Power Cable Monitoring Using Acoustic Sensing

Power Cable Monitoring Using Acoustic Sensing

An AP Sensing Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system is monitoring a 6 km high-voltage power cable in Germany.

A key feature of DAS is the ability to immediately detect and locate cable faults, which helps optimize transmission and distribution networks, and reduces costly and unnecessary operational costs and asset downtime.

AP Sensing Performed Urban Power Cable Monitoring Using DAS & AI

AP Sensing, together with our partner Crony, completed a project in Serbia aimed at monitoring underground, urban HVAC power cables and detecting activities that pose a risk to power cables, such as road construction. AP Sensing’s Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is designed and well-suited to detect TPI events by measuring s

500 kV HDVC TPI & Power Cable Monitoring

AP Sensing’s Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology was recently deployed by Korean Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) to monitor the power cable link. The asset is a 500 kV HVDC transmission line, approximately 35 km in length. KEPCO decided to deploy AP Sensing’s DAS to monitor the asset and receive alerts in case of Third Party Interference (TPI) activities.

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.
