MONITORING SYSTEM OF COMPREHENSIVE LOW-VOLTAGE CAPACITOR CABINETS FROM CENTER THROUGH MOBILE NETWORK

Abstract

Monitoring low-voltage capacitor cabinets to determine the status and quality of capacitor banks, based on which there will be technical options to reduce power loss, improve capacitor life. At the low-voltage capacitor banks installed the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). This device connects to the monitoring center via mobile telecommunications network will make remote monitoring easy. Instant information on parameter values, statuses, operating statuses are updated in real time to the center, helping to reduce manpower for system operation, timely detection and troubleshooting. In this paper, the research team analyzes and selects and transmits methods to apply in remote capacitor bank monitoring system. The experiments we conducted in practical conditions have proved and affirmed the flexibility and effectiveness of that communication method.
