Transformer Monitoring System - Group 8
The Transformer Monitoring System has the capability of monitoring an electrical transformer's voltage, current, temperature, and phase angle. The voltage, current, and temperature readings are obtained from capacitive, inductive, and temperature sensors, respectively, while the phase angle is calculated on the microcontroller. After being processed by the microcontroller, the values are wirelessly transmitted to a monitoring station that allows a user to view and edit transformer characteristics in a Google Maps environment, which also displays the location of the transformer.
This project was completed as necessary according the University of Central Florida's degree requirements for electrical and computer engineering students. A two semester course, Senior Design requires students to design and construct something using skills learned at the University. The Transformer Monitoring System was completed by Group 8 of the Spring and Summer 2011 semesters. Group 8 consists of Robert Howard, Charles Payne, Jonathan Rowe, and Bradley Tanner.
