Energy Generation and Distribution

Energy Infrastructure

Energy infrastructure – ranging from conventional power plants to wind and nuclear facilities – can benefit from Proximion’s distributed and array fiber-optic sensors.
These bespoke sensors can provide critical early detection of strain, temperature variation, and vibration in turbines, generators, and structural supports. In renewable energy, such as wind or hydro, optical sensors monitor blade load, bearing condition, and thermal flux, supporting predictive maintenance. Electromagnetic immunity sensors are particularly effective in monitoring high-voltage substations and converter stations, where electrical interference renders traditional sensors unreliable.
By integrating with control and SCADA systems, Proximion’s optical monitoring helps reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency.

Relevant applications:

Distributed strain and temperature sensors, electromagnetic immunity sensors, heat flux detectors, fiber-optic monitoring systems.

Examples:

  • Power plant condition monitoring — thermal and mechanical stress sensing in turbines and generators.
  • Wind energy — torque and strain monitoring on blades and nacelles.
  • Nuclear and cryogenic systems — fiber sensors for temperature and radiation monitoring.
  • High-voltage substations and HVDC converters — EMI-immune sensors for live equipment.
  • Oil and gas — distributed sensing for pipeline integrity and leak detection.
