Communication mechanism for multi-dimension electric power transmission line monitoring network

Electric power transmission line is important electric power infrastructure, whose operation state is linked to the safety of the power grid. Every year a large number of transmission line accidents happened due to internal and external factors. As the development of the sensing technique, such as satellite remote sensing, wireless sensing, optical fiber sensing, it is possible to construct an electric power transmission line monitoring system with heterogenous sensing equipments. In this paper, we formulate the architecture of multi-dimension electric power transmission line monitoring. Data-centric protocol is proposed to implement the heterogenous data exchange. Through the establishment of multi-dimension electric power transmission line monitoring system, the power transmission line corridor wide area monitoring and power transmission line state monitoring can be achieved.
