Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an armoured power cable for transporting alternate current.
  • an armoured power cable is generally employed in applications where mechanical stresses are envisaged.
  • the cable core or cores (typically three stranded cores in the latter case) are surrounded by at least one armour layer in the form of armour wires, configured to strengthen the cable structure while maintaining a suitable flexibility.
  • US 2009/0194314 discloses an oilfield cable comprising an electrically conductive cable core for transmitting electrical power and at least one layer of a plurality of armour wires surrounding the cable core.
  • At least one of the armour wires is a bimetallic armour wire having a coaxial inner portion and a surrounding outer portion, which provides a return path for the electrical power transmitted through the cable core.
  • the inner portion includes at least one of copper material, aluminium material and beryllium copper material.
  • the outer portion is formed of a metal alloy material which includes at least one of MP35N material, HC-265 material, Inconel material, Monel material, and Rene material.
  • 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 in an armoured AC electric cable enables to reduce the cross-section of the conductor(s) (thus, the quantity of material necessary to make the cable) and/or to increase the permissible current rating (thus, to enable the cable to carry higher power).
  • the Applicant investigated the contribution of armour losses to the overall cable losses in an armoured AC power cable when the armour wires are made of ferromagnetic material, which is economically appealing.
  • armour losses can depend on hysteresis and eddy currents generated owing to the magnetization of the ferromagnetic wires of the armour, caused by the magnetic field generated by the AC current transported by the cable conductors.
  • WO 2013/174399 discloses that, in a three core cable, the armour losses can be highly reduced when the armouring pitch is unilay to the core pitch compared with the situation wherein the armouring pitch is instead contralay to the core pitch.
  • the armour wires may have a ferromagnetic core surrounded by a non-ferromagnetic material (e.g. plastic or stainless steel).
  • the Applicant believes that an electrical conductivity above a predetermined value in the armour wire cladding causes the eddy currents to concentrate in the armour wires periphery where they generate low resistive losses because of such enhanced electrical conductivity.
  • the concentration of eddy currents in the armour wire cladding induces a magnetic field of opposite sign with respect to that of the magnetic field generated by the AC current transported by the cable conductors, thereby increasing the effect of shielding the armour wires from this latter magnetic field.
  • the reduction of armour loss due to said electrical conductivity of the armour wire cladding enhances the reduction of the armour losses due to the non-ferromagnetic property of the cladding.
  • Such non-ferromagnetic property of the armour wire cladding enables to shield the ferromagnetic armour wires from the magnetic field generated by the AC current transported by the cable conductors, thereby reducing hysteresis losses.
  • the armour losses of an armour made of wires having a ferromagnetic core coated by a non-ferromagnetic cladding of sufficiently high electrical conductivity are reduced with respect to those of an armour having wires with the same cross-section but made of ferromagnetic material only, or made of a non-ferromagnetic and relatively low electrically conducting applied cladding over a ferromagnetic inner portion.
  • the Applicant found that, by using an armoured AC cable comprising an armour with a layer of armour wires having a ferromagnetic core and an external electrically conductive and non-ferromagnetic cladding of a predetermined thickness/cross-section, the performances of the armoured AC cable can be improved in terms of transmitted current and/or cable conductor cross-section area S.
  • the present invention thus relates to an armoured power cable for transporting alternate current according to claim 1.
  • the ferromagnetic inner portion and an electrically conductive cladding of the armour wires of the invention are as hereinafter defined.
  • the present invention relates to a method for improving the performances of an armoured power cable according to claim 14.
  • the present invention relates to a method of reducing armour losses in an armoured power cable according to claim 15.
  • the term "core” is used to indicate an electric conductor surrounded by an insulating layer and at least one semiconducting layer.
  • said core further comprises a metal screen surrounding the conductor, the insulating layer and the semiconducting layer/s.
  • radial is used to indicate a direction intersecting the longitudinal axis of the cable and laying in a plane perpendicular to said longitudinal axis; and “tangential” is used to indicate a direction perpendicular to the "radial” direction and laying in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cable.
  • electrically conductive is used to indicate a material, e.g. copper or aluminium, having an electrical resistivity lower than 10x10 -8 Ohm ⁇ m; preferably lower than 8x10 -8 Ohm ⁇ m; more preferably lower than 5x10 -8 Ohm ⁇ m.
  • magnétique indicates a material that below a given temperature has a relative magnetic permeability significantly greater than 1, preferably greater than 100.
  • non-ferromagnetic indicates a material that below a given temperature has a relative magnetic permeability of about 1.
  • the term "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.
  • the working conductor temperature substantially depends on the overall cable losses, including conductor losses due to the Joule effect and other additional 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, according to laying conditions.
  • elongated cross section is used to indicate the shape of the transversal cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the armour wire, said shape being oblong, elongated in one dimension.
  • the performances of the armoured power cable can be advantageously improved in terms of increased transported alternate current with respect to a cable having substantially the same electric conductor cross section area S and armour wires having substantially the same cross section area, but the latter being made of material/s with different electrical and/or magnetic features and/or having a different material arrangement.

  • a cable is offered for sale or sold accompanied by indication relating to, inter alia, the amount of transported alternate current, the cross section area S of the electric conductor/s and the maximum allowable working conductor temperature.
  • a cable according to the invention will bring indication of a reduced cross section area of the electric conductor/s with substantially the same amount of transported alternate current and maximum allowable working conductor temperature, or an increased amount of transported alternate current with substantially the same cross section area of the electric conductor/s and maximum allowable working conductor temperature.

  • the armour losses can be equal to or lower than 20% of the overall cable losses.

  • values of cross-section area of the cladding lower than 10% (or thickness lower than 2.5%) can provide an armour loss reduction non particularly valuable to the aim of reducing the electric conductor cross section area S and/or of increasing the transported alternate current (e.g. at least 10% reduction).
  • a cladding cross-section area greater than 55% (or thickness greater than 20%) could cause the armour wire to lose the tensile strength suitable for providing the cable with the sought tension stability and mechanical protection. That is because materials for the electrically conductive cladding generally have a tensile strength substantially lower than that of materials of the ferromagnetic inner portion of the armour wire.
