The Water Temperature Sensor project for TNB Power Plant addresses the critical need for accurate sea water temperature measurement near the jetty. Measuring the temperature of the seawater plays a crucial role in optimizing cooling system efficiency, preventing equipment damage, ensuring environmental compliance, optimizing energy efficiency, and facilitating effective maintenance planning for the power plant. With our extensive experience in sensor technology and wireless communication, we develop a robust Water Temperature Sensor system. This system will provide TNB with accurate and real-time temperature measurements, enabling them to optimize their power plant operations effectively. By overcoming the challenges associated with seawater temperature monitoring, we are committed to supporting TNB’s mission of delivering reliable and sustainable electricity to Malaysia. Together, we will create a solution that ensures precise temperature monitoring, seamless data transmission, and enhanced operational efficiency for TNB Power Plant.

The project objective is to develop a water temperature sensing system for a TNB power plant. The system will utilize an RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) PT100 sensor to accurately measure the temperature of the seawater near the jetty. The measured temperature will be transmitted wirelessly to the main panel board located at a distance of approximately 60 meters. The system will also include a custom-made SS316 thermowell protection with a bracket to ensure the sensor’s durability and proper installation.

Dpstar has successfully implemented a comprehensive water temperature sensing system for TNB Power Plant. Our solution combines advanced technology, expertise in sensor systems, and wireless communication to deliver accurate and reliable temperature monitoring. Our system design:

  • RTD PT100 Sensor Installation: We carefully install the RTD PT100 sensor in the water near the power plant’s jetty. The sensor is positioned at an optimal depth to ensure accurate measurement of the seawater temperature.
  • Custom-made SS316 Thermowell Protection: To protect the sensor from the corrosive nature of the seawater, we design and install a custom-made SS316 thermowell protection. This protective enclosure, along with the bracket, safeguards the sensor from direct contact with the water while ensuring its accurate performance over time.
  • Temperature Measurement: The RTD PT100 sensor employs the principle of resistance to measure temperature. As the seawater comes into contact with the sensor, the resistance changes in response to the temperature variations. This change in resistance is precisely measured by the sensor to determine the water temperature.
  • Wireless Transmission: The temperature readings obtained from the RTD PT100 sensor are wirelessly transmitted to the main panel board. We utilize advanced wireless communication technology to ensure seamless and real-time transmission of temperature data. This wireless connectivity eliminates the need for complex wiring and simplifies the installation process.
  • Integration with the Main Panel Board: The main panel board, located approximately 60 meters away, receives the wireless temperature data transmitted from the sensor. The received data is seamlessly integrated into the power plant’s monitoring and control system. This integration allows for real-time monitoring, analysis, and control of the seawater temperature.

By implementing this water temperature sensing system, TNB Power Plant can efficiently monitor and control the temperature of the seawater near the jetty. The accurate and real-time temperature data provided by our system enables the power plant to make informed decisions, optimize operations, and ensure the longevity and optimal performance of its equipment. We are dedicated to delivering solutions that meet our client’s specific requirements and contribute to their operational success.
