The transmission line is a vital infrastructure in an electrical system, used for transferring electrical energy from power plants to consumers. The main networks of transmission lines, such as conductors and ground wires, are supported by steel lattice towers, and the entire energy system will be disrupted if the tower collapses.

 

Historically, transmission towers have collapsed under extreme loading conditions, such as strong winds, earthquakes, rain, ice storms, cable rupture, bolt loosening, and vibration. With high customer expectations about uptime, deploying a monitoring solution for   is essential.

 

Our remote monitoring solutions provides information on the condition of the transmission towers, helps energy operators detect imminent failure, identify its location, and undertake preventative maintenance. Typical parameters that we monitor are bolt loosening, inclination, waggle, vibration, and temperature.

 

Based on non-intrusive sensors, extremely low-power technology, long-life and replaceable internal batteries, and reliable wireless data transmission, our solutions are designed for easy installation and continuous operation without maintenance for years in harsh environment.

 

Data collected from all sensors installed on a transmission tower are transmitted to a remote monitoring system via a single wireless gateway.
