Internet Of Things (IOT) in Distribution grid using DSTATCOM

In view of the problem of low power factor in distribution lines the smart technology like Internet Of Things (IOT) is used for continuous monitoring of the system. Timely sending notification through wireless communication, alerts the grid users about power factor fluctuations. In this paper DSTATCOM is interfaced with IOT technology to improve power factor and real time monitoring of the distribution line. The software design for low power factor discrimination and communication module uses JAVA programming and integrated in MATLAB through calling procedure. The performance of the DSTATCOM with IOT is demonstrated using simulation results in MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The IOT module collects the data of low power factor and sends mail notification to the registered Gmail account.
