1. IoT based transformer health monitoring system

Project Concept and Discussion

The primary objective of this electrical project ideas is to monitor distribution transformer health and send data to the IoT dashboard. Transformer Health parameters to be monitored in these projects are as follows :

Oil Level

Oil Quality

Temperature

Voltage level

Current level

Vibration Noise level

It monitors all the above parameter in real-time and showed on LCD display and it sends the same data to IOT dashboard through GPRS module. In case of over temperature, we start the fan in first stage, if temperature is still not in control then we disconnect the transformer form main supply. In case of low oil level, over voltage and over current, we disconnect the main supply to protect transformer.

2. Series Transformer-Based Solid State Fault Current Limiter

Project Objective and Discussion

The main aim of this power system based project is to limit the fault current and protect the grid elements from unwanted faults.

The proposed fault current limiter is capable of controlling the magnitude of fault current. The primary winding of an isolating transformer is connected to the line in series to regulate the fault current, and the secondary side is connected to a reactor, parallel to a solid-state bypass switch made of triac. By switching the triac, the fault current is reduced. Also, by this fault current limiter project, switching overvoltage is reduced significantly.

The proposed TBSSFCL can improve the power quality and due to its simple design, the cost of the project is comparatively low.

3. Design and implementation of Smart Energy Meter

Project Objective and Discussion

The main feature of Smart energy meters (SEM) is to send precise reading on a regular interval to utility (Electricity provider). So the bills will be accurate and labor cost is reduced using AMR (automatic meter reading).

If the consumer is unable to pay the electricity bill within billing time, the Electricity provider can remotely disconnect the supply of that consumer and after payment, the service continues to the consumer. In such situation no human intervention needed to cut power supply from the grid and again to reconnect their connection.

We added the smart mechanism to detect tampering attempt. When anyone try to open or temper the meter the a small switch will release and send alert to the utility.

If power quality of supply(such as overvoltage, undervoltage) is not in standard limit, then the customer devices can be protected by disconnecting and reconnecting to the mains power supply.

4. Solar Powered Vaccine Storage Refrigerator

Project Objective and Discussion

In many developing nations electricity is not available in remote places from the grid. This is a challenge which risks the sustainability of the cold chain of vaccines storage. The only choices available for several years to electrically powered refrigerators are kerosene and gas-driven refrigerators. they are also plagued by outages in gas supply, lower efficiency, poor temperature control and need regular servicing.

In stage 2 Traditional battery powered refrigerators are comes but they are worked on comparatively expensive battery, which have observed short life.

To overcome all this problems we are going to design this solar based electrical project which saves life of poor community in remotely located community.

6. Power Factor improvement with CSTL ( Capacitive Switching Transient Limiter)

Project Objective and Discussion

Inductive load account for 66.9 % (as of 2019) of electricity consumption, which leads to low power factor and higher losses in electricity distribution.

For efficient use of electricity in the industrial, residential and commercial sector it is essential to control power quality parameters such as voltage level, power factor etc.

The main objective of this electrical engineering project is to implement Static capacitor based power factor improvement to maintain reactive power in the grid. But this method has one limitation while switching, capacitor transient current surge occurs in a system that causes unwanted tripping.

To overcome this problem CSTL is also implemented in this project. This is one of the best power electronics projects for electrical engineers.

This is an novel design of 3 phase auto transformer. The design of three phase autotransformer by changing the

With this innovative linear core design, we have some important advantages over conventional design such as we can reduce the material costing, size, and inrush current slighltly efficiency.

Linear Autotransformer As compared to laminated E-I types lamination because of the lack of a residual gap in the magnetic path, toroidal transformers take higher inrush current, Toroidal core transformer needs higher labor cost of winding, costly equipment. In toroidal core, it is necessary to pass the entire length of a coil winding through the core aperture each time a single turn is added to the coil.

In this prototype work by using I lamination we are going to design linear autotransformer to improve the cooling, efficiency, to reduce labor cost and also to reduce inrush current.
