Abstract The submarine cable project has a long route which passes through various complex environments, and the load capacity of the cable system is limited by the thermal bottleneck, which usually occupies only a short section of the cable line. The traditional design uses one same cable specification for the whole system, which results in a massive waste of the equipment resources. Aiming at making full use of the cable transmission capacity and improving the project economy, this paper proposes to choose different core specifications for the submarine cable sections laid in different environments, and to optimize the system design by ampacity matching of the submarine cables with cores of different materials and sizes.
For the convenience and representativeness, the 220 kV three-core submarine cable system was taken as the object, and the route was roughly divided into two sections where the cable was laid in seabed and mudflat, which was the longest and hottest section respectively of the cable line. Firstly, the current carrying capacities were calculated for the two sections of cables with copper or aluminum cores of different sizes which were buried in seabed and mudflat. Secondly, the submarine cables with cores of different materials and sizes were selected and matched between the two laying sections to realize the optimal current carrying capacity of the whole system, and at the same time the technical and economic analyses were conducted. Then, the finite element model was established for the transition joints connecting two different submarine cables, and the multi-physical field simulation was carried out to analyze the thermal field distribution characteristics. Finally, the allowable load current of the submarine cable system was determined after the comparison of the transmission capacity of the transition joint with the cable itself. Based on the theoretical methods established, the optimization selection schemes of submarine cables were recommended for typical engineering systems by taking the fulfillment of the required transmission capacity and the minimizing of the unit capacity cost as the goal.
The following conclusions can be drawn from this paper. (1) Under the same direct burial conditions, the allowable current carrying capacity of aluminum-core cable is about 80%~90% of copper-core cable with the same specification, and the ratio increases with the increase of core cross-section. The allowable current carrying capacity of the cable section laid in the mudflat is about 13%~15% lower than that laid in the seabed, and the ratio becomes larger with the increase of core cross-section. The above two characteristics provide available space for the optimization design of submarine cable systems. (2) The design of a submarine cable system based on the matching of cores with different materials and sizes can improve the system transmission capacity, and significantly reduce the acquisition cost of submarine cables per unit length and capacity. Under a specified transmission capacity, the cost can be reduced by about 20%~50% compared with the traditional design of using a same specification of copper-core cable for the whole the line, which is a significant economic benefit. (3) There is a temperature gradient along the axial direction of the copper-aluminum-core transition joint. The temperature at the core of the aluminum cable is higher than that of the copper cable, and the temperature at the core inside the transition joint is lower than that of the submarine cable on both sides. This means the joint is not the thermal bottleneck of the system and will not limit the current carrying capacity of the cable line.

Key words： Submarine cable system cable core with different materials and sizes current carrying capacity optimization transition joint
