Long-distance transmission conductor condition sensing based on distributed fiber optic sensing technology

Abstract The existing long-distance transmission line perception mainly focuses on the measurement and analysis of electrical parameters. When the line is subject to wind vibration, icing or galloping, the changes of electrical parameters are not obvious and difficult to capture, resulting in poor performance of long-distance transmission line fault state perception. In this regard, the long-distance transmission line condition sensing based on distributed optical fiber sensing technology is studied. This method designs corresponding sensing methods for four working conditions: using the back Brillouin scattering sensor and phase sensitive Rayleigh scattering sensor in the optical fiber sensing technology to form a multi parameter distributed optical fiber sensing device, which is used to sense the surface temperature, vibration, strain and other data of the long-distance transmission line; By analyzing the linear relationship between fiber Brillouin frequency shift and Brillouin power and fiber strain and temperature, the sensing results of icing thickness of long-distance transmission lines are obtained; By calculating the amplitude and phase information of the detection signal, the sensing results of long-distance transmission line vibration are obtained; By calculating the time difference of polarization mutation signal at both ends of long-distance transmission line, combined with the propagation speed of optical signal and the length of long-distance transmission line, the perception result of lightning fault location of long-distance transmission line can be obtained. The experimental results show that this method can more accurately collect the real-time operation data of long-distance transmission lines, and can effectively perceive the galloping, wind vibration and lightning fault location of long-distance transmission lines.
