Title
Optimizing Medium Voltage Underground Distribution Network with Minimized Sheath and Armor Losses
Abstract
Circulating current losses in sheath and armor of solid bonded single core medium voltage underground cable system are studied by means of analytical and numerical calculations. Analytical calculations are performed according to the standard IEC60287-1-1 and numerical simulations are conducted with finite element based computational software COMSOL Multiphysics. Dependency of these losses on cable laying configuration, cable structure and operational parameters are investigated by several case studies. First, COMSOL Multiphysics model is verified by comparing losses obtained by analytical calculations for a single circuit. Then the verified model is used to calculate sheath and armor loss for different configurations of two parallel circuits. Sheath and armor loss varies with different configurations of two parallel circuits and the configurations having the maximum and minimum loss are identified. Using the same models, effect of harmonics on sheath and armor circulating current loss is investigated.
