Abstract:
A method and system for operating fiber optic monitoring systems utilizing solar panels, batteries, and an interrogator system with associated electronics for operating in cold climates.

Claim (Index 5):
A system for operating fiber optic monitoring systems utilizing solar panels, batteries, and an interrogator system with associated electronics for operating in cold climates comprising:\n a. a heat pipe deployed below the ground surface at a depth below which the ground is frozen in winter conditions; b. an interrogator system and associated electronics positioned above ground level; c. at least one solar panel positioned above ground oriented toward incoming sunlight for providing power to the interrogator system; d. one or more battery systems for storing excess power from the one or more solar panels and powering the interrogator system during inactive periods of the at least one solar panel; and e. wherein the heat pipe utilizes internal fluids chosen so that that the range of temperatures and pressures fall within the two-phase region of the fluid during the winter months so that evaporation and condensation can occur.
