- 2. Contents: • Objective • Introduction • Maintenance methods • Design of robotic monitoring • Description • Flow chart of robotic platform • Advantages • conclusion
- 3. Objective: • To detect the various factors that cause the faults in the underground cables before the occurrence of the fault and monitor them by using a mobile robot.
- 4. Introduction • Monitoring of electric power system in real time for reliability, aging status, and presence of incipient faults requires distributed and centralized processing of large amount of data form distributed sensor network. • Monitoring is justified by the reduction of fault occurrence of electric power ,damage to the equipment, emergency equipment replacement cost. • Economically effective maintenance and monitoring of power system to ensure the high quality.
- 5. POWERSYSTEM • An electric power system is a network of electrical components used to supply, transmit and distribute electric power. • There are various types of faults that occur in a transmission lines due to various reasons and they can be detected and monitored by various maintenance methods.
- 6. Maintenance methods Corrective maintenance method Scheduled maintenance method Condition-based maintenance method
- 7. Robotic monitoring • In order to have effective monitoring and indication of the occurrence of faults, mobile robot monitoring is the best way. • This type of monitoring is mostly used for underground cables.
- 9. Description A robotic platform has been developed which autonomously monitors the network structure of underground cables. This type of robot is generally called as “CRUISER” CR- crawling U-underground I-Inspection S-search and E-exploration R- Robot
- 12. Types of sensors: • Video camera • Acoustic sensor • Infrared sensor • Fringing electric field sensor
- 13. Advantages: It is used to high voltage transmission lines High maintence More Reliability
- 14. Conclusion: Robotic maintenance can prevent cable failures effectively. The main purpose of this multi-sensor system is to monitor the aging status, water uptake, and incipient faults in electrical insulation.
