Study on Simulation Method for Temperature Distribution of High-voltage Cables Laid in Tunnels Based on Electric-thermal-fluid Fields Coupling
Conductor temperature is a direct factor limiting the cable ampacity. In the complex environment of tunnelbased clustered cable laying
the thermal circuti model in the current IEC 60287 standard exhibits errors in calculating cable temperatures. Therefore
a temperature calculation simulation model of single-circuit high voltage cable based on the coupling of electric field
thermal field and fluid field is set up. As for the difficult determination of convective heat transfer coefficient
a temperature on-site testing platform of cable multi-layer structure is designed and set up. Based on the test data of temperature rise
the convective heat transfer coefficient in the model is determined. The comparison with the experimental results shows that the established multi-field coupling model can accurately obtain the temperature distribution of each layer of single-circuit high voltage cable. Subsequently
as for the influence of forced convection from tunnel ventilation on cable cooling
the turbulent factors are incorporated into the simulation model. The single-circuit cable model is extended to the multi-circuit high voltage cable model in the tunnel. The surface temperature and ampacity of multi-circuit high voltage cables operating in the tunnel is measured. The result shows that the proposed multi-field coupling calculation method
