Burbo Offshore Windfarm - Distributed Temperature Monitoring of Long Distance Submarine Cables
Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) of long distance power cables is shown to provide valuable information for cable design optimisation and proper operation of wind farms. The long range sensing is enabled by using the Raman-OFDR (optical frequency domain reflectometry) technology in single-mode fibres. Raman-OFDR uses a modulated continuous wave laser for detection. The low peak power minimizes stimulated Raman-scattering in single-mode fibres making accurate temperature sensing over long distances feasible. |

Graz: Reliable Energy Supply for Graz, Austria
The new cable installation is one of the city’s main transmission lines and is heavily loaded. In order to optimize the transmission performance and to guarantee its secure reliability, the cable installation has been equipped with large scale cross-bonding systems at its sheath. In addition, by the help of the LIOS temperature monitoring system (DTS), the level of backup capacity can be assessed. |

Sao Paulo
Villa Formosa, Eletropaulo, Sao Paulo / Brazil
Real time determination of thermal conditions along power cable systems and phase-wires on overhead lines. Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) is a powerful tool that allows to accurately rate cables and transmission lines based on actual field conditions. It is especially valuable for dynamic current rating and the essential success factor of Smart Grid implementations. |
