Monitoring the Wind Farms of the Future

FOSA
FOSA

UCB researchers have been working closely with engineers…to identify and evaluate technologies that can assess the structural health of wind turbine towers and identify performance losses without the need for repetitive and costly manual inspection. Due to the massive scale of the towers, distributed sensing technologies that can measure strain and vibration over long distances continuously have been given attention. Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) has been selected as a promising subfield of technologies….Supported by…[FOSA member] Optasense, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) was also put to the test.

FOSA Presents 2023 Champion of Innovation Award to Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and J.D. Vance (R-OH)

The Fiber Optic Sensing Association (FOSA) announced the winners of its annual Champion of Innovation Award. FOSA selected Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and J.D. Vance (R-OH) based on their extraordinary leadership in the 118th Congress toward enhancing the safety and security of the U.S. rail system. Distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS), FOSA’s technology focus, is ideally suited to applications in rail where fiber optic cables running parallel to tracks improve safety through detection of pedestrians, monitoring of freight and passenger traffic, and immediate detection and locational pinpointing of both track and rolling stock defects.
