Using MATLAB Simulink to Monitor Transformer Parameters

Abstract

An electrical distribution system's transformer is a critical component. As a result, it's critical to keep an eye on transformers for issues before they become a problem. The goal of this system is to develop and construct an embedded system to monitor and record critical distribution transformer data such as load currents, voltage, and temperature. It is located at the distribution transformer location, and the following parameters are captured using the embedded system's analogue to digital converter (ADC). The collected data is processed and saved in the system memory. If an irregularity or an emergency scenario happens, the system reacts quickly to prevent it. This technology will assist the transformers in running smoothly and detecting issues before they fail. The suggested system is low-cost and simple to operate, and it can monitor and display data using Matlab.
