Abstract

Due to the increase of power load in the central area of big cities, the application of power cables are quickly increased. Compared with other laying methods, pipeline shows some significant advantages, and also some disadvantages such as the difficulty of obtaining its temperature distribution and setting its suitable ampacity. On the basis of FEM model of temperature field of 10kV underground pipe-laid power cables, the optimization design theory is applied to obtain the optimum scheme of current distribution of cable groups which is used as the reference value of rated ampacity of each cable. Compared with the traditional method, the optimization algorithm significantly improves the total ampacity of cable groups. The algorithm can be used to instruct the optimization design of power cables, and also to adjust the current of operating cables. The developed software is helpful for controlling the economic operation of pipe-laid power cables.
