Research and application of wireless temperature monitoring for transformer substation

As a very major part in the power grid, it is more and more important to monitor the temperature for the junctions of High Voltage Switchgear, Bus Connector, Outdoor Knife Switch and other important equipments in the Transformer Substation. In this article, based on the actual complex and changeable monitoring environment, we designed Temperature Monitoring System for the Transformer Substation, and expounded the structural design of the system, the hardware design of monitoring device, the process design of the system software, the choice and application of wireless communication protocols in the system, and the comparison and choice of three commonly used antenna. We also compared the Battery-powered and Induction-powered in the technical conditions in this stage, analyzed the actual performance of the two main power supply mode and gave the power design for the Temperature Monitoring System.
