Description

The invention relates to systems for monitoring weather and the environment and monitoring the industrial situation in vast territories.

Known weather monitoring system according to the application of the Russian Federation No. 200111005, containing environmental monitoring sensors mounted on the airship. This project allows you to monitor the atmosphere and transmit information about fires, industrial disasters and natural phenomena such as storms, landslides, floods, tornadoes, etc. in sight from the airship. The project has a very high cost, because in order to cover the entire country with monitoring, several tens of thousands of airships are required.

Known environmental monitoring system according to the application of the Russian Federation for invention No. 2001129803, which contains meteorological equipment: sensors (detectors) installed on stationary and mobile posts. The disadvantage is the limited number of mobile posts, their high cost, high fuel and lubricants costs for moving mobile posts, the system does not monitor the sparsely populated territories of the country (the globe).

The task of creating the invention is to ensure maximum coverage of the territory by monitoring at minimum cost.

The solution to these problems was achieved due to the fact that the environmental monitoring system contains meteorological equipment with sensors and a meteorological center computer connected by a wireline connection, and differs in that the meteorological equipment is installed on power transmission towers, and a power transmission line suspended on the towers is used as a wire communication line Power line. A cellular communication system with cellular antennas and a receiving and transmitting device of a cellular station, which is connected through a modem to a power line, can be mounted on power transmission towers. The system may contain individual PCs connected via modems to the line of electricity consumers.

The invention is illustrated in figure 1 ... 3, where:

- figure 1 shows a diagram of a system,

- figure 2 is a diagram of meteorological equipment,

- figure 3 is a diagram of an individual consumer and supplier of meteorological information (individual PC).

The system contains a meteorological center 1 having a computer (electronic computer) 2, a receiving-transmitting device 3 with an antenna 4 connected to the modem, and a modem 5 is also connected to the output of the computer 2. In addition, the system contains meteorological equipment 6. Meteorological equipment 6 is mounted on power transmission towers , for example, after 20 ... 50 supports. Meteorological equipment 6 (Fig. 2) is equipped with a modem 7, to which a PC 8 (personal electronic computer) is connected, to which, in turn, sensors 10 are connected through a multi-channel ADC. These are pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed and etc. In addition, a video camera 11 can be connected to a personal computer 8 for monitoring technological and natural disasters. Meteorological equipment 6 cable 12 is connected to a power line 13, suspended on the poles of power lines 14 (Figure 1).

A modem 15 is mounted on the power line support 14, connected by a cable 16 on one side to a power line 13, and on the other hand by a cable 17 to a cellular transceiver 18, the cellular transceiver 18 is connected by a cable 19 to the antennas 20. The weather center 1 can additionally be connected by cable 21 to the transmission line 13. The system can also be activated by connecting cable 22 step-down transformers 23, to the outputs of which are connected the lines of consumers of electricity 24. To the output of the step-down Transformer 23 may also be connected to the receiving-transmitting unit 25 to the antenna 26. By electricity consumer lines 24 may be connected to individual consumers and suppliers meteorological information as the PC 27 (Figure 2). The composition of the PC 27 is usually standard: it is a modem 28, external or internal, system unit 29, monitor 30 and control device (s) 31: keyboard, mouse-type manipulator, etc. Perhaps the use of computers such as "Laptop", in this case, the composition of the equipment will be slightly different. Cell phones 33 may also be involved in the system.

When the system is operating, meteorological information and other information related to environmental monitoring is received from the sensors 10 (Fig. 2) to the multi-channel ADC 9, then to the PC 8 and through the modem 7 via cable 12 to the power line 13. From the power line 13 via cable 16 information is transmitted to the modem 15. Then, via cable 17 to the receiving and transmitting cellular communication device 18 and via cable 19 to the antenna of the cellular station 20. The same information can be transmitted through the line of the consumer of electricity 24. In addition, information from individual PCs 27 through the line will consume For electricity, 24 is supplied to a step-down transformer 23, the transmitter-receiver 25 to the antenna 26 and then to the cellular antenna 20. All information is collected in the computer 2 of the weather center 1, where it comes from the antenna 4, the transmitter-receiver 3 through a modem 5 through power lines 13. As a personal computer and computers, personal computers of the Pentium or Laptop type can be used, on which any operating system and standard programs and protocols for transmitting information over the Internet are installed.

The application of the invention will allow:

1. Monitor almost the entire electrified part of the country.

2. To carry out environmental monitoring at minimal cost, including without capital investments for the construction of expensive masts of a cellular communication system, through the use of existing mast poles of power lines, electric networks and personal computers of private individuals.

3. Reduce operating costs by fully automating monitoring.

4. To transmit and analyze not only weather information, but also information about technological or natural disasters, such as: fire, storm, tornado, earthquake, landslides, etc.

5. To apply for the power supply of meteorological and cellular communications equipment the electric power transmitted through power transmission lines.
