Optical Sensors and Their Fusion in a Quasi-Smart Structure for Real-Time Vibration Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance of Large Power Electric Power Generators
Optical accelerometers developed in both fiber and integrated optics technologies and several traditional sensors are integrated in a quasi-smart structure for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance of large Electric Power Generators. The structures were properly tested in field trials.
