Condition monitoring of substation and 33kv overhead transmission line utilizing ultrasonic detection / Armizan Muhammad

This project describes condition monitoring using Ultrasonic Detection failures of substations and 33kV Overhead Transmission Lines. It also describes a general outline of the analysis methods to determine component failure from the collected data of field measurement. Results obtained were from data collected at TNB Distribution Wilayah Metro Substation and 33kV Overhead Transmission Line linking Kelumpang and Sg. Tinggi. The main objective of this project is to monitor the system component of its "Electrical Characteristics" effectively in order to detect the component failures. Electrical characteristics means that the component insulations, insulators and component failures. Component failures mainly due to arcing, corona, and tracking. The component failures were identified by sound pattern that produced by CSI data analyzer. Then, data collected is simulated into fuzzy logic system to identify the failures. Recommendation was proposed so that proper action can be taken from the associated causes.
