Abstract:

Transformers are vital components in the electrical network, with the main function of changing the electrical voltage according to operational needs. Along with the development of technology, traditional monitoring methods using analog meters and manual readings are starting to be replaced by more sophisticated digital systems, such as the Internet of Things (IoT). Previous studies have developed various transformer monitoring methods by utilizing IoT, algorithms, and other approaches to improve accuracy and efficiency. However, further development is still needed to improve the efficiency of energy management in transformers. This study proposes the development of an IoT-based transformer monitoring system that uses LoRa (Long-Range) communication to transmit monitoring data. As a result, the LoRa Ebyte E32 DTU Module is able to transmit data in indoor and outdoor conditions with varying ranges. However, this test was only carried out at a height of 1 meter from the ground where in sending data, the height between points needs to be higher than 1 meter. Trial delivery with distance between units gradually from 150 meters to 2.5 kilometers.

I. Introduction

Transformer parameters are closely related to the reliability and smoothness of the system in operation[1]. Transformer operation failure is certainly very much avoided by routinely performing maintenance and monitoring transformer performance periodically[2]. One of the causes of transformer failure is a disturbance in the electric power system. Disturbances that occur include overloading, short circuit, overvoltage, harmonics, lightning surge, insulation oil leakage, and the condition of the transformer oil[3]-[5]. Important parameters voltage, electric current and frequency are also important parameters that need to be monitored carefully. Other parameters that also need to be considered and maintained are harmonics, power factor (PF), frequency, temperature, pressure inside the transformer, and K-factor[6], [7].
