SUBMARINE POWER CABLE ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FOR MARINE ENERGY APPLICATIONS

摘要

This paper reviews the constructional details of single-core and three-core AC power submarine cables. The inductance and capacitance electric circuit parameters are then evaluated in terms of the geometry, electromagnetic, and electrostatic (dielectric) properties of the conductors and insulation of the cable. Given the electric circuit parameters, two-port network models are then evaluated which allows the determination of steady state electrical performance characteristics of the cables. The study examines the effect of the cable length on the receiving end (cable output) voltage, active, reactive power and performance indices such as transmission efficiency and voltage regulation.
