The paper reports the application of the distributed optical fiber sensing technology and the FBG sensing technology in bridge strain monitoring; the overall changeable characteristics of the whole structure can be obtained through the distributed optical fiber sensing technology (BOTDA), meanwhile the accurate information of local important parts of the structure can be obtained through the optical fiber Bragg grating sensor (FBG), which can improve the accuracy of the monitoring. FBG sensor has a high sensitivity, but it can only realize the measurement of local discrete points for the quasidistributed sensing. BOTDA can realize the long distance and distributed measurement, but its spatial resolution is not high. FBG and BOTDA were applied together in bridge monitoring in this test, taking full advantage of the distributed BOTDA on the overall strain measurements of the structure, as well as monitoring the key parts by the arrangement of FBG. The combined application of BOTDA and FBG can achieve the overall monitoring from point to line and then to the surface and, therefore, obtain more comprehensive information on the strain of the test structure.

The new generation of smart substation puts forward higher requirements to sensing technology. Based on the needs of these requirements, four kinds of special optical fiber sensing technology in power systems were researched: all-optical current transformer, distributed temperature sensing technology, fiber grating vibration sensing technology and fiber Bragg grating sensing technology. These kinds of optical fiber sensing technology for the new generation of smart substation to enhance its performance were analyzed. Finally, based on the fiber Bragg grating sensing technology, the online oil and winding temperature monitoring system was constructed for the new generation of smart substation.

In the process of long-distance transportation of different gas, the remote pipeline plays an irreplaceable role in energy transmission. When the pipeline is laid in remote areas for a long distance, it is easy to be influenced by geological disasters and complex working conditions, which may lead to corrosion and leakage. therefore, it is necessary to conduct pipeline gas real-time safety monitoring. An optical fiber gas leakage synchronous monitoring system was proposed and demonstrated based on distributed optical sensing technology for simultaneous multi-gas measurements. In this study, we discuss that the principle of multi-gas leakage synchronous monitoring system is investigated and then validated by the theoretical simulation experiments. Furthermore, gas concentration and leakage location discrimination tests are also conducted in laboratory. The experimental results show that the output intensity values increased obviously along with the gas concentration changes, and the response time of the sensor system is about 40 seconds, and it’s concluded that the multi-gas leakage synchronous monitoring system based on distributed optical fiber sensing technology exhibited good sensing and location discrimination performance.

In order to study the deformation of bored pile, it is necessary to monitor the strain of the pile. The distributed optical fiber sensing technology realizes the integration of sensing and transmission, which is incomparable with traditional point monitoring method. In this paper, the Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer (BOTDR) distributed optical fiber sensing technology is used to monitor the deformation of the bored pile. The raw data monitored by BOTDR is processed by the wavelet basis function, that can perform noise removal processing. Three different methods of noise removal are chosen. Through the processing, the db5 wavelet is used to decompose the deformation data of bored pile monitored by BOTDR into two layers. The decomposed high-frequency signal is denoised by the Stein-based unbiased risk threshold, rigrsure. The decomposed data is smoothed by the translational mean method, and the final data after denoising and smoothing processing is real and reliable. The results of this study will provide data support for the deformation characteristics of bored pile, and also show the advantages of distributed optical fiber sensing technology.
