  • Future proofing your generation system with power control and Communication Cables
    IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 1991
    Co-Authors: J. Pryma, G. Spisak, W.d. Wilkens
    Abstract:

    Electric power generation facilities continue to undergo rapid technological change. Trends and anticipated developments in medium and high-voltage power, control and Communication Cables that will impact the design, construction, retrofit, and maintenance of power generation systems are discussed. Included is a discussion of the probable impact of optical fiber technology. Careful selection of the wire and cable used in power generation facilities will minimize future upgrade, retrofit, and maintenance costs. The proper application of wire and cable will also help assure trouble-free operation of present and future electrical power generating systems. >

  • Sensors to Increase the Security of Underwater Communication Cables: A Review of Underwater Monitoring Sensors.
    Sensors (Basel Switzerland), 2020
    Co-Authors: Dimitrios Eleftherakis, Raul Vicen-bueno
    Abstract:

    Underwater Communication Cables transport large amounts of sensitive information between countries. This fact converts these Cables into a critical infrastructure that must be protected. Monitoring the underwater cable environment is rare and any intervention is usually driven by cable faults. In the last few years, several reports raised issues about possible future malicious attacks on such Cables. The main objective of this operational research and analysis (ORA) paper is to present an overview of different commercial and already available marine sensor technologies (acoustic, optic, magnetic and oceanographic) that could be used for autonomous monitoring of the underwater cable environment. These sensors could be mounted on different autonomous platforms, such as unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) or autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). This paper analyses a multi-threat sabotage scenario where surveying a transatlantic cable of 13,000 km, (reaching water depths up to 4000 m) is necessary. The potential underwater threats identified for such a scenario are: divers, anchors, fishing trawls, submarines, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and AUVs. The paper discusses the capabilities of the identified sensors to detect such identified threats for the scenario under study. It also presents ideas on the construction of periodic and permanent surveillance networks. Research study and results are focused on providing useful information to decision-makers in charge of designing surveillance capabilities to secure underwater Communication Cables.

  • ISR sensors to increase the security of underwater Communication Cables: Case study for coastal and shallow water areas
    OCEANS 2019 MTS IEEE SEATTLE, 2019
    Co-Authors: Raul Vicen-bueno, Dimitrios Eleftherakis
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a study on the different threats underwater Communication Cables are exposed. The study goes towards the identification of the sensors that could be used to detect such threats. Sensors of different kind have been studied and reported, such as acoustic, magnetometers, optical and oceanographic. The case study selected shows the complexity of surveying long underwater Communication Cables (1,000+ km long). The study has been focused in coastal and shallow waters, where most of the risks are identified and concentrated (from results of other studies). Studies for deep water will be provided in further studies. The complexity of developing a capability to survey and protect underwater Communication Cables is not only based on its length, but also in the different kind of threats these Cables are exposed. Random surveys as presented as alternatives, both in time (random dates) and space (random areas along the cable). Conclusions get to the point where the design of such a surveillance capability strongly depends on the strategic value the cable has for a given country. This would condition the level of effort and complexity of such capability.
