As the electric grid transitions into a highly distributed and intelligent grid, electric utilities are becoming increasingly concerned with monitoring the health and performance of their distribution assets. As Internet of Things technologies and data analytics become inexpensive and ubiquitous, low-cost asset monitoring becomes more feasible. Moreover, using edge analytics, computations can be off-loaded to these intelligent sensors to report only actionable information to the cloud. This needs to be done in a highly distributed manner using non-intrusive sensors and device physics that seamlessly integrates with legacy infrastructure. Here, this paper reviews existing sensor based solutions, identifies t heir issues, proposes a novel solution by exploring the required attributes and proposes an approach for low-cost distribution transformer health monitoring.
