Abstract

In smart-grid, power transmission monitoring and control is a key part. In a power system, power transmission capacity of a overhead transmission line is dependent on the sag of the line. Power transmission can be increased with the decrease in sag. Thus, real-time sag monitoring is required for effectively using the transmission lines for transferring power. In this paper, a simple, but yet effective millimeter wave (mmWave) based method for measurement of sag is proposed that only uses a single transmitter and a single transceiver. It is shown that based on the received power at the transceiver, sag can be calculated. Impact of different system parameters on the accuracy of the calculated sag is also investigated.
