Launch of AP Sensing's Power Cable Monitoring Video

AP Sensing’s distributed fiber optic sensing technology provides a holistic Power Cable Monitoring solutions that can monitors your entire power cable infrastructure and enables network performance optimization. Using a standard fiber optic cable as a continuous sensor, our Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technologies monitor kilometers of subsea and underground power cables, as well as overhead lines.

Our technology is used for:

Cable Fault Detection and Location
Third Party Interference (TPI) Monitoring
Condition Assessments
Real Time Thermal Rating (RTTR)
Depth of Burial (DoB) Monitoring
Maximum Permissible Load

Case Studies & News

T&D network chooses AP Sensing's DTS + RTTR

AP Sensing’s Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) solution was selected in order for the T&D to maximize its assets and take advantage of the related operational cost savings with a noticeable improvement in the network’s efficiency.

Optical Fault Location and Temperature Monitoring of a 220 kV Power Cable

The Horns Rev 3 offshore wind farm, located off the west coast of Denmark, has a maximum installed power capacity of 400 MW. They chose AP Sensing for our unique combination of Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) capabilities.

Third Party Intrusion & Power Cable Monitoring

AP Sensing’s technology was deployed by RTE to monitor a 225 kV underground power cable link located in the west of France. The link is approximately 39 km long and monitored for Third Party Intrusion (TPI) activities plus cable faults using our Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system, as well as hotspots using our Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) system. The power link installation is surrounded by frequent agricultural activities that pose no harm to the cable. To mitigate the risk of increased false alarms from these activities, similar events were simulated to test the system based on soil mixing and harvesting agricultural machines.
