Abstract
In our country Pakistan we are facing Electricity and Power Problems. Often there is Fluctuation of main supply that can damage our home appliances and other electricalEquipments. Also the overloading of transformers is normal problem and due to theImproper monitoring they can get damaged. This result in loss of supply of electricity and also loss of money spent on these transformers Our aim is to cover both of these problems and somehow we have presented aSolution. Our project entitled “GSM monitoring and Tap changing of a Transformer” canMonitor remote transformers including their Voltage Current and Power. It can alsoAct as a stabilizer for the load and changes taps of transformer according to mainSupply and load demand. Monitoring of transformer is done through GSM and is displayed on LCD. And wehave used TRIAC for switching of Taps of transformer.Our thesis further elaborates this solution step by step. This implementation has ahigh start up cost but the maintenance cost is very moderate and acceptable.Our project also solves the problem of stealing of transformer which is a major issueNowadays. We have installed an alarm to indicate the operator about the stealing ofTransformer.Although this project can bring revolution in power transmission and generationSystem of Pakistan but still there is a room of improvement like installment ofinfrared sensor with transformers for security cooling and heating of transformersbetter monitoring transformers with a technology better than GSM as sometimesGSM signals can cause problem in hilly areas Monitoring of each individual loadand much more We have just presented a concept and taken a step towards improvement of monitoring of transformers and fulfilling load requirements. And afterwards we have practically implemented this concept to present a model. There can be much improvement in this as improvement is nature.
