Abstract :
Industrial Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) used for supervising of high power transformer cooling system is presented in the paper. Due to the fact that in the thermal power plant where industrial prototype is installed is very noisy environment, a lot of problems should be solved in order to obtain high reliability and accuracy of the system. Results of the analysis presented in paper are obtained from the real thermal power plant where WSN system control cooling systems of 100MVA and 210MVA generator power transformers.
