Abstract:
In the context of hydroelectric plants, this article emphasizes the imperative of robust monitoring strategies. The utilization of fiber-optic sensors (FOSs) emerges as a promising approach due to their efficient optical transmission, minimal signal attenuation, and resistance to electromagnetic interference. These optical sensors have demonstrated success in diverse structures, including bridges and nuclear plants, especially in challenging environments. This article culminates with the depiction of the development of an array of sensors featuring Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs). This array is designed to measure deformation and temperature in protective grids surrounding the turbines at the Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Plant. Implemented in a real-world scenario, the device identifies deformation peaks, indicative of water flow obstructions, thereby contributing significantly to the safety and operational efficiency of the plant.
摘要:
在水力发电厂的背景下,这篇文章强调了稳健监控策略的必要性。光纤传感器(FOSs)的利用由于其有效的光传输而成为一种有前途的方法,最小的信号衰减,抗电磁干扰。这些光学传感器在不同的结构中取得了成功,包括桥梁和核电站,尤其是在充满挑战的环境中。本文以描述具有光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)的传感器阵列的开发为高潮。该阵列旨在测量圣安东尼奥水电站涡轮机周围保护电网的变形和温度。在现实世界的场景中实现,设备识别变形峰值,指示水流阻塞,从而大大有助于工厂的安全和运行效率。
