This invention helps to detect the location, time, and status of lower shedding and power
cutoff in an area. Also, this system not only provides information only to the electricity
department but also to the people living in that area. The invention consists of a
microcontroller, light-emitting diode (LED), wireless fidelity (WiFi) module, global
positioning system (GPS) module, global system for mobile communication (GSM) module,
sound sensor, and a rechargeable battery.
During normal conditions, the LED will remain off. Once there will be any kind of
lower shedding and power cutoff the LED will blow off. As the LED will blow off the
photoresistor sensor attached with the microcontroller will sense the light of the LED. Once
the photoresistor will sense the light of the LED it will transfer the information to the
microcontroller. The microcontroller will then instruct the sound sensor to produce the sound.
The sound will be optimal it would not be too loud and too low. This will be helpful for the
electric man to identify the defective pole without checking every phase of every pole coming
to that area. Also, the microcontroller will use GPS, GSM, and WiFi modules to send the
geographic location of the poles to the electricity department along with the people living in
that area using the GSM module. The computer-generated email will be sent through the system
every twenty minutes to the electricity department. Once three emails would be sent to the
electricity department then an email will be sent to the head office stating the location, time,
and status of the electricity pole.
After the problem gets sought out from the electricity department the LED will again
get off and an acknowledgment email will be sent to the electricity department. This system
would not only help to detect the problem but the department can also have an account of the
problems raised in their area and how many were sought out by them in what amount of time.
Further, this can be added as one of the marking factors when evaluation of smart cities will be
done by the government institutions.
FIGURE 1: DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED INVENTION
Description of the Invention
Smart electric grid automatic lower shedding wireless detection system comprises of
various components as shown in figure 1:
1. The invented system (101) is positioned onto the transmission line. So that it can detect
the flow of electricity from one terminal to another terminal in the transmission line
with the help of LED (206).
2. Whenever any lower shedding or power cutoff will take place the LED (206) will blow.
The rechargeable battery (208) will help the system to work when there will be no
electricity. The photoresistor sensor (207) will detect the blow of the LED (206).
3. The photoresistor sensor (207) will send a message to the microcontroller (201). The
microcontroller (201) will instruct the sound sensor to produce sound (207).
4. The GPS sensor (203) will detect the geographic location of the pole. The GPS sensor
(203) will further provide this data to the microcontroller (201).
5. The microcontroller will share the location of the pole with the WiFi module (202). The
WiFi module (202) will then send the message to the electricity department of that area
along with the people who lived in that particular area.
6. If the problem is not identified in a given period then an alert message will be sent to
the head office of that electricity department with the help of the GSM module (204).
7. Once the problem has been solved an acknowledgment will be sent to the electricity
department using the WiFi module (202).
8. Further, the date, location, time, and status of the pole will be uploaded on the cloud
server with the help of the WiFi module (202). This will further help to evaluate the
performance of the electricity department along with proofs.
9. Once the system will be corrected the battery (208) can be again charged by using the
electricity flowing from the transmission lines which will further provide backup
whenever any problem arises next time.
