Review: Implementation of Wireless Sensor Network for Monitoring and Protection of High Voltage Transformer

Abstract

The paper proposes an innovative design to develop a system based on AVR microcontroller that is used for monitoring the voltage, current and temperature of a distribution transformer in a substation and to protect the system from the rise in mentioned parameters. Providing the protection to the distribution transformer can be accomplished by shutting down the entire unit with the aid of the Radio frequency Communication. Moreover the system displays the same on a PC at the main station which is at a remote place. Furthermore it is capable of recognizing the break downs caused due to overload, high temperature and over voltage.
