Remote Monitoring Application for Automatic Power Supply System in Telecommunication Network

Abstract

The source of backup power supply at telecommunication BTS is only temporary because its power only depends on the generator and battery capacity used. However, on the other hand, the backup power system is rarely monitored due to a lack of resources such as human resources and the remote location of the equipment/site. Meanwhile, the use of Android which is open source is now widely used by the public for many things, but there are still not many Android applications used to control the power supply system. The purpose of this research is to design and analyze the automatic backup power system on the integrated power system in the telecommunication network by adding an Android application to monitor the occurrence of faults in the system. The communication used in this research is the connection of the automatic backup power control circuit, the microcontroller, the webserver, and the android application itself. Automatic backup power control circuit in the form of a main power transfer control circuit, for example, the power from State Electricity Company (PLN), if a problem occurs it will switch to the back-up power in the form of a generator and battery. The results show that the design of the automatic power system device can work properly.
