DESIGN OF AUTONOMOUS PROTECTION SCHEME BASED ON LASER MESH FOR ROAD CROSSING & AGRICULTURE FARM CROSSING

Abstract

As overhead high-voltage lines are the most common choice for power transmission, but their planning, installation and Safety are often challenging tasks because of the surrounding public areas and of their importance as critical infrastructures. Many accidents have been observed regarding live conductor breakdown of over-head lines crossing roads and agriculture fields causing property and life damage. Laser technology has observed a great advancement over the last few decades. This technology is used for a wide range of applications including medical sciences, military, industrial manufacturing, security and much more. The idea is to provide a laser based smart system to detect such conditions and send failure & alert signal to control station. The developed system will be having LASER & LDR based sensor array to check minimum clearance for overhead conductor. In case of any abnormal condition the signal will be sent via GSM/Radio Frequency communication system. System is completely solar powered and universal to mount on different types of power distribution towers.
