Load Monitoring and Detection of Tampering in Power Lines Using Internet of Things (Iot)

Abstract

The term load monitoring depicts the monitoring and auditing the load consumption patterns in low voltage customer side. Since energy becoming the more concerned topic of the era the work for proper auditing is a required improvement to be made in today’s power system. The existing digital meters are up to accurate level of measuring data. Smart meters when compared to electro mechanical meters have to reduce man power and it should ensure capability of communicating with utility sector. Hence by using INTERNET OF THINGS, the technology of modern era and which is going to be well strengthened by forth coming 5G, there will be a successful load monitoring process. In this project the process of monitoring concentrates over the harmonics, excess loading of transformer especially in distribution side, power factor monitoring, voltage disturbances etc., Indeed the major part of the project is detection of tampering by establishing a summation algorithm between the power distributed from the transformer in distribution ends and the consumers. The power consumption and distributed data are retrieved from respective meters through and then fed to the monitoring page of electricity board. Tampering being one of the major hindrance to the electricity generation and distribution, this method of monitoring could detect any theft and immediate site inspection can resolve the issue. On the whole, monitoring the power consumption via internet of things ensures effective monitoring and detection of tampering in low voltage side of the power grid.
