3. Objective:
• To detect the various factors that
cause the faults in the underground
cables before the occurrence of the
fault and monitor them by using a
mobile robot.

4. Introduction
• Monitoring of electric power system in real time for
reliability, aging status, and presence of incipient faults
requires distributed and centralized processing of large
amount of data form distributed sensor network.
• Monitoring is justified by the reduction of fault occurrence of
electric power ,damage to the equipment, emergency
equipment replacement cost.
• Economically effective maintenance and monitoring of
power system to ensure the high quality.

5. POWERSYSTEM
• An electric power system is a network of
electrical components used to supply, transmit
and distribute electric power.
• There are various types of faults that occur in a
transmission lines due to various reasons and
they can be detected and monitored by various
maintenance methods.

6. Maintenance methods
Corrective maintenance method
Scheduled maintenance method
Condition-based maintenance method

7. Robotic monitoring
• In order to have effective monitoring and indication of the
occurrence of faults, mobile robot monitoring is the best
way.
• This type of monitoring is mostly used for underground
cables.

9. Description
 A robotic platform has been developed which
autonomously monitors the network structure of
underground cables.
This type of robot is generally called as “CRUISER”
CR- crawling
U-underground
I-Inspection
S-search and
E-exploration
R- Robot

12. Types of sensors:
• Video camera
• Acoustic sensor
• Infrared sensor
• Fringing electric field sensor

13. Advantages:
It is used to high voltage transmission lines
High maintence
 More Reliability

14. Conclusion:
Robotic maintenance can prevent cable failures
effectively. The main purpose of this multi-sensor
system is to monitor the aging status, water uptake, and
incipient faults in electrical insulation.
