“…Moreover, they are not commercially attractive due to the set-up complexity and cost of implementation. The three most popular OBS techniques commonly engaged for junction temperature measurement in power switching devices are the TSOP [ 45 ], IRC [ 46 ], and FBG [ 47 ], as highlighted in Figure 1 . Unlike electrical and physical sensing techniques that are invasive to the system, OBS techniques are spatially separated from the sensing circuit and the device, since they operate on light signals.…”

“…Hence, Equation (10) considers wavelength shift due to the temperature and strain; however, in the case of junction temperature measurement, only the effect of temperature is required. The external strain on the FBG can be eliminated by using a tube or rigid housing, which additionally protects the sensor from mechanical damage [ 47 ]. In this case, Equation (10), can then be rewritten as:

Recent advancements in power electronic switches provide effective control and operational stability of power grid systems. Junction temperature is a crucial parameter of power-switching semiconductor devices, which needs monitoring to facilitate reliable operation and thermal control of power electronics circuits and ensure reliable performance. Over the years, various junction temperature measurement techniques have been developed, engaging both non-optical and optical-based methods, highlighting their advancements and challenges. This review focuses on several optical sensing-based junction temperature measuring techniques used for power-switching devices such as metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). A comprehensive summary of recent developments in infrared camera (IRC), thermal sensitive optical parameter (TSOP), and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensing techniques is provided, shedding light on their merits and challenges while providing a few possible future solutions. In addition, calibration methods and remedies for obtaining accurate measurements are discussed, thus providing better insight and directions for future research.

“…The vital thermal measurement of interest is commonly the switch junction temperature, where conventional sensing devices, such as TCs and RTDs, are challenged and impractical/impossible to use. FBG size and EMI immunity can offer considerable advantages in this application and provide the ability to monitor further physical measurements of interest [19,[89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97]. This is a growing research area with limited work currently available where studies on the direct on-chip FBG sensing applications on standard insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) devices have largely revolved around exploring the possibility of acquiring accurate point temperatures.…”

This paper presents a review of the recent trends and the current state of the art in the application of fiber optic fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) sensing technology to condition the monitoring (CM) and testing of practical electric machinery and the associated power equipment. FBG technology has received considerable interest in this field in recent years, with research demonstrating that the flexible, multi-physical, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) immune in situ sensing of a multitude of physical measurands of CM interest is possible and cannot be obtained through conventional sensing means. The unique FBG sensing ability has the potential to unlock many of the electric machine CM and design validation restrictions imposed by the limitations of conventional sensing techniques but needs further research to attain wider adoption. This paper first presents the fundamental principles of FBG sensing. This is followed by a description of recent FBG sensing techniques proposed for electric machinery and associated power equipment and a discussion of their individual benefits and limitations. Finally, an outlook for the further application of this technique is presented. The underlying intention is for the review to provide an up-to-date overview of the state of the art in this area and inform future developments in FBG sensing in electric machinery.
