Evaluation of simplified heat transport for power cables in pipes
Solheim, Kristian Thinn; Hellesø, Svein Magne; Eberg, Espen; Kantar, Emre (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2023)Power cables in air- or water-filled pipes are the thermal bottleneck in many installations. Some parts of the industry reduce the complexity of their numerical models by combining conduction, convection, and surface-surface ... -
Experimental study on the effect of soil moisture content on critical temperature rise for typical cable backfill materials
Rieksts, Karlis; Eberg, Espen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The increased utilization of power grid requires operating power cables close to their thermal limit. Buried power cables in such condition experience thermal instability where thermal resistance increases as the moisture ... -
Frequency Dependence of the Electric Field Grading of End-Winding of Generator Bars
Aakre, Torstein Grav; Enoksen, Henrik; Eberg, Espen; Mermigkas, Athanasios; Hølto, Jorunn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)To reduce the electric field stresses in the end-winding in hydropower generator bars, a field dependent grading tape is applied in the transition zone from outer corona protection to bare insulation. The design is typically ... -
Full-scale case study of a road crossing thermal bottleneck in buried MV cable installation
Eberg, Espen; Espeland, Kåre; Hellesø, Svein Magne; Hvidsten, Sverre (CIRED Conference Proceedings;2017, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)Infrastructures such as road crossings, are often limiting the ampacity of a cable link due to poor thermal properties. In order to fully utilize the true loading capacity of the cable, thermal modelling with correct input ... -
How to Plug In the Fishing Fleet: Connectors in charging infrastructure for small fishing boats
Mehammer, Eirill Bachmann; Strand, Henrik; Magnusson, Niklas; Solheim, Kristian Thinn; Eberg, Espen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Fishing fleets are targeted for electrification in many parts of the world. These vessels represent a large potential for emission reductions by transitioning from fossil to hybrid and electric propulsion. However, a massive ... -
Hybrid Method for Numerical Implementation of Segmented Power Cable Conductors in Finite-element Based Ampacity Calculation
Strand, Henrik; Eberg, Espen; Anders, George J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This paper addresses challenges with modelling of segmented power cable conductors using finite element analysis (FEA) for ampacity calculation. Segmented conductors improve current distribution by minimizing skin and ... -
