Underground power cables are long, plastic-insulated, high-voltage electrical conductors. These cables form the backbone of electrical power transmission and distribution networks. Although underground cables have lower fault rates and maintenance requirements than overhead power lines, underground distribution cables cannot be readily physically inspected. For this reason, cables are a leading cause of power outages attributed to defective equipment. Outages in the distribution system present risks to safety, the environment, and the economy, as well as indirect risks associated with a lack of power service to critical public infrastructure. This research project will produce advanced predictive frameworks to support the reliability of critical urban electricity distribution systems by addressing challenges in condition assessment and risk to underground power cables.

地下电力电缆是长的、塑料绝缘的高压电导体。这些电缆构成了电力传输和分配网络的骨干。 虽然地下电缆的故障率和维护要求比架空电力线低，但地下配电电缆不容易进行物理检查。出于这个原因，电缆是由有缺陷的设备引起的停电的主要原因。配电系统中的停电对安全、环境和经济构成风险，以及与关键公共基础设施缺乏电力服务相关的间接风险。该研究项目将产生先进的预测框架，通过解决条件评估和地下电缆风险方面的挑战，支持关键城市配电系统的可靠性。
