Abstract
A power transmission tower condition monitoring system includes a plurality of sensors configured to be positioned at a plurality of separate locations on the power transmission tower. The plurality of sensors includes at least one tilt sensor, at least one shock sensor, and at least one vibration sensor. One or more detectors are configured to receive intensity value data from the plurality of sensors. A computing device is coupled to the one or more detectors and includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The processor executes programmed instructions stored in the memory to receive the intensity value data from the one or more detectors. A current operational health for the power transmission tower is determined based on the received intensity value data. A method for monitoring a condition of a power transmission tower using the power transmission tower condition monitoring system is also disclosed.
