Power outages in power distribution systems are one of the main concerns of power distribution industries.Therefore, developing solutions that can predict the maintenance periods and prevent unwanted maintenance iscrucial in decreasing outage costs and improving system reliability. One of the methods to prevent outage costsis to monitor the efficiency of power equipment through calculating Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). This isa measurement that indicates how much of the distortion of the voltage or current is due to harmonics in thesignal. Having mass data of voltage, current and THD is crucial for the analysis of grid health and debuggingfailures. Sheridan College will collaborate with the industry partner to develop and test an IoT cloud-baseddevice to monitor malfunctions in power lines and prevent extra maintenance expenses.
