The Design of Power Equipment Monitoring System Based on Wireless Sensor Network
In order to prevent the power system from the failure, an amount of spatially distributed sensors to monitor working conditions of the power equipments are needed. Using the wire cable to transmit the monitoring data usually caused the inconveniences of installation, inspection and maintenance in traditional wire monitoring system. Based on analyzing the advantages of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and summarizing the key technologies of applying WSNs on monitoring the health of the electrical equipment of the power system, the new design of the power equipment temperature monitoring system based on wireless sensor network is developed in this paper. The new design has been proved to be effective to improve the flexibility, the real-time and the reliability of monitoring the health of power equipment system in practices.
