Online temperature monitoring
Online temperature monitoring
(OP)
Good evening everybody!
Looking for some inspiration.
We came up with ways and means to monitor the temperature of the energized components using wireless technology. It is easily retrofittable into the existing equipment.
We could monitor, for example, the switchgear connections that today could be checked only during the PM shutdowns or via IR scanning.
Do you see any value in this technology?

This is an interesting technology with many useful applications. There are two systems available now (1) the Valley Group and (2) EPRI. I have evaluated both and they both seem to be effective. Please write more details about your system.

Obviously, the major stumbling block is the high price, but once the cost comes down to. say, less than $3,000 per system, it might be worth the expense for the higher end systems.

We also plotted this information onto the actual load profile using the available power monitoring system
