Abstract

Electrical system monitoring applications are of increasing importance given recent trends towards electrification driving adoption of renewables and electric vehicles, for example. Thermal and acoustic signatures play an important role in health monitoring while electrical and magnetic field signatures can provide information about operational state. Optical fiber sensors are of particular interest for electrical system applications because of the compatibility with deployment in electrified systems without concerns for electromagnetic interference (EMI) or additional potential risks due to the presence of electrical sensor wires or power at the sensing location, particularly for medium voltage electrical systems. In this presentation, an overview of recent work in optical fiber-based sensing for electrical asset monitoring applications will be discussed in detail. Plasmonic sensors integrated with engineered nanomaterials will be discussed for thermal and other health monitoring applications while interferometric sensors will be discussed for acoustics and also magnetic fields and electrical current sensing. New directions in fiber-based sensing applications will also be discussed moving into the future.
