Automatic Multiple Fault Detection in Transmission Lines Using Arduino Based IoT Systems

Abstract

Fault detection and recognition method for single-phase overhead transmission lines are proposed in this article. Since the advent of generation and transmission networks, fault detection has been a priority of power system engineers. Fast fault identification aids in infrastructure protection by allowing faulted lines to be disconnected until they do serious harm to the equipment. The precise fault information assists utility workers in removing recurring faults. As a result, while fault detection systems have been implemented in the past, several algorithms are now being developed to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of this mission.
Power transmission line fault identification is critical for the safety and repair of a power grid. The majority of fault detection methods rely on current and voltage transformers to provide measurements of electrical quantities. Use a wireless medium, such as a zigbee Transmitter and Receiver, to send and receive data. In this article, a framework for detecting multiple faults is developed using a node MCU and an Arduino.
