Analysis of eccentric axial high voltage underground cable

Nowadays the electricity energy consumption is rapidly increasing. Along with the growing load demand, the components used in energy systems should be safe, have a long-life and have high quality to ensure energy continuity. The high voltage underground cables (HVUC) that widely used in power systems should be designed for certain criteria. Thus, care must be taken in the design and production of HVUC. For this reason, energy transmission cables should also be safety, long life, high quality, etc. In this study, electric field analysis of a HVUC is carried out. By using Finite Element Method (FEM), an electric field analysis of a 500 kV HVUC is achieved for axial conductor and eccentric axial conductor. In the system simulation, Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) packed software is used.
