Visible Light Communications for Sensors

核电新建和工厂寿命延长将需要全面和经济高效地部署无线传感器，用于状态监测、仪表和控制。在许多领域，出于安全考虑，传统的射频无线通信不能使用。可见光通信（VLC）无线传感器提供了一种安全且无电磁干扰的数据通信方法。VLC是一种利用led（发光二极管）实现高速无线数据传输的创新技术。该项目将开发一系列基于VLC的传感器，这些传感器可用于现有和未来的核电站，以及采矿、石油和天然气勘探和生产等其他行业。

Nuclear power new build and plant life extension will require the comprehensive and cost-effective deployment of wireless sensors for condition monitoring, instrumentation and control. In many areas, for reasons of safety and security, conventional Radio Frequency wireless communication cannot be used. Visible Light Communications (VLC ) wireless sensors provide a secure and electromagnetic interference free data communication method. VLC is an innovative technology that enables high speed wireless data transmission using LEDs (light emitting diodes). The project will to lead to the development of a range of VLC based sensors that can be used both throughout existing and future nuclear power plants and in other industries such as mining and oil & gas exploration and production.
