The system consists of multiple smart wireless transformer sensor node, smart controlling station, smart transmission line sensor node, and smart wireless consumer sensor node. The proposed software module also incorporates different data aggregation algorithms needed for the different pathways of the electricity distribution system. This design incorporates effective solutions for problems faced by India¡¯s electricity distribution system such as power theft, and transmission line fault. The proposed architecture is designed for single phase electricity distribution system, and this design can be implemented for three phase system of electricity distribution with minor modifications. %K smart grid %K wireless sensor networks %K single phase system %K three phase system. %U http://www.ijctee.org/files/VOLUME2ISSUE2/IJCTEE_0412_20.pdf
