The LIOS EN.SURE DTS & RTTR is a long range optical fiber based temperature- and strain sensing measurement system designed to monitor underground T&D power cables and overhead transmission lines. Using an optical fiber embedded in the power cable, or installed externally, the LIOS EN.SURE system can continuously monitor and predict power cable load, cable core temperature, and strain profile over single-ended lengths of up to 70 km per system.
The LIOS EN.SURE system can measure the temperature of a power cable with an accuracy better than 1°C and strain down to 2µε over distances up to 70km. This ensures precise hotspot location and fast detection of mechanical disturbances of the cable. This technology is key to develop SMART grids and to get maximum power output from important land/submarine transmission links. With this system, Transmission System Operators and utilities can ensure effective, efficient, safe, and sustainable supply of T&D energy as well as information in all communities today and in the future.
