pof_future_cables_132kv {CNAIM}

Future Probability of Failure for 132kV cables

Description

This function calculates the future annual probability of failure per kilometer for a 132kV cables. The function is a cubic curve that is based on the first three terms of the Taylor series for an exponential function. For more information about the probability of failure function see section 6 on page 34 in CNAIM (2021).

)

Arguments

cable_type

String. A sting that refers to the specific asset category. See See page 17, table 1 in CNAIM (2021). Options: cable_type = c("132kV UG Cable (Gas)", "132kV UG Cable (Gas)", "132kV UG Cable (Non Pressurised)") . The default setting is cable_type = "132kV UG Cable (Gas)".

sub_division

String. Refers to material the sheath and conductor is made of. Options: sub_division = c("Aluminium sheath - Aluminium conductor", "Aluminium sheath - Copper conductor", "Lead sheath - Aluminium conductor", "Lead sheath - Copper conductor")

utilisation_pct

Numeric. The max percentage of utilisation under normal operating conditions.

operating_voltage_pct

Numeric. The ratio in percent of operating/design voltage.

sheath_test

String. Only applied for non pressurised cables. Indicating the state of the sheath. Options: sheath_test = c("Pass", "Failed Minor", "Failed Major", "Default"). See page 157, table 184 in CNAIM (2021).

partial_discharge

String. Only applied for non pressurised cables. Indicating the level of partial discharge. Options: partial_discharge = c("Low", "Medium", "High", "Default"). See page 157, table 185 in CNAIM (2021).

fault_hist

Numeric. Only applied for non pressurised cables. The calculated fault rate for the cable in the period per kilometer. A setting of "No historic faults recorded" indicates no fault. See page 157, table 186 in CNAIM (2021).

leakage

String. Only applied for oil and gas pressurised cables. Options: leakage = c("No (or very low) historic leakage recorded", "Low/ moderate", "High", "Very High", "Default"). See page 158, table 187 (oil) and 188 (gas) in CNAIM (2021).

reliability_factor

Numeric. reliability_factor shall have a value between 0.6 and 1.5. A setting of "Default" sets the reliability_factor to 1. See section 6.14 on page 73 in CNAIM (2021).

age

Numeric. The current age in years of the cable.

simulation_end_year

Numeric. The last year of simulating probability of failure. Default is 100.

Value

DataFrame. Future probability of failure along with future health score
