Project Summary

As complexity of distribution network has grown, automation of substation has become a need of every utility company to increase its efficiency and to improve quality of power being delivered. Today electricity still suffers from power outages and blackouts due to the lack of non automated system. The purpose of this project is to acquire the remote electrical parameters like voltage, current, frequency, power factor and temperature and send these real time values over network using IoT module and to also control them through mobile application using IoT.  Whenever a fault occurs it sends alert message to the server and there is a backup substation which controls the voltage it can be control on an application by using IoT. This project is also designed to protect the electrical circuitry by operating a relay when a fault will not control by an application. Different sensors are connected which sense the values and backup will provide automatically which resolves the fault at the same time a information is shown on an android application. It compares all the real time values with the pre-defined values, if any of the values exceeds pre-defined values it sends a fault alert to the server and fault can be control by an application and relay trips if a fault is not removed by the system and update is also shown on screen.Through this project a system will give the continuty of supply and protect the equipments which are connected with it.

Project Objectives

In this final year project,we attempt to develop an subustation monitoring and controlling through IoT,an efficient and programmable system which monitor a voltage,current,power factor,temperature frequency and control the voltages and resolve fault automatically

1) Development of the substation a prototype for monitoring        and controlling using Arduino microcontroller

2) To monitor substation parameters in remote areas and to        give message to the web server and to control these              parameters through IoT by an application

3) To compare the non-automated simple substation and an        automated advance substation monitoring and controlling      through IoT

4)To apply android application on the substation for live              stemming

Project Implementation Method

In this project, Arduino UNO and an ESP32 (used as a microcontroller) have been implemented. Using three sensors, current, voltage and temperature sensor which is used for monitoring purpose and frequency is also monitor. These all parameters are shown on 16 * 2 screen. A power supply 5 Volt DC is given to these sensors. A ESP32 is connected to this system which gives all information to the android not only values are shown but also alerts are also shown. A backup substation is connected with it that if there will be fluctuation in voltages then it will control the voltage by switching on some stabilizer circuits it can be ON/OFF automatically or by using android app when there is some fault. These all sensors and LCD is connected with Arduino UNO.A backup substation is connected with power supply and a relay is also connected with it which gives protection to the whole system. An android app is connected with this system which continuously monitor these parameters ON/OFF and also control the substation by an android app when ever a fault occurs or not (for maintenance or other purposes)

Benefits of the Project

To Reduce labor cost.

To Maintain Continuity of supply

Remote Access

Personalized Alert Over Fault

Reduce Hazards

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

This prototype is very useful in small industries or substation where a work can be done by a electronic devices and decrease the number of labors by automatically monitoring and controlling the parameters. It has an ability to continuous monitor the parameters and control them by using an android app. This prototype is useful in remote areas.

This substation is more feasible then the non-automated or simple substation where the most of the work can be done by human or manually. In a conventional system human also takes more time to find the fault. This will cause the hazards to the substation or equipment’s, which can increase the damage.
