Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Camosun College
$24,953.00
Identification of critical material properties that require sensor monitoring to pre-eminently detect failures within Lightweight Insulators
EF 2019-20
Résumé
The following project is a first time collaboration between Camosun College and ASAsoft. a Canadian company producing leading-edge electricity transmission and distribution technology. ASAsoft manufacturers products that seamlessly complement the existing electric infrastructure for utility, railways, and metropolitan transportation companies. The applied research goals for this project are as follows: creation of an economical sensor system that can be integrated into the fabrication of an electrical insulator to provide early detection of mechanical degradation and/or failure of the fibreglass core. Having such a sensing system will give ASAsoft, a significant competitive advantage nationally and internationally, as currently, no such system exists. There are three major components to this project: 1) Sensor Identification; (2) Sensor Selection; (3) Sensor Proof of Concept.
