Problem:
No longer simply a back-up plan, critical power protection is an essential requirement of every business. If critical applications must be available at all times, without down-time, then Transformers are a vital part of the Smart Grid transmission and distribution system.
Hospitals, municipalities, ports, airports and other critical parts of our infrastructure depend on an uninteruptable power supply to provide critical, often life-saving services.
Distribution transformers is an electrical equipment to distribute power directly to low voltage users, its operation data is an important part of the whole distribution network basic data. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor its operation parameters and states.
Solution:
A solution to the above problem is to remotely monitor the status of the Transformers by transmitting data to a smart grid monitoring center server through a DTU or RTU directly.
Parameters that should be collected includes three-phase voltage, three-phase current, three-phase power(load), three-phase reactive power, three-phase unbalanced current, power factor, Harmonic, pulse table electric degrees and the temperature of the transformer, and so on, through monitoring the working condition of the transformer we can optimize the condition of the distribution network, and alarm when a failure occurs, clearing trouble in a timely manner to reduce outage time, reduce economic loss, reduce the inconvenience caused to users and improve the quality of power supply.
