Intensity-Modulated Fiber-Optic Voltage Sensors for Power Distribution Systems
We design, test, and analyze fiber-optic voltage sensors based on optical reflection from a piezoelectric transducer. By controlling the physical dimensions of the device, we can tune the frequency of its natural resonance to achieve a desired sensitivity and bandwidth combination. In this work, we fully characterize sensors designed with a 2 kHz characteristic resonance, experimentally verifying a readily usable frequency range from approximately 10 Hz to 3 kHz. Spectral noise measurements indicate detectable voltage levels down to 300 mV rms at 60 Hz, along with a full-scale dynamic range of 60 dB, limited currently by the readout electronics, not the inherent performance of the transducer in the sensor. Additionally, we demonstrate a digital signal processing approach to equalize the measured frequency response, enabling accurate retrieval of short-pulse inputs. Our results suggest the value and applicability of intensity-modulated fiber-optic voltage sensors for measuring both steady-state waveforms and broadband transients which, coupled with the straightforward and compact design of the sensors, should make them effective tools in electric grid monitoring.
