Chaplin: Long Range Ultrasonic Inspection of High Voltage Transmission Lines
European Union 7th Framework Program project
2013 – 2014
Brunel University, TWI, Innora, Albatroz, DTK Electronics, Dasel
Development of ultrasound-guided wave inspection system hardware and signal processing software for defect detection on high voltage power lines. First to develop an accurate model of the ultrasonic wave propagation in these cables. Dispersion compensation was used to detect defects up to 120 meters along the cable from the transducer array.
