Method and system for powerline length measurement

摘要

A method and system are provided for determining a length quantity of a power transmission line, which connects a first location with a second location. A first signal having a first carrier frequency is provided at the first location. The first signal is transmitted from the first location to the second location via the power transmission line. A second signal having a second frequency is provided at the second location. A first phase difference between the first signal and the second signal is measured at the second location, and the length quantity is calculated from the measured phase difference. In the system, a second receiver at the second location is configured to receive the first signal having the first carrier frequency from the first location. A frequency generator creates the second signal having the second frequency at the second location. The receiver includes a phase detection device configured to detect a first phase difference between the second frequency and the first carrier frequency at the second location.

1. A method for determining a length quantity of a power transmission line, wherein the power transmission line connects a first location with a second location, wherein the method comprises:
providing a first signal having a first carrier frequency at the first location; transmitting the first signal from the first location to the second location via the power transmission line; providing a second signal having a second frequency at the second location; measuring a first phase difference between the first signal and the second signal at the second location; and calculating, in a processor of a computer processing device, the length quantity from the measured first phase difference.
