Article: A Scientific Approach to Cable Asset Management
By Ben Lanz, Director, Applications Engineering, IMCORP. Member, EPRA
Abstract
Power cables are one of the most commonly overlooked power system assets and are, by default, typically addressed reactively after failure. They are also one of the most misunderstood. This article provides insight into how new scientific findings on cable care address these misunderstandings. In this article I will provide insight into some of these findings through case studies, and I’ll explain how a holistic, condition intelligence-based strategy can easily double the expected life of most assets—including cables—and maximize reliability with optimal lifecycle cost.
