DISTRIBUTION LINES

Technical Field

The invention relates to communication system with external cable for energy distribution lines.

In particular, the invention relates to a communication system with external cable for energy distribution lines that allows the temperature to be measured not one by one but at the same time, in a large number of attachments, boxes and socket areas of a busbar energy distribution system.

Background of the Invention

Today, modular compact conductors called busbars are used in energy distribution systems. Each conductor, called busbar, is more preferred because it has high current carrying properties.

It is of great importance to continuously measure and monitor the temperatures in the joint and socket areas in the mentioned busbar systems with continuous energy flow. It is important for safety to detect overheating in a timely manner and to bring it under control before it causes larger malfunctions.

That's why it is necessary to examine the temperatures that occur in this energyflowing system. Persons in charge of previous controls manually control hundreds of points where temperature may occur, with a certain time cycle. In this way, difficulties arose at points where transportation was difficult or impossible.

Apart from this, since the thermal sensors in the hands of the people in charge can measure the outside temperature of the building, the actual temperature values cannot be reached. Apart from this, temperature increases can also be experienced instantaneously, as they can change depending on their causes.

In current applications, several types of temperature are read from electrical distribution systems and monitored for system safety. These are generally divided into two as wired systems and wireless systems.

In wired systems, a temperature reading sensor is placed at each point on the electrical distribution line where the temperature will be read, and all sensors are connected with appropriate cables to form the communication line.

In wireless systems, a sensor with a small antenna that can broadcast wirelessly is placed at each point to be monitored. Data is collected from these sensors via a special protocol and lines are monitored in this way.

In both systems, workloads such as using a large number of sensors, placing them firmly and correctly in the desired location, and transferring power to each of these sensors are carried out.

In addition, a structure with a high probability of error and high total system material cost, which takes a long time to set up, emerges.

As another application, handheld infrared cameras are used. With this camera, each desired additional point of the electricity distribution system is measured one by one. For this, each measurement point is visited and hundreds of measurements are made manually one by one. This method is also a method that takes a long time and reads different values when it is not measured in the appropriate angle and direction.

In current applications, the temperatures of the attachment, box and socket areas on the electrical distribution systems are manually made one by one with temperature measuring devices. Especially in busbar modules, only the outer body temperature can be measured with the devices. In the joint areas, the actual temperature cannot be measured since the joint cover cannot be removed under energy. In the box areas, since the boxes under energy cannot be opened, only the outside temperature of the box can be measured from the outside. In this system, since the sensors are located in regions where the temperature is maximum, real temperature values can be reached.

In the US patent application numbered US2012183915A1 in the literature, "Embodiments of the invention generally contemplate an apparatus and method for monitoring and controlling the temperature of a substrate during processing. One embodiment of the apparatus and method takes advantage of an infrared camera to obtain the temperature profile of multiple regions or the entire surface of the substrate and a system controller to calculate and coordinate in real time an optimized strategy for reducing any possible temperature non-uniformity found on the substrate during processing.” statements are included.

In the mentioned application, an infrared camera is used to measure the temperatures of the conductive bars in busbar systems.

Again in the literature, in the US patent application numbered US2017328783, "The application subject to the invention is directed to a structure for attaching a temperature detection element to a busbar that electrically connects the adjacent electrode terminals of the power storage elements. The busbar is laser welded to the electrode terminals of the power storage elements, which overlap and have positive and negative electrode terminals. The temperature detecting element includes a plate-like insert. The connection part is superimposed on the electrode terminals from one area to be laser welded to another busbar area and is connected to the busbar by laser welding.” statements are included.

In the mentioned application, a temperature detection element in the form of a plate is welded on the busbar by laser welding in order to measure the temperatures of the busbars.

Again, in the Chinese patent application numbered CN105698937A in the literature “ The embodiment of the invention discloses an infrared temperature-detecting device and method. The convex surface of a reflector with a convex surface faces a power device to be detected, and a lens of an infrared camera is movably arranged on the center line of the reflector with the convex surface, acquires mirror images on the convex surface of the reflector and forms mirror infrared images. A host computer connected with the infrared camera receives mirror infrared images from the infrared camera and gives off alarm information according to the mirror infrared images. In an actual temperature detection process, the reflector with the convex surface can capture the 360-degree panorama of the surrounding environment. Infrared temperature detection for a plurality of power devices can be carried out simultaneously, thereby effectively expanding the acquisition scope of infrared images and improving temperature detection efficiency for power devices. The host computer determines, on the real-time basis, whether the temperature of a power device is abnormal or not according to the mirror infrared images acquired by the infrared camera, and sends alarm information to remind technical personals for rapid process once the temperature is detected to be abnormal. The real-time performance is good.” statements are included.

In the aforementioned patent application, the infrared temperature detection device and method in busbars are disclosed.

Due to the reasons mentioned above, there was a need for communication system with external cable for energy distribution lines.

Purpose of the Invention

Based on this position of the technique, the aim of the invention is to present a communication system with external cable for energy distribution lines that eliminates the existing disadvantages.

Another aim of the invention is to present a system that can take the temperature value of the entire system instantly by scanning once a second, and thus prevent any potential problems. Another aim of the invention is to present a system that can be triggered by the necessary alarms since the installed system is modular.

Another aim of the invention is to present a system that can be added from the nearest sensor to the other sensor without specifying input and output sections, since it can be done by adding cables from end to end.

Another aim of the invention is to present a system that carries the energy of the cards on the cable.

Another aim of the invention is to provide a structure system that gains speed compared to wireless systems and prevents security gaps that may occur in wireless systems.

Detailed Description of the Invention

In this detailed explanation, the innovation that is the subject of the invention is only explained with examples that will not have any limiting effect for a better understanding of the subject.

The invention is a multi-temperature reading communication system that allows to measure in electrical distribution systems with conductive busbar (1.2), many additional modules (3), busbar module (1) and busbar module (1) in boxes (2) that provide energy from the line all or a part of the temperatures at the same time, not one by one characterized in that; comprises the temperature sensor (5), which is used to read the temperature value of the said conductive busbar (1 .2), and the cable (4) that transfers the temperature data to a gateway (5.1) by connecting the said temperature sensors (5) from the outside in series.

Figure - 1 shows a representative view of the communication system with external cable (4) for energy distribution lines that are the subject of the invention.

Figure - 2 shows a perspective view of the busbar module (1) in the communication system with external cable (4) for energy distribution lines that are the subject of the invention.

Figure - 3 shows a representative view of the sensor connection in the communication system with external cable (4) for energy distribution lines that are the subject of the invention.

Multiple temperature reading communication system for the busbar module (1), which includes the conductive busbar (1.2) located in the busbar module body (1.1), comprises main parts of the box (2) that provides energy from the busbar module (1) line, the additional module (3) that connects the said conductive busbars (1.2) mechanically and electrically, temperature sensor (5) for reading the temperature value of said conductive busbar (1 .2), a cable (4) that transmits temperature data to a gateway (5.1) by connecting said temperature sensors (5) from outside in series, scada (6), which is a data-based control and monitoring software that makes sense of the data received from the said gateway (5.1) and displays it on the screen and creates scenarios according to the situation.

Energy distribution systems known as busbars have a modular structure. Each busbar module (1) contains the busbar module body (1.1) and conductive busbars (1.2). While the said conductive busbars (1.2) provide energy transfer, the busbar module body (1.1) protects the conductive busbars (1.2).

Busbar modules (1) form long lines by connecting to each other with additional modules (3). The energies from the busbar line are also taken through the boxes (2).

With the system that is the subject of the invention, the temperature sensors (5) positioned in the materials that can create heat in the joints, sockets and boxes where heat can occur, give much sharper results than the measurements that can be made from outside the building. In addition, instantaneous temperature increases can be captured instantly on the temperature sensors (5).

The data accessed by the said temperature sensors (5) is completed by connecting the cables (4) with 2 inputs/outputs positioned on the temperature sensors (5), regardless of which one is the input and which one is the output, and the line is completed in series.

The line formed in this way transfers the information to the gateway (5.1) with a cable (4) at high speed. While the entire line measurement to be made manually may take days, with this system, temperature information on the entire line can be obtained in seconds.

Scenarios are created by interpreting the temperature data coming from the line with the SCADA (6) software. With these scenarios, since it is known where the temperature sensor (5) is located, it is possible to instantly inform the personnel in charge.
