IOT Based Automatic Transmission Line Fault Detection System

Abstract

Many distinct components make up the electrical system. One of these is the transmission system, in which electricity is delivered to consumers along power lines from substations. These approaches have the potential to encounter numerous kinds of errors, or "issues," as well. When the insulation of a power system eventually fails, a fault is simply defined as a series of unintended but unavoidable events that might briefly disrupt the steady state of the system. To properly and precisely mark and localize the occurrence of a fault, an intelligent fault detecting and localization system was deployed. This guarantees a quicker response time from the technical team to address these issues, protecting transformers from harm and catastrophes. The system makes use of an audio signal, an IOT module, an LCD, a current transformer, a voltage transformer, an Arduino uno controller, and an RS-232 connector. The system uses an algorithm based on impedance to automatically detect defects, analyze and classify them, and then determine their distance from the control room. The control room receives the error information at the end. In summary, it can be said that because the system automatically and precisely delivers information on the specific position of the fault, the amount of time needed to locate the fault is greatly decreased. Using this project, we can monitor temperature, voltage, and current on an LCD screen and an IOT module, as well as single-phase transmission line issues.
