Abstract | Within cities, electrical power is often distributed by means of underground cable tunnels, frequently extending for many kilometres. Cables can generate significant heat, with the quantity of heat being directly related to the electrical load carried. Tunnel air temperatures are generally controlled by ventilation using outside air; preventing the cables from overheating. If active cooling was provided, tunnel air temperatures could be further reduced, permitting higher electrical loadings to be used. Using an air/water heat exchanger to cool the outside air entering the ventilation shaft has been investigated. The temperature of the heat extracted (to water) was increased using a heat pump before transfer to a heat network. Benefits identified included reduction in cable temperatures, and carbon and cost savings compared to conventional heat delivery. |
