Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a power cable and a method for transporting alternate current in an armoured cable.
  • an armoured cable is generally employed in application where mechanical stresses are envisaged.
  • the cable core or cores (typically three stranded cores in the latter case) are surrounded by at least one metal layer in form of wires for strengthening the cable structure while maintaining a suitable flexibility.
  • the transported current and the electric conductors are typically sized in order to guarantee that the maximum temperature in electric conductors is maintained below a prefixed threshold (e.g., below 90°C) that guarantees the integrity of the cable.
  • a prefixed threshold e.g., below 90°C
  • the international standard IEC 60287-1-1 (second edition 2006-12) provides methods for calculating permissible current rating of cables from details of permissible temperature rise, conductor resistance, losses and thermal resistivities.
  • the calculation of the current rating in electric cables is applicable to the conditions of the steady-state operation at all alternating voltages.
  • the term "steady state” is intended to mean a continuous constant current (100% load factor) just sufficient to produce asymptotically the maximum conductor temperature, the surrounding ambient conditions being assumed constant. Formulae for the calculation of losses are also given.
  • the conductor temperature T should be kept lower than about 90°C.
  • ⁇ 2 1.23 R A R 2 c d A 2 1 2.77 R A 10 6 ⁇ 2 + 1
  • the reduction of losses means reduction of the cross-section of the conductor/s and/or an increase of the permissible current rating.
  • GB 360 996 discloses a twin-core submarine cable having the cores twisted together and armour wires wound in the same direction as the cores are twisted.
  • the lay of the cores may be from 3 to 4 ft. and that of the armour wires not more than 2 ft.
  • phase resistance that is the cable losses
  • the phase resistance is constant with the current in absence of armour, while it increases with current in presence of the armour.
  • the authors state that the numerical value of the losses is important, especially for large conductor cables, but it is not as high as reported in IEC 60287-1-1 formulae.
  • the Applicant notes that Bremnes et al. state that power losses in the armour are insignificant. However, they use 2.5D finite element models and perform the loss measures with 8.5 km and 12 km long cables with a very low test current of 51 A and conductors of 500 and 300 mm 2 . The Applicant observes that a test current of 51 A cannot be significant for said conductor size transporting, typically, standard current values higher than 500 A.
  • the Applicant further investigated the armour losses in an AC electric cable comprising at least two cores stranded together according to a core stranding pitch A, each core comprising an electric conductor, and an armour comprising one layer of wires helically wound around the cable according to an armour winding pitch B.
  • the Applicant observed that the armour losses are highly reduced when the armour winding pitch B is unilay to the core stranding pitch A, compared with the situation wherein the the armour winding pitch B is instead contralay to the core stranding pitch A, and when pitch B has a predetermined value with respect to pitch A.
  • the present invention thus relates to a power cable according to claim 1 and to a method for improving the performances of a power cable according to claim 13.
  • the term "core” is used to indicate an electric conductor surrounded by at least one insulating layer and, optionally, at least one semiconducting layer.
  • said core further comprises a metal screen.
  • the term "unilay” is used to indicate that the winding of the wires of a cable layer (in the case, the armour) around the cable and the stranding of the cores have a same direction, with a same or different pitch.
  • the term “contralay” is used to indicate that the winding of the wires of a cable layer (in the case, the armour) around the cable and the stranding of the cores have an opposite direction, with a same or different pitch.
  • maximum allowable working conductor temperature is used to indicate the highest temperature a conductor is allowed to reach in operation in a steady state condition, in order to guarantee integrity of the cable. Such temperature substantially depends on the overall cable losses, including conductor losses due to the Joule effect and dissipative phenomena.
  • the armour losses are another significant component of the overall cable losses.
  • the term "permissible current rating" is used to indicate the maximum current that can be transported in an electric conductor in order to guarantee that the electric conductor temperature does not exceed the maximum allowable working conductor temperature in steady state condition. Steady state is reached when the rate of heat generation in the cable is equal to the rate of heat dissipation from the surface of the cable.
  • magnétique indicates a material, e.g. steel, that below a given temperature can possess magnetization in the absence of an external magnetic field.
  • crossing pitch C is used to indicate the length of cable taken by the wires of the armour to make a single complete turn around the cable cores.

  • the measures have been made with a progressive reduction of the number of the wires, starting with the complete armour with 88 wires, and than removing 1 wire every 8 wires equally distributed around the cable. Measures with complete armour (88 wires), 66 armour wires and with armour wires completely removed are reported in Figure 2 .
  • Figure 3 shows the phase resistance measured for the second cable (unilay cable).
  • the phase resistance values obtained for this armoured cable were well lower than that obtained for the first armoured cable and the variation of the phase resistance in the absence of armour wires was not so remarkable for this second cable.

  • the Applicant thus further investigated the armour losses in an AC cable by computing the armour losses percentage as a function of the armour winding pitch B.
  • the armour losses were computed by assuming them as inversely proportional to crossing pitch C.
  • Figure 4 shows the results of the computing the percentage of armour losses as a function of the armour winding pitch B according to the just mentioned conditions. The computation considered losses at 100% those empirically measured with the first cable of figure 2 .
  • Negative value of the armour winding pitch means contralay winding directions of the armouring wires with respect to the cores; positive value of the armour winding pitch means unilay winding directions of the armouring wires with respect to the cores.
  • armour winding pitch B either unilay or contralay with respect to core stranding pitch A - brings to reduction of the armouring losses, the trend of such reduction being striking in the case armour winding pitch B is unilay with respect to core stranding pitch A.
  • a unilay armour winding pitch B of about 1500 mm results in armouring loss percentage of about 25% (-75% with respect to the empirical value obtained for the first cable of figure 2 )

  • the armour loss percentages as a function of the armour winding pitch B are shown. Also in this case the armour losses have a minimum when core stranding pitch A and armour winding pitch B are equal (unilay cable with cores and armour wire with the same pitch) while they are very high when B is close to zero (positive or negative).
  • the armour loss percentages can be as low as 25% or less when B is positive (unilay cable) whereas such percentages are at least about 75% when B is negative (contralay cable).
  • the pattern of the armour losses in figure 5 is very similar to that shown in figure 4 .
  • the FEM computation performed by the Applicat thus confirmed that the hypothesis made in the computations of figure 4 (that the value of the armour losses in the armour wire is inversely proportional to the crossing pitch C) is correct.
  • the Applicant thus found that the armour losses highly change depending on the fact that the armour winding pitch B is unilay or contralay to the core stranding pitch A.

On the other side, high values of A are disadvantageous in term of cable flexibility.
  • C ⁇ 3A in modulus.
  • C ⁇ 10A in modulus.
  • the Applicant believes that the present finding (that the armour losses are highly reduced when B is unilay to A) is due to the fact that when A and B are of the same sign (same direction) and, in particular, when A and B are equal or very similar to each other, the cores and the armour wires are parallel or nearly parallel to each other.
