Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0051] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for monitoring ice thickness on a transmission line provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case of real-time monitoring of ice thickness on a transmission line. The method can be executed by a device for monitoring ice thickness on a transmission line provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and is usually configured in an electronic device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transmission line ice thickness monitoring method includes the following steps:

[0052] S101 , obtaining laser data signals reflected by each fiber Bragg grating sensor uploaded by a laser receiver, and determining the wavelength of the laser reflected by the fiber Bragg grating sensor based on the laser data signals.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, a transmission line is erected on an outdoor tower, and the transmission line is supported by a plurality of towers arranged at intervals.

[0054] During the construction phase of a transmission line, optical fibers are laid inside the transmission line. For example, multiple optical fibers are laid along the extension direction of the transmission line. Fiber Bragg grating sensors are installed in the optical fibers at the connection between the transmission line and the tower. A wind speed sensor is also installed on the tower to monitor wind speed. The reason for laying the optical fibers inside the transmission line in this embodiment is to protect the detection equipment and prevent the environment outside the transmission line from affecting the monitoring data. In other embodiments, the optical fibers can also be laid outside the transmission line, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Fiber Bragg grating sensors are a type of optical fiber sensor. The sensing process based on fiber Bragg gratings obtains sensing information by modulating the Bragg wavelength of the optical fiber with external physical parameters. It is a wavelength-modulated optical fiber sensor. Fiber Bragg grating sensors can directly measure physical quantities such as temperature and strain. Specifically, fiber Bragg grating sensors have an initial reflection wavelength. When light waves pass through the fiber Bragg grating, they reflect back a narrowband light of a specific wavelength. The wavelength of the narrowband light depends on the grating pitch (grating period) of the fiber Bragg grating. When the grating period of a fiber Bragg grating sensor changes due to temperature or strain, the wavelength response of the reflected light wave also changes. Therefore, there is a corresponding relationship between the wavelength λ of the light reflected by the fiber Bragg grating sensor and physical quantities such as temperature, force, and length. This is the basic principle of fiber Bragg grating sensing technology.

[0055] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the internal optical fiber distribution of the transmission line provided by the embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, three optical fibers A, B, and C are laid along the extension direction of the transmission line. Each optical fiber is provided with a fiber Bragg grating sensor at the connection between the transmission line and the tower, namely the first fiber Bragg grating sensor, the second fiber Bragg grating sensor, and the third fiber Bragg grating sensor. The first fiber Bragg grating sensor is used to measure the strain of the transmission line, the second fiber Bragg grating sensor is used to measure the change in line length caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the transmission line due to changes in ambient temperature, and the third fiber Bragg grating sensor is sensitive to temperature but not to strain and is used for temperature compensation.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, when laying optical fibers, they are stretched along their length while maintaining the strain within their elastic deformation range. The primary purpose of this stretching step is to ensure that when the transmission line contracts due to low temperatures, the fiber remains stretched, thereby preventing it from entering a relaxed state. This measure is crucial because the stretched state of the fiber is fundamental to its accurate sensing and signal transmission capabilities. Once the fiber enters a relaxed state, its ability to sense subtle deformations is significantly reduced, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring data.

[0057] A laser transmitter and receiver are installed at one end of a transmission line. To address the uniquely challenging environment of transmission lines and their high demands for stable, long-term operation, this invention employs a power supply solution centered around high-capacity deep-cycle lead-acid batteries, supplemented by solar panels and wind turbines, to form a diversified primary power system. This solution aims to provide a long-lasting and stable energy supply path for the laser diode and other light source equipment in the laser transmitter. Given the deep-cycle lead-acid battery's excellent energy storage performance and stability in harsh environments, it ensures continuous operation of the laser diode even in extreme weather conditions. To further enhance system reliability and independence, this system incorporates an automatic low-battery alarm mechanism for scenarios where solar or wind power generation is insufficient to maintain power. Once the battery charge drops below a predetermined threshold, the alarm system automatically activates, notifying the operations and maintenance team to take immediate action. Considering the economical power consumption of the laser diode and the ample capacity of the lead-acid battery, the dual-end power supply layout on the tower effectively addresses extreme or unforeseen circumstances, ensuring the continuity and integrity of the transmission line monitoring system.

[0058] The laser receiver can convert the received optical signal into an electrical signal (ie, a laser data signal) and upload it to the host computer. The host computer determines the wavelength of the laser reflected by the fiber grating sensor based on the laser data signal of each fiber grating sensor.

[0059] S102: Calculate the actual stress of the power transmission line between two adjacent towers based on the wavelength of the laser reflected by each fiber grating sensor.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, the actual stress of the transmission line between two adjacent towers is calculated based on the wavelength of laser light reflected by each fiber Bragg grating sensor. Exemplarily, the wavelength of the laser light reflected by the third fiber Bragg grating sensor and the wavelength of the laser light reflected by the second fiber Bragg grating sensor are subtracted from the wavelength of the laser light reflected by the first fiber Bragg grating sensor to obtain a third wavelength. This wavelength offsets the effects of temperature and temperature-induced deformation on the laser light reflected by the first fiber Bragg grating sensor. The actual stress of the transmission line between the two adjacent towers is then calculated based on the third wavelength and the intrinsic properties of the first fiber Bragg grating sensor.

[0061] For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the actual stress of the transmission line between two adjacent towers is calculated based on the wavelength of the laser reflected by each fiber Bragg grating sensor. The calculation process is as follows:

[0062] 1. The wavelength of the laser signal reflected by the third fiber grating sensor is used as the first wavelength of the reflected light caused by the change in ambient temperature.

[0072] 5. Calculate the actual stress of the transmission line between two adjacent towers based on the strain of the transmission line caused by external loads and the elastic modulus of the transmission line.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present invention, the actual stress of the transmission line between two adjacent towers is calculated based on the strain of the transmission line caused by the external load and the elastic modulus of the transmission line. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0074] σ ij =E×ε ij

[0075] Where E is the elastic modulus of the transmission line, which can be obtained by looking up the table.

[0076] S103. Considering the deadweight of the transmission line between two adjacent towers, the deadweight of ice, and the wind speed collected by the wind speed sensor, a stress function of the stress of the transmission line between the two adjacent towers with respect to the ice thickness is constructed.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, a stress function is constructed to represent the stress of the transmission line between two adjacent towers with respect to ice thickness, taking into account the deadweight of the transmission line between two adjacent towers, the deadweight of ice, and the wind speed recorded by a wind speed sensor. For example, a total load function is constructed to represent the total load of the transmission line between two adjacent towers with respect to ice thickness based on the deadweight of the transmission line, the deadweight of ice, and the wind speed recorded by the wind speed sensor. Then, based on the total load function and the cross-sectional area of ​​the transmission line, a tension function is derived to represent the tension of the transmission line between the two adjacent towers with respect to ice thickness. This tension function is then used as the stress function to represent the stress of the transmission line between the two adjacent towers with respect to ice thickness.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the process of constructing a stress function of the stress of the transmission line between two adjacent towers with respect to ice thickness is as follows:

[0079] 1. Considering the deadweight of the transmission line and the deadweight of ice between two adjacent towers, a first load function of the deadweight load of the transmission line between two adjacent towers with respect to the ice thickness is constructed.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present invention, the deadweight and ice deadweight of the transmission line between two adjacent towers are considered, and a first load function is constructed that relates the deadweight load of the transmission line between two adjacent towers to the ice thickness. For example, considering that ice is evenly distributed along the transmission line, the first load function is:

[0081] F self+ice =g·L·(ρ wire A+ρ ice ·A ice )

[0082] Among them, A ice is the cross-sectional area of ​​ice, A ice =π((D+2d) 2 -D 2 ) / 4, A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the transmission line, A=πD 2 / 4, D is the diameter of the transmission line, d is the ice thickness, ρ wire is the line density, ρ iceis the density of ice, L is the length of the transmission line between two adjacent towers, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

[0083] 2. Based on the wind speed, a second load function of the wind load on the transmission line between the two towers with respect to the ice thickness is constructed.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, a second load function of the wind load on the transmission line between the two towers with respect to ice thickness is constructed based on the wind speed. For example, the second load function is:

[0085]

[0086] Among them, C d is the wind load coefficient, ρ air is the air density at the location of the transmission line, v is the wind speed monitored by the wind speed sensor, D is the diameter of the transmission line, d is the ice thickness, and L is the length of the transmission line between two adjacent towers.

[0087] 3. Calculate the vector sum of the first load function and the second load function to obtain the total load function of the transmission line between the two towers.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present invention, the vector sum of the first load function and the second load function is calculated to obtain the total load function of the transmission line between the two towers. The total load function is:

[0089]

[0090] 4. Calculate the quotient of the total load function and the cross-sectional area of ​​the transmission line to obtain the tension function of the transmission line tension between the two towers with respect to the ice thickness, and use the tension function as the stress function of the transmission line stress between the two adjacent towers with respect to the ice thickness.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present invention, the quotient of the total load function and the cross-sectional area of ​​the transmission line is calculated to obtain a tension function of the tension of the transmission line between two towers with respect to the ice thickness. The tension function is used as a stress function of the stress of the transmission line between two adjacent towers with respect to the ice thickness. The stress function is:

[0092] T=F tot / A

[0093] S104. Substitute the actual stress into the stress function to obtain the ice thickness.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present invention, the actual stress obtained by the above calculation is substituted into the stress function to calculate the ice thickness.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present invention, an ice thickness safety threshold may be preset. When the ice thickness is detected to exceed the ice thickness safety threshold, a warning signal may be sent to a user terminal of a maintenance personnel.

[0096] The present invention provides a method for monitoring ice thickness on power transmission lines. Multiple optical fibers are laid along the transmission line. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are installed in the optical fibers at the connection between the transmission line and the tower. A wind speed sensor is also installed on the tower. The method includes obtaining laser data signals reflected by each FBG sensor, uploaded by a laser receiver, and determining the wavelength of the laser light reflected by the FBG sensor based on the laser data signals. The actual stress of the transmission line between two adjacent towers is calculated based on the wavelength of the laser light reflected by each FBG sensor. The method constructs a stress function of the stress of the transmission line between the two adjacent towers with respect to ice thickness, taking into account the weight of the transmission line between the two adjacent towers, the weight of the ice, and the wind speed recorded by the wind speed sensor. The actual stress is then substituted into the stress function to obtain the ice thickness. The present invention utilizes fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors to achieve high-precision, real-time monitoring of ice coverage on transmission lines. The method is particularly suitable for use in extreme weather conditions, significantly improving the accuracy and real-time nature of the monitoring data.

[0097] For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, the monitoring results and alarm signals can also be transmitted to the unit's internal server through an intranet switch via an encryption algorithm (such as AES128). At the same time, they will be transmitted to the alarm room and office in the substation through the switch. In this way, the staff in the substation can receive the alarm signal as soon as possible and take effective measures in a timely manner. In addition, the monitoring results and alarm signals can also be archived for easy subsequent tracing. The transformer foundation status information data in the memory is read in the internal office system to display real-time data and historical trends, as well as any alarms or abnormal conditions. Based on the monitoring data, maintenance personnel can evaluate the condition of the substation transformer foundation and take maintenance or reinforcement measures when necessary. Through this process, the fiber optic sensor system can provide continuous and real-time monitoring of the substation transformer foundation to ensure its stability and safety. The advantages of this monitoring technology are its high sensitivity, strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability, and reliability suitable for harsh environmental conditions.
