A guide to the physics of
Dynamic Temperature Sensing (DTS) measurements including practical
information about procedures and applications
Distributed Fiber Sensing and Dynamic Ratings of Power Cable offers
a comprehensive review of the physics of dynamic temperature sensing
measurements (DTS), examines its functioning, and explores possible
applications. The expert authors describe the available fiber optic
cables, their construction, and methods of installation. The book also
includes a discussion on the variety of testing methods with information
on the advantages and disadvantages of each.
The book reviews
the application of the DTS systems in a utility environment, and
highlights the possible placement of the fiber optic cable. The authors
offer a detailed explanation of the cable ampacity (current rating)
calculations and examines how the measured fiber temperature is used to
obtain the dynamic cable rating information in real time. In addition,
the book details the leading RTTR suppliers, including the verification
methods they used before their products come to market. Information on
future applications of the DTS technology in other aspects of power
system operation is also discussed. This important book:
• Explains the required calibration procedures and utility performance tests needed after the installation of a DTS system
•
Includes information on the various practical aspects of communicating
measured and computed quantities to the transmission system operator
•
Reviews possible applications of the technology to fault location,
vibration monitoring, and general surveying of land and submarine cable
routes
Written for cable engineers and manufacturers, Distributed Fiber Sensing and Dynamic Ratings of Power Cable
is an authoritative guide to the physics of DTS measurements and
contains information about costs, installation procedures, maintenance,
and various applications.
