The measurement and control of temperature plays a key role in achieving the goals of the European Green Deal for a low-carbon energy system. Fibre-optic thermometry is an emerging technology that can improve the measurement of temperature in extreme environments for energy providers and the industry sector due to distributed sensing and immunity to electromagnetic fields. However, fibre optic thermometers exhibit cross sensitivities to other quantities (e.g. strain, vibration, humidity) and ageing effects that need to be investigated, quantified and minimised to obtain traceable and reliable measurements. Therefore, this project aims to overcome the limitations that prevent the widespread use of fibre-optic thermometry by creating a dedicated European metrological infrastructure addressing research (e.g. measurement uncertainty), testing (e.g. industrial case studies), calibration (e.g. services and guides), and training (e.g. stakeholder workshop).
