Based on the need for real-time sag monitoring of Overhead Power Lines (OPL) for electricity transmission, this article presents the implementation of a hardware and software system for online monitoring of OPL cables. Power monitoring using distributed fiber optic sensing technology, the OptaSense Integrated Smart Sensing solution for power cables pinpoints the root cause of cable failure on line, resulting in quicker response and repair time. By combining short circuit detection with third party intervention. Abstract—The overhead power transmission line, as an im-portant component of equipment for long-distance power trans-mission, is threatened by icing and galloping, which will lead to equipment troubles and cause huge economic loss. Since the optical fiber, embedded inside or attached to the Power Cable, itself is used as the temperature sensor, this system is considered as the best solution for continuous measurement of cable.

In this study, we demonstrate the measurement of electric power using an optical ground wire (OPGW). The tests were conducted on an OPGW cable from a high-voltage transmission line in Sines, Portugal, operating at 400 kV. Overhead Lines with Fiber Optical Groundwires (OPGW) have become a key component in these networks, supporting reliable communication and power.
