Optics11 is at the forefront of innovation in the energy sector, specializing in advanced fiber optic sensing solutions. Our focus is on revolutionizing the monitoring and diagnosis of partial discharge (PD) in high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) assets. At Enlit 2023, we proudly showcase our cutting-edge technology and expertise in tackling some of the most challenging issues in energy infrastructure management.
Core Capabilities:
-
Partial Discharge Monitoring:
- Our flagship product, OptiFender, represents a groundbreaking achievement in the world of partial discharge monitoring. It is the world's first passive PD solution, utilizing fiber optic technology.
- OptiFender can detect PD signals as low as 10 pC, ensuring early detection and prevention of potential failures in HV and MV systems.
-
Fiber Optic Acoustic Emission (AE) Sensors:
- These non-metallic, galvanically isolated sensors are key components of our solutions. They offer unparalleled sensitivity and reliability in PD detection and localization.
-
Advanced Software Integration:
- Our dedicated software packages, equipped with Phase-Resolved Partial Discharge (PRPD) Pattern technology, facilitate real-time monitoring, data analysis, and PD localization.
-
Long-Distance, Remote Monitoring:
- Our optical signal technology allows for seamless monitoring over distances greater than 40km, ideal for remote and challenging locations.
-
Resistance to Electromagnetic Interferences:
- Our solutions thrive in environments where traditional electronic sensors fail, due to their immunity to electromagnetic and high voltage field interferences.
-
Adaptability to Harsh Environments:
- Designed to withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, lightning, and radiation, our sensors ensure consistent performance in the most demanding conditions.
Applications: Our technology is adaptable across various sectors within the energy industry:
- Power Transmission & Distribution
