TECCON2

About the Project

Acordo de Cooperação em P&D entre INESC P&D Brasil e INESCTEC para participação no projeto TECCON2

The goal of the project is to develop a polymeric insulator with 230 kV insulation class, equipped with optical fibre sensors for monitoring currents and temperatures. In addition, a supervisory system based on computational intelligence models for data retrieval and processing will be developed. Relevant information on the condition of power lines will be obtained by the sensors located at the tower, through a measurement unit, and sent via OPGW cables to the management and control centre. A feeding system will be designed to provide the necessary energy to the measurement unit.

Applied Photonics

From fundamental science to real-world innovation: at our Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP), we explore optical phenomena as a unique toolbox for innovation in micro- and nanofabrication, optical, physical, and biochemical sensors, and platforms for analogue simulation and quantum computing. Our researchers focus on developing systems capable of operating in contexts where precise and reliable sensing is essential (industry, environment or biomedicine), as well as nonlinear optical devices for building quantum analogue simulations and computing platforms. Our advances in photonic sensing enable their use in extreme environments, e.g., outer space or deep sea. Based on a non-siloed organisation, the solutions we develop through the study of light and photons require multidisciplinarity and close, cooperative work across our various research domains. With our expertise in photonics and electronic systems integration, we explore the potential for technology transfer to the emerging national and international photonics industry.
