Transmission tower remote monitoring techniques

Abstract

Ever since the generation of electricity was made possible, the transmission and distribution of electric power has grown over vast lands and is in itself an amazing feat. This has spurred the growth of societies and industries the world over. Many of the electric power infrastructures in developing countries has been commissioned in the middle to the latter half of the 20th century. At the electricity transmission level, there are concerns about the aging effect on the infrastructure that is comprised of a network of cables over pylons or transmission towers and on whether that can hold for many more years.
