Energy distribution companies have experienced an increase in catastrophic failures in power systems due to the theft of grounding cable. The objective of this study is to develop an innovative technology which is able to detect the absence of grounding cable in medium and high voltage systems. The wireless technology developed communicates periodically with the system’s central control unit to ensure reliable and safe operation of the installation. Because it is not economically profitable to modify power systems’ infrastructure, this novel sensor is non-intrusive as well as self-supplying. Based on the validation step’s results, we conclude that the sensor is ready to be tested in smart grid equipment to monitor the state of grounding cables.

能源分配公司由于接地电缆被盗而经历了电力系统灾难性故障的增加。这项研究的目的是开发一种创新技术，该技术能够检测中压和高压系统中是否存在接地电缆。开发的无线技术会定期与系统的中央控制单元进行通信，以确保安装的可靠和安全操作。由于修改电力系统的基础架构在经济上不赚钱，因此这种新颖的传感器既非侵入式又自给自足。根据验证步骤的结果，我们得出结论，该传感器已准备好在智能电网设备中进行测试，以监视接地电缆的状态。
