Electric Power Distribution

Fiber optic solutions for power distribution monitoring

To ensure the safe and efficient operation of electric power distribution networks, electrical utilities need to protect, monitor, and control the diverse elements of their substations. However, the substation environment is very hostile with extreme temperatures, high levels of electromagnetic interference, power fluctuations, and even vibrations. Learn more about the role SEDI-ATI and its fiber optic solutions can play through examples of applications in the electric power distribution industry.

Nuclear Energy

Fiber optic solutions for the nuclear industry

SEDI-ATI Fibres Optiques is at the initiative of the collaborative project 3F2E (French Fiber Field for Extreme Environment), which was selected on October 19, 2021, to benefit from the French nuclear recovery plan.

The 3F2E project aims at developing metallic and/or carbon coatings on special optical fibers, allowing the use of sensors in extreme nuclear environments. This work will make it possible to set up a 100% Made in France integrated supply chain and guarantee national sovereignty over this strategic technology.

Discover the exceptional applications of nuclearized fiber optic assemblies on which SEDI-ATI has already developed strong expertise.

Green Energies

Fiber optic solutions for green energies

Due to the growing appetence for alternative-energy sources, also known as green energies such as wind, solar and hydro powers, there is a strong need for the supply of fiber-based solutions to monitor and control wind turbines and solar thermal farms for instance. The devices used in these applications must be able to withstand widely fluctuating temperatures, high levels of electromagnetic interference, power fluctuations, high vibrations, and even exposure to industrial oils. Learn more about SEDI-ATI’s contribution to this field.
