1. SMART IOT BASED TRANSFORMER PARAMETER MONITORING AND CONTROLLING USING LORA COMMUNICATION

This presents a new Lora communication framework for condition monitoring and controlling of larger number of distribution transformers as they are one of the influential and important equipment in the power distribution network. Great numbers of distribution transformers are required to distribute power over a wide area. That being the case, it is essential to keep an eye on its condition for satisfactory operation of any distributive system. This article describes a technique for leveraging LoRa (Longrange ) technology to monitor a nd assess the health of distribution transformers using particular sensors and devices. This enables the use of Lora modules to record important operational indicators for each distribution transformer within a 10kilometer radius, including voltage, load current, winding and oil temperatures, oil level in the cons ervator, and the state of the breather silica gel.Using a Lora gateway, this data is transmitted to an IoT platform. If a distributional parameter, transformer exceeds the predefined value/level, alerts will be received on the developed web application showing the particular transformer’s location, to take necessary action.
