NSF PROJECT ECS-0601423: Power Line Sensor Nets for Enhancing Line Reliability and Utilization
نویسنده
چکیده
The proposed PLSN specifically targets the use of passive sensing techniques, focusing on monitoring and predicting the real-time dynamic capacity of a specific span of a power line under present weather conditions by using computational intelligence technologies. An ancillary function is to detect the presence of incipient failures along overhead power lines via monitoring and characterizing the electromagnetic fields around overhead conductors.

متن کاملCatch per unit efforts and impacts of gears on fish abundance in an oxbow lake ecosystem in Eastern India
Background: Oxbow lakes are abundant in indigenous fishes, but they are subject to unsustainable fishing practices, potential overexploitation, and indiscriminate use of fine-meshed fishing gear. To quantify the catch per unit effort (CPUE) and impact of fishing gears on fish abundance, a survey was carried out in an oxbow lake in eastern India. Methods: The gear-wise CPUE for fish caught in...
متن کاملReliability studies on integrated GaAs power-sensor structures using pulsed electrical stress
The transmission line pulse method (TLP) is used to characterise the reliability of bolometric GaAs microwave power-sensors. Two degradation mechanisms are identified during the degradation process of the absorbing NiCr termination, in which the input power is converted into heat. Simulations and a material analysis have been performed in order to characterise the observed degradation mechanisms.

Insufficient electrical endurance of equipment and insulation failure against overvoltage is one of the most effective reasons for failure the power line. Lightening, switching or other disruptive parameters can cause line outage or distribution substation failure. There are different devices used to improve the safety, reliability, and power quality of the system. Surge arresters are one of t...
