The primary challenges involve integrating and calibrating the electronic components, including temperature sensors, LoRaWAN modules, and digital processors, to develop a robust system for analyzing loss points using thermal measurement techniques. The system employs activation by personalization for deploying sensor nodes, which simplifies the activation process and enhances network efficiency. The data collected is securely transmitted to a network server, then analyzed on an application server to identify loss points. This methodology aims to automate the analysis and detection of losses in medium and high voltage distribution networks, offering a technologically advanced, rapidly deployable, and cost-effective solution. Initial results demonstrate the system’s effectiveness in providing accurate and timely detection of loss points, contributing to improved network efficiency and sustainability.
