Online Condition Monitoring of High-Voltage Overhead Power Lines

By: Prashanth G R USN : 2BV09EE039

Need for Online Condition Monitoring

Sag of High-Voltage OH power lines may limit the

operability of power lines. Heavy loads due to icing or vibrations excited by the wind streams increase the risk of line breakage.

Harvester Prototype
It comprises of tube with a diameter of 30cm &

length 50cm. It is mandatory to eliminate sharp edges to avoid partial discharge. Donut-shaped objects are placed at the ends of the tubes.

Communication to a Control Station

System Requirements:
It should collect data autonomously. It should provide the comprehensive view of

supervised line. Approaches for establishing communication link between monitoring system and control station: 1. Use of conductor for wire bound communication . (Outdated) 2. Wireless Communication system. (Present System)
