New Methods to Diagnose the Ageing of Medium Voltage Cables and Accessories
Description
The “MEDECA” project aims to respond to the current challenge related to the diagnosis of the degradation of cables and splices in the medium-voltage underground network, contributing to the improvement of the management of this type of assets.
Issues related to the development of low-cost and minimally invasive measurement equipment and techniques are addressed, as well as the generation of life models that allow estimating the degradation state of these assets, even if no test data are available. In particular, this development focuses more specifically on splice diagnostics.
Objectives
Development of a methodology, together with specific tools, to quantify the aging of medium voltage subway cables, and more specifically of their splices. Specific objectives include:
