IoT-Based Three-Phase Power Failure Monitoring with SMS Alerts

In today’s highly interconnected world, maintaining a consistent and reliable power supply is crucial for both residential and industrial applications. Power failures can lead to significant disruptions, financial losses, and even safety hazards. Our innovative project, “IoT-Based Three-Phase Power Failure Monitoring with SMS Alerts,” offers a comprehensive solution to this problem. Utilizing the latest IoT technologies, we ensure real-time monitoring and immediate notification of power failures to help you take prompt action.

Key Components

ESP32: The Brain of the System

The ESP32 microcontroller serves as the main motherboard and Wi-Fi chip in our project. Known for its robust performance and versatile features, the ESP32 is the heart of our monitoring system, handling data processing, Wi-Fi communication, and control tasks.

Voltage Sensors: ZMPT101 (RYB)

To monitor the three phases (Red, Yellow, Blue) of the power supply, we use three ZMPT101 voltage sensors. These sensors are known for their accuracy and reliability in measuring AC voltage, ensuring that any fluctuations or failures in the power supply are detected instantly.

SIM800L: SMS Alert Module

The SIM800L GSM module is responsible for sending SMS alerts in case of a power failure. This module ensures that you receive real-time notifications on your mobile device, allowing you to respond quickly to any issues.

Indicator LED

An indicator LED provides a visual representation of the system’s status. It helps in quick diagnostics and ensures that the system is functioning correctly.

LCD Display: 16*2 with I2C Module

The 16*2 LCD with an I2C module displays real-time voltage readings for each phase. This easy-to-read display offers immediate insight into the current status of the power supply, making it convenient for on-site monitoring.

Power Supply: 5V 5A SMPS

A stable and reliable power supply is crucial for any electronic project. We use a 5V 5A SMPS to power the entire system, ensuring that all components operate efficiently without any interruptions.

Blynk IoT Platform

Blynk is the IoT platform we use to visualize data and control the system remotely. With the Blynk app, you can monitor the power status from anywhere in the world, receive alerts, and even control the system if needed.

How It Works

1. Voltage Sensing: The ZMPT101 voltage sensors continuously monitor the voltage levels of the three phases (RYB).
2. Data Processing: The ESP32 processes the voltage data and determines if there is a power failure or significant fluctuation.
3. Visual Indication: The indicator LED shows the system status. A change in the LED’s state indicates a power issue.
4. Real-Time Display: The 16*2 LCD with I2C module displays real-time voltage readings for easy on-site monitoring.
5. SMS Alerts: If a power failure is detected, the SIM800L module sends an SMS alert to the registered mobile number(s), ensuring you are informed immediately.
6. Remote Monitoring: Using the Blynk IoT platform, you can monitor the power status remotely, receive notifications, and control the system as needed.

Benefits

• Immediate Notifications: Real-time SMS alerts ensure that you are informed of power failures as soon as they occur.
• Remote Monitoring: Monitor and control your power supply from anywhere using the Blynk app.
• Reliable Data: Accurate voltage readings from ZMPT101 sensors provide reliable information about your power supply.
• Easy to Use: The system’s components, including the LCD display and indicator LED, make it easy to monitor and diagnose issues on-site.

Conclusion

Our IoT-based three-phase power failure monitoring system with SMS alerts is a robust and efficient solution for ensuring the reliability of your power supply. By integrating advanced components like the ESP32, ZMPT101 sensors, SIM800L module, and Blynk platform, we provide a comprehensive and user-friendly system that helps you stay informed and take prompt action in case of power failures. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial applications, this project ensures that you have the necessary tools to maintain a stable and uninterrupted power supply.
