Solid Cable Replacement Prioritisation

This project will carry out analysis on all, 33kV, 66kV and 132kV solid cables within UK Power Networks’ DNOs and create a HI model for all solids cables operating at, 33kV, 66kV and 132kV.

Benefits

The success of the project will be judged against the four objectives described above:

Linking of historic faults with asset registers to produce picture of historic cable faults (reason for fault, type of cable used, type of lay, age, location, etc.) leading to production of a table of historic faults.
Identification of factors that affect the likelihood of failure of a solid cable, leading to the production of a short report identifying trends to be considered what planning asset replacement of solid cables.
Collation of all asset registers to produce model with sufficient asset data to allow identification of high risk/customer cost beneficial cables.
Output of model – identification of cables where it is more beneficial to the customer to replace the cable rather than repair.
