Abstract

This paper proposes a new concept for monitoring the remote electrical parameters like voltage, current, oil temperature, oil level, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor of a remotely located distribution transformer and to transmit it over a communication network and these real time values are displayed using Virtual Instrumentation platform on the PC which is located at the Substation. In addition, it will protect the distribution transformers from various faults like over current and over voltage. Distribution transformers which are the critical components in power distribution systems are located on the feeders of the substation and monitoring of which is a long time need and there is no proper medium for it.

Keywords

Voltage, Current, Virtual Instrumentation, PC, Substation.
