EPRI Structure Tampering Security Monitor

What:

The Transmission Structure Security Monitor is an advanced device designed to enhance the security and stability of transmission line structures. It is is capable of detecting three critical conditions: the approach of an individual to the structure, any tampering with the structure, and the onset of structural leaning. By providing real-time alerts, it ensures that any potential threats or issues are promptly addressed.

How:

The monitor operates by utilizing radio frequency (RF) technology to monitor the area around the transmission structure. It employs motion detection and proximity sensors to identify when someone approaches. Vibration sensors and other tamper-detection technologies are used to detect any interference or tampering. Additionally, accelerometers or gyroscopes are integrated to monitor the structural integrity, detecting any signs of leaning or instability. These components work together to provide three distinct levels of alerts based on the severity of the detected issue.

Why:

The primary purpose of the Transmission Structure Security Monitor is to safeguard critical infrastructure. Transmission lines are vital for the distribution of electricity, and any damage or tampering can lead to significant disruptions. By using this asset, utility companies can ensure the continuous and safe operation of their transmission lines. It helps in preventing unauthorized access, detecting potential sabotage, and maintaining the structural health of the transmission towers, thereby ensuring a reliable power supply.
