Sensor-Ball system based on IEEE 1451 for monitoring the condition of power transmission lines

The energy industry is developing it safety methods so that it can prevent accidents, diagnose the conditions of power utilities and identify any problems that might arise. In other words, the industry is trying to increase the reliability of power utilities and improve the quality of power utilities by conducting monitoring and diagnosis tasks in real-time by building a sensor network in order to monitor the status of power utilities. This study has applied IEEE 1451, an interface standard of sensor network, for the diagnosis, information exchange and compatibility of the Sensor-Ball, which is a sensor unit that constructs a sensor network for the status monitoring of power transmission lines. In order to accomplish these objectives, we applied IEEE 1451.0 and IEEE 1451.5 to the Sensor-Ball, suggested a reference model, and represented the characteristic information of the Sensor-Ball by use of IEEE 1451 TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet). By constructing a Sensor-Ball system that has a connected sensor for measuring the atmospheric temperature and line slope, we have identified the operational status and sensor data of TEDS applied through a monitoring program.
