As increasing the accident of Distribution Transformer (DT), we need to manage them efficiently. In this paper, we discusses with the possibility of the diagnostic technique for distribution transformer using relative ageing rate calculation in this paper. The relative ageing rate of the DT could be calculated from the measured top oil temperature, ambient temperature and load current. In order on apply the proposed diagnostic technique we developed an on line Monitoring and Diagnostic System (MDS) which has hardware and software part. Diagnostic device is developed to measure the state information of DT and to send them with R/F(radio frequency) communication. Host computer monitors and saves the receive data. The database is constructed from the data of distributed DT and it is used for estimating loss-of-life in the MDS.

This paper proposes on-line based a deterioration diagnosis pole transformers using various sensors such as thermistor, current transformer and potential transformer. We measured load current and temperature to diagnose pole transformer using R/F( radio frequency ) wireless data communication module. We represent the graphs of their feature. The result of this paper shows that the proposed device car be used as deterioration diagnosis device of pole transformers.

This paper proposes on-line based a deterioration diagnosis device for diagnosis pole transformers using tan$\delta$ and FFT(fast Fourier transform). We measured tan$\delta$ and temperature to diagnose pole transformer insulating oil, diagnostic results are processed by FFT. For measuring convenience, we use R/F(radio frequency) wireless data communication module operating by secondary voltage of pole transformer. We have voltage variation test and oil temperature variation test to prove usability of proposed diagnosis device. The result of this paper shows that the proposed device can be used as deterioration diagnosis device of pole transformers.

In this paper, a prototype tele-operative system with a mobile base was developed in order to automate cultivation of house melon. A man-machine interactive hybrid decision-making system via tele-operative task interface was proposed to overcome limitations of computer image recognition. Identifying house melon including position data from the field image was critical to automate cultivation. And it was not simple especially when melon is covered partly by leaves and stems. The developed system was composed of 5 major modules: (a) main remote monitoring and task control module, (b) wireless remote image acquisition and data transmission module, (c) three-wheel mobile base mounted with a 4 dof articulated type robot manipulator (d) exchangeable modular type end tools, and (e) melon storage module. The system was operated through the graphic user interface using touch screen monitor and wireless data communication among operator, computer, and machine. Once task was selected from the task control and monitoring module, the analog signal of the color image of the field was captured and transmitted to the host computer using R.F. module by wireless. A sequence of algorithms to identify location and size of a melon was performed based on the local image processing. Laboratory experiment showed the developed prototype system showed the practical feasibility of automating various cultivating tasks of house melon.
