Design and Implementation of a Smart Indoor Substation Monitoring and Control System Based on IoT

In this modern age, everything is converting to smart systems where people want to be able to conveniently monitor and control processes. In this regard, indoor substation monitoring and control is also very important in the upcoming 4th generation automation system. In this paper, a prototype of an indoor substation system was developed that could be monitored and controlled from any location using a variety of sensors with the help of Internet of Things (IoT). In monitoring part, temperature, voltage, power factor and the load current through the relay can be remotely monitor. The system is also capable of operating automatically when any incident occurs. Additionally, how both monitoring and controlling operation can be accomplished was demonstrated through the use a mobile application. The design and implementation had been done in such a way that safety was prioritized, so that accident would not occur. By adding bunch of features, this project has been designed within a very low cost. Finally, all the initial goals have been achieved successfully.
