Power Transmission & Distribution
Combining specialist optical technology with an in-depth knowledge of the Power transmission and distribution industry, Sensa delivers a range of solutions to optimize the management and operation of transmission and distribution assets.
Our fiber optic sensing solutions enable continuous monitoring of power circuit temperatures to deliver operational status, condition assessments and power circuit rating data. This essential information can help asset owners and asset operators manage the transmission and distribution networks in an optimized and cost effective manner.
Through business investment and expansion, our expertise has grown since the first power industry monitoring systems were utilized in 1991. Since then we have developed our products services and solutions to deliver continuous condition monitoring systems for:
- Underground power cables
- Power cable tunnels
- Submarine power cables
- Substation equipment
- Overhead lines
Sensing fibers are inherently immune to electromagnetic interference and provide a reliable, robust and technically advanced temperature measurement solution, ideal for use in the high voltage environments encountered in the transmission and distribution industry.
