Power Distribution Transformers Monitoring Based on Zigbee and Sensors Technology

The core of the electrical power system is power distributed transformer (PDT), which is vital for ensuring safe and reliable operation. The PDT monitoring in Iraqi quarters is implemented automated and informs the control center of the failed transformer by those who live there. This paper offers a suggested automated system for transformers of power distribution for Iraqi neighborhoods based on Zigbee and sensor technology. This paper included a study for different areas in Baghdad and Diyala, which would fit them into the appropriate Zigbee topology network including special cases of so-called PDT-friendly, long-lasting configuration along with streets and rivers.Work includes the analysis of the key configuration /topology parameters in order to find the most appropriately selected setup if multiple configurations can be implemented for the same quarter. The system suggested includes how PDT quarter parameters could be transmitted from the Zigbee Coordinator Device (ZCD) to the monitoring center within or outside the quarter. A monitoring screen was suggested and implemented in the monitoring center.
