O presente trabalho visa o desenvolvimento de um sistema de monitoramento de disjuntor voltado a coletar informações para manutenção preditiva. São analisadas as características das variáveis que são monitoradas através de sensores ligados ao disjuntor, sua aquisição e o tratamento das informações. Um protótipo foi desenvolvido e instalado na subestação de Sumaré 440kV de ETEO (Empresa de Transmissão de Energia do Oeste Paulista). Um assunto importante para a manutenção é a avaliação dos tempos envolvidos na movimentação dos contatos principais do disjuntor principalmente na operação de abertura do curto circuito. Para tal é proposto um sistema não intrusivo que analise a oscilografia das tensões e correntes no disjuntor sincronizado com as correntes no circuito de disparo deste equipamento. A Transformada de Fourier aplicada no sinal de corrente/tensão sem perturbação permite determinar o valor do componente fundamental desse sinal. Com esse valor pode-se gerar uma senóide que superposta com o sinal coletado pelo oscilógrafo permite visualizar a alteração. A Transformada Wavelet é realizada através de filtros decompondo-se o sinal de corrente ou tensão em Análise Multiresolução, em diferentes estágios obtendo-se em cada, uma versão chamada aproximação (baixas freqüências) e uma de detalhes (altas freqüências), sendo assim, os distúrbios podem ser detectados e localizados no tempo em função do seu conteúdo de freqüência. / The present work addresses the development of a circuit breaker monitoring system so as to collect information for predictive maintenance. The characteristics of the variables that are monitored through certain sensors linked to the circuit breaker, its acquisition and the treatment of the information, are analyzed. A prototype was developed and installed at the 440kV Sumaré substation of ETEO (Empresa de Transmissão de Energia do Oeste Paulista) a Brazilian Transmission Company. An important aspect for the maintenance is the evaluation of the times involved in the movement of the circuit breaker main contacts, mainly at the opening operation for example during a short circuit. On this respect, a non-intrusive system that analyzes the oscillography of both voltages and currents in the circuit breaker synchronized with the currents in the tripping circuit of this equipment is proposed. The Fourier Transform applied to the current or voltage signal with no disturbance allows to determine the value of the fundamental component of this signal. With that value, it can be generated a pure sine wave which when overlapped to the signal collected by the oscillograph allows to visualize alterations. The Wavelet Transform is realized through filters and decomposing the current or voltage signal through the Multiresolution Analysis at different levels, in this way, obtaining in each level, a version called approximation (low frequencies) and another with details (high frequencies), thus, the disturbances can be detected and located in the time and as a function of its frequency content.

This work concentrates on the application of diversity techniques and space time block coding for future high speed mobile wireless communications on multicarrier systems. At first, alternative multicarrier kernels robust for high speed doubly-selective fading channel are sought. They include the comparisons of discrete Fourier transform (DFT), fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) and wavelet transform (WT) multicarrier kernels. Different wavelet types, including the raised-cosine spectrum wavelets are implemented, evaluated and compared. From different wavelet families, orthogonal wavelets are isolated from detailed evaluations and comparisons as suitable for multicarrier applications. The three transforms are compared over a doubly-selective channel with the WT significantly outperforming all for high speed conditions up to 300 km/hr. Then, a new wavelet is constructed from an ideal filter approximation using established wavelet design algorithms to match any signal of interest; in this case under bandlimited criteria. The new wavelet showed better performance than other traditional orthogonal wavelets. To achieve MIMO communication, orthogonal space-time block coding, OSTBC, is evaluated next. First, the OSTBC is extended to assess the performance of the scheme over extended receiver diversity order. Again, with the extended diversity conditions, the OSTBC is implemented for a multicarrier system over a doubly-selective fading channel. The MIMO-OFDM systems (implemented using DFT and WT kernels) are evaluated for different operating frequencies, typical of LTE standard, with Doppler effects. It was found that, during high mobile speed, it is better to transmit OFDM signals using lower operating frequencies. The information theory for the 2-transmit antenna OSTBC does not support higher order implementation of multi-antenna systems, which is required for the future generation wireless communications systems. Instead of the OSTBC, the QO-STBC is usually deployed to support the design of higher order multi-antenna systems other than the 2-transmit antenna scheme. The performances of traditional QO-STBC methods are diminished by some off-diagonal (interference) terms such that the resulting system does not attain full diversity. Some methods for eliminating the interference terms have earlier been discussed. This work follows the construction of cyclic matrices with Hadamard matrix to derive QO-STBC codes construction which are N-times better than interference free QO-STBC, where N is the number of transmit antenna branches.
