Abstract

An optical fiber composite overhead ground wire (OPGW) distributed ice-coating monitoring scheme based on Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer (BOTDR) temperature measurement is proposed and demonstrated. The thermodynamic factors affecting the temperature of the OPGW cable are analyzed, and the temperature variation characteristics of the icing and non-icing sections of the OPGW cable with different icing thicknesses are analyzed via finite-element analysis. The results of an OPGW icing experiment indicate that when the ambient temperature changes, there is an obvious hysteresis characteristic between the temperature changes of the icing and non-icing sections of the OPGW cable, which is related to the thickness of the ice. Thus, we propose a distributed OPGW cable icing monitoring system based on BOTDR temperature monitoring.
