High voltage power transmission lines have been to keep the proper dip for maintenance. Powerline dips at a random point are conventionally measured by the direct or indirect observation but it is not only unsafe but labor-intensive. Therefore in this study we applied the photogrammetric technique to remotely measure the powerline dips. Since it is not easy to extract conjugate points from linear powerlines, we exploited the epipolar lines acrossing the powerlines for 3D mapping of the powerlines and dip measurements. The vertical mapping accuracy estimated at two field-surveyed power line points was 15~16cm that are within 5% of deflection at the points and less than 3% of the powerline dip.

Powerline interference in bioelectric recordings is a common source of noise. IEF(Incremental Estimation Filter) has been used to eliminate powerline interferences in biosignals, especially in ECG(Electrocadiogram) signals. The constant incremental factor in the IEF filter, which affects the performance of noise rejection, is usually determined empirically or experimentally based on the input signals. This paper presents the design of neural network based IEF filter for time-varying control of the incremental factor. The proposed IEF filter is evaluated by applying to artificial signals as well as ECG signals of MIT-BIH database. For the relative comparison of noise-rejection performance, it is compared with adaptive noise canceler and conventional IEF filter. Simulation results show that the neural network based IEF filter outperforms these adaptive filters with respect to convergence speed and noise rejection is specific frequencies.

Currently the development of powerline communication technology has become possible due to the high-speed communications. But the communication lines used for power line communication, not wires carrying power wiring is because when sending high-frequency wireless communication system unintentionally be influenced. To compensate for these shortcomings by using notch filters to reduce interference has been studied. Wavelet-based OFDM on the other hand by the method has been used to reduce interference. Wavelet-based OFDM has been used in the existing powerline OFDM scheme using FFT instead of the general structure of the CMFB filters to generate a signal. By doing so, subtly signals per frequency band, cut it, is to realize how efficient highways. It brought a deep filter characteristics, a flexible notch filter can be achieved without an external circuit has an advantage. In this paper, Using Wavelet OFDM powerline communication system is designed and presented the results of simulations.

In this paper, a fire prevention system based on a broadband powerline communication (PLC) system is implemented and a demonstration experiment is carried out to prevent from or promptly dealing with possible fires within the nacelle of a wind turbine generator system (WTGS). For this purpose, an inductive coupler having satisfactory attenuation characteristic in the frequency region for high-speed PLC is also manufactured. It is confirmed that the implemented system can monitor the environmental change inside the nacelle in real time by transmitting various information obtained by the sensors such as temperature, flame, and smoke sensor installed in the nacelle and thermal image recorded by a thermal camera to the ground control center through the PLC system. Therefore, it is, considered that the implemented system will significantly improve the reliability of the fire monitoring and prevention system of the WTGS in conjunction with the existing safety system.

In this paper, inductive couplers realizing broadband powerline communication (PLC) are fabricated using Fe-based nanocrystalline alloy and their performance is analyzed. As a result of the field tests using the distribution automation system (DAS), the couplers achieve comparatively excellent data communication in the principal frequency band of broadband PLC although there is a difference in communication rate depending on the presence or absence of a branch. In addition, it has been confirmed that the communication speed is maintained for a real-time transmission even in a high current environment although there is a difference in the transmission rate depending on the distance. Hence, it is considered that the inductive couplers can be used as a core device to realize the intelligent power network by exploiting them for the monitoring and remote controlling of the power plant equipments for the DAS located in the inaccessible areas.

We propose an Power line communication, also known as Power line Digital Subscriber Line (PDSL), mains communication, power line telecom (PLT), or power line networking (PLN), or Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) are systems for carrying data on a conductor also used for electric power transmission. Power line communications can also be used to interconnect home computers, peripherals or other networked consumer peripherals. Specifications for power line home networking have been developed by a number of different companies within the framework of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance, the Universal Powerline Association and the HD-PLC Alliance.

The goal of this study is to implement a communication system that can monitor the status of the nacelle using the power cable itself, without the dedicated communication lines such as an UTP cable and optical fiber for the offshore wind turbine. An inductive coupling powerline communication system for a MW class offshore wind turbine was proposed and its communication performance was demonstrated. The inductive couplers was designed for operation at up to 500 A using a ferrite composite materials. Field test was carried out on the wind farms of Jeju island. Using the iperf communication test program, we have obtained more than 15 Mbps data transmission rate through the 100 m power cable that was installed between the nacelle and the bottom of the power converter. In the data transmission stability test for a week, there was no failure ever. The minimum transmission rate was 15 Mbps and the average data rate was about 20 Mbps. Next, we have installed an infrared camera inside the nacelle in order to measure the temperature distribution and variation of the nacelle. The real-time thermal image taken by the camera was successfully sent to the monitoring system without error.
