Design and Implementation of Wireless Sensor Network based Smart DC Grid for Smart Cities

Abstract

An effective improved intelligent Smart DC Micro-Grid for electrical power measurement control and monitor operations to detect the fault in transmission lines. Present power system is undergoing various issues. Because of these issues, there is a loss in power transmission. The present grid system is inefficient to handle these discrepancies. To overcome these discrepancies and other typical snags in power system, there is a requirement for smart and intelligent system. The main goal of the proposed research work to describe the role of advanced sensing systems in the electric grid of the future, a Smart DC Grid technology is to be introduce/embedded in power system. Smart DC Grid is the solution of most of the problems in the power system. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based technology Smart DC Grid incorporates effective solutions for multiple problems faced by electricity, it provide a reliable monitoring and fault detection system. Appropriate designed specific sensors were used to monitor the changes in transmission parameters such as voltage, current and power. Whenever fault occurred the data acquired were transmitted to the main hub via Zig-Bee module. With this system, power transmission fault can be detected in real time.
