Download or read book Submarine Power Cables written by Thomas Worzyk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for high-performance submarine power cables is increasing as more and more offshore wind parks are installed, and the national electric grids are interconnected. Submarine power cables are installed for the highest voltages and power to transport electric energy under the sea between islands, countries and even continents. The installation and operation of submarine power cables is much different from land cables. Still, in most textbooks on electrical power systems, information on submarine cables is scarce. This book is closing the gap. Different species of submarine power cables and their application are explained. Students and electric engineers learn on the electric and mechanic properties of submarine cables. Project developers and utility managers will gain useful information on the necessary marine activities such as pre-laying survey, cable lay vessels, guard boats etc., for the submarine cable installation and repair. Investors and decision makers will find an overview on environmental aspects of submarine power cables. A comprehensive reference list is given for those who want further reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High-Tension Underground Electric Cables: A Practical Treatise for Engineers As one of the experts in a recent and important controversy regarding the necessity of putting underground certain high-tension aerial wires in the largest city in America, the author was made to realize the general lack of information with reference to the possibilities and advantages of subsurface electric transmission. This led to the wanting of a series of papers on high-tension cables, which were published in the Electrical World, during the fall of 1908. The interest displayed at this time, in these matters, has led the author to conclude that re-writing, expanding and adding to these papers so as to compile a summary of the high-tension cable situation as it exists to-day, would be a valuable and a helpful contribution to the up-to-date literature of electrical engineering. In the following pages are contained summaries of experience, facts and figures, which have been gathered from almost innumerable sources, so that the whole may be said to fairly represent the concensus of present opinion of a majority of engineers acquainted with and practiced in the use of high-tension subsurface transmission.

This book was released on 1997-03-18 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the electric and magnetic fields (EMF) to which people are routinely exposed cause health effects? This volume assesses the data and draws conclusions about the consequences of human exposure to EMF. The committee examines what is known about three kinds of health effects associated with EMF: cancer, primarily childhood leukemia; reproduction and development; and neurobiological effects. This book provides a detailed discussion of hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization for each. Possible Health Effects of Exposure to Residential Electric and Magnetic Fields also discusses the tools available to measure exposure, common types of exposures, and what is known about the effects of exposure. The committee looks at correlations between EMF exposure and carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, neurobehavioral effects, reproductive and developmental effects, effects on melatonin and other neurochemicals, and effects on bone healing and stimulated cell growth.

Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2015 in the subject Electrotechnology, grade: -, Warsaw University of Technology (Electrical Engineering), language: English, abstract: This study is focused on installations and faults diagnosis of high voltage underground cables and examined on the various ways through which they can be identified and corrected. It has been found that wear and tear is one of the major issues leading to electric faults like power loss. There has been seen that several causes of failure which could be identified with them and analyze better ways of detecting them. So, it has been looked at how to detect degradation of insulation of the underground cable. After a thorough analysis of fault detection techniques have been explained, the pre-location fault techniques is described; I illustrated many methods which aid to discover the fault location. I also developed a method which contributes in pre-location of the fault based on Matlab simulation and mathematical slope equation. This method was invented after the observation that the voltages measured at the local and remote substations, after filtering and after Fourier analysis, showed a linear behavior that was proportional to the respective distances between the fault location and the mentioned substations or generators. Thus, the developed method exploits such a linearity to estimate the fault location by interpolation, assuming that the parameters of the line are previously known and that dedicated devices are located on site in both substations to provide post-fault measurements of the faulted line. Finally, I clarify many pin-pointing methods to precisely determine the fault location.
