  • 10:15 - 10:40 “Modern Pipe Type Cable System - New High Voltage XLPE Cable in Pipes and Associated Accessories including Transition Joints“ Matthias Kirchner, Nexans High Voltage Extruded Cable Systems, NEXANS
    Abstract: A modern XLPE -insulated cables up to 150 kV is now available to replace old paper insulated pipe type cables. The design of the cable (reduced insulation thickness) and the accessories (compact design) was new delevoped and qualified so that the system fits into the existing steel pipes. We will report about our four year expierence with commercial retrofitting of complete 110 kV external gas pressure cable systems. The next step was to develop a new transtion joint to enable the replacement of only sections of the old paper insulated cable. The new design of this transition joint and the qualification tests will be presented.
  • 10:40 - 11:05 “Breakdown of MV Cable Jackets under Impulse Conditions”, Caryn Riley, Ray Hill, Nigel Hampton NEETRAC
    Abstract: It has been suggested that URD cable circuits can experience abnormally high voltages between the neutral and the ground resulting from power system switching, faults, and lightning. The concern is that if these voltages are sufficiently high then they may cause puncture of the jacket. If the puncture is large enough then this may admit water and the water might accelerate the growth of water trees and / or cause corrosion of the neutral.
    This presentation details an experimental program that aims to determine impulse characteristics of cable jackets. The cables selected were 1/0 175mil WTRXLPE with 50mil LLDPE compounded ins jacket. The study determined breakdown levels and examined the evidence of time dependence for the impulse failures.
  • 11:05 – 11:15AM - Break
  • 11:15 - 11:40 “Development and Type Test of a 500kv XLPE Cable System”, Kwang-Soo Kim, Jong-Soo Kim, Chang-Sung Go, Si-Ho Son, Han-Soo Jo LS Cable Ltd., Republic of Korea
    Abstract: This paper deals with the development of 500kV XLPE cable system for EHV lines and refer to the results of the type tests. As the growing of popularity in worldwide market of EHV XLPE cable system in a wide range of voltage class recently, we have developed XLPE cable of insulation thickness 30mm, pre-molded joint, outdoor termination and GIS termination up to 500kV voltage class with research on electrical and mechanical properties of material. The availability of pre-molded accessories, that reduce the workmanship and that are subjected to routine test in the factory, have strongly reduced the risk of failures of the accessories. In order to verify the design and reliability of the system, the type test was performed according to IEC 62067. This paper describes the design and development test of 500kV XLPE cable and accessories and reviews the result of the type test.
  • 11:40- 12:05 “XLPE Material Selection Characteristics to Consider for HV and EHV Cables”, Paul Caronia, Jeffrey Cogen, Tim Person, The Dow Chemical Company
    Abstract: The usage of crosslinked polyethylene insulation for high voltage and extra high voltage cables is growing globally. In North America, ICEA and AEIC cable specifications now provide for using crosslinked polyethylene insulated cables up to 345 kV. Polyethylene's advantages of high dielectric strength along with its inherent characteristics of toughness, resistance to chemicals and moisture, and flexibility at low temperatures make it an excellent material for this application. We will review some common and less common criteria to be considered when selecting crosslinked polyethylene insulation materials for HV and EHV cables.
  • 12:05 -12:30 “Improving Surface Smoothness of Semiconductive Shields”, Laurent Gervat, Sébastien QUINEBECHE, Arkema, France Oliver Hissmann, OCS, Germany
    Abstract: Using the new OCS Nip Detection System dedicated to semiconductive shields, we have analysed the surface smoothness of several semiconductive compositions for medium / high voltage conductor shields. It was observed that the addition of a particular ethylene acrylate copolymer decreases the size and the number of protrusions by two folds. This technique appeared more efficient than using a lubricant or other types of copolymers.

  • 2:45 - 3:15 PM :  Importance of Soil Thermal Characteristic for Cable Rating, by Deepak Parmar, Geotherm, Inc.
    Abstract : All the heat generated by an underground power cable must be dissipated through the soil in which it is buried. This is quantified by the soil thermal resistivity (or thermal rho, (C-cm/W), which can vary from 30 to 500 C-cm/W. Electrical Engineers understands the performance of the cable quite well, but to most, the soil behavior is a mystery, usually handled by using a thermal backfill with a supposedly "safe" thermal rho. The ability of the surrounding soil to transfer the heat determines whether an operating cable remains cool or overheats. Improving the external thermal environment and accurately defining the soil and backfill thermal rho commonly results in a 10% to 15% increase in cable ampacity, with 30% improvements noted in some cases. The presentation will cover the parameters that control the thermal resistivity and thermal stability of soil and corrective thermal backfills. Case studies with slides of route thermal surveys of underground and submarine power cables as well as wind-farm projects will be presented.
  • 3:15 - 3:30 PM Break
  • 3:30 - 4:00 PM : Sinatra 230kV Transmission Projects - NV Energy, by Dennis McAninch, NV Energy

Of the 2.4 miles of new line, approximately one mile of the line is underground in two (2) parallel duct bank systems. The underground section of the line crosses under Interstate -15 in two 42-inch  casings pipes then using a combination of public and private easements along Dean Martin Drive, Tropicana Avenue and Valley View Blvd to a pair of riser structures at Valley View and Naples Drive. Along the route the duct banks cross under an 84-inch water line which feeds a major portion of the Las Vegas Valley.
  • 4:00 - 4:30 PM : Field Performance of Medium Voltage Polyethylene Cable in a Conduit System, by Jon Erickson, San Diego Gas & Electric.
    Abstract: This presentation will discuss the field performance of medium voltage unjacketed high molecular weight and crosslinked polyethylene cable installed in a conduit system at San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). It will also discuss the performance of medium voltage jacketed crosslinked and tree retardant crosslinked polyethylene cable installed in a conduit system at SDG&E. Unjacketed polyethylene cable began to be installed at SDG&E in the mid 1960's and failure data has been collected for this cable from the point that it started to fail until today. Jacketed cable began to be installed around 1980 and failure data has also been collected for this cable and will be presented. Data on poor performing vintages and seasonal failures will be discussed. Cable failures rates will be presented as well as cable failure projections.
  • 4:30 - 5:00 PM : Energizing the Gjoa Oil and Gas Platform with a Dynamic Power Cable, by Marc Jeroense, ABB Sweden
    Abstract: The oil and gas industry is constantly reviewing and judging the possibilities of new investments to explore new or upgrade existing oil and gas fields. An example of the exploration of a new oil and gas field is Gjoa, which is located approximately 100 km northwest of Bergen, Norway. The water depth in the area is 380 m, and a dynamic HV cable rising from the seabed to the floating production facility was needed. A floating platform needs a considerably different cable concept than a static platform. The dynamic cable has to withstand the substantial mechanical stresses due to weather conditions and depth. Required fatigue properties are essential. Due to the high voltage of the power transmission, a radial water barrier was needed. No such cable has been developed or been commercially available earlier. A dynamic High Voltage XLPE cable was developed and qualified by ABB and Statoil. The cable has double armouring and a welded copper sheath as a radial water barrier and screen for the cable. Lead is normally used for this purpose but due to the extensive dynamic mechanical loading of the cable lead can not be used in this application. Without the required fatigue properties of the screen it will lose its function both as a water barrier protecting the XLPE insulation and as an electrical conducting sheath. It is the first time welded copper is used as a screen in a high voltage submarine cable. The dynamic part of the cable is about 1.5 km long whereas the remaining static part measures 99.5 km. This section is designed for a water depth of about 550 m. The two parts were spliced in a transition joint. The cable is designed for Um = 123 kV. A fibre optic cable with 48 fibre elements was integrated in the cable. The fibre optic cable is used for main communication from the platform to shore, temperature monitoring close to the platform as well as regulation of the electrical system onshore. Required safety systems and functions located onshore are connected to the platform via dedicated fibres in the cable. This highly innovative project has resulted in a major step in diminishing environmental loading. This was done by means of the Power from Shore concept and the use of a world record long HVAC submarine cable where extreme mechanical loadings are met by abandoning lead and introducing welded copper as a sheath.
  • 5:00 - 5:30 PM : Hop Scotching Biscayne Bay with Horizontal Directional Drilling for Florida Power and Light's 138 kV High Pressure Gas Filled Pipe-Type Cable Circuit, by Earle C. (Rusty) Bascom, III, PDC, and Joseph Rezutko, Florida Power and Light
    Abstract: Florida power and Light contracted the construction of a 138kV high-pressure gas-filled pipe-type cable circuit between Miami and Miami Beach to reinforce the reliability of power in the area. Design and construction of the project presented many technical challenges. This presentation summarizes considerations for cable system selection and design, route selection, civil construction methods, weather, installation contingency management, and commissioning.  
  • 5:30 - 5:35 PM : Closing Remarks

   

• Subcommittee D - Generating Station Cables - Tuesday, March 23, 2010, 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
  • 8:00 - 8:15: Subcommittee D Business/Announcements
  • 8:15 – 8:55: Update on P1682, Fiber Optic Seismic Qualification and New Fiber Optic Designs, by Jan Pirrong/CableLAN Products, Inc.
    Abstract: The current status of P1682 (Qualification of Fiber Optic Cable) will be presented, followed by a review of recent seismic qualification of fiber optic assemblies for Class 1E applications and finally an update on new fiber optic cable designs for nuclear power plants, particularly a completely gel-free loose tube cable.
  • 8:55 - 9:40: Medium Voltage Cable Condition Monitoring and Qualification Considerations, by Bob Minadeo/Kinectrics
    Abstract: US Installed nuclear cable (Class 1E) has received considerable regulatory and operational attention. This attention has been largely attributable to failures of installed cable and commitments by nuclear utilities in their license renewal applications to implement cable aging management programs. Considerable attention has been given to wet, underground cable and the issue of submergence. In response to these issues, a revision to IEEE 383 is planned to address condition monitoring and the issue of submergence. Testing techniques will be presented that assess underground MV cable and identify degraded areas. Testing results from actual field cable will be used to illustrate the techniques. Additionally, qualification considerations to address long term submergence for 1E cable will be presented and discussed.
  • 9:40 - 10:05: Modeling the Thermal Response of Power Cables in a Fire Exposure, by Marshall Sharp/Southwest Research Institute
    Abstract: A different approach to the design process for fire resistant power cables, often referred to as performance based design, will be presented. This process utilizes modeling of cable systems for code compliance, rather than using standardized test results. A 2-D thermal model is developed based on the cross-sectional geometry of the cable. Material properties can be measured by means of thermo-gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry or may be determined using a parameter estimation technique. The standard time-temperature relationship from ASTM E119 or UL 2196 can be used as a boundary condition. The method can be used to determine if the melting point of the conductor is exceeded, or if ignition of insulation materials will occur.
  • 10:05 – 10:25: Break
  • 10:25 - 11:05: Assuring Critical Cable System Reliability with Effective Diagnostics, by Ben Lanz/IMCORP
    Abstract: Through the use of off-line 50/60Hz partial discharge (PD) diagnostics (a Defect Specific Diagnostic -DSD- technology), critical facility owners have been able to repeat the manufacturers’ PD test in the field and use cable system profile information to dramatically improve the reliability and availability of their power cable system assets. Data and test comparison case studies collected over the last decade demonstrate this dramatic improvement in cable system performance.
  • 11:05 – 11:35: Low Smoke Zero Halogen Cable Technology, by Bob Gehm/Rockbestos Surprenant
    Abstract: With today’s heightened awareness of security and life safety issues; there is a rapidly growing trend toward LSZH technology in the domestic wire and cable industry.
