POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM MONITORING AND

CONTROL USING GSM MODEM

Power travels from the power plant to house through an amazing system called
the power distribution grid. For power to be useful in a home or business, it
comes off the transmission grid and is stepped-down to the distribution grid. This
may happen in several phases. The place where the conversion from
"transmission" to "distribution" occurs is in a power substation. It has
transformers that step transmission voltages (in the tens or hundreds of
thousands of volts range) down to distribution voltages (typically less than 10,000
volts). It has a "bus" that can split the distribution power off in multiple directions.
It often has circuit breakers and switches so that the substation can be
disconnected from the transmission grid or separate distribution lines can be
disconnected from the substation when necessary.

In this project, a slave transformer in the case of shares the load of master
transformer over load and over temperature. A sensor circuit is designed to log
the data from the master transformer and if it is found to be in over load
condition, immediately the slave transformer will be connected in parallel to the
master transformer and the load is shared. A GSM modem is connected to this
system, and it sends message to the predefined mobile number about
transformer switching data. The uniqueness of this project is, user also can
switch the slave transformer through his mobile.

This project uses regulated 5V, 750mA power supply. 7805 three terminal
voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is
used to rectify the ac out put of secondary of 230/12V step down transformer.
