Principle of Fiber Optic Asset Monitoring
分散型光ファイバーセンシング
分散型光ファイバーセンシング uses optical phenomena such as ラマン または ブリルアン散乱 to measure temperature or strain along the entire fiber. By launching a laser pulse and analyzing the backscattered light, the system obtains a 連続プロファイル of temperature or strain, with spatial resolution as fine as 1 meter over distances up to 40 km. This method is essential for monitoring long assets like underground cables and pipelines.
Fluorescence Fiber Point Temperature Sensing
蛍光ファイバーセンサー use rare-earth-doped fibers that emit characteristic fluorescent light when excited by a specific wavelength. の 蛍光寿命 or intensity changes with temperature, allowing for highly accurate, interference-free hot spot measurement. These sensors are installed at strategic points such as transformer windings, ケーブルジョイント, and generator stators for direct hot spot detection.
電力システムにおけるアプリケーション
