Monitoring offshore power cables using optical fibers
Monitoring offshore power cables using optical fibers
Fatigue and lifetime analysis - Jasper Ryvers
Damages to offshore power cables account for 85% of project insurance costs. Online cable monitoring can prevent submarine cable accidents and as a result reduce O&M costs of offshore wind energy. This research project studies the feasibility of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) using embedded optical fibres as a new monitoring tool. Numerical and experimental models will be developed to link the optical sensor data to the deformation of the power cable.
