THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS IN THE EVALUATION OF ELECTRIC POWER QUALITY

Abstract

Thermal imaging cameras prove to be an effective diagnostic instruments in the electric power engineering. These cameras are used more and more frequently in taking touchless measurements of the state of electric power devices in transformer stations, distribution points, etc. On the basis of the received thermal images, it is possible to evaluate the condition of the devices which are located there. Are such images able to serve in the evaluation of the electrical energy quality at the given point of the electric power system? The answer proves to be in the affirmative. In the article, the principles and the results of measurements that have been taken with the thermal imaging camera are presented. The results are delivered as thermal images and their analysis is provided on the basis of the electric power quality at given points of the electric power system. The results, which have been achieved in a quick, touchless and overall inexpensive way, might be an indication to take further, more advanced measurements in the area of electric power quality.
