Subsea Power Cable Monitoring with SmartVisionTM and RTTR Netherlands The operators selected the AP Sensing Long Range / Singlemode DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing) solution with a 30 km measurement range and 2 channels: A longer range and 1 channel more than was necessary, to be prepared for potential future expansion. The DTS unit itself is located on the offshore platform (pictured below). The DTS measurements are sent along singlemode fiber to the onshore Engie IT infrastructure. The oil platform operator Engie needed a monitoring solution for their medium voltage (35kV) subsea power cable, which provides the power for the platform operations. The cable runs some 14 km subsea and is monitored for about 1 km above ground. AP Sensing was selected not only because of their ruggedne
