Abstract:
Remote monitoring of electrical networks finds its utility in real-time acquisition of the available data from the existing network transformation points, globally collecting and specifically processing the data at power dispatcher level, as its main beneficiary. This implementation also provides important information for possible low and medium power network failure diagnosis, becoming a useful instrument in network data analysis. The paper exemplifies the utility of this approach through a specifically designed and implemented application. Data acquiring and transfer is assured by a hardware structure controlled through its own software application, particularly implemented for local processing and transfer of the sampled data. The information is provided to the higher hierarchical level using a specific MQTT protocol format. The software application was implemented and runs on power monitoring units installed in a distributed monitoring network for transformation points. Using such structures has improved the efficiency in consumption analysis for electrical networks, bringing easiness in real time identification for various failures in electrical network points.
