Development of a Low-Power Consumption Monitoring System for Tension Stringing Construction

In transmission line overhead construction, the poor durability of monitoring systems creates a problem for practical engineering implementation. This study established a mathematical model for data transmission patterns in monitoring systems through collected operational data, which calculates the optimal rotation frequency for information delivery by analyzing the proportional relationship between buffer queue length and actual input throughput within the monitoring dataset. The study also proposed an M/M/1/N/∞ queuing model, which is applicable to the data transmission of the monitoring system in transmission line overhead construction. The monitoring system was successfully applied in a 220kV line project in Guangdong Province with a total power consumption of 65% during three days of monitoring. The duration was improved by 2.5 times in comparison with the traditional monitoring system, which was greater than the construction period of a single tension-resistant section of the overhead line.
