Return to Session PARTIAL DISCHARGE DETECTION IN POWER CABLES: PRACTICAL LIMITS AS A FUNCTION OF CABLE LENGTH

چکیده
Power cables behave as transmission lines as regards partial discharge (PD) pulse propagation. Attenuation and dispersion phenomena have, therefore, great influence on the detectability of PD pulses, particularly when long cable routes and detection from terminals are considered. This paper presents an approximate model to infer PD pulse waveform as a function of the distance travelled along the cable and shows results that can provide practical limits for PD detection in cable routes when using IEC 60270compliant and/or ultra wideband detectors. Considerations on the effect of calibrator characteristics on sensitivity check procedures are, eventually, reported.

Return to Session THE USE OF INSULATED WIRES MILLIKEN CONDUCTORS IN HIGH VOLTAGE POWER TRANSMISSION UNDERGROUND AC LINES
These last years have pointed out a significant increase of the power that needs to be transported by underground power cables. As a consequence, large cross section conductors, up to 2500mm2 are now customarily used. The CIGRE group B1-03 has completed in 2005 a work that analyses the actual AC resistance of these large cross section conductors as a function of their design. The authors discus...

The ongoing deregulation of the energy market has had up to now a strong impact on the maintenance strategies of most utilities. Especially, the increasingly service aged population of distribution class cables influences the reliability of the distribution network. Thus, field-testing is required to assess the severity of the degradation and to determine the cables, which require urgent replac...

A genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize a tree-structured power distribution network considering optimal cable sizing. For minimizing the total cost of the network, a mixed-integer programming model is presented determining the optimal sizes of cables with minimized location-allocation cost. For designing the distribution lines in a power network, the primary factors must be considered as m...
متن کاملAdvanced technique for partial discharge detection and analysis in power cables
Polymeric cables are the most common choice for transmission and distribution in populated areas, as well as for the connection of components (transformers, GIS, etc.) in new power stations, replacing paper-oil cables. Indeed, they do possess superior characteristics with respect to oil-filled cables. As an example, they do require lower maintenance, they are lighter (easier to deploy) and, in ...
