Wiring Route Decision for Large-sized Power Equipments Installation Work

Abstract

One of the most serious problems for carrying large-sized power equipments into a substation/power plant efficiently is to find a good wiring route for roller work which executed by putting each equipment on rollers and pulling it horizontally with a wire rope. As roller work is too complicate, we have no systematic study on wiring route decision ever before. So we leave this work in the hands of field overseers without any detailed study.
In this paper, we propose some simulation methods for wiring route decision, discuss how to put it to practical use, and then briefly describe visualization techniques. The proposed methods give a wiring route under the restriction of winch and hook positions, and reduce the number of times of changing pulley positions. The proposed wiring route decision method provides suitable environment in which the installation process can be examined sufficiently; efficient, economical installation works can be done in safe and quick.
