2.Thermal Electric Power Plants
Use Case: Sea water surface temperature monitoring
— At intake and drain separately
— Difference between intake and drain
Challenges
— Existing system employs long wired cable with thermal sensor for temperature measurement.
— The wired cable often becomes damaged by waves.
Solutions
— Wireless temperature measurement
— High quality wireless communication was confirmed.
I Note: as the PER may increase due antenna direction changes on the
buoy, a repeater on me buoy is recommended
ISA100 Wireless Benefits
— Reduced maintenance costs by eliminating frequent
replacement of damaged cable.
— Robust communication with lower
packet error rates.
