Introduction
- This project involves the monitoring of Busbar temperatures. These are the main power supply rails, which consist of large pieces of copper.
- The temperature of these, and how it changes over time, can be an indication of errors that are arising in the system.
- The solution to this problem should involve a wireless way to measure the busbar's temperatures, be it by power harvesting, some form of passive sensor, or a sensor that can read the temperature from a distance away.
- Furthermore, the final product would keep temperature readings of the busbars over a long time, and be able to give warnings if temperatures begin to trend up.
- Temperature readings, both current and history, should be visible on connected screens and from an external monitoring software.
- The ambient temperatures should also be measured, from both internally and externally of the cabinet.
- Upon design, the product would be refined such that it could be sold as a commercial product and service.
- The current plan:
- To build a Raspberry Pi based system, utilizing IR sensors for the busbar, with regular ambient temperature sensors also connected.
- The Raspberry Pi will be able to interface with local screens, and additionally connect to an external server, which can generate alerts, and allow for remote monitoring of temperatures.
- This project is industry sponsored by Sage Automation, a division of SAGE Group
