India relies heavily on electric power systems for industrial as well as home utilization. Unfortunately, the electrical power distribution systems are inefficient causing wastage of about 30% during transmission from power plants to the end point. Our project revolves around the creation of a mobile device designed to move along the high power transmission lines continuously analyzing varying parameters including rate of power loss during transmission of energy from the power plants to the homes of the consumers. In case of any malfunctioning or abnormality, the device intimates the people responsible through IoT. Parameters like GPS, temperature and distance are measured and solar panel is used by coupling with battery making the device environment-friendly.
