1.4 Aims and Objectives
The aim of this project is to
design and construct a power line vandalism monitoring system using
electronic system that can monitor and report vandalism of the power
line. The objectives are to properly secure transmission power lines and
towers against vandalism, which would enable the PHCN to transmit
quality and reliable bulk power in a viable and efficient manner.
1.5 Significance of the Project
The
project is very significant for power line security and maintenance
access control. It provides security to installations that in most out
of sight areas. Other significant of the project are:
1. It
effectively monitors movement of these vandals when they cross their
boundary and alerts the power line operators and the people around since
it is also the duty of every citizen to protect and guard national
asset.
2. This project can be deactivated or reconfigured when
an authorized personal are present in the power transmission line zone.
3. The project can be used in any place around the world
4.
It secures utility facilities, transformers, substations, power plant
generation, transmission and distribution facilities located which at
the end of this project, the vandalism of PHCN properties will be
greatly reduced.
1.6 Scope of Project
The project detects when the power line cuts that is immediately the cable is disconnected, whether there is power or not.
Limitations and Suggestions for Further Developments
One of the major constraints to this project work is funding while its limitations and suggestion for developments are:-
·
The backup power supply of the project is battery. Batteries do not
last longer as result of excess power consumption so in the future it
will be better to use a standalone power supply system, (solar energy).
· The system did not have a television surveillance system to automatically record the activities of vandals.
· The project does not have a GPS or auto alert system by sms to alert the nearest security agency.
·
The project does not have a light dependent motion sensor which can
detect a vandal meters away before he starts operation.
