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 electrical
Equipments. Also the overloading of transformers is normal problem and due to the
Improper 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 a
Solution. Our project entitled “GSM monitoring and Tap changing of a Transformer”can
Monitor remote transformers including their Voltage Current and Power. It can also
Act as a stabilizer for the load and changes taps of transformer according to main
Supply and load demand.
Monitoring of transformer is done through GSM and is displayed on LCD. And we
have used TRIAC for switching of Taps of transformer.
Our thesis further elaborates this solution step by step. This implementation has a
high 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 issue
Nowadays. We have installed an alarm to indicate the operator about the stealing of
Transformer.
Although this project can bring revolution in power transmission and generation
System of Pakistan but still there is a room of improvement like installment of
infrared sensor with transformers for security cooling and heating of transformers
better monitoring transformers with a technology better than GSM as sometimes
GSM signals can cause problem in hilly areasMonitoring of each individual load
and 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.
