IOT based Design and Implementation of Power Quality Management System

Abstract

This paper introduces an Internet of Things (IoT) based approach for designing and implementing an Electric Power Quality Management System (EPQMS) using Arduino microcontrollers. With the growing complexity of power systems, ensuring high-quality electric power is essential for reliable operation. The proposed system integrates various sensors to monitor key parameters such as voltage, current, sudden phase failure & load imbalances. These sensors are interfaced with Arduino boards equipped with Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity for seamless data transmission. In this, power quality parameters are monitored and corrected them in order to experience the good power quality. Hence continuously monitor the power quality parameters such as voltage sag, voltage swell and voltage interruption and safe guard the electric appliances by improving the power quality. ARDUINO microcontroller is used for continuously senses the power line parameters and activates the desired compensation circuits in order to maintain good power quality. Also, the entire project is monitored through Internet of Things [IoT] platform. Through IoT connectivity, the PQMS enables remote access to power quality data, facilitating monitoring and management from any location with internet connectivity. The system can generate alerts and notifications in case of deviations from predefined quality standards, allowing for timely interventions to maintain optimal performance. The implementation of the EPQMS using Arduino offers a cost-effective and scalable solution suitable for a wide range of applications, from residential to industrial settings. By leveraging IoT technology, this system contributes to improving the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of electric power management
