Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical cable data acquisition, and in particular to a power OPGW optical cable data acquisition device and method based on distributed optical sensing technology. Background Art
[0002] OPGW optical cable places optical fiber in the ground wire of overhead high-voltage transmission line to form an optical fiber communication network on the transmission line. It has the dual functions of ground wire and communication. As the information transmission medium of power system, it plays an important role in the construction of smart grid. The OPGW optical cable placed on the top of the tower is subject to the harm caused by natural environmental changes such as ice, wind, and lightning strikes. At the same time, it is affected by factors such as construction quality, optical cable structure, and geographical location differences of towers in the tension section. OPGW faces static and dynamic tension, high temperature and lightning current, causing hardware damage, broken strands and fibers, tower collapse and other accidents, which brings hidden dangers to the safe and stable operation of OPGW optical cable.
[0003] Traditional monitoring technologies include image processing, GPS sensing, and fiber Bragg grating. Image processing is easily affected by weather, cannot work in harsh environments, and has poor reliability. The construction and daily maintenance costs of GPS system base stations are high, and the economy is insufficient. The sensing distance of fiber Bragg grating is limited. The signal transmission method, transmission distance, and capacity of existing sensors are limited, and they are easily affected by electromagnetic interference and require line power supply, which cannot meet monitoring needs. Distributed fiber optic sensing technology can achieve distributed sensing of hundreds of kilometers using existing optical fibers. It has natural advantages such as being passive, resistant to strong electromagnetic interference, no need for line power supply, and inherent safety. It has broad application prospects in power systems.
[0004] Currently, BOTDR (Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometer) is used to monitor stress, temperature, icing, and lightning strikes, and Φ-OTDR (phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer) is used to monitor vibration, dancing, and icing. However, due to the complex climate environment that optical cables face, a single measurement parameter cannot accurately reflect the damage to the line. Therefore, the integration of multiple sensing mechanisms for multi-parameter sensing is of great significance for the evaluation of line status. Summary of the invention

[0054] The power OPGW optical cable data acquisition device based on distributed optical sensing technology described in the embodiment of the present invention combines BOTDR, Φ-OTDR and OTDR technologies to realize multi-parameter sensing of temperature, strain, vibration and attenuation; the process of realizing optical cable data acquisition using the above-mentioned power OPGW optical cable data acquisition device is as follows:
[0055] The continuous light output by the narrow linewidth laser 8 is divided into two branches, an upper branch and an lower branch, by the first coupler 9. The continuous light signal of the lower branch is modulated by the electro-optic modulator 23 and then outputted as a reference light signal by the optical attenuator 24. The continuous light of the upper branch is combined with the broadband continuous light signal output by the broadband laser 1 by the first wavelength division multiplexer 2 and then modulated into a pulse light signal by the acousto-optic modulator 3. The peak power is amplified by the first erbium-doped fiber amplifier 4 and then injected into the second wavelength division multiplexer 6 and the Raman light signal output by the Raman amplifier 12 through the first circulator 5 into the optical fiber to be tested 7 at the same time. The Raman light signal realizes the backscattering caused by Brillouin scattering and Rayleigh scattering in the optical fiber to be tested. Distributed amplification of optical signals improves signal quality and sensing distance; the backscattered optical signal after distributed amplification is reflected and filtered out by the second wavelength division multiplexer 6 to remove the Raman optical signal, and the remaining optical signal is transmitted and injected into the second erbium-doped fiber amplifier 11 through the first circulator 5 for optical power amplification, and then the broadband optical signal of the 1570nm band is filtered out by the third wavelength division multiplexer 15, and is detected in real time by the first photodetector 14, and the output photocurrent is collected in real time by the first data acquisition card 13 to form an OTDR system; by taking logarithmic processing of the OTDR signal, the distance of the OPGW optical cable and the attenuation and welding position along the line are located and measured;
[0056] The remaining narrowband scattered light signal is divided into two paths through the second coupler 16. The first narrowband scattered light signal is input through the first optical signal port of the second circulator 17, and injected into the first optical filter 19 for filtering through the second optical signal port of the second circulator 17 to obtain a Rayleigh scattered light signal, which is detected by the second photodetector 18. The output photocurrent is collected in real time by the second data acquisition card 27 to form a Φ-OTDR system; by averaging and differential processing of the Rayleigh signal, real-time positioning and measurement of vibration along the OPGW optical cable are achieved;
[0057] The second narrowband scattered light signal is input through the first optical signal port of the third circulator 20, and is injected into the second optical filter 21 for filtering through the second optical signal port of the second circulator 17 to obtain a Brillouin scattered light signal, which is detected by the third photodetector 26, and the output photocurrent is collected in real time by the second data acquisition card 27 to form a BOTDR system; the Brillouin signal is subjected to Lorentz fitting to obtain a Brillouin spectrum, and the real-time positioning and measurement of the temperature and strain along the OPGW optical cable are achieved through the movement size of the Brillouin spectrum;
[0058] The pulse generator 10 controls the acousto-optic modulator 3, the microwave source 22, the first data acquisition card 13 and the second data acquisition card 27 respectively; the microwave source 22 controls the electro-optic modulator 23, thereby realizing the synchronous acquisition of temperature, strain, vibration and attenuation signals.
[0059] The first data acquisition card 13 is used to collect OTDR signals, and the host computer is used to measure and analyze events. OTDR uses the principles of Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection, and can be used to measure information such as the length / attenuation / breakage, return loss, fusion loss, and reflectivity of optical fibers. When light is transmitted in an optical fiber, the light is Rayleigh scattered due to the defects of the optical fiber itself and the non-uniformity of the doping components. In addition, when light encounters the boundary of two media with different refractive indices, such as connectors, mechanical splices, breaks, or optical fiber interruptions, Fresnel reflection occurs, and part of the scattered and reflected light will return along the optical fiber. It is currently the most important detection technology for power communication optical cables, and is used to measure whether there is a broken core, large loss, or large attenuation.
[0060] The BOTDR time domain signal is collected by the second acquisition card 27. The BOTDR system uses the linear relationship between the change in the frequency shift of the spontaneous Brillouin scattered light in the optical fiber and the axial strain and temperature of the optical fiber to measure the temperature and strain along the optical fiber. The microwave source is used to control the frequency sweep to obtain the time domain signal at different frequencies, and a three-dimensional Brillouin scattering power spectrum of "frequency-distance-intensity" at each position along the optical fiber is constructed. The frequency domain signal at each position along the optical fiber is fitted with a Lorentz curve to obtain the Brillouin scattering frequency shift. The linear relationship between the change in the frequency shift of the spontaneous Brillouin scattered light in the optical fiber and the axial strain and temperature of the optical fiber is used to measure the temperature and strain along the optical fiber. The result reflects whether there is a strain area in the optical cable, and the static stress area of the optical cable is measured.
[0061] The second acquisition card 27 is used to collect the Φ-OTDR time domain signal. The Φ-OTDR uses the Rayleigh scattering effect in the optical fiber. When the sensing optical fiber is affected by external vibration, the refractive index of the optical fiber at the corresponding position will change, thereby causing the light phase at the corresponding position to change, and further causing the amplitude of the backward Rayleigh scattering interference signal to change. The final interference result will directly reflect the location of the disturbance point, so that the specific location of the external interference can be determined. The time domain signal obtained by the host computer is differentiated from the previous set of time domain signals to obtain a differential signal, and it is determined whether the differential signal is greater than the threshold. If it is greater than the threshold, the differential signal within a period of time is saved, and the differential three-dimensional spectrum composed of multiple differential signals at the point where the differential signal is greater than the threshold is Fourier transformed to obtain the frequency of the disturbance area, so as to determine whether the optical cable is affected by dynamic stress and whether the optical cable vibrates.
[0062] Combining the test results of OTDR, BOTDR, and Φ-OTDR, the safety status of the optical cable is comprehensively reflected. If static strain, dynamic strain, and loss anomalies exist at the same position, there are major safety hazards in the optical cable. This enables the synchronous collection of temperature, strain, vibration, and attenuation signals of the OPGW optical cable using only the same device and the same fiber core.
