Can fiber optic sensors improve situational awareness in power systems?

To support this, power system operators are leveraging data from an ever-expanding network of sensors. Due to their ability to measure several different physical parameters, fiber optic sensors are recognized as an important enabling technology and offer many interesting opportunities to improve situational awareness in power systems.

Can fiber optic sensors be used in power system applications?

However, existing studies and reviews of fiber optic sensors generally focus on specific existing power system applications (typically condition monitoring), and are written from the perspective of fiber optic technology, without full consideration of the needs of power system sector.

Are fiber optic sensors compatible with battery systems?

A reasonable matching is discussed between fiber optic sensors of different range capabilities with battery systems of three levels of scales, namely electric vehicle and heavy-duty electric truck battery packs, and grid-scale battery systems.

What are the most expensive components in a fiber optic sensing system?

Addressing this concern will require a critical assessment of the value of reduced incidents and predictive maintenance enabled by better data collection during operation [ 164 ]. The most expensive components are the light source and interrogator/spectrometer in a fiber optic sensing system.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of fiber optic technology?

Although different fiber optic technologies exist they share several common advantages in that they are: small, lightweight, resistant to high temperatures and pressure, and immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) [ 1 ]. Furthermore, fiber optic technology is flexible and can be used to measure several different physical quantities.

What is a fiber optic sensor?

Although the structure will depend on the particular technology, the basic structure of a fiber optic sensor consists of: an optical fiber, a light source, a sensing element, and a detector.
