Real Time Thermal Rating (RTTR) systems and distributed temperature sensing (DTS) technologies have been used within power cable condition monitoring to rate cables since the 1990’s. A well documented power cable failure in Auckland 1998 shut down the city’s central business district. As a result, this recognised the benefits of incorporating DTS and RTTR into power transmission operations.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing and Distributed Temperature Sensing are fiber optic sensing solutions. These measure temperature along the fiber either utilizing a technique called Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (COTDR) or Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR). Therefore, turning the entire length of a fiber optic cable into a sensor.

Bandweaver offer a range of distributed cable monitoring solutions, including fiber optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology. These are a fundamental and essential tool for condition monitoring for transmission and distribution networks. With an increase in the demand for renewable energy schemes, often off-shore, there are major costs associated with asset management. These are due to the installation and maintenance of subsea cables which is both problematic and very expensive.
