Methods and systems for monitoring a brush holder assembly and/or detecting wear of a brush in a brush holder assembly are disclosed. One method includes sending data from a plurality of remote monitoring locations to a central control unit, where the data may be evaluated in order to monitor states of brushes at a plurality of remote electrical facilities. For example, multiple images of a marker tracking longitudinal movement of the brush may be acquired. A comparison of the images, for example, a comparative imaging technique, such as pixel-by-pixel comparison, may then be performed in order to evaluate a condition of the brush, such as the wear rate, wear state, or life expectancy of the brush.

L'invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes servant à contrôler un ensemble porte-balais et/ou à détecter l'usure d'un balai dans un ensemble porte-balais. Un procédé consiste à envoyer des données depuis plusieurs emplacements de contrôle éloignés vers une unité de commande centrale où les données peuvent être évaluées en vue de contrôler l'état des balais au niveau de plusieurs installations électriques éloignées. Par exemple, plusieurs images d'un marqueur suivant le mouvement longitudinal du balai peuvent être acquises. Une comparaison des images, utilisant notamment une technique d'imagerie comparative telle qu'une comparaison pixel-par-pixel, peut ensuite être effectuée afin d'évaluer un critère d'appréciation du balai, tel que le rythme d'usure, l'état d'usure ou la durée de vie du balai.
