A necessidade \u00e9 a m\u00e3e da inven\u00e7\u00e3o, mas o nascimento dessas inven\u00e7\u00f5es muitas vezes ainda leva tempo.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Esse foi o caso na \u00faltima d\u00e9cada, quando a Hoosier Energy desenvolveu um m\u00e9todo para testar os indicadores de circuito com falha Horstmann que estava implementando em linhas de transmiss\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tudo come\u00e7ou com Lance Simpson, passou por um estagi\u00e1rio de ver\u00e3o e acabou nas m\u00e3os de Jason Burge.
\nAs origens remontam a 2015. Um piloto anterior foi arquivado, e os sensores Horstmann foram os pr\u00f3ximos.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Como engenheiro de comunica\u00e7\u00f5es na \u00e9poca, Simpson foi encarregado de testar o novo produto.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

"Inicialmente, montei algumas coisas na bancada de testes para garantir que esses produtos funcionassem como anunciado", disse ele. "Descobrimos que funcionavam e quer\u00edamos prosseguir com a instala\u00e7\u00e3o deles como parte do nosso pacote padr\u00e3o."<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Para testar os sensores sem causar falha na linha de transmiss\u00e3o, o dispositivo de Simpson foi usado.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

"Era um equipamento com uma apar\u00eancia muito triste", disse Simpson. "Nunca foi pensado para sair da minha mesa, mas saiu por necessidade, e depois pareceu ficar passando de um lado para o outro por v\u00e1rios anos."<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ap\u00f3s a COVID, os servi\u00e7os de engenharia retomaram o programa de est\u00e1gio, que estava inativo. Como gerente de projeto de sistemas de energia, Simpson tinha de tr\u00eas a cinco projetos pr\u00e1ticos para o estagi\u00e1rio Alex Malone, um dos quais era criar um conjunto de testes mais permanente e completo para os sensores de linha durante o ver\u00e3o de 2023.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

"Ele realmente teve que passar pelo processo de desenhar algo e depois tentar encontrar os componentes que se encaixariam no seu projeto", disse Simpson. "Houve muitas itera\u00e7\u00f5es, \u00e0s vezes as pe\u00e7as para o que foi projetado n\u00e3o estavam prontamente dispon\u00edveis."<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNo final do ver\u00e3o, ele construiu o que eu chamaria de vers\u00e3o beta do conjunto de testes.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Foi essa vers\u00e3o beta e o esquema que, um ano depois, chegaram \u00e0s m\u00e3os de Burge, um t\u00e9cnico de comunica\u00e7\u00f5es que trabalhou na Hoosier Energy por oito anos.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

Jason Burge, da Hoosier Energy, trabalha para conectar seu kit de teste de sensor de linha no Centro de Opera\u00e7\u00f5es de Distribui\u00e7\u00e3o de Energia.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cFoi uma quest\u00e3o de necessidade\u201d, disse Simpson. \u201cSimplesmente n\u00e3o tivemos muitos desses projetos envolvendo sensores de linha por um tempo, e depois eles come\u00e7aram a ganhar for\u00e7a novamente.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Burge encarou a oportunidade como um desafio, come\u00e7ando com um testador simples e monof\u00e1sico, seguido logo por um kit de teste bif\u00e1sico e trif\u00e1sico.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

"De alguma forma, me tornei o cara do sensor de linha Horstmann", disse ele. "O conjunto de teste era um problema que precisava de uma solu\u00e7\u00e3o permanente, e eu tinha tempo para trabalhar nele."<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Com experi\u00eancia em projetos caseiros, como suportes de baterias e configura\u00e7\u00f5es de r\u00e1dios port\u00e1teis como operador de r\u00e1dio amador, Burge se tornou o respons\u00e1vel pela fabrica\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ele pegou o kit de teste bruto e o colocou em um formato mais amig\u00e1vel ao usu\u00e1rio.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

"A superf\u00edcie de controle ficava em um peda\u00e7o de madeira, como uma t\u00e1bua de corte, e a fia\u00e7\u00e3o dos interruptores era toda da mesma cor", disse Burge. "Era dif\u00edcil solucionar o problema, e dava para perceber que foi montado em um tempo limitado."<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Burge conseguiu trabalhar com a Stansifer Radio Company em Bloomington para obter as pe\u00e7as necess\u00e1rias, com o tecn\u00f3logo de engenharia da Hoosier Energy, Jeff Sturgill, para elaborar um projeto e com a Accuracy Laser and Fabrication de Bedford para obter o ajuste certo.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

O projeto contava com um transformador CA vari\u00e1vel, conhecido como variac, que permitia o ajuste da tens\u00e3o. Essa tens\u00e3o podia ent\u00e3o ser amplificada por meio de loops na primeira vers\u00e3o, numa propor\u00e7\u00e3o de 10 para 1, o que significava que uma tens\u00e3o m\u00ednima poderia replicar o que os sensores experimentariam na linha. Uma vers\u00e3o posterior funciona numa propor\u00e7\u00e3o de 30 para 1, como explica Burge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cQuando voc\u00ea diminui a tens\u00e3o, voc\u00ea aumenta a corrente\u201d, disse ele. \u201cEnt\u00e3o, este conjunto de interruptores permite que voc\u00ea ligue resistores diferentes para a corrente de teste. Se voc\u00ea passar a corrente por um loop, qualquer corrente que voc\u00ea tenha \u00e9 multiplicada pelo n\u00famero de loops. Neste em particular, temos 30 espiras, ent\u00e3o isso significa que se voc\u00ea enviar dois amperes, eles se tornar\u00e3o 60 amperes \u2013 multiplique por 30.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Os modelos evolu\u00edram ao longo do inverno passado. O primeiro modelo exigia pe\u00e7as dif\u00edceis de encontrar, ent\u00e3o a segunda vers\u00e3o simplificou o processo de aquisi\u00e7\u00e3o para tornar as pe\u00e7as mais f\u00e1ceis de substituir.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ent\u00e3o surgiu a ideia, cortesia do coordenador de comunica\u00e7\u00e3o da \u00e1rea, Bryan Abel, para a vers\u00e3o trif\u00e1sica, a fim de acelerar o processo de testes realizando tr\u00eas etapas de uma s\u00f3 vez.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Os kits s\u00e3o guardados em estojos port\u00e1teis, o que significa que Burge teve que encaixar muita coisa em pouco espa\u00e7o.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFoi um pesadelo tentar encaixar tudo aquilo ali\u201d, disse ele.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

Os kits de teste do sensor de linha exigiam muitas pe\u00e7as para caber em um espa\u00e7o pequeno.<\/p><\/div>\n

As caixas permitem que eles viajem se e quando necess\u00e1rio, embora Burge possa testar os sensores no Centro de Opera\u00e7\u00f5es de Fornecimento de Energia antes de eles partirem para a instala\u00e7\u00e3o. O comissionamento inicial \u00e9 a tarefa principal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cUsaremos esses sensores sempre que construirmos uma instala\u00e7\u00e3o com os sensores da linha Horstmann\u201d, disse Burge. \u201cH\u00e1 um conjunto de 12 sensores que ser\u00e3o usados em Tell City com o projeto da subesta\u00e7\u00e3o, depois os interruptores de r\u00e1dio ser\u00e3o revisados e isso resultar\u00e1 em mais nove sensores.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ser capaz de testar os sensores com anteced\u00eancia n\u00e3o s\u00f3 permite que a Hoosier Energy verifique a precis\u00e3o dos sensores, mas tamb\u00e9m mapeie se os sensores certos foram colocados na linha certa.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

"Isso nos economiza muito tempo, mas, na verdade, o que economiza \u00e9 o tempo dos eletricistas", disse Burge. "\u00c9 dif\u00edcil imaginar como seria frustrante para um eletricista j\u00e1 ter arrumado o caminh\u00e3o, tirado as luvas e, de repente, descobrir que as fases B e C est\u00e3o trocadas \u2014 voc\u00ea precisa voltar l\u00e1 e mover os sensores."<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Isso tamb\u00e9m melhora a seguran\u00e7a porque cada vez que o balde sobe e desce, h\u00e1 um risco adicional, ent\u00e3o quanto menos, melhor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

"Jason realmente conseguiu levar isso para o pr\u00f3ximo n\u00edvel", disse Simpson sobre os kits de teste. "At\u00e9 mesmo sua primeira itera\u00e7\u00e3o foi excepcional, e ent\u00e3o ele voltou e fez alguns refinamentos adicionais."<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Esses refinamentos nasceram da necessidade, que certamente \u00e9 a m\u00e3e de uma inven\u00e7\u00e3o que est\u00e1 ajudando a Hoosier Energy a ser mais segura e eficiente.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A necessidade \u00e9 a m\u00e3e da inven\u00e7\u00e3o, mas o nascimento dessas inven\u00e7\u00f5es muitas vezes ainda leva tempo.
