Summary: | Pilot cables serve as the most important and viable component in a differential protection
system. Maintaining the condition of the pilot cables ensures an optimal and undisrupted
electrical grid. Due to the prolonged usage and the natural external conditions that surrounds
the pilot cable, risk of damages in the cable are increased and fault detection should be promptly
executed. This report discusses the use of continuity testing and its integration into the
prototype together with various decision-making process taken to meet the requirements of the
prototype. Furthermore, with industries entering the 4th Industrial Revolution, the report
describes how Internet of Things can be incorporated into the prototype, aid in manpower needs,
and reduce the time taken for fault detection within the pilot cable. With the use of the new
Arduino Nano 33 IoT and cloud technology, the project showcases how integration with
various power electronic components can be achieved and be realized into a prototype through
a working 3D printed model.
With the final year project being an industry sponsored project collaborated with Singapore
Power, the prototype aims to allow the industry to optimize work efficiency by harnessing on
new technologies. |
