Paper Title: 

Application of Finite Elements for the Physical Modeling of Power Cables

Abstract: 

This paper presents a finite element (FE) physical model of power cables. Such a model would allow an efficient representation of the cable under different operating conditions. The terminal behavior of the cable is investigated by direct coupling of FE model with Simulink. The abc form model of the cable is also built. Inductances are calculated by energy/current (E/C) perturbation method. The terminal behavior comparison of FE model and abc inductance model under different operating conditions is performed. The result shows that the FE model is more accurate.
