View DetailsDespite the importance of these components, and the suitability of fiber optics sensors for monitoring these systems, there is relatively little research in this area, with and proposing FBG systems to monitor the temperature of the power electronic devices.
Many different sensor technologies are utilized in power systems, but fiber optic sensors are an attractive solution across several applications.
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.
Fiber optic communications can help solve the problem of integrating alternative-energy sources into the traditional grid. Instead of small numbers of large sources of power, alternative energy varies from kilowatts from residential solar-power systems to megawatts from commercial solar-power stations and wind farms.
As already discussed fiber optics can transmit the signal with high speed for long distances and high bandwidth without any interference. So there is no chance to lose the signal. If the protection system received the correct signal it can take corrective action in time and provide safe operation of the power system.
For power system protection and control, optical fiber can play a big role in providing accurate signals which high speed. So using a SCADA system with fiber optics can provide great control and protection of the power system. M. EI-Hami, K.T.V. Grattan, An overview of optical-fibre technology applications in electrical power systems. Meas.
