Design and implementation of electical distribution line monitoring and controlling using wireless network

Abstract

As the electric transmission line is spread widely at long distance location is become difficult to monitor, control the power supply in the transmission line. Physical inspection at every location and troubleshooting is not feasible. Same problem is still facing at traffic monitor and control units as every square which are currently controlled manually by operator. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) provides access over remote location with centralized monitoring and controlling on different channels so it can be utilized for electric transmission line monitoring. While the WSNs are capable of cost efficient monitoring over vast geo locations, several technical challenges exist. Detection and location of faults on power transmission line is essential tothe protection and maintainance of a power system. At present system there is no monitoring system implemented in order to find out the distribution line fault.To overcome these problems in regional areas proposed system is designed to monitor and control the electric transmission line using WSN.
