Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to submarine cables, and in particular to the design of a J-type submarine cable tube based on a multi-layer composite structure for increasing the flow rate of submarine cables. Background Technology

[0002] Most high-voltage submarine cables for offshore wind farms are buried on the seabed, where temperatures are low and the soil has a low thermal resistivity, resulting in a large current-carrying capacity. However, submarine cables landing at the base of wind turbine towers, offshore booster stations, or offshore converter stations suffer from significant temperature rises in the cable core due to the limited sealing structure of traditional J-tube cables. This forces a 20%–30% reduction in current-carrying capacity. Therefore, the current-carrying capacity differs between the underwater and landing sections, with the landing section being the bottleneck restricting the overall current-carrying capacity. Current technologies rely on increasing the cable cross-sectional area or using external forced cooling systems. The former increases material costs and construction difficulty, while the latter has poor reliability and high energy consumption in the corrosive and vibrating marine environment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a J-type submarine cable conduit based on a multi-layer composite structure.

[0004] While ensuring the structural strength and sealing of the J-tube, a three-stage coupled structure design of heat conduction, heat storage, and heat dissipation is used to overcome the limitation of submarine cable temperature rise on current carrying capacity, while avoiding the cost and reliability defects of traditional solutions, thus achieving passive high-efficiency heat dissipation and dynamic power adaptation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A J-type submarine cable duct based on a multi-layer composite structure includes a J-type submarine cable duct body. The inner wall of the duct body is coated with a high thermal conductivity liner layer, which transfers heat from the submarine cable to the J-type submarine cable duct body. The inner wall of the high thermal conductivity liner layer has a phase change heat storage intermediate layer, which absorbs and stores heat from the submarine cable and releases it when the cable cools down. The outer wall of the phase change heat storage intermediate layer has a corrugated expansion heat dissipation outer layer, which utilizes the natural convection of seawater to create turbulence and accelerate heat dissipation efficiency. The J-type submarine cable duct body uses friction stir welding to seamlessly connect the spiral guide fins to the duct body, avoiding thermal stress concentration caused by traditional welding. The phase change layer mesh and the corrugated outer shell are integrated by vacuum diffusion welding, with an interface porosity of <0.5%. The duct section is modularly designed (standard length 6m), and graphite sealing rings (pressure resistance ≥2MPa) are pre-installed at the flange connections, supporting rapid splicing for shipborne hoisting.

[0007] In the aforementioned J-type submarine cable duct based on a multi-layer composite structure, the inner wall of the curved section of the J-type submarine cable duct body has continuous spiral guiding fins, which cover the entire length of the curved section; the radius of curvature of the curved section is greater than or equal to twelve times its inner diameter; the height of the spiral guiding fins is one-tenth to one-eighth of the inner diameter of the J-type submarine cable duct body; the inclination angle θ of the spiral guiding fins is dynamically optimized using the following formula:

[0008]

[0009] Among them, V air V represents the airflow velocity within the J-shaped submarine cable duct. water The velocity of the seawater outside the J-type submarine cable duct body.

[0010] It can induce forced vortex flow of air inside the pipe (Reynolds number Re > 5000), destroy the thermal boundary layer, and increase the gas-solid heat transfer coefficient by 18% to 25%.

[0011] In the aforementioned J-type submarine cable duct based on a multi-layer composite structure, a V-shaped guide groove is provided at the bottom of the J-type submarine cable duct body. The depth of the guide groove is 20 mm, and the opening angle of the guide groove is 60°. This can guide seawater to flow directionally along the corrugated surface, avoiding local heat transfer deterioration caused by eddy stagnation.

[0012] In the aforementioned J-type submarine cable duct based on a multi-layer composite structure, the high thermal conductivity inner lining is sprayed using the following method: an aluminum nitride ceramic coating with a thickness of 50 to 100 μm is formed on the inner wall of the J-type submarine cable duct body using a plasma spraying process, with a thermal conductivity ≥200 W / (m·K) and a contact thermal resistance of less than 0.05 K·m. 2 / W. Directly contacts the surface of the submarine cable, quickly dissipating heat from the cable core to the middle layer of the tube wall, thus preventing the formation of localized hot spots.

[0013] In the aforementioned J-type submarine cable tube based on a multi-layer composite structure, the phase change thermal storage intermediate layer is a composite phase change material consisting of expanded graphite as a carrier, encapsulating paraffin and graphene nanosheets. The microcapsule particle size is controlled between 50 and 200 μm, and the coating layer is a silica shell of 1 to 3 μm. The encapsulation structure uses a 3D-printed honeycomb grid to fix the phase change microcapsules, with a filling rate of 65% to 70%.

[0014] When the core temperature reaches 40℃, the phase change material absorbs heat (phase change enthalpy ≥ 180J / g), slowing down the rate of temperature rise; after the temperature drops, it releases the stored heat to adapt to load fluctuations caused by tides.

[0015] In the aforementioned J-type submarine cable duct based on a multi-layer composite structure, the corrugated extended heat dissipation outer layer is an aluminum alloy shell with a continuous corrugated structure on its surface, with a wave crest height of 8mm and a wave pitch of 15mm. The effective heat dissipation area is increased by 35% compared to a planar structure. Heat dissipation is enhanced because the corrugated channels are at a 30° angle to the seawater flow direction, utilizing natural seawater convection (flow velocity ≥ 0.3m / s) to create turbulence, thus increasing the overall convective heat transfer coefficient to 120–150 W / (m²). 2 ·K).

[0016] A method for increasing the flow rate of a submarine cable, wherein the submarine cable is located in a J-type submarine cable duct based on a multi-layer composite structure as described above, characterized in that the inclination angle of the spiral guide fins is dynamically optimized using the following method:

[0017] An optical fiber temperature measurement point is set up every 0.5m along the axis of the J-shaped submarine cable duct to monitor the temperature gradient of the cable core, inner and outer layers of the duct wall in real time.

[0018] Temperature signals are transmitted to the central controller of the converter station via anti-electromagnetic interference optical cables, with a sampling frequency ≥10Hz;

[0019] When the temperature at any temperature measuring point exceeds 55℃, the load reduction protection is triggered, and the transmission power is reduced in a gradient, with a maximum reduction of 15%.

[0020] After the temperature drops below 50℃, the current carrying capacity is restored at a rate of 2% / min.

[0021] By combining offshore wind power forecast data, the load capacity allocation strategy can be adjusted in advance to reduce the frequency of temperature control actions.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, this invention, while ensuring the strength and sealing of the J-shaped tube structure, breaks through the limitation of submarine cable temperature rise on current carrying capacity through innovative thermal management designs such as a three-level coupled structure design of heat conduction-heat storage-heat dissipation, active flow field optimization design, and intelligent temperature control system. At the same time, it avoids the cost and reliability defects of traditional solutions, and achieves passive high-efficiency heat dissipation and dynamic power adaptation.

[0023] (1) Significantly improved current carrying capacity and outstanding economic benefits. Through the synergistic effect of a high thermal conductivity inner layer, a phase change heat storage layer, and a corrugated heat dissipation outer layer, the temperature rise is reduced and the current carrying capacity is increased. There is no need to increase the cable cross-sectional area, and the total investment of the project is reduced by 15% to 20%.

[0024] (2) Passive and efficient heat dissipation, adaptable to complex marine environments. Natural heat dissipation is achieved through material and structural innovations, eliminating the need for external cooling equipment;

[0025] (3) Strong adaptability to dynamic heat load. Resistant to environmental interference, the phase change thermal storage layer can buffer transient thermal shocks caused by salt spray corrosion and mechanical vibration;

[0026] (4) Compact structure and convenient construction and maintenance. Modular design, standard 6m pipe section pre-integrated composite structure layer, flange interface compatible with existing J-type pipe system, and 50% improvement in offshore installation efficiency.

[0027] (5) Environmentally friendly and compatible with future energy systems. The natural heat dissipation design requires no additional energy consumption and supports seamless integration with the SCADA system of offshore converter stations / offshore booster stations, adapting to the future demand for high proportion of new energy grid connection. This invention overcomes the industry problems of poor heat dissipation and limited current carrying capacity of traditional J-type submarine cables through the deep integration of material innovation, structural optimization and intelligent control. It has high economic efficiency, high reliability and environmental adaptability, providing key technical support for the large-scale development of deep-sea wind power. Attached Figure Description

[0104] Finite element thermal-fluid coupling simulation test (110kV / 630mm) was conducted. 2 Submarine Cable: Increased Current Carrying Capacity: With an external air temperature of 38℃, the continuous current carrying capacity increased from 700A to 870A (a 25% increase), and the maximum core temperature decreased from 75℃ to 50℃; Dynamic Response: Simulating a step change in load (30%→100%→30%), the phase change layer reduced the temperature fluctuation amplitude by 62% and shortened the recovery time by 40%; Life Assessment: Accelerated aging tests showed that the composite pipe structure exhibited a thermal conductivity degradation of <8% over a 25-year service life, significantly superior to traditional steel pipes (degradation ≥25%).

[0105] This technical solution was applied to the Huadian Liaoning Dandong 2000MW offshore wind farm. The electricity generated by the wind turbines is connected to the AC side of the offshore converter station via a 110kV submarine cable. After voltage boosting and conversion, it is connected to a newly built ±500kV onshore DC collection station via two ±500kV submarine cables. Each set of 12 12MW wind turbines forms one 110kV collection line loop, for a total of 14 110kV collection line loops. By using this J-type tube to increase the current carrying capacity of the submarine cable, HYJQF41-F-64 / 110kV-3×630mm² can be selected to connect the 12 wind turbines. The original 3×800mm² design was optimized to 3×630mm². The specifications of the submarine cables connecting the remaining 1 to 11 wind turbines can also be optimized, saving 55 million RMB in costs, thus achieving the goal of optimizing the collection lines for the entire offshore wind farm. The ±500kV DC submarine cable connecting the ±500kV offshore converter station to the ±500kV onshore DC collection station can be a 1*2200mm² cable. The 120km outgoing DC submarine cable has been optimized from the original 1*2500mm² design to 1*2200mm², saving 36 million yuan in costs. Therefore, the entire offshore wind farm project can save 91 million yuan in submarine cable costs, demonstrating significant application and promotion value.
