Abstract
A system and method using both static and transient modeling of power cables coupled with real time measurements of distributed temperature profiles of both the cable and it's immediate environment to optimize the current loads of the power cable. The optical fibers used for measuring distributed temperature profiles can be integrated directly into the monitored power cables or be deployed alongside the power cables, including using the optical fibers deployed in optical power ground wire systems.
