Goals|Objectives

 

 

The objectives proposed for this thesis are:

 

   1. Characterizing the MV underground network

      (a) Network organization;

      (b) Asset identification and classification;

      (c) Geographical dispersion of underground cables.

 

   2. MV underground cable failure

      (a) Identification of behavioural patterns

      (b) Calculation and study of failure rates;

      (c) Impact of cable failure on the quality of service;

      (d) Seasonal study, determining correlation between failures and other variables like               temperature or load;

      (e) Statistical analysis of cable failure data.
