Summary
Documents
This project is addressing an unknown entity in the Thermomechanical forces in XPLE cables. The scope of the project is to test different temperature conditions (that are indicative of that experienced during load variations) by heating the cable and observing the results.
Benefits
This project will be successful if the cables are modelled successfully at operating temperatures agreed with the suppliers. A further success would be if National Grid could implement an increased ratings recommendation based upon this work (this would need to be complemented by other work).
This project will therefore be successful if we increase our level of knowledge on the behavioural aspects of heated cables.
