3. PREAMBLE TO DESCRIPTION
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IoT BASED SMART ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to system and method for electric power distribution, more particularly, Internet of Things (IoT) based smart electric power distribution.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Generally, a power plant generates electricity for transmission to one or more loads/end users (such as residences, business facility, charging station etc), though a transmission network. The transmission network comprises the distribution lines (e.g., overhead liens, underground lines) and distribution transformers, wherein the distribution transformers are arranged to modify a voltage of the transmitted electricity to the loads. A capacity of the distribution transformer is selected based on the power consumption of its users in a particular area. In case, the capacity of the distribution transformer is either low or high than the capacity of electric power supplies to its connected residences and associated power-consuming devices, the transformer eventually fails, which results in economical loss and other damages. Further, in case of the sudden spike in consumption of electricity by the loads, there will be sudden increase in load on the power distribution. Sudden increase in load on the distribution transformer results in an explosion, fire and loss of supply of electricity.
In recent past years, various transformer monitoring systems are implemented to monitor and measure peak load and transformer health. However, the statistics from power industry indicates that 80% of all plant and equipment (including distribution transformers) failures occur on a random basis and rest 20% of due to ageing of the equipment. This indicate that 80% failures have not been detected, hence was not prevented.
Therefore, in light of the foregoing discussion, there exists a need to develop a cost-effective system for efficient power management.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
The principal object of the present invention is to provide an efficient systems and methods for electric power distribution.
Another object of the present invention is to real time monitoring of load parameters and healthiness of the distribution transformers.
Another object of the present invention is to continuous rectification of power quality.
Another object of the present invention is to isolate the loads from the distribution transformers.
Another object of the present invention is to perform audits of the energy transmission from the distribution transformers.
Another object of the present invention is to alert the user/in charge of the distribution transformers, before the explosion, fire and loss of supply of electricity.
