This thesis presents an optical sensor network model designed to monitor temperature of transformers at multiple substations from one central location. Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) has been used as the optical sensing element for transformer temperature monitoring. Suitable FBG parameters and specifications have been investigated and modeled that fit best for this application. Optical sensor network is laid on top of the transmission line network. This reduced the cost of fiber installation. The wavelengths of backscattered light at different temperatures for the modeled Fiber Bragg Grating have been obtained. These values are used as a reference to find the actual temperature of the transformers from the central station. Different network topologies that can be implemented for such applications are presented and the most suitable one is assessed for link budget and cost analysis of the optical sensor network. The temperature sensing range is from 30°C to 90°C. The minimum temperature accuracy that can be achieved is about 0.010C. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is employed to identify individual transformers in the network at the central station. A Model to find an optimal node to place the optical sources is also presented. The temperature monitoring of standard IEEE transmission networks has been obtained.

This study has designed, developed, and tested a high temperature sensor based on Fiber Bragg grating. The new introduced interrogation system makes the sensor suitable for installation inside the power transformer. Unlike the existing fiber Bragg grating based temperature sensors, the interrogation system of the sensor is based on amplitude modulation (AM). The distinctive characteristics of the designed temperature sensor, in addition to inherent advantages of FBG is, its real-time monitoring, small size, and low cost. The sensor is tested in harsh environment at temperature starting from -27 ºC to 400 ºC. The long-term stability and reliability of the designed sensors of one sensor head is tested in furnace at 400 ºC for 338 hours. Furthermore, the sensor head was under test in 600 ºC for about 18 hours. The sensor head which is used in this experiment is fiber Bragg grating Corning SMF-28, Ge-doped optical fibers with 4% Ge content in its core. It was loaded with hydrogen prior to writing with 248 nm excimer laser. The Bragg wavelength of the two prepared sensors head for this work is around 1530 nm and 1550 nm. In this study, we used Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) light source as an input light for the sensor head. ASE light source makes it possible to have linear input light in two different ranges with 4 nm span. The sensors head Bragg wavelength is designed in the range in which the ASE light source spectrum is linear. The sensor has the Photodiode (PD) to convert the Bragg reflected spectrum power into its equivalent current.

The revised edition presents, extends, and updates a thorough analysis of the factors that cause and accelerate the aging of conductive and insulating materials of which transmission and distribution electrical apparatus is made. New sections in the second edition summarize the issues of the aging, reliability, and safety of electrical apparatus, as well as supporting equipment in the field of generating renewable energy (solar, wind, tide, and wave power). When exposed to atmospheric corrosive gases and fluids, contaminants, high and low temperatures, vibrations, and other internal and external impacts, these systems deteriorate; eventually the ability of the apparatus to function properly is destroyed. In the modern world of "green energy", the equipment providing clean, electrical energy needs to be properly maintained in order to prevent premature failure. The book’s purpose is to help find the proper ways to slow down the aging of electrical apparatus, improve its performance, and extend the life of power generation, transmission, and distribution equipment.
