| dc.description.abstract | Power system encounter losses such as commercial, non-technical and technical loses. These losses often create serious damages to the power system by reducing the quality of power that is deliverable to the customers. Distribution substations are the most accessible power substation to customers for the supply of electricity. These substations based on their packaging in Nigeria are susceptible to vandalism. This vandalism is becoming a daily occurrence because of high demands for copper and sale of transformer oil in the black market. To minimize the vandalism, this paper presents a development of distribution transformer substation anti-vandalism using dual-surveillance monitoring technique. The method involves a circuitry design that incorporate a PIR sensor to detect human presence in the vicinity of the transformer substation perimeter fencing, a buzzer to sound as an alarm, a GSM module to send out a call/message alerting the operator in charge and a video/camera for surveillance purpose. The system was configured to send video to a dedicated web server in real time when the sensors sense any human presence and also captures image on detection which is sent via email to the operators. A flowchart that illustrates the procedural steps was developed and presented. The device was tested and found perfectly working. | |
