Abstract
Electrical transmission lines are generally exposed to harsh natural environment and leads to different types of failures including thundering, rain, lightning phenomena, flashover, and overheating. The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a step beyond the utilization of conventional SCADA by increasing the use of wireless technology and provides real-time data acquisition.
The objective of this paper is to design an Arduino connected to different sensors for monitoring and controlling transmission system problems. These sensors include PIR (Pyroelectric Infra-Red) sensor, relay for control, and wireless sensors for conductor galloping due to the wind, meteorology, and temperature. The IoT is applied by simulating circuit with different sensors to monitor and control possible technical failures.
