ABSTRACT: A substation is a part of an electrical
generation, transmission, and distribution system. Early
electrical substations required manual switching or
adjustment of equipment, and manual collection of data
for load, energy consumption, and abnormal events. As
the complexity of distribution networks grew, it became
economically necessary to automate supervision and
control of substations from a centrally attended point, to
allow overall coordination in case of emergencies and to
reduce operating costs. Early efforts to remote control
substations used dedicated communication wires, often
run alongside power circuits. Power-line carrier,
microwave radio, fibre optic cables as well as dedicated
wired remote-control circuits have all been applied to
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) for
substations. The development of the microprocessor
made for an exponential increase in the number of points
that could be economically controlled and monitored.
Today, standardized communication protocols such as
DNP3, IEC 61850 and Modbus, to list a few, are used to
allow multiple intelligent electronic devices to
communicate with each other and supervisory control
centres. In this paper the various parameter for fault
identification and remote operation are performed with
the help of the IOT (Internet Of Things). A module of
sensors and transducers monitors the parameters and
also check for the healthiness of the system. The
implementation of this type of schemes will increase the
working efficiency of the system by continuously
monitoring the healthiness of parameters of the system
and also to identify the faulty part as well as the reason
of the fault in the system directly within a short period of
time.

I. INTRODUCTION
The aim of the electrical power system is to generate and
supply the power electric to the user. To construct and to
manage the energy to the utilization point, it must be had
reliability and economy. Since the power system
involved in the generation, transmission, distribution, it
needs protection to avoid damage to electrical
appliances and the Personal’s life. In electrical
engineering, the power system is one of the exclusive
fields which deal with shortest and the fastest time to
trip and isolate the faulty area in the power system so
that the fault does not affect the system directly. As a
result, the system remains their stability and reliability.
The essential elements of protection are sensors to
identify the fault condition and a device to initiate
tripping signal to the Circuit breaker. The protection
system must fulfil the requirements of rapidly and
automatically disconnect the faulty section of the power
network, and minimize disconnection or interruption of
power supply to the consumer. The ability of tripping for
circuit breakers are reliability, selectivity, sensitivity,
speed and stability.
Considering the Metro Rail System, the Receiving
substations (RSS) are the stations that receive the
electrical power from the grid. The electrical power
received here are in high voltage form i.e. 132kv or
220kv etc. In the receiving substation the voltage is
stepped down into 33kv or into any other required value
for the utility. Now this 33KV voltage is transmitted and
then stepped down further into 415v and is used for the
different utility. The process of stepping down the
voltage from 33kv into 415v is done in the Auxiliary
Substation (ASS).This RSS and ASS consists of the
various equipment such as incoming lines, outgoing
lines, transformers, post & string insulators, circuit-
breakers, isolators, earthing switches, surge arresters,
CTs, VTs, neutral grounding equipment, etc. To control
and monitor all this equipment a SCADA system is used
in the substations. The protection system employed in
these substations is for- overcurrent, earth fault current,
over voltage, under voltage, emergency tripping with the
help of emergency push button, etc. Here, our main
objective is to identify the type of fault and thus the exact
location with the reason of tripping of the breaker can be
identified.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
Significant efforts have been employed for the protection
and controlling of the substations from last two decades
and many techniques have been proposed. Thus, a brief
description with their advantages and disadvantages are
described in the section below.
