Abstract

Transformers are crucial components of power distribution networks, and it is crucial to continuously monitor their performance parameters to guarantee efficient and dependable power transmission. By utilising microcontroller (ESP32) and Internet of Things connectivity capabilities, the suggested system seeks to improve transformer monitoring capabilities. The transformer unit, microcontroller unit, and IoT gateway are the system's three primary parts. The transformer unit gathers data from the three phases of the transformer, including voltage, current, temperature, and oil level. After that, the microcontroller unit which is ESP32 receives these parameters and processes them. The cloud-based monitoring platform and the microcontroller are connected through the IoT gateway. It creates a secure connection to the internet and delivers the data that has been gathered to a distant server for archival and analysis. The monitoring platform via smartphone offers operators a simple user interface. The proposed system has a few benefits over conventional monitoring methods. In the beginning, it permits real-time monitoring of crucial transformer parameters, enabling prompt detection of anomalies and potential failure prevention. Second, the IoT technology integration allows for remote access to the monitoring platform. In conclusion, the combination of an IoT-based system with a microcontroller-based system provides a reliable and scalable solution for monitoring threephase transformers.
