With the continuous increase in the number and relevance of electric transmission lines and
distribution networks, there is a higher exposure to the magnetic fields generated by them …

The conceptual assessment of the rating conditions of power cables was addressed over
one century ago, with theories based on the physical and heat transfer properties of the …

The trend towards renewable energy comes along with a more and more decentralized
production of electric energy. As a consequence many countries will have to build hundreds …

A numerical study based on a control-volume formulation of the finite-difference method is
performed to determine the thermal resistance existing between an underground electrical …

Many factors affect the loading of the underground power cables, such as ambient
temperature, depth of laying of cable, number of parallel circuits of cable, and thermal …

The electrical cables ampacity mainly depends on the cable system operation temperature.
To achieve a better cable utilization and reduce the conservativeness typically employed in …

This study presents an algorithm to calculate the best ampacity of cable considering
economic aspects and uncertainty of affected parameters based on heuristic optimization …

In urban underground environment, a short-conduit is commonly used to provide
mechanical protection for the cable. The cable section buried in the short-conduit may …

The aim of this paper is to calculate the temperature distribution of a cable conductor and the
soil surrounding the cable under cyclic loading conditions, taking into account the formation …

This paper analyzes the thermal effects derived from the use of different screen shapes
when shielding the magnetic field generated by underground power cables. A parametric …
