Fibre Optics within Renewable Energy
WIND TURBINES
Ensuring wind turbine reliability can be difficult due to the widely fluctuating temperatures and high vibration. However, fibre optic cables work well as long as they are suitably protected in these harsh and challenging conditions.
SOLAR ELECTRICITY
To optimise the conversion of solar energy into electricity reliable monitoring is needed. Fibre optics are crucial for the data links required.
MONITORING ISSUES
The use of fibre optics allows wear and tear, particularly to the vulnerable wid turbine gearbox, to be monitored, ensuring any issues are identified and managed before they progress.
