Development of a power station unit in a distributed hybrid acquisition system of seismic and electrical methods based on NB-IoT

Feng Guo, Qisheng Zhang, and Shenghui Liu

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new type of power station unit with wireless data transmission capability. This work breaks the limitation that conventional equipment is unable to upload data directly to central unit. Based on that, a novel distributed geophysical data acquisition architecture is also proposed. Designs that realize functions including isolated high-power output, power management and monitoring, high-speed data transmission as well as high-precision clock synchronization etc. are introduced in this article. The prototype was packaged then, and a series of evaluation experiments were implemented to verify the key parameters of the instrument. Experiment results proved that the overall design of the instrument is feasible, and the key parameters outperforms the industry leading instrument LAUL-428. Due to the wireless networking strategy, the proposed instrument further realizes remote control and real-time data playback through the host computer software, making it suitable for joint geophysical exploration as well as microseismic monitoring. In a sense, a new birth was also given to the conventional seismic and electrical acquisition stations.

Short summary
We propose a new type of power station unit with wireless data transmission capability, which was not supported by same type of instrument in the market. Based on that, a novel distributed geophysical data acquisition architecture is also proposed. The proposed instrument loads more stations than industry leading LAUL-428, while providing additional wireless data transmission and NB-IoT remote control.
