Introduction

Monitoring and telemetry is, in this modern era, an essential need of industry and the public.
Industrial networks which are spread over wide areas require continuous monitoring and data
acquisition for proper working and control over the industrial processes. Fields involving
automation require to collect data from a distant place and appropriate control signals to
automate a process without human intervention.
Systems have not only revolutionized the control process by making the data readings extra
precise and quick but has also made systems more reliable thereby making it more efficient. By
mechanizing the monitoring process the cost of labor can also be reduced sufficiently which the
unique considerations. Data logging is another amazing feature that keeps record of previous
data measurements and can also provide trends and make predictions.
Transmission of power line data remotely has been unique key evolutions lately. Developers
have worked hard to handover these quantities wirelessly for remote monitoring and analysis.
The main drive for this exploration is to minimize human intervention as far as likely and
reducing infrastructure costs of wires and cables to transfer data to control centers or elsewhere.
Wireless transmission of power line data is mainly essential for
Power value observing
Wireless electricity consumption monitoring
The advantages to utility companies can be enormous. They can continuously monitor their
distribution systems- and be alerted in case of any alarms or faults in the system. It can also
monitor any overload situations and quality of power being delivered and thus can act
accordingly to improve on any issues. For consumers electricity consumption monitoring can
lead to not for personal benefits but also national benefits. Consumers sitting homes viewing
their energy ingesting of a daily base can analyze which appliances are consuming more and
when to cut on their consumption. This will save the cost as well energy. Countries having
shortfalls of power can utilize this advantage.
We are developing a SCADA based monitoring system capable of reading power line data. The
project will enable real-time monitoring of the power system under consideration. The purpose
of this project is not only facilitate the utility but it also has the room for consumer who can be
provided facility to be able to view their consumption on a daily base.
The key features we have developed in the project are:
Real time data acquisition hardware transferring load voltages and currents values to the
computer.
Display using Microsoft Visual Studio software.
Control of Frequency to demonstrate the control principle of control of parameters.
The key quantities that are load voltages and currents are being stepped down by accurate current
and potential transformers to be provide for the computer.
The two quantities are then explored and handled by the sophisticated Microsoft Visual Studio
software to display the following computations:
System Frequency
Voltage
Current
Power Factor
All the quantities and indicators are displayed on a front panel in MS Visual Studio. The
configuration is highly convenient as only a computer is required to implement this SCADA
system.
