Definition of Distributed Fiber Optic Acoustic Sensing
Distributed Acoustic Sensing System (THE) is a fiber optic optoelectronic device that measures acoustic interactions along the length of the fiber optic sensing cable.
The unique feature of a distributed acoustic sensing system is that it provides a continuous (or distributed) temperature distribution along the length of the sensing cable, rather than at discrete sensing points.
Distributed acoustic sensing technology
Odatda, DAS technology uses standard telecommunications fiber optic cables, and specialized fiber optic cables are only required at high temperatures (greater than 100 ° C). Sensing fibers are usually based on single-mode fibers, although some specialized applications use multi-mode sensing fibers.
The range of a DAS system is usually up to 50km per sensing fiber, and each inquiry unit usually has 1 yoki 2 channels that can be operated simultaneously. Masalan, DAS can measure up to 100km, and 2-channel units can measure 50km in any direction.
measuring principle
The distributed acoustic sensor interrogation unit transmits laser pulses to the fiber optic. When this type of light pulse propagates along the fiber, the interaction inside the fiber causes light reflection called backscattering, which is determined by small strain (or vibration) events inside the fiber, which are caused by local sound energy. This backscattered light propagates upwards along the fiber optic to the interrogation unit, where it is sampled at Rayleigh frequency. The time required for laser pulses allows for accurate mapping of backscatter events to the fiber distance – this is known as an optical time-domain reflectometer.
Most distributed acoustic sensing systems on the market today are based on a principle called Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (COTDR).
Spatial resolution and spatial sampling period
The spatial resolution is mainly determined by the duration of the emitted pulse, and a resolution of 10m given by a 100ns pulse is a typical value. The amount of reflected light is proportional to the pulse length, so there is a trade-off between spatial resolution and maximum range. In order to improve the maximum range, it is hoped to use longer pulse lengths to increase the level of reflected light, but this leads to greater spatial resolution. Typically, the spatial resolution of most systems is 5-10 metr.
Comparison between DAS and other fiber optic distributed sensing systems
There are many other distributed fiber optic sensing technologies that rely on different scattering mechanisms and can be used to measure other parameters.
Brillouin based systems are commonly used to measure distributed strain and temperature.
Brillouin scattering is much weaker than Rayleigh scattering, so reflections from multiple pulses must be added together to enable measurement. Shuning uchun, the maximum frequency for measuring changes using Brillouin scattering is usually several tens of Hz, while Rayleigh based COTDR DAS systems have kHz sensitivity.
Raman based systems are commonly used for temperature measurement, while DTS systems are typically based on Raman technology. The intensity of Raman scattering is even lower than that of Brillouin scattering, so it usually takes an average of many seconds or even a few minutes to obtain reasonable results. Shuning uchun, Raman based systems are only suitable for measuring slowly changing temperatures.
Data collection, signal processing, and visualization
Due to the large amount of data generated by distributed acoustic sensing systems, it is crucial to have a strategy for management, processing, and data visualization. These systems collect data at speeds above 10 Khz at up to 20 sensing points. This is equivalent to the rate at which terabyte drives can be filled within a few days.
Odatda, the inquiry unit is connected to the processing unit (industrial PC or server) that manages data storage and processing. Odatda, there is a scrolling buffer used to store raw data because there is very little content stored beyond this.
The processing unit is programmed using a series of intelligent algorithms to interpret raw data and analyze whether it matches pre-defined events, such as intrusion events or pipeline leaks. The fiber optic sensing cable will be divided into multiple areas, where specific selected algorithms will be selected and alerts will be assigned within each area.
There are many ways to visualize these events. One approach is to use DTS specific visualization software, such as displaying the path of optical fibers based on site maps or charts, and if there are events, it will highlight the location of the events and display alarms. Another approach is for the DAS software interface to be integrated with existing SCADA, nazorat qilish, or security software packages. In this case, the event will highlight the software of the parties involved in 3.
DAS measurement principle:
Please add a link to describe that DAS is a distributed fiber optic sensor based on coherent Rayleigh scattering. It utilizes the sensitivity of optical fibers to sound (tebranish). When external vibrations act on the sensing optical fiber, due to the elastic optical effect, the refractive index and length of the optical fiber will undergo slight changes, resulting in a phase change of the transmitted signal inside the optical fiber and a change in light intensity.
The phase change caused by sound waves is very small, so DAS systems usually use highly coherent pulse light sources. Interference occurs between Rayleigh scattering signals within the pulse width area. When external vibration causes a phase change, the intensity of the coherent Rayleigh scattering signal at that point will change. By detecting the intensity change of the Rayleigh scattering light signal before and after vibration (differential signal), vibration event detection can be achieved, and multiple vibration events can be accurately located simultaneously.
