Model and experimental verification of SOP transient in OPGW based on direct strike lightning
Abstract:
We introduce inductive lightning and direct lightning that affect the state of polarization (SOP) of signal light in optical ground wire (OPGW) of power transmission line, deduce the helical component of direct lightning on OPGW, and establish the transient model of signal SOP in OPGW based on direct lightning. We also monitored actual optical transport network (OTN) systems deployed on OPGW in thunderstorm-prone areas for three months, recorded error codes and SOP transients of more than 1.5 Mrad/s using a bit error rate tester and a polarimeter accordingly. The highest SOP transient rate was up to 43 Mrad/s. Finally, we verify the accuracy of the model through simulation and experiment comparison.

Attenuation
When constant series resistance and shunt conductance are present, voltage and current equations are modified. The propagation constant indicates that voltage and current waves consist of both forward and backward traveling components. These waves attenuate as they propagate, with the attenuation factor related to the resistance and conductance. In a...
