Wireless network smart grids for continuous power supply and monitoring

Abstract

Advent of electric power revolutionized the life of a civilized human. From the early dated discoveries of Nikola Tesla, Alessandro Volta to the latest applications of electricity has made it indispensable for our daily life. The wide-ranging applications of power have made ease of living. From greenland to brownland we are dealt with the utilization of the electricity. Power generation, transmission, distribution, and efficient utilization promote the progress of a nation. Power crisis which has been abating. India suffers large deficits which need to be overcome at the earliest. We see a lot of power outages and most of the time we never know the reason behind it. Even in the 21st century, the digital age, we should not be facing this problem. One of the reasons behind the shortfall of a proper power supply is the inefficient power monitoring ensued by breakdowns, repairs and maintenance work of power plants, transformers, and transmission lines. This project is designed as the one-time solution to monitor the outages in real time without the requirement of a meatware. A power monitoring system automatically analyzes and retrieves the power quality events. The monitoring system comprises of smart grids and a centralized workstation. Smart grids contribute towards sending data of power supply status to the workstation continuously. Based on the status drawn by the grids the workstations analyze the data and intimate the electricity boards about the power outages. Thus elimination of manual summoning the designated authorities by automatic monitoring acts as the core of the proposed project. The automatic switching to an alternative resource is done by the automatic phase selector. The smart grids also promote to increase efficiency and energy conservation. The gravity of the paper is power monitoring and shift to a secondary power resource in the absence of the primary. Power monitoring acts as a preventive measure to recover the huge deficits suffered by the power crisis.
