Abstract

Smart grid concept promises a reliable and efficient supply of electricity. It recognizes the growing importance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Monitoring, communication and controlling are the main systems which can transform the conventional grid into the Smart Grid. A vivid study of components of the smart grid i.e. smart meter, ICT, Internet Protocol (IP) based hierarchies, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is completed. Smart phone based communication is drawing attention now days in Smart Grid environment because of the use of Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) technology and its real time interactivity. It is based on Client–Server communication. To initiate a point to point Client Server connection, the transmission control protocol (TCP) would be used. This paper includes a novice technique for locating single line to ground fault, and methodology to be applied for it. Fault location is calculated using the real time data obtained from 400 kV Jejuri substation. The length of the Bhigwan – Bilt Graphics line has been measured using Tauraus kit, and inferences are drawn.
