Abstract
Temperatures of the FD Fan bearings in steam power plants can be
monitored either remotely from the Control Room or by directly observing them
in the field. The notion of utilizing Thingspeak as a foundation for an
application has developed into a means of facilitating communication and collaboration
between individuals and machinery. This is done to enhance the effectiveness
and efficiency of the current situation. This research project aims to design a
monitoring system that utilizes Arduino, an MLX90614 infrared sensor, and a
wifi module. The objective of this system is to facilitate the monitoring of
the temperature of the FD Fan in a steam power plant. This is achieved by
utilizing a laptop computer that is connected to the internet network and
operates on the Thingspeak platform. The approach employed involves data
processing and analysis, utilizing the findings from field research as well as
existing literature and concepts. The equipment is placed on the bearing
surface, and the sensor measurements are acquired within a duration of 18
minutes and 11 seconds. Data is transmitted to the laptop device at regular
intervals of 16 seconds. Therefore, a grand total of sixty data points were
transferred, an average value for the temperature of the bearing was measured,
and the findings were sent to the laptop. By harnessing the power of the
internet network, the findings indicate that the system can effectively
transfer data to the laptop instantaneously.
