Review on Transmission Line Fault Detection System for Enhanced Grid Reliability
Abstract: Reliable and continuous power transmission is essential for the efficient functioning of modern electrical grids. However, transmission lines are frequently subjected to faults caused by environmental conditions, insulation failure, lightning, and human interference. These faults can lead to power outages, equipment damage, and safety hazards. This project proposes an advanced Transmission Line Fault Detection System integrated with IoT technology to enhance grid reliability and monitoring efficiency. The system utilizes voltage and current sensors connected to an Arduino-based controller to continuously monitor transmission parameters. When abnormal conditions are detected, an impedance-based algorithm is used to determine the type and location of the fault accurately. The integration of an IoT module, such as ESP8266, enables real-time data transmission to cloud platforms, allowing remote monitoring through mobile or web applications. Fault alerts are instantly sent to maintenance personnel, reducing response time and minimizing downtime. Additionally, the system provides local visualization through an LCD display. The proposed system not only improves fault detection accuracy but also enhances operational efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and supports predictive analysis through data logging, making it highly suitable for modern smart grid applications.
