This article presents a real-time prototype of a water level monitor and wide area early flood warning. The prototype consists of two systems: the first is designed to provide real-time display and alarm alerts on a lab view program; the second is designed to measure water levels and display results via applications on a smartphone in real-time using the Blynk application, as well as to alert users of impending floods via the LINE application using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The target user in this research study is Sado Phong Community, Khao Kho District, Phetchabun Province. This case study was designed for a stream with a water depth of 200 cm and a three-tiered alarm system: 140 cm, 150 cm and 170 cm of water height. The study results showed that when simulating each set level increase, the prototype could display real-time water level changes and give an alarm in both systems. The error value of the meter for the system displayed in the lab view was ± 1.11%. In comparison, the error value for the system displayed via an application on a smartphone for ultrasonic sensor 1 was ± 0.60% and ultrasonic sensor 2 was ± 0.80%, including the ability to notify a group of community members via the LINE application.

This paper presents a novel transmission line's Availability Transfer Capability (ATC) assessment method by considering the Generation Dispatch Limit (GDL) and renewable generation capacity. This method has calculated the power remaining from the Total Transfer Capability (TTC). The TTC in this study is the total generation available declaration of all maximum Generation Shift Factor (GSF) generations to transfer power on transmission line depended on the Power Purchase Agreement of each power generation and of each renewable generation integrated in the system. The maximum GSF generations are defined by using the power sensitivity analysis. Results of this novel method are compared with the traditional transmission line's thermal limit method. Main findings showed that newly proposed method for ATC calculation can be used for the ATC assessment of transmission line and can be a good predictive index to protect power system's voltage stability issue. Moreover, it can be applied to the congestion management scheme with the optimal primary respond generation to control the stability of power transfer on the transmission line.
