Abstract
In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a high precision three-dimensional (3D) ellipse fitting correction method for optical fiber composite overhead ground wire (OPGW) galloping monitoring, based on weak fiber Bragg grating array. 3D ellipse formed by three outputs of the system is fitted by the coordinate rotation and least square methods, and direct current (DC) components and alternate current (AC) component coefficients of the three outputs are obtained. By differentiating and cross-multiplying the three outputs, those DC components are zeroized, AC component coefficients are normalized, and finally, the interference phase signal is calculated. The experimental results show that the proposed method can demodulate the vibration signals better, and the fitted R2 is above 0.99. The system is implemented on a 220 kV transmission line in the plateau region of Western China, forecasting a galloping period with a wavelength of about 60 m within the span accurately. This method demonstrates suitability for monitoring OPGW transmission line galloping events.
