Distributed Temperature Sensing
Distributed Temperature Sensing Systems (DTS) are optoelectronic devices which measure temperature by means of optical fibres functioning as linear sensors. Temperatures are recorded along the optical sensor cable, thus not at points, but as a distributed profile.
Measuring Principle - Raman Effect
The optical waveguides are made of doped quartz glass. Quartz glass is a form of SiO2 with amorphic solid-state structure. Heat induces grid oscillation in the solid state.
Measuring Principle - OFDR Technology
For the locally distributed measurement of the Raman scattered light (DTS) one requires a high performance optical backscatter process. Compared to the Rayleigh scattered light, the Raman scattered light measurement displays a backscatter signal which is smaller by a factor of 1000.
Superior Technology and Industrial Strength
The OFDR technology - with its approved optical components from the telecom industry - enables to provide sophisticated fibre optic Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) surveillance at commodity prices.
Real Time Thermal Rating Calculation Engine for Power Cable Monitoring
LIOS offers Real Time Thermal Rating/ Dynamic Cable Rating (RTTR/ DCR) solutions for ampacity predictions of the power cable and overhead transmission line installation transparently integrated with its field proven DTS systems. Continuous and cost - effective monitoring of the electric transmission and distribution grid is the essential success factor of Smart Grid implementations.
Cyber Security - also key for Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems
The initially isolated stand-alone DTS systems has become recently more and more integrated into complex Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. With these demands in mind LIOS has been looking closer to Cyber Security for SCADA systems.
