Field test and simulation of transients on the RTE 225 kV cable

摘要

In June 2014 the French TSO (Réseau de Transport d'Électricité - RTE) performed a field test on a 64 km 225 kV XLPE underground cable. This paper presents the validation of the cable model from field test measurements. In the first part, the cable impedance and admittance calculations are compared to the per-unit-length parameters evaluated from field test results. In the second part the field tests are simulated in an Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) to validate the cable model.
