ABSTRACT
Substation Automation is a key concept in Smart Grid Technology. The present work
proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) based system for the monitoring, visualization,
storage and analysis of sensor data in an easy, cost effective and reliable manner. MQ
Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol is used to communicate and transfer data
between different sensor nodes using Raspberry Pi 3 as the MQTT broker. The sensor
nodes are capable of wirelessly transferring the sensor data using an Arduino Uno and
ESP8266. The sensor data can be conveniently accessed by any device on the network
from the MQTT broker by subscribing to it. The given sensing system intends to
complement and enhance the capabilities of the present substation automation
environment. It incorporates the possibility of remote accessibility and better data
analysis of the sensor data in the Substation environment. An Arduino a part of the
ongoing implementation of the system which will be described in further works.
Novel electric power systems encompassing of power transmission and distribution grids
consist of copious number of distributed, autonomously managed, capital-intensive
assets. Such assets comprise: 1.) power plants, 2.) transmission lines, 3.) transformers,
and 4.) protection equipment. Electric utility substations are used in both the
transmission and distribution system and operate independently to generate the
electricity. A typical substation facility consists of a small building with a fence din yard
that contains transformers, switches, voltage regulators, and metering equipment that
are used to adjust voltages and monitor circuits. A reliable and efficient process of these
networks alone is not very significant when these electricity systems are pressed to their
parameters of its performance, but also under regular operating conditions.

INTRODUCTION
1.1. OVERVIEW
Electricity is an extremely handy and useful form of energy. It plays an ever-growing role in
our modern industrialized society. The electrical power systems are highly non-linear,
extremely huge and complex networks. Such electric power systems are unified for economic
benefits, increased reliability and operational advantages. They are one of the most significant
elements of both national and global infrastructure, and when these systems collapse it leads
to major direct and indirect impacts on the economy and national security. A power system
consists of components such as generators, lines, transformers, loads, switches and
compensators. However, a widely dispersed power sources and loads are the general
configuration of modern power systems. Electric power systems can be divided into twosub-
systems, namely, transmission systems and distribution systems. The main process of a
transmission system is to transfer electric power from electric generators to customer area,
whereas a distribution system provides an ultimate link between high voltage transmission
systems and consumer services. In other words, the power is distributed to different customers
from the distribution system through feeders, distributors and service mains. Supplying
electricity to consumers necessitates power generation, transmission, and distribution. Initially
electric power is generated by using electric generators such as: nuclear power generators,
thermal power generators and hydraulic power generators and then transmitted through
transmission systems using high voltage. Novel electric power systems encompassing of
power transmission and distribution grids consist of copious number of distributed,
autonomously managed, capital-intensive assets. Such assets comprise: 1.) power plants, 2.)
transmission lines, 3.) transformers, and 4.) protection equipment. Electric utility substations
are used in both the transmission and distribution system and operate independently to
generate the electricity. It plays an ever-growing role in our modern industrialized society. The
electrical power systems are the highly non-linear, extremely huge and complex network. In
the present scenario electricity still suffers from low power quality and blackouts so the
present work recommends a well-planned design approach for sensor management in
substation using IOT.

LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1. BACKGROUND STUDY
The purpose of this project is to acquire the remote electrical parameters like voltage, current
and frequency and send these real time values over GSM network using GSM modem/phone
along with temperature at power station. This project is also designed to protect the electrical
circuitry by operating a relay. This relay gets activated whenever the electrical parameters
exceed the predefined values. The relay can be used to switch off the main electrical supply.
User can send commands in the form of SMS messages to read the remote electrical
parameters. This system also can automatically send the real time electrical parameters
periodically (based on time settings) in the form of SMS. This system can be designed to send
SMS alerts whenever the relay trips or whenever the voltage or current exceeds the predefined
limits. This project makes use of a microcontroller. The controller can efficiently communicate
with the different sensors being used. The controller is provided with some internal memory
to hold the code. This memory is used to dump some set of assembly instructions into the
controller. And the functioning of the controller is dependent on these assembly instructions.
The controller is programmed using embedded c language.
substation will help the utility companies, by ensuring that their local-substation faults are
immediately realized and reported to their concerned departments via GSM, to ensure that
duration of power interruption is decreased. The measured parameters will be sending in the
form of SMS messages. The microcontroller will interact with the sensors installed at the local
substation and perform task as commanded. Electrical parameters like current, voltage will
be compared continuously to its rated value will help protect the distribution and power
transformer from burning due to overload, short circuit fault, over voltages and surges. Under
such conditions, entire unit is shut down via the control section comprising of relays sensing
it, and immediately turning the circuit breaker off. SMS alerts can also be generated to indicate
this. The use of GSM makes the substation intelligent in the sense that it is able to transmit
alerts and information and receive commands. This enables to reduce labor cost at substation
and saves time. Thus, the monitoring and working efficiency of the sub-station will drastically
increase.
AUTHOR: -This paper primarily addresses the subject of reducing outages or reducing the
outage duration, auto restoration applications for transmission substations, (where
“transmission” is defined as 69kV and higher), and the subject of proactively preventing
outages. This paper is a summary of the report of K3-WG for transmission systems. The
contribution of this paper includes presentation of the state-of-the-art, practical techniques and
measures for preventing and reducing outages in transmission substations which if properly
adopted can significantly improve transmission system reliability.

This paper introduces the application of state estimation to double bus double breaker
distribution substations, which are typically used in the Korean power system, to improve the
reliability of substation automation systems. In spite of the recent remarkable progress in the
field of sensors and equipment’s, it is hard to detect device malfunctions or degraded devices
automatically in the supervisory monitoring system. The object of the proposed system is not
the state estimation itself, but its application to the supervisory detection of the malfunction
or degradation of the devices. The supervisory monitoring process consists of a two-step
procedure—topology processing and normal state estimation. In a substation, the on-off states
of the circuit breakers determine the topology. This paper mainly presents the topology
processing expert system including the knowledge representation. The expert system is
operated with a predefined period to identify and correct topological errors in the distribution
substations. The proposed system is now in the field test stage in the Sanchung pilot substation
and it will be applied to the next generation substation automation system in Korea.

The ESP8266 is a low-cost Wi-Fi microchip with full TCP/IP stack and microcontroller capability
produced by manufacturer Espressif Systems in Shanghai, China.
The chip first came to the attention of western makers in August 2014 with the ESP-01 module, made
by a third-party manufacturer Ai-Thinker. This small module allows microcontrollers to connect to
a Wi-Fi network and make simple TCP/IP connections using Hayes-style commands. However, at
first there was almost no English-language documentation on the chip and the commands it accepted.
ESP8266EX offers a complete and self-contained WIFI networking solution; it can be used to host
the application or to offload WIFI networking functions from another application processor. When
ESP8266EX hosts the application, it boots up directly from an external flash. In has integrated cache
to improve the performance of the system in such applications.

FEATURES
LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. LCD is finding wide spread use replacing LEDs
(seven segment LEDs or other multi segment LEDs) because of the following reasons:
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is an electronic display module and find a wide range of
applications. A 16x2 LCD display is very basic module and is very commonly used in various
devices and circuits. A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there are
2 such lines.
FIG 4.4
A model described here is for its low price and great possibilities most frequently used in
practice. It is based on the HD44780 microcontroller (Hitachi) and can display messages in
two lines with 16 characters each. It displays all the alphabets, Greek letters, punctuation
marks, mathematical symbols etc. In addition, it is possible to display symbols that user makes
up on its own. Automatic shifting message on display (shift left and right), appearance of the
pointer, backlight etc. are considered as useful characteristics.
FEATURES:
ST7066 controller
Temperature sensors directly connected to microprocessor input and thus capable of direct
and reliable communication with microprocessors. The sensor unit can communicate
effectively with low-cost processors without the need of A/D converters.
An example for a temperature sensor is LM35. The LM35 series are precision integrated-
circuit temperature sensors, whose output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius
temperature. The LM35 is operates at -55˚ to +120˚C
Low self-heating
OPERATION OF LM35:
The LM35 can be connected easily in the same way as other integrated circuit temperature
sensors. It can be stuck or established to a surface and its temperature will be within around
the range of 0.01˚C of the surface temperature.
This presumes that the ambient air temperature is just about the same as the surface
temperature; if the air temperature were much higher or lower than the surface temperature,
the actual temperature of the LM35 die would be at an intermediate temperature between the
surface temperature and the air temperature.
The temperature sensors have well known applications in environmental and process
control and also in test, measurement and communications. A digital temperature is a sensor,
which provides 9-bit temperature readings. Digital temperature sensors offer excellent precise
accuracy, these are designed to read from 0°C to 70°C and it is possible to achieve ±0.5°C
accuracy. These sensors completely aligned with digital temperature readings in degree
Celsius.
FIG 4.5
4.5. RELAY
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to
mechanically operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid-state
relays. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a separate low-power
signal, or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal. The first relays were
used in long distance telegraph circuits as amplifiers: they repeated the signal coming in
from one circuit and re-transmitted it on another circuit. Relays were used extensively in
telephone exchanges and early computers to perform logical operations.
This module is based on resistance points pressure principle, and it can make the input
voltage of red terminal reduce 5 times of original voltage. The max Arduino analog input
voltage is 5 V, so the input voltage of this module should be not more than 5 V x 5 = 25 V (
if for 3.3 V system, the input voltage should be not more than 3.3 V x 5 = 16.5 V ).Because
the Arduino AVR chip have 10 bit AD, so this module simulation resolution is 0.00489 V (5
V / 1023), and the input voltage of this module should be more than 0.00489 V x 5 = 0.02445
V.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
7.1. CONCLUSION
The whole process is monitored by Arduino Uno microcontrollers. The graphically representation
of the parameters are done by IOT module to identify easily. Hence the distribution is made more
secure, reliable and efficient by means of the proposed system.
7.2. FUTURE SCOPE
In future we can monitored all parameter using online web server. This project can be implemented by
using GPRS technology so that capture data can be send anywhere in the world. We can turn it to a Smart
Energy Meter by which electricity parameters along with cost calculation can monitored by the user by GSM
or GPRS so they can minimize their electricity uses to optimum level. This project can be extended by using
GPRS technology, which helps in sending the monitored and controlled data to any place in the world. The
temperature controlling systems like coolant can also use in places where temperature level should be
maintained. By connecting wireless camera in industries, factories etc. we can see the entire equipment’s from
our personal computer only by using GPRS and GPS technology. The monitoring and controlling of the
devices can be done from the personal computer and we can use to handle so many situations. By connecting
temperature sensor, we can get the temperature of dangerous zones in industries and we can use personal
computer itself instead of sending human to there and facing problems at the field.
