Application of FBG Sensing Technology in Hydroelectric Power - Fiber Bragg Grating Application - FBG Sensor Application - FBG Demodulator Application

Fiber bragg grating (FBG) sensing technology is a highly versatile and reliable sensing technology that finds numerous applications in the field of hydropower. Below are some of the specific applications of fiber bragg grating (FBG) sensing technology in the hydropower industry:

 

Structural health monitoring

Fiber bragg grating sensing technology can be used for structural health monitoring (SHM) of various hydropower components, such as dams, penstocks, and turbines. By measuring strain and temperature changes, fiber bragg grating sensors can help detect potential failures and structural damage in real-time.
