The only book on the market that provides current, necessary,and comprehensive technical knowledge of extruded cables andhigh-voltage direct-current transmission
This is the first book to fully address the technical aspects ofhigh-voltage direct-current (HVDC) link projects with extrudedcables. It covers design and engineering techniques for cablelines, insulation materials, and accessories, as well as cableperformance and life span and reliability issues.
Beginning with a discussion on the fundamentals of HVDC cabletransmission theory, Extruded Cables for High-VoltageDirect-Current Transmission: Advances in Research andDevelopment covers:
* Both the cable and the accessories (joints and terminations),each of which affects cable line performance
* The basic designs of HVDC cables--including a comparison ofmass insulated non-draining cables with extruded HVDC cables
* The theoretical elements on which the design of HVDC cables isbased--highlighting the differences between HVAC and HVDCcables
* Space charge-related problems that have a critical impact onextruded insulation for HVDC application
* Recent advances in extruded compounds for HVDC cables such asadditives and nano-fillers
* The improved design of extruded HVDC cable systems--withemphasis on design aspects relevant to accessories
* Cable line reliability problems and the impact on cable systemdesign
Including more than 200 illustrations, Extruded Cables forHigh-Voltage Direct-Current Transmission fills a gap in thefield, providing power cable engineers with complete, up-to-dateguidance on HVDC cable lines with extruded insulation.
