CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Application No. 62/017477, filed on June 26, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] Monitoring vibration may be helpful in various applications. For example, an electronic submersible pump (ESP) may be used for a number of purposes (e.g., water extraction, slurry pumping) in subsurface and other environments. When vibration of the ESP is monitored, failures may be predicted before they occur, thereby minimizing disruption of operation and potential collateral damage to other components. When vibration monitoring is done for a component like the ESP, the measurement must be of localized strain. That is, the measurement should be distributed over no more than a few inches of the component. Failure prediction may be challenged without such localized measurements.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0005] Referring now to the drawings wherein like elements are numbered alike in the several Figures:
[0006] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a vibration detector according to an embodiment of the invention;
[0007] FIG. 2 shows a sensor of the vibration detector shown in FIG. 1; and
[0008] FIG. 3 is a process flow of a method of obtaining vibration measurements according to embodiments of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0009] As noted above, monitoring vibration of a component requires measuring localized strain. In addition, high spectral resolution and sampling rates in excess of 120 Hertz (Hz) are required. Currently, cavity-based techniques and grating-based techniques are two types of optical methods for acquiring strain measurements from a modified optical cable. Cavity-based techniques (e.g., optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR), phase modulation) involve measuring the change in length of an optical cavity formed by a pair of reflectors. Thus, these techniques are generally limited to measuring strain over relatively long lengths (on the order of a meter), and the measurement of dynamic strain (vibration) using cavity-based techniques is limited to integration of the measurement over the length of the cavity. Grating-based techniques measure a change in spectral response of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG), which occurs as the structure of the grating changes due to a strain state of the fiber. Because gratings generally only span a few centimeters of the fiber, a FBG-based approach provides localized strain measurements but presents challenges with respect to interrogating the fiber fast enough to perform vibration measurements at a meaningful sampling frequency. Embodiments of the systems and methods discussed herein relate to detecting vibration by performing localized OFDR measurements using a vibration sensor comprising three broadband reflectors. Based on the OFDR implementation, distributed vibration measurements may be obtained simultaneously from a series of the vibration sensors at different locations along the fiber.
[0010] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a vibration detector 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. The vibration detector 100 is shown with multiple sensors 110, which may be located at different locations along the optical fiber 120. As shown in FIG. 1, the sensors 110 need not be uniformly spaced along the optical fiber 120. Each sensor 110 includes three broadband reflectors 115, 117. The center reflector 115 and each of the two side reflectors 117 may be separated by a distance (Δχ) on the order of 6 inches or less (total length of a sensor 110 may be on the order of 12 inches or less). The reflectivity (Rc) of the center reflector 115 is at least two times greater than the reflectivity (Rs) of each of the side reflectors 117. This difference in reflectivity (between Rc and Rs) may be achieved in a number of known ways, including but not limited a discontinuity (e.g., air gap) in the optical fiber 120, ultra violet light (UV) induced broadband reflectors, and chirped fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) which have a broadband response over a specified frequency range. Each of the reflectors 115, 117, 130 may be a different type of broadband reflector, and embodiments discussed herein are not limited based on the specific way that the reflectors 115, 117, 130 are fabricated.
[0011] The light source 150 is injected into the optical fiber 120 through a circulator 140, and resulting interference signals are directed through the circulator 140 to the detector 160. The light source 150 may be a swept laser and produces coherent light over a liner range of wavenumbers. The light from the light source 150, channeled through the circulator 140, encounters a broadband reference reflector 130 and a delay coil 125. The length of the delay coil 125 is greater than a distance d between the first and last sensor 110 locations. Thus, while there is no design limit on the locations of the sensors 1 10, and the locations may be selected such that different sensors 110 monitor vibration of different components of a system, for example, the related size of the delay coil 125 may place a practical limit on the locations (maximum distance between locations) of the sensors 110. For example, when the vibration detector 100 is used in a subsurface environment (e.g., in a borehole) to monitor vibration of an ESP or other device, the delay coil 125 size and, consequently, the maximum distance between the first and last sensors 110, may have a practical limit. The delay coil 125 facilitates isolation of interference only with the reference reflector 130. That is, interference among reflections from the different sensors 110 are eliminated based on the delay coil 125, and only interference between reflections of each sensor 110 with the reflection from the reference reflector 130 are isolated for further processing to determine vibration. The detector 160 that receives the reflections from the optical fiber 120 may include or be coupled to a processing system 170 that includes an input interface 173, one or more processors 175, one or more memory devices 177, and an output interface 179. [0012] FIG. 2 shows a sensor 1 10 of the vibration detector 100 shown in FIG. 1. The indicated δ corresponds to a change in the length Δχ because of vibration and is a function of time. The interference signal resulting from each sensor 1 10 (based on interference with reflections from the reference reflector 130) is given by:
/(?) = i¾ o 4 (lii)- Δχ - δ{ή)ν(ή + R{ ass(4mtL(t)v(t}) + R, co 4mi∑it )÷ Ax + δ )ν(ή)
[EQ. 1]
L is the length between the center reflector 1 15 and the reference reflector 130, as shown in FIG. 2, and varies with time based on vibration, n is the index of refraction of the optical fiber 120, and v(t) is the instantaneous wavenumber of the light source 150 output. EQ. 1 may be written as:
Figure imgf000005_0001
As shown in EQ. 2, the interference signal represents an amplitude modulated signal.
Because of the center reflector 1 15, the carrier signal is never over-modulated. EQ. 2 indicates that the interference signal is mathematically equivalent to dual sideband transmitted carrier (DSBTC) amplitude modulation (AM). The amplitude modulation may be detected by known envelope detection methods, so that the exact distance between the sensor 1 10 and the reference reflector 130 does not need to be known to demodulate the signal. In other words, product detection is not necessary. Amplitude of the interference signal may then be obtained as:
Figure imgf000005_0002
r |ur-nQ. Ή
The amplitude signal shown in EQ. 3 represents a phase modulated signal. The oscillatory phase component, 5(t), of the phase modulated signal represents the vibration measurement. Thus, phase demodulation, by known techniques, may be used to obtain the vibration measurement from the signal shown in EQ. 3.
[0013] FIG. 3 is a process flow of a method of obtaining vibration measurements according to embodiments of the invention. At block 310, obtaining interference signals includes disposing the vibration detector 100 such that each of one or more sensors 1 10 is coupled to a component (e.g., ESP) whose vibration is of interest. Isolating the interference signal from each sensor 1 10, at block 320, is based on the processor 175 performing a Fourier transform on the detector 160 output and implementing a bandpass filter to isolate the interference signal associated with each sensor 1 10. The Fourier transform provides frequency as a function of length (between the reference reflector 130 and sensor 110) based on the swept wavenumber of the light source 150 output. Thus, the value of L for a given sensor 110 may be used to determine the interference signal associated with that sensor 110. Once the interference signal for a given sensor 110 (given by EQs. 1 and 2) is isolated, performing amplitude demodulation at block 330 gives the amplitude signal shown in EQ. 3. The amplitude demodulation may be performed with known techniques such as envelope detection. At block 340, performing phase demodulation may include using a Hilbert transform. At block 350, obtaining the vibration measurement is based on the phase demodulation, because the vibration is represented by the oscillatory phase component.
[0014] While one or more embodiments have been shown and described,
modifications and substitutions may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the present invention has been described by way of illustrations and not limitation.
