OptaSense Provides Flexible Solution for Pipeline Monitoring in Algeria Fiber-optic sensing system overcomes power requirement challenges The Challenge Pipelines around the world are often installed in remote locations, and in many cases, having a consistent power source can be problematic. Alternating current (AC) power is not always available so solar panels are sometimes used to provide direct current (DC) power along the pipeline. This can present a problem for operators who need to power an intrusion and leak-detection system along the pipeline, particularly if the system is unable to run using only one type of electrical current power. To meet the challenge presented in these remote environments, OptaSense delivers some of the longest fiber-optic-based pipeline moni
