Information Monitoring of Transmission Lines Based on Internet of Things Technology

Abstract

To solve the problem of difficult real-time monitoring of current transmission lines, this article proposes an information-based monitoring system for transmission lines based on Internet of Things technology. The system utilizes the characteristics of strong scalability, good fault tolerance, low power consumption, and low cost of the Internet of Things. Taking the ultra-low power consumption MSP430 microcontroller and CC2430 radio frequency module as the core, a line monitoring system based on the Internet of Things is designed. The proposed design uses ZigBee wireless sensor network technology which is powered by solar energy. The collection, transmission, processing and judgment of various environmental parameters of the line are realized. The data information is transferred to the monitoring center of the upper computer through GPRS. When there is an abnormality, it can send a mobile phone short message to the person in charge to feedback the abnormal content in time. The distribution network's load symmetry allowed for the development of several locating procedures. For the three-phase symmetric scheme, the fault location approach based on line supply characteristics was employed, and for the three-phase asymmetric scheme, the fault location technique based on line impedance is proposed. One of the most vital uses for the Internet of Things is in the mitigation of power transmission line failures and disasters. Improved power transmission dependability, less financial loss, and fewer power outages are all possible thanks to the Internet of Things' cutting-edge sensing and communication technology. This research introduced the use of IoT in online monitoring system of electricity transmission line with a focus on the characteristics of the construction and development of smart grid. The results indicated that the system's highest temperature difference is 0.31 C, while the maximum humidity difference is 1.38%. The system increases the safety and manageability of electricity transmission while also fostering the widespread adoption and technical integration of the smart grid and the Internet of Things.
