IoT based Online Power Consumption Monitoring of a Distribution transformer feeding Domestic/Commercial Consumer loads

In recent years the use of the internet for communication with one device to another device known as the Internet of Things (IoT) is making its presence everywhere. With IoT it is capable to communicate with system device and to use the device data for controlling monitoring and protecting it. Here the paper presents design and development of online power consumption monitoring by loads from a distribution transformer using IoT. Apart from this, the monitoring system detects faults in distribution transformer by verifying and maintaining records of the following parameter of the transformer like the current drawn, input voltage available to the load transformer. The above parameters are sensed using sensors which are then preprocessed as per the controller analog input requirements. Accordingly, the controller processes the parameters as per the embedded algorithm. The output from the controller is then sent to IoT server for analyzing through user friendly GUI and graphs.
