[0002] High-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine cables play a crucial role in connecting offshore wind farms to the onshore power grid. Optimizing their current carrying capacity is directly related to the efficiency and stability of the power system. The current carrying capacity of submarine cables must be dynamically adjusted based on factors such as ambient temperature, ocean currents, and waves to ensure efficient and safe operation. Optimizing current carrying capacity improves the grid's transmission capacity, reduces system energy loss, extends the service life of submarine cables, and reduces damage and failure due to overload or excessive temperatures. Therefore, accurately assessing and dynamically adjusting the current carrying capacity of submarine cables is crucial to ensuring the efficient operation of offshore wind farms and the stability of the power grid.
[0003] Currently, the main challenge in optimizing the current-carrying capacity of DC submarine cables lies in the inability of existing evaluation methods to fully reflect the relationship between the cable's variable temperature field and current-carrying capacity in complex marine environments. While existing technologies such as analytical methods, simulations, experimental testing, and distributed optical fiber sensing (DOFS) each have their own advantages, they still have limitations.

[0067] like Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a structural schematic diagram of a multi-fiber built-in DC submarine cable. The material layers of the multi-fiber built-in DC submarine cable, in addition to the insulating shielding layer 5 and the polypropylene inner pad 10, also include: a conductor shielding layer 3, an XLPE insulating layer 4, a water-blocking buffer layer 6, an alloy lead sheath 7, a polyethylene lead sheath 8, a water-blocking tape 9, a steel wire armor layer 11 and a polyethylene outer sheath 12; along the radial direction of the multi-fiber built-in DC submarine cable, from the inside to the outside, are the conductor 2, the conductor shielding layer 3, the XLPE insulating layer 4, the insulating shielding layer 5, the water-blocking buffer layer 6, the alloy lead sheath 7, the polyethylene lead sheath 8, the water-blocking tape 9, A polypropylene inner cushion layer 10, a steel wire armor layer 11 and a polyethylene outer sheath 12; one optical fiber unit 1 is arranged at the center of the conductor 2; four optical fiber units 1 are arranged on the outer surface of the insulating shielding layer 5, and the four optical fiber units 1 are evenly distributed on the quarter-division points of the circumference; four optical fiber units 1 are arranged in the polypropylene inner cushion layer 10, and the four optical fiber units 1 are evenly distributed on the quarter-division points of the circumference; wherein each optical fiber unit 1 contains two single-mode optical fibers; the diameter of the single-mode optical fiber is 0.6 mm, and the optical fiber attenuation coefficient in the 1550 nm band is less than 0.2 dB / km.
[0068] In a preferred embodiment, the first temperature of the optical fiber unit 1 disposed on the outer surface of the insulating shielding layer 5 and the second temperature of the optical fiber unit 1 disposed in the polypropylene inner pad 10 are obtained by:
[0069] Obtaining a temperature value of each optical fiber unit 1 disposed on the outer surface of the insulating shielding layer 5, and averaging all the temperature values of the optical fiber units 1 disposed on the outer surface of the insulating shielding layer 5 to generate a first temperature of the optical fiber units 1 disposed on the outer surface of the insulating shielding layer 5;
[0070] The temperature value of each optical fiber unit 1 disposed in the polypropylene inner pad 10 is obtained, and all temperature values of the optical fiber unit 1 disposed in the polypropylene inner pad 10 are averaged to generate a second temperature of the optical fiber unit 1 disposed in the polypropylene inner pad 10.
[0071] What needs to be explained here is that the BOTDR distributed optical fiber sensing terminal is used to receive the temperature measurement signal of the optical fiber built into the cable, and the operating band is 1550nm.
[0072] Step S2: When the first temperature or the second temperature exceeds a respective preset temperature threshold, obtaining the thermal resistance of the conductor 2, the thermal resistance of each material layer, and a third temperature of the optical fiber unit 1 disposed at the center of the conductor 2. The temperature threshold of the first temperature may be 70° C., and the temperature threshold of the second temperature may be 70° C. or 80° C.
[0073] In a preferred embodiment, the thermal resistance of the conductor 2 and the thermal resistance of each material layer are obtained by:
[0074] Obtain material parameters of multi-fiber internal DC submarine cables;
[0075] Extracting the outer radius of the structure layer of conductor 2, the inner radius of the structure layer of conductor 2, the thermal conductivity of conductor 2, the outer radius of the structure layer of each material layer, the inner radius of the structure layer of each material layer, and the thermal conductivity of each material layer based on the material parameters;
[0076] Calculate and generate the thermal resistance of conductor 2 according to the outer radius of the structural layer of conductor 2, the inner radius of the structural layer of conductor 2, and the thermal conductivity of conductor 2;
[0077] The thermal resistance of each material layer is calculated based on the outer radius of the structure layer of each material layer, the inner radius of the structure layer of each material layer, and the thermal conductivity of each material layer.
[0078] Specifically, the thermal resistance of each material layer can also be obtained by the following formula:
[0079]
[0080] Among them, R T is the thermal resistance of the material layer; r out is the outer radius of the structural layer; r in is the inner radius of the structural layer; k is the thermal conductivity of the corresponding material layer.
[0081] Similarly, the thermal resistance of conductor 2 can also be solved according to the above formula.
[0082] In an optional embodiment, after calculating and generating the thermal resistance of each material layer according to the outer radius of the structural layer of each material layer, the inner radius of the structural layer of each material layer, and the thermal conductivity of each material layer, the method further includes:
[0083] Obtaining a first configuration file for modeling a multi-fiber built-in DC submarine cable; wherein the first configuration file is set with a modeling method for modeling the multi-fiber built-in DC submarine cable according to the material parameters;
[0084] Calling the preset finite element simulation software so that the preset finite element simulation software models the multi-fiber built-in DC submarine cable according to the modeling method in the first configuration file to obtain a DC submarine cable finite element model; wherein the DC submarine cable finite element model includes a simulated DC submarine cable; a simulated conductor is provided in the simulated DC submarine cable; the finite element simulation software is COMSOL Multiphysics.
[0085] Obtain a second configuration file for injecting current into the finite element model of a DC submarine cable; wherein, the second configuration file is provided with a current injection method for injecting current so that the steady-state temperature of the simulated conductor reaches a preset conductor shielding layer temperature threshold; wherein, the preset conductor shielding layer temperature threshold can be 70°C.
[0086] calling a preset finite element simulation software so that the preset finite element simulation software performs current injection on the simulated DC submarine cable according to the current injection method in the second configuration file;
[0087] Record the current value of the simulated DC submarine cable at this time as the first current value;
[0088] Obtaining a fourth temperature of the optical fiber unit 1 disposed on the outer surface of the insulating shielding layer 5 and a fifth temperature of the optical fiber unit 1 disposed in the polypropylene inner pad 10 of the multi-fiber built-in DC submarine cable when the temperature of the conductor 2 reaches the temperature threshold of the conductor shielding layer;
[0089] Repeating the calibration operation until the difference between the first current value and the second current value is within a preset error threshold range, generating an updated thermal resistance of the conductor 2 and an updated thermal resistance of each material layer;
[0090] The correction operation includes:
[0091] The second current value is calculated based on the DC resistance of conductor 2, the current thermal resistance of conductor 2, the current thermal resistance of each material layer, the fourth temperature, and the fifth temperature. The specific calculation method can refer to formula (2) and formula (3).
[0092] Determine whether the difference between the first current value and the second current value is within a preset error threshold range; if so, use the current thermal resistance of the conductor 2 as the updated thermal resistance of the conductor 2; use the current thermal resistance of each material layer as the updated thermal resistance of the corresponding material layer; wherein the error threshold range can be set to 0.5% to 2% of the rated current, and the specific value is determined according to the accuracy of the measuring equipment and the operating conditions.
[0093] If not, the current thermal resistance of the conductor 2 and the current thermal resistance of each material layer are adjusted according to the difference between the first current value and the second current value to generate updated current thermal resistance of the conductor 2 and updated current thermal resistance of each material layer.
[0094] Specifically, if the difference between the first current value and the second current value exceeds the preset error threshold range, the thermal resistance of conductor 2 and the thermal resistance of each material layer can be proportionally adjusted according to the difference. For example, if the first current value is 2000A and the second current value is 1900A, the difference is 100A. Assuming that the preset error threshold range at this time is ±50A, it means that the current total thermal resistance is too large. At this time, according to the linear relationship between thermal resistance and difference, the thermal resistance of conductor 2 and the thermal resistance of each material layer can be reduced respectively, such as reducing the thermal resistance of conductor 2 from 0.001Ω·m 2 / K is adjusted to 0.00095Ω·m 2 / K, thermal resistance of insulation layer from 0.002Ω·m 2 / K is adjusted to 0.0019Ω·m 2 / K, thermal resistance of polypropylene inner pad is from 0.003Ω·m 2 / K is adjusted to 0.00285Ω·m 2 / K, to gradually approach the target state within the error threshold range.
[0095] Step S3: Calculate and generate an adjusted current carrying capacity according to the thermal resistance of the conductor 2 , the thermal resistance of each material layer, the first temperature, the second temperature, the third temperature, and the DC resistance of the conductor 2 .
[0096] In a preferred embodiment, the calculating and generating the adjusted current carrying capacity according to the thermal resistance of the conductor 2, the thermal resistance of each material layer, the first temperature, the second temperature, the third temperature, and the DC resistance of the conductor 2 includes:
[0097] The first current carrying capacity is calculated using the following formula:
[0098]
[0099] Among them, I new1 is the first current carrying capacity; T1 is the third temperature; T4 is the first temperature; R is the DC resistance of conductor 2; R T1 is the thermal resistance of conductor 2; R T2 is the thermal resistance of the conductor shielding layer 3; R T3 is the thermal resistance of the XLPE insulation layer 4; R T4 is the thermal resistance of the insulating shielding layer 5;
[0100] The second current carrying capacity is calculated using the following formula:
[0101]
[0102] Among them, I new2 is the second current carrying capacity; T9 is the second temperature; R T4 is the thermal resistance of the insulating shielding layer 5; R T5 is the thermal resistance of the water-blocking buffer layer 6; R T6is the thermal resistance of the alloy lead sheath 7; R T7 is the thermal resistance of the polyethylene lead sheath 8; R T8 is the thermal resistance of the water-blocking tape 9; R T9 is the thermal resistance of the polypropylene inner pad 10;
[0103] The smaller value of the first current carrying capacity and the second current carrying capacity is taken as the adjusted current carrying capacity.
[0104] It should be noted here that the following is the derivation process of the above-mentioned current carrying capacity calculation formula:
[0105] According to the thermal balance equation in the IEC60287 standard, we know that:
[0106] P loss =I 2 ·R (4)
[0107] Where I is the current; R is the DC resistance of the conductor; P loss is heat loss;
[0108] Furthermore, the balance between heat loss and heat dissipated to the outside is considered under steady-state conditions:
[0109] P loss =Q out (5)
[0110] Among them, Q out is the heat dissipated by the conductor, which can be calculated by the material thermal resistance and temperature difference:
[0111]
[0112] Among them, T in is the temperature of the material layer closer to the conductor; T out is the temperature of the material layer farther away from the conductor; R T is the material thermal resistance; the calculation formula of the material thermal resistance is shown in formula (1).
[0113] Substituting equations (4) and (6) into equation (5) and simplifying them, we can obtain the calculation relationship between the current carrying capacity and the temperature of each layer of the built-in optical fiber:
[0114]
[0115] Substituting formula (7) into the actual situation, we can obtain formula (2) and formula (3).
