Transformer Health Monitoring System

This project aims to monitor key indicators of a distribution transformer, including load currents, voltages, and ambient temperatures. Sensors measure these parameters and send the data via GSM to mobile phones. If abnormalities are detected, SMS messages are sent to alert utilities so issues can be addressed before catastrophic failure. The system integrates a microcontroller with sensors and a GSM modem to remotely monitor the transformer and optimize its usage.

CONDITION BASED HEALTH MONITORING OF

TRANSFORMERS

AIM:
The main aim of this project is to monitor and record key operation indictors of a
distribution transformer like load currents, voltages and ambient temperatures.

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this project is to send the information to the mobile by using GSM
technology about the distribution transformer operations like load currents, voltages and
ambient temperature. If there is any abnormality or an emergency situation the system
sends SMS (Short Message Service) messages to designated mobile telephones.

DESCRIPTION:

This project presents design and implementation of a mobile embedded system to


monitor and record key operation indictors of a distribution transformer like load
currents, voltages and ambient temperatures. The proposed on-line monitoring system
integrates a Global Service Mobile (GSM) Modem, with stand alone single chip
microcontroller and sensor packages. It is installed at the distribution transformer site and
the above mentioned parameters are recorded using the built-in 8-channel analog to
digital converter (ADC) of the embedded system.
The acquired parameters are processed and recorded in the system memory. If there
is any abnormality or an emergency situation the system sends SMS (Short Message
Service) messages to designated mobile telephones containing information about the
abnormality according to some predefined instructions and policies that are stored on the
embedded system EEPROM. Also, it sends SMS to a central database via the GSM
modem for further processing. This mobile system will help the utilities to optimally
utilize transformers and identify problems before any catastrophic failure.

TECHNOLOGY:
Every system is automated in order to face new challenges in the present day
situation. Automated systems have less manual operations, so that the flexibility,
reliabilities are high and accurate. Hence every field prefers automated control systems.
Especially in the field of electronics automated systems are doing better performance.

Probably the most useful thing to know about the global system for mobile
communication is that it is an international standard. If you travel in parts of world,
GSM is only type of cellular service available. Instead of analog services, GSM was
developed as a digital system using TDMA technology.
