Method of calculation of temperature parameters and service life of 10 kv cable lines

This study is based on the analysis of the methodology for calculating the temperature parameters of 10 kV cable lines and calculating the service life of insulation under various operating conditions, as well as identifying dependencies that allow the most accurate selection of cable parameters during operation at industrial facilities. The results of the study can be used to improve the energy efficiency of enterprises, and contribute to reducing the number of emergency failures of cable lines that may occur due to thermal breakdowns caused by incorrect choice of cable parameters under certain operating conditions, which may cause an increase in production costs in general. Conducting research and calculations of temperature parameters of cable lines at a voltage of 10 kV with different laying methods and with different capacity factors according to the climatology of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as identifying key dependencies that will enable to draw appropriate conclusions on the operation of cables in the conditions under consideration. The article uses methods for calculating temperature parameters and cable service life, as well as methods for processing the data obtained as a result of calculations, including the method of function approximation. Special software is also used to visualize the results obtained after the calculations. The results of calculations of temperature parameters of 10 kV cable lines for various laying methods, with different types of insulation and with different capacity factors according to climatology of the Republic of Tatarstan are presented. Calculations of the service life of cable lines under the conditions under study have been made and conclusions have been drawn on optimal cable loads that will not lead to premature thermal aging of insulation under certain operating conditions. The initial data for the calculations and the methodology used comply with GOST standards for cable lines. The results of the study and the calculations performed can be used to evaluate and select the optimal load of cable lines under selected conditions at the design stage of power supply systems.
