Research of Smart Composite Insulator with Optical Fiber Bragg Grating

Abstract:

On-line monitoring of lightning,ice,short circuit on electric transmission line and insulator's operation state is of great significance to ensure the safe and stable operation of the electric transmission line.An intelligent composite insulator,in which the core rod has fiber Bragg gratings is developed.lightning,ice,short circuit on electric transmission line and insulator's operation state can be reflected by monitoring the center wavelengths of the fiber Bragg gratings.The temperature, strain response and electrical performance testing experiments on 110 kV fiber composite insulator were done,the result indicates that the optical fiber composite insulator can measure the temperature accurately;the load of composite insulator can be monitored approximately by no. 2 and no.4 monitoring sites;the110 kV fiber composite insulator’s dry lightning impulse withstand voltage is 421 kV,the normal polarity of steep wave impulse voltage withstand voltage is 434 kV(steepness:1206kV/μs),the negative polarity withstand voltage is 444 kV(steepness:1132kV/μs)and the dry power frequency withstand voltage is 230 kV at the altitude of 1970m.
