Abstract
A monitoring system and method for broken wires in PCCP based on distributed optical fiber sensing relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing. The monitoring system for broken wires in PCCP comprises a Sagnac interferometer, a Φ-OTDR system, a dual loopback system and a signal processing system. The Sagnac interferometer comprises a first laser, a first optical coupler, a first delay optical fiber, a Faraday rotating mirror and a first photodetector. The Φ-OTDR system comprises a second laser, a second optical coupler, an acousto-optic modulator, a circulator, a third optical coupler and a second photodetector. The dual loopback system comprises a wavelength division multiplexer and a second delay optical fiber. The invention solves the problems of low positioning accuracy, limited frequency measurement range, detection dead zone and high computing pressure in monitoring broken wires in PCCP.
