Identification of critical material properties that require sensor monitoring to pre-eminently detect failures within Lightweight Insulators

下面的项目是卡莫森学院和ASAsoft的首次合作。这是一家生产领先输配电技术的加拿大公司。ASAsoft生产的产品无缝地补充了公用事业、铁路和大都市运输公司现有的电力基础设施。该项目的应用研究目标如下：创建一种经济的传感器系统，该系统可以集成到电绝缘体的制造中，以提供早期检测机械退化和/或玻璃纤维芯的故障。拥有这样的传感系统将使ASAsoft在国内和国际上具有显著的竞争优势，因为目前还没有这样的系统存在。该项目有三个主要组成部分：1)传感器识别；(2)传感器选择；(3)传感器概念验证。

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.
