Article Synopsis
- Pipe-type cable systems, like HPFF and gas-filled cables, are used for high-voltage underground transmission and involve insulated cables within steel pipes with pressurized fluids or gases for insulation and cooling.
- Despite being reliable, these systems can develop faults due to insulation wear and environmental factors, making efficient fault localization critical as many circuits age beyond their 40-year design life.
- A new approach using accelerometers on the pipes to detect fault-induced acoustic signals has been proposed, showing accurate fault pinpointing within centimeters and aligning closely with theoretical values in experiments, presenting a potential improvement for fault localization and grid reliability.
