Power line monitoring
Power transmission lines are the main assets of the power grid, including equipment and facilities such as insulation, connections, towers and power lines. Widespread in plains and mountains and exposed to natural environments such as wind, snow, rain and dew. Also, natural disasters such as floods and landslides can cause damage and the operating environment is quite harsh.
Due to the extent of these lines and its operational scope, it is not possible to patrol and control the health of these lines extensively. Therefore, online monitoring of the power line and its surroundings has become an urgent task.
Transmission line equipment management is an important part of the tasks of power companies. The quality of maintenance management has a great impact on line health, running performance and power supply reliability. Power line health monitoring is an advanced way to manage equipment and maintain it, which can significantly improve power supply reliability and economic benefits in overcoming overcrowding or equipment vandalism due to regular maintenance. It will bring a lot to the electricity system and the community.
Distributed fiber optic sensor is the most ideal real-time monitoring technology for high voltage lines. The Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing System (BOTDA) can monitor long-distance line surface temperature in real time, calculate the allowable load and current conducting temperature load, and provide a comprehensive and effective solution for error monitoring and load management. Ensure safety, improve asset utilization, identify potential breakdowns and maintenance.
