  • •TenneT partners with ASN for advanced cable monitoring.
  • •The OptoDAS suite enables real-time detection of disturbances in long cables.
  • •The initiative supports the transition to sustainable energy in Europe.

TenneT has signed a framework agreement with Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) to implement advanced cable monitoring systems as part of its infrastructure upgrades for renewable energy sources. The OptoDAS suite from ASN utilizes frequency swept interrogation to monitor long optical cables, allowing for real-time detection of small disturbances over distances up to 150 km. The system includes Cable Threat Monitoring (CTM) software, which provides actionable alerts for potential cable damage. This initiative aims to enhance the reliability and security of TenneT's energy supply as Europe transitions to sustainable energy. Menno Buisman from TenneT emphasized ASN's expertise as crucial for maintaining high operational standards. Eric Bouvart from ASN expressed pride in supporting TenneT's projects for secure grid connections.
