Micromem Demonstrates UAV Installation of Power Line Monitoring Mounting System
March 04 2015 - 10:57AM
Micromem Technologies Inc. ("Micromem") ("the Company") (CSE:MRM)
(OTCQX:MMTIF) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Micromem Applied
Sensor Technologies Inc. (MAST), is pleased to announce that it has
successfully demonstrated the installation of the mounting system
that will be used to house its patent pending Power Line Condition
Monitoring sensor suite using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The
sensor platform incorporates 14 MEMS sensors, scavenges power from
the catenary using patent pending techniques, automatically
establishes a mesh communication network upon installation and
weighs less than two pounds. The system is fully operational upon
installation. This is another example of smart infrastructure that
will provide wireless real time communication of the status of the
power lines to a central station.
The test was done on power lines adjacent to the Vandenberg Air
Force bases in California. A video of the installation is being
prepared and will be added to the website. The test established
that Micromem can install approximately 20 units per hour. The
trademark and patent pending "clam shell" being used is the actual
size and weight of the housing unit and was manufactured by using a
3D printer. See illustration of the "clam shell"
below.
The ability to use a UAV virtually eliminates the cost and time
involved in the installation of these types of devices particularly
over long distances and terrain that is difficult to access. This
demonstration will allow Micromem, in conjunction with its utility
partner, to begin installation for live testing of completed Power
Line Monitoring sensor devices by July 2015.
