Inzwa ye-fiber optic lokushisa, Uhlelo lokuqapha oluhlakaniphile, Umkhiqizi we-fiber optic osabalalisiwe e-China

I uhlelo lokulinganisa lokushisa kwe-fiber optic olusabalalisiwe uses temperature sensing fibers laid in the bus duct, and utilizes Raman scattering effect and optical time domain reflection positioning principle to monitor and accurately locate temperature changes along the bus duct in real time.

1、 The principle of distributed fiber optic measurement of bus duct temperature
Distributed optical fiber measurement of bus duct temperature is mainly based on the Raman scattering effect of optical fibers and the principle of optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) positioning.

When a distributed fiber optic host injects optical signal pulses into the fiber optic cable, the optical signal will undergo post Raman scattering during transmission within the fiber optic cable. When a certain position of the optical fiber is affected by external heat, the photon energy at that position will change, resulting in scattered light of different wavelengths. Due to the close relationship between wavelength and temperature, temperature information can be obtained by analyzing the wavelength and frequency shift of the scattered light returned.

Meanwhile, by utilizing the principle of optical time domain reflection positioning, the location where temperature changes occur can be determined. When light is transmitted in optical fibers, it will reflect at different positions. By measuring the time delay of the reflected light, the position of each point on the fiber can be determined. By combining the temperature information obtained from Raman scattering with optical time-domain reflection positioning, the temperature distribution along the fiber optic cable can be obtained, thereby achieving distributed measurement of the temperature in the bus duct. This measurement method can be precise to every temperature measurement point, achieving real-time monitoring of the temperature of the entire bus duct. For example, in some large power systems, the bus duct may be several kilometers long, and the distributed fiber optic temperature measurement system can accurately measure the temperature at certain distances (such as a sampling interval of 0.4 amamitha), and the positioning accuracy can reach 1 meter or even higher.

2、 Method for distributed fiber optic measurement of bus duct temperature
（1） Fiber optic laying
Lay along the direction of the busbar circuit
When laying distributed fiber optic devices in bus ducts, they should be laid along the direction of the bus circuit to ensure comprehensive temperature monitoring. Fiber optic cables need to penetrate various parts of the bus duct and cover the main area of the bus duct to obtain complete temperature information.
Bus connection disposal
At each busbar connection, the temperature sensing optical fiber will be wound into a temperature measuring ring. The purpose of doing this is to more accurately monitor the temperature situation of these key parts. The optical fiber is directly fixed on the surface of the connection cover, usually coiled three times, and then fixed with high-temperature resistant tape. Considering the uniformity of wiring and subsequent calibration and debugging, the installation length of temperature sensing optical fibers at each connection should be consistent.
Fiber optic fixed position
The optical fiber should be firmly fixed on the upper surface of the busbar, as in most cases, this layout can more effectively capture temperature changes. Of course, if there are restrictions on the installation location, the optical fiber can also be fixed on the lower surface of the busbar according to the actual situation, but it is absolutely not allowed to fix the optical fiber on the outside of the side plate to avoid affecting the accuracy and stability of temperature measurement.
In the wider area inside the bus duct, S-winding can be used to lay optical fibers, which can increase the contact area between the optical fibers and the bus duct, and improve the sensitivity and accuracy of temperature sensing.
End processing
Each distributed fiber optic temperature measurement host can connect multiple channels of temperature sensing fibers, and a fiber optic terminal box is installed at the end of each channel fiber optic cable, with approximately 10 meters of fiber optic cable reserved inside the terminal box. The optical fibers inside the terminal box do not undergo temperature measurement and mainly serve the purpose of positioning testing.
（2） Data collection and processing
data acquisition
The distributed fiber optic host injects optical signal pulses into the fiber optic cable, and the post Raman scattering light generated during the transmission of the optical signal in the fiber optic cable carries temperature information. These optical signals will be reflected back to the fiber optic temperature measurement host. The host obtains temperature related data by receiving these reflected light signals.
data processing
After receiving the reflected light signal, the fiber optic temperature measurement host first performs photoelectric conversion to convert the light signal into an electrical signal. Then, the electrical signal is amplified to enhance its strength for subsequent analysis. Afterwards, by analyzing the wavelength and frequency shift of the feedback, temperature data is calculated based on the relationship between Raman scattering and temperature. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, the principle of optical time domain reflection positioning is used to determine the location of temperature anomalies.
（3） Temperature monitoring and alarm
Real time monitoring
The distributed fiber optic temperature measurement system can monitor the temperature changes along the bus duct in real time. On the monitoring interface of the system (such as the distributed fiber optic temperature monitoring system installed on the PC host), temperature data of the fiber optic cable laying line can be displayed in the form of temperature distribution curves, temperature variation curves of each point over time, njll., making it convenient for users to intuitively understand the temperature status of the bus duct.
Alarm settings
Users can set warning and alarm values based on actual situations. When the temperature exceeds the warning value, the system can issue a warning signal to remind the staff to pay attention to the temperature changes in the bus duct. When the temperature exceeds the alarm value, the system will emit stronger alarm signals, such as sound and light alarms, and can even notify relevant personnel through SMS and other means. Alarm types can include constant temperature alarm (alarm when a certain point reaches a specific temperature), regional temperature difference alarm (alarm when the temperature difference in a certain area is too large), rapid temperature rise alarm (alarm when the temperature rise speed is too fast), fiber breakage alarm (alarm when the fiber is broken), device abnormality alarm, njll. These alarms are visualized to facilitate users to quickly locate problems.

5、 Precautions for distributed fiber optic measurement of bus duct temperature
（1） Precautions during installation
Bus duct status
Before installing the distributed fiber optic measurement device, it is necessary to ensure that the bus duct is in a power-off state to avoid unnecessary accidents caused by current interference, while also ensuring the safety of the installation personnel.
Fiber optic fixation
The fixation of optical fibers should be stable and meet the requirements. If the optical fiber should be fixed on the upper or lower surface of the busbar according to regulations (in special cases), it cannot be fixed on the outside of the side plate. At the busbar connection, the optical fiber should be wound and fixed according to regulations to ensure that the installation length of the temperature sensing optical fiber at each connection is consistent, which helps to ensure the accuracy of measurement and subsequent calibration and debugging work.
Connection and wiring
When connecting equipment such as fiber optic terminal boxes, it is important to ensure a secure connection to prevent any looseness that may affect signal transmission. The wiring should be neat and reasonable, avoiding situations such as fiber compression and excessive bending. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, the uniformity of wiring should be considered to facilitate subsequent maintenance and management work.
（2） Precautions during use
Temperature alarm setting
Users should set warning and alarm values reasonably based on the actual operation and design requirements of the bus duct. If the alarm value is set too low, false alarms may occur; If set too high, temperature anomalies may not be detected in a timely manner, leading to safety hazards.
Equipment maintenance
Regularly maintain the equipment of the distributed fiber optic temperature measurement system, including inspecting the temperature measurement host, fiber optic equipment, and other devices. Check the operating status of the temperature measurement host, such as whether data processing is normal, whether communication is normal, njll; Check whether the optical fiber is damaged, aged, njll., and replace or repair it in a timely manner if there are any problems.
Data monitoring and analysis
Regularly analyze the monitored temperature data, not only focusing on whether the current temperature value is normal, but also analyzing the trend of temperature changes. For example, if it is found that the temperature in a certain area, although not exceeding the alarm value, shows a continuous upward trend, it also needs to be taken seriously and further checked.
