Monitoring Network for Smart Grid Using Smart Phone

This paper introduces a new approach to improve the power quality and reliability of power supply. The smart grid is used to measures the values for voltage, temperature, frequency in distribution side. A Smart grid is a technology which is used to monitor and collect the values from distribution side. The digital technology that allows for two-way communication between the utility and its customers, and the sensing along the transmission lines is what makes the grid smart. A smart grid is an intelligent, digitized electricity system providing an energy network that delivers electricity in an optimal way from source to consumption, enabling better energy management, minimizing power disruptions and transporting only the required amount of power. The microcontroller is communicating with Bluetooth server through the UART (serial communication) protocol. Bluetooth server is used to transfer the values from microcontroller to smart phone. The wireless connection is available between the Bluetooth server and smart phone while transmitting the values, if there is any problem occurs the reset button is used to reset the values. A buzzer is placed if any abnormal intrusion detected (over voltage and frequency), in distribution side. The power grids Consist of thousands of generators and substations linked across thousands of miles, in which the system's many components communicate among each other to improve the reliability and efficiency of electricity distribution.
