Assessment Of Mechanical Health Of Transmission Line Through Wireless Sensor Technology

Presented By Harshith K. L. 4MC08EE014

Under the guidance of Dr. M.S. Raviprakasha Professor and Dean (Academics)

Introduction

The components of transmission line subjected to their limits of strength Failure could be sudden Result in Instability It could be progressive Current method to assess damage

Wireless Sensor Network

A novel Conceptual design Improves Observability

Installation of Sensors
Wireless Communication

Sensor Selection and Placement

Constructive Characteristics Utilization of

Acceleration Strain

Displacement
Temperature

Overview of the sensor placement

Architecture of Sensor Network

Wireless Communication b/w the towers is adopted Local Sensor Group Local Data and Communication Processor Sensors in the LSG and their corresponding LDCP Form the Layer 1 Interaction between the LDCPs form basis for Layer 2 Inter Support Communication and Collaboration Layer

Two layers model

Operating principle

LSP at one end initiates the data collection sweep Sender and receiver end address are included in message header First LDCP is instructed to process the message and broadcast it to next LDCP Sweep continues till it reaches the sub-station LSP at the other end Data collection sweep is triggered in opposite direction

Statuses of transmission line

Normal Suspicious

Imminent
Fault

Integrated power system security software

Performs the real-time assessment of the mechanical/electrical situation Collects the i. Electrical status data from EMS ii. Mechanical status data from WMSN Recommends action to system operator during fault

IPSS Output

Conclusions

WMSN can help operators take fast and appropriate decisions

Optimized maintenance practices can be achieved

Help maintenance engineers to optimally schedule preventive

maintenance
