Project Impact
Key metrics and achievements
Key Features
Fault Detection
Detects fault voltage on outdoor poles in real-time with high accuracy and sensitivity
Mobile App Alerts
Sends immediate notifications to K-Electric team via mobile app for instant awareness
Live Monitoring
Provides continuous monitoring of pole conditions with real-time data updates
Fault Magnitude
Displays fault magnitude and severity levels for prioritized response planning
Location Information
GPS-based location tracking for precise fault identification and navigation
Status Updates
Allows team members to update repair status and add comments for coordination
Technical Implementation
The system consists of IoT sensors installed on electrical poles that continuously monitor voltage levels. When a fault is detected, the sensor transmits data via wireless communication to a central server, which then sends alerts to the mobile application. The app provides detailed information including fault location, magnitude, and allows for status updates and team coordination.
Impact & Results
This system has significantly improved K-Electric's response time to electrical faults, reducing downtime and improving service reliability. The real-time monitoring and alert system has enabled proactive maintenance and faster resolution of power grid issues. The mobile app integration ensures that maintenance teams are immediately notified of faults, allowing for rapid dispatch and repair, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction and grid reliability.
