According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Modern electrical distribution networks face significant challenges due to aging infrastructure, environmental disturbances, and the increasing integration of renewable energy sources. Traditional fault detection methods, such as manual inspection and centralized SCADA systems, often suffer from high latency and limited granularity This paper proposes a 5 real-time fault detection and classification framework leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) technology and machine learning. By deploying smart sensor nodes at critical points in the distribution network, electrical parameters-voltage, current, and temperature-are continuously monitored. The system 10 utilizes edge computing for rapid local analysis and the MQTT protocol for low-latency data transmission to a cloud-based dashboard. Experimental results indicate that the proposed system achieves over 98% accuracy in fault classification with a detection time of less than 20 ms, significantly improving grid reliability and minimizing downtime."
