Abstract :
A low-cost, free-standing, radiometric, partial discharge wireless sensor network (PD WSN) is described for application to real-time condition monitoring, asset management and operations optimization in the future smart grid. The proposed PD WSN uses a novel approach to PD location which obviates the need for synchronization between sensors thereby improving scalability. Progress in the development of several components for a prototype PD WSN is described.
