While the electricity power industry in the world
continues to grow, it also becomes more traceable and smart with the developing
technology. Naturally, the integration of these technologies into the
electrical power systems brings with an additional cost. Most of the time
producers and consumers struggle under the pressure of these additional costs
and try new products that will reduce the cost. In this sense, competitive
products in the market must be advantageous in terms of cost. In this study, an
original IoT based transformer monitoring system has been developed by using
open source software, modular and low cost components as an alternative to
studies in literature. Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller has been used as the
main component in the system. The system can acquire data from a wide variety of
sensors using internal and external transducers. And this data can be saved to
the cloud system synchronously with the memory card on the monitoring system. The developed monitoring system has been
utilized free and reliable platforms such as the ThingSpeak web interface and
PushingBox Notification application. The all test process of the developed
monitoring system has been carried out in the laboratory environment.
