Abstract
The three-core submarine cables have been widely used in offshore wind farm engineering as an important power transmission channel. The conventional methods for calculating the impedance matrix of submarine cables exhibits deviation between the computed and actual results. This is primarily due to their failure to fully consider the structural characteristics, specialized electromagnetic materials, and variations in burial depth of the cables. These limitations impact the accuracy of electrical characteristic calculations for submarine cables. To address factors affecting the accuracy of the impedance matrix calculations, this paper analyzes the relationship between measured sequence impedance of each metal layer and impedance matrix in three-core submarine cables. It derives equations to obtain the impedance matrix from sequence impedance. In addition, measurement methods for the sequence impedance and mutual impedance of each metal layer are provided to solve the equations. The impedance matrix of a 220 kV three-core submarine cable was calculated using the equations and the proposed measurement methods. The calculated impedance matrix is compared and analyzed against that obtained through finite element method. The results indicate that the proposed calculation and measurement approach is more effective, feasible, and with higher accuracy for the impedance matrix of laid three-core submarine cables.
