Abstract: A method is for mounting an object, such as a line sensor, to a power line. The method includes: i) suspending and tensioning at least two ropes between a physical ground and a power line; ii) coupling a rope robot with the at least two ropes in such a way that the rope robot can climb up and down the at least two ropes in operational use; iii) providing an object on the rope robot; iv) making the rope robot climb up to the power line to bring the object close to the power line; v) mounting the object to the power line with the rope robot, and vi) decoupling the rope robot from the object and making the rope robot climb down the at least two ropes. A rope robot is disclosed for carrying out this method.

Abstract: A system is for monitoring a power distribution network having mast constructions carrying at least one power line. The system has at least two smart modules, each being affixed to a respective mast construction and designed for wireless communication with each other for forming a main wireless communication network along the power line. The system has a sensor system affixed to a respective one of the mast constructions. The sensor system is designed for determining at least one quantity or event of the network and for communicating the quantity or event to a respective smart module, which are designed for communicating information associated with the quantity or event along the network, for being remotely monitored. The smart modules are placed outside the Live working and Vicinity zones in accordance with the EN50110-1 standard for power networks, and at least one sensor system is contained in each smart module itself.
