Kablo Kesitinin Yeraltı XLPE Kablolarında Kısmi Deşarj Konumlandırmasına Etkisi

Abstract

Yer altı kablolarında sık sık PD olayı yaşanmaktadır. Zamanla bu PD’ler kalıcı ve tehlikeli arızalara neden olarak kablolarda geri döndürülemez hasarlara ve dolayısıyla arz güvenliğinde azalmaya neden olabilir. Bu nedenle PD’lerin yerlerinin tespit edilmesi ve kalıcı arızaya dönmeden müdahale edilmesi gerekmektedir. PD konumu temel yürüyen dalga denklemleri ile tespit edilebilmektedir. Bu nedenle kablo kesitinin PD konumuna etkisi kaçınılmazdır. Bu çalışmada farklı kablo kesitlerinde aynı PD konumu içi farklı mesafeler bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuçlar bir kablo fiderinin EMTP-ATP Draw’da kapsamlı simülasyon modeli üzerinde gösterilmiştir. Simülasyon verileri gerçek arazi ile uyumludur.

Effect of the Cable Cross-Section for Locating Partial Discharges in Underground XLPE Cables

Abstract

Partial discharge (PD) frequently occurs in underground cables. Gradually, these discharges can lead to permanent and hazardous faults, causing severe damage to the cable insulation and distribution in the service quality. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately locate PD sources and intervene before they evolve into irreversible failures. PD location can be determined using fundamental traveling wave equations. Therefore, cable cross-section significantly affects the cable parameters and eventually performance of PD localization method is hindered. In this study, it was observed that identical PD sources yielded different location estimates when cable cross-sections are varied. These results were demonstrated through a comprehensive simulation model of a cable feeder developed in EMTP-ATP Draw program using actual field data.
