conditions at an early stage before catastrophic failure can occur and by ensuring that the quality of the transformer's insulation is preserved for a greater period through improved cooling techniques.
