Abstract
This paper considers the implementation of an automated system for monitoring and controlling switching devices in remote-controlled stations. Switching-equipment breakdowns in the process of operation that cannot be quickly tracked without being at the location itself create a problem. The concept of a visual-inspection system for remote devices is developed. The system operates in the standalone mode without human intervention, allowing the dispatcher to visually monitor the condition of plants. The control zone covers the external condition of equipment and the heating parameters of its current-carrying parts. The visual-inspection system is designed to work with the telemetry and remote-signaling systems already installed at a plant. The proposed technology provides the power dispatcher with the complete information on a plant and allows the maintenance personnel to quickly respond to emergencies so as to prevent electricalequipment breakdown and accidents.
