An Iot-Based Transmission Line Fault Monitoring System

Remote end users are served by transmission lines, which carry electrical energy from producing facilities. These lines are exposed to a variety of external factors, and failures could happen, leading end users to lose power and harming the power system. As an engineer responsible for power systems, his primary objective is to identify faults in transmission and distribution networks as quickly and efficiently as possible to safeguard equipment from damage. Before any significant damage takes place, rapid defect detection can aid in equipment protection. Finding the source of a defect is a laborious operation. The precise fault detection can assist service personnel in eradicating persistent defects and identifying the faults that occur frequently, hence lowering the likelihood of faults and shortening the duration of power outages. The purpose of this article is to identify a transmission line fault using ESP32 (Espressif32) and notify the concerned person using IoT to his mobile with Blynk application. The expected outcome was achieved with the designed Prototype model.
