Development of IoT-Based Portable Power Quality Monitoring on Microgrids by Enhancing Protection Features

The need for small-scale renewable energy generation is predicted to increase. Distributed production, in general, can be more profitable due the cost of distribution and use storage, especially from microgrid. However, utility consumers face difficulties maintaining demand imbalance, frequent load-shedding, a drop power quality. To address this issue, portable quality meter protection based on Internet Things (IoT) low-voltage are proposed. proposed prototype has several advantages. First, procedure implementing IoT-based with features residential networks. Compared other devices, type advantages measurement, such as factor, frequency, harmonics. Second, an approach device parallel function network security This increases advantage monitoring loads connected grid. Third, perform IoT devices that provide notifications real-time. Fourth, experiment using microgrid combines LiFePO4 battery methanol get maximum benefit green energy. test results found model work reliably, where access done via website. smart consists voltage transformer, current microcontroller unit embedded communication module. existence affordable tools increase user’s opportunity gain profitability.
