Home of Energy Conferences. Peer-to-peer Conferences for the European Energy Industry since 2007.
As the demand for renewable energy sources escalates and electricity needs expand, grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) have become pivotal in helping power networks transform to meet the rising energy demand worldwide.
Prisma Photonics s is leading this transformation with advanced fiber-optic monitoring and detection solutions, enhancing grid capacity, reliability, and resilience. By combining AI-based diagnostics of real-time monitoring and data collection capabilities, Prisma Photonics is on a mission to streamline the path toward a more reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective energy future for power utilities worldwide.
Turning Fiber Optics into Grid Intelligence
While the global energy landscape shifts toward renewable sources and grapples with increasingly complex demands, the need for more resilient and intelligent power grids has never been more critical.
At the core of Prisma Photonics' solution is its unique Hyper-Scan Fiber Sensing technology, which repurposes existing optical fibers into a wide-reaching network of intelligent sensing without the need to install any sensors. The optical fiber itself becomes the sensor. The system, which enables safe grid capacity expansion through Dynamic Line Rating (DLR), provides real-time, detailed insights into power lines' temperatures, sag, and the cooling effect of the winds that blow over the lines. By transforming existing fiber optics into advanced monitoring systems at scale, utilities can enhance grid capacity and resilience without having to make significant infrastructure changes on their journey toward a reliable, sustainable, and economically efficient energy future.
Key Advantages of Prisma Photonics' Fiber-Optic Technology
? Non-Intrusive Deployment: PrismaPower eliminates the need for extra hardware installations on the wires, towers, or any cumbersome sensor deployment processes. This approach minimizes deployment costs, reduces timeframes, and lessens service disruption.
? Comprehensive Real-Time Monitoring: The system provides complete visibility into grids over vast distances, enabling operators to monitor conditions and performance metrics in real-time.
? Advanced Classification: PrismaPower can detect and classify environmental changes, ensuring that no critical event goes unnoticed. The system's signal-to-noise ratio reduces false positives and conserves valuable resources by pinpointing anomalies down to the specific tower and span.
? Enhanced Grid Resilience and Security: The technology proactively identifies and localizes potential issues, such as electrical faults and weather-based events, such as icing and asset vandalism, allowing for timely interventions that strengthen grid resilience.
? Optimized Capacity Management: The system optimizes grid capacity by monitoring factors like wind and temperature impacts on line ratings, facilitating efficient and safe power transmission.
? Scalability: Capable of monitoring extensive areas with a single deployment, PrismaPower is cost-effective for large networks and adaptable to expanding infrastructure needs.
A Pioneering Partnership with the New York Power Authority (NYPA)
Prisma Photonics has been collaborating with the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to tackle the challenges posed by icing on power lines across the state's grid. Utilizing their Hyper-Scan Fiber Sensing technology, Prisma Photonics enabled real-time, precise monitoring of transmission lines over extensive distances. This has proven crucial in harsh winters where icing can severely affect the grid's performance. The fiber-optic sensors installed leverage existing infrastructure to monitor changes and stresses on the lines, providing NYPA with actionable data to prevent outages and maintain a consistent and reliable power service to their regions even under severe weather conditions. The collaboration between NYPA and Prisma Photonics not only enhances grid resilience but also supports NYPA’s strategic goals toward a carbon-neutral energy system.
