Transmission Ampacity Improvement of EHV Submarine Cable

The improvement of the transmission capacity of the line of EHV submarine cable has become urgent issues that need to be addressed. The transmission capacity of the EHV submarine cable is mainly determined by the operating temperature of the submarine cable. Therefore, several cooling schemes are compared to analyze their cooling effect on the cable core temperature in this paper. For the water pipe cooling scheme, the cooling effect is the most significant when the velocity of the cooling water is slower than 0.1 m/s, increasing the number of cooling water pipes can effectively reduce the cable core temperature. For the wind cooling scheme, the cooling effect is the most significant when the velocity of the air is slower than 0.1 m/s, and the cooling effect is more significant with the air velocity. For the backfill soil cooling scheme, the cooling effect is more significant with the thermal conductivity of the backfill soil.
