Development of standard cable cross-sections of rural electrical networks

Abstract

For the optimal development of electric networks, not only the optimal choice of the network element parameter from the existing standard scale (parametric series) of sizes is important, but also the optimization of standard scales of equipment sizes or checking their optimality. The method of economic intervals explores the existing parametric series of standard cross-sections of 10 kV cable cores and establishes that the existing series does not satisfy the conditions for optimizing the use of cable lines in rural areas. Since cable lines have not yet found wide distribution in rural areas, there are conditions not only to verify the optimality of the existing scale of cable conductor cross-sections but also to establish an optimal scale of 10 kV cable conductor cross-sections, intended for the construction of cable power transmission lines in rural areas (if the existing scale does not meet optimality conditions). For rural distribution electric networks, the initial and final sections in a parametric series (25 and 120 mm2) are determined and the optimal for rural areas parametric series of cable cross-sections of 10 kV (25; 50; 120 mm2) is recommended.

“…The problem of compacting the schedules of the electrical load of enterprises is of great economic importance for the consumers themselves, especially for the power system. Leveling the level of power consumption at the enterprise helps to improve the rhythm of production, the fullest load of technological and power equipment, greater consistency in the work of the main, procurement and auxiliary industries, improve planning [15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”
