AI Technical Summary
Existing distributed fiber optic monitoring devices have limited measurement distances in deep-sea wind power transmission cables. Fiber optic transmission loss and nonlinear effects result in excessively high signal-to-noise ratios or reduced scattered signals, affecting the accuracy of temperature and strain measurements and failing to meet the monitoring requirements of deep-sea wind power transmission cables.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a kind of sending out sea cable distributed optical fiber online monitoring device, belongs to the field of optical fiber sensing. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, offshore wind farm site resources have become scarce, and offshore wind power development has moved towards "deep sea". Deep sea wind power resources are abundant and have great development potential. The typical technical route of offshore wind power grid connection includes AC transmission and flexible DC transmission. AC transmission technology has technical and cost advantages in offshore wind farms, but in the application scenario of large-capacity and far-sea wind power grid connection, the capacitance effect of AC cable will greatly increase the reactive power loss and reduce the effective load capacity of the cable. Compared with AC transmission, flexible DC transmission technology uses DC cable transmission, avoids the problem of limited transmission distance caused by AC cable charging power, and has technical advantages such as effectively isolating the mutual influence between onshore AC power grid and offshore wind farm, providing stable grid-connected voltage for offshore wind farm, and flexible system operation mode regulation. It is currently recognized as the mainstream technology for deep-sea wind power transmission.
[0003] Distributed optical fiber monitoring of transmission cable is a distributed optical fiber sensing technology based on Brillouin scattering effect. Deep-sea wind power also has higher requirements for the effective measurement distance of transmission cable online monitoring. Measurement distance is a core indicator of distributed optical fiber sensor and a key for online monitoring of transmission cable in deep-sea wind power projects. The increase of measurement distance will cause two serious problems: 1) limited by optical fiber transmission loss, as the length of optical fiber increases, the backscattering signal of optical fiber decays exponentially with distance, and the scattered signal returned from the far end is too large to be detected due to too much loss, affecting the measurement accuracy of temperature, strain and other parameters; 2) limited by the nonlinearity of optical fiber, the longer the length of optical fiber, the smaller the power of narrow linewidth laser allowed to be transmitted in the optical fiber, which will directly lead to a significant reduction in the backscattering signal of the optical fiber, affecting the measurement accuracy of temperature, strain and other parameters. The measurement distance of single distributed optical fiber temperature and strain monitoring technology currently used at home and abroad is only 50-60 km, which cannot meet the monitoring requirements of deep-sea offshore wind power transmission cable.
[0004] The distributed optical fiber online monitoring device based on stimulated Brillouin scattering effect realizes distributed temperature and strain sensing by the interaction of pump light and probe light. In order to realize the control and frequency scanning of the pump light and the probe light, the existing distributed optical fiber online monitoring device sets the pump light source and the probe light source on one side of the sensing optical fiber, and the sensing optical fiber adopts a U-shaped back-and-forth configuration (loop structure). In this way, the pump light and the probe light need to pass through an optical fiber length twice the sensing distance to realize measurement. Specifically, if a sensing distance of 50km is to be realized, the pump light and the probe light need to pass through an optical fiber length of 100km, which not only wastes the energy of the pump light and the probe light and the measurement time, but more importantly, the input optical power of the pump light is limited with the increase of the optical fiber length, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy of the sensor.
[0005] The application number CN202111350139.5 "A submarine cable fault online diagnosis and positioning method based on optical fiber sensing technology" mentioned that the detection optical fiber is used to realize real-time online measurement of submarine cable strain data, and obtain submarine cable strain data information, which has the limitation of measurement distance. Compared with the present application, the advantages of the present application are: 1. In the single-pass relay amplifier of the offshore booster station, the blocking of the pulsed laser emitted by the pump laser is realized, which blocks the further transmission of the pulsed laser in the loop-back optical fiber, that is, the transmission distance of the pulsed laser is shortened, which means that the power of the pulsed laser can be improved and the repetition frequency of the pulsed laser can be improved. The former makes the scattering signal of the loop-back optical fiber stronger, and the latter makes the number of cumulative averages more in the same measurement time, both of which can effectively improve the effective detection distance; 2. An optical fiber amplifier EDFA is added in the middle of the loop-back optical fiber. Since the gain is relatively large, the power of the continuous laser emitted by the probe laser and entering the loop-back optical fiber can be greatly reduced. When the continuous laser transmitted in the opposite direction in the loop-back optical fiber reaches the optical fiber amplifier EDFA, the continuous laser is relayed and amplified, which compensates for the transmission loss of the continuous laser in the loop-back optical fiber; 3. The single-pass relay amplification technology is innovatively adopted to change the traditional single-end loop structure, realize relay blocking of the pump laser and relay amplification of the probe laser, effectively reduce the nonlinear effect and the transmission interval of the laser pulse, and increase the effective measurement distance by 1 times without sacrificing the spatial resolution and the measurement accuracy, thereby realizing 120km ultra-long distance submarine cable distributed optical fiber online monitoring.
