Network controller-based remote monitoring and control of power plants over the Internet

Internet-based monitoring brings new capabilities and unprecedented access to process power equipment monitoring and control. In this paper, we present an advanced network controller-based remote monitoring and control system for power plants, for example gas engine units. This advanced system processes and displays information, transmits it over the network, and sends control commands to remote equipment. This system is able to help lower cost of electric power generation, improve efficiency and reliability of a power plant and achieve its no-failure operation. We provide the detailed description of necessary equipment and describe all benefits of the mentioned system.

Remote Monitoring and Control for an Isolate Prototype Substation Model

The objective of this paper is to monitor the electrical parameters like voltage, current, etc., remotely and display all the obtained real time values for a substation isolate. This paper is furnished to assure the load and electrical system equipment by the activation of relay, whenever the acquired parameters exceed the predefined values. Generally, this Proposed system design makes use of microcontroller, but the prototype of this circuit modelled in Proteus and can be executed by using ATmega 168 microcontroller. When supply is given to the designed hardware, all the sensors start sensing their respective parameters i. e., voltage, current, temperature etc., and modernize all the values on the display. Comparison between the problem-solving time values and the preordained values is continuously carried out by the microcontroller, if any of these values go beyond the pre-defined values, it sends fault alert to the relay, updates it on the screen and sends the same as an SMS through GSM for the rectification.
