  • Monitoring system of wind-induced motion or vibration in at least one overhead cable, in particular a conductor aerial cable of a transmission or distribution
    Patent number: 11237078
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a monitoring system of wind-induced motion or vibration in at least one overhead cable (102), in particular a conductor aerial cable (102) of a transmission or distribution electric line. The monitoring system comprises: at least three sensor nodes (104) adapted to be installed in positions different from each other on a first overhead cable (102) and configured for detecting the motion or vibration through a synchronous signal acquisition. Each of the at least three sensor nodes (104) comprises a respective triaxial accelerometer sensor (301) configured for acquiring a first node signal and a first processor (302) configured for identifying, in the first node signal, a maximum node amplitude and an associated node frequency through a spectral analysis of the first node signal.
