Prysmian Group, a world pioneer in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, returns to Jicable, the international technical forum on insulated power cables, taking place in Lyon, France, from June 19 to June 22.
renewable power, electrification, and grid hardening
Jicable, which takes place every four years, is an important moment to exchange scientific knowledge related to insulated power cables from Low Voltage and special cables to Ultra High Voltage cable links.
Growing demand for renewable power, electrification, and grid hardening processes are key industry drivers and insulated power cables are the main enablers to support the transition to smarter and greener power grids.
power grid infrastructures
Prysmian Group Chief R&D and Innovation Officer will highlight the role of insulated cable systems in the energy transition
Prysmian Group is playing a role in the development of power grid infrastructures to support the energy transition.
During the closing panel of the technical conference that will take place on Wednesday, June 21, Srini Siripurapu, Prysmian Group Chief R&D and Innovation Officer will highlight “The role of insulated cable systems for the energy transition and the sustainability.”
best practices and expertise for power transmission
The Group stands out for its long-standing tradition and excellent reputation within the JICABLE community.
At Jicable 2023 Prysmian Group engineers will present a total of 23 Papers and 4 Posters that outline the findings from current or past projects to share best practices and expertise in terms of new materials, evolution of technologies, improvement in manufacturing processes, standardization, testing and diagnostics methods, innovative solutions for power transmission and new applications at different levels of voltage.
Paper presentations and dynamic cables
Among the most noticeable papers: “Modeling of electromagnetic transients in long HVDC cable systems”, L. Colla; “Special qualification and characterization tests on 525 kV HVDC submarine cable systems”, D. Pietribiasi; “Cold-shrink joints with embedded sensors for voltage or partial discharges detection in Medium Voltage networks”, L. Testa; “Bio P-Laser: Design of a sustainable and fully recyclable Medium Voltage cable”, I. Denizet; “Sustainability improved through SF6 reduction in HV/E-HV cable accessories”, P. Boffi; “MI Cable for High Depth”, F. Cordò; “Considerations on PV DC Cables under increasing voltage and environmental challenges in PV systems evolution”, L. Sales.
The Group will showcase its dynamic cables for HV submarine floating applications that allow building offshore wind farms in high-water-depth areas, and cables with synthetic armor that enable ultra-deep installations in marine ecosystems previously considered out of reach at a depth exceeding 2,200 meters.
525 kV HVDC submarine cable technology
This innovation will enable a massive increase in the transmission capacity of bi-pole systems of up to 2 GW
At JICABLE 2023, Prysmian Group will also present its new 525 kV HVDC submarine cable technology. This breakthrough innovation will enable a massive increase in the transmission capacity of bi-pole systems of up to 2 GW.
For underground projects, the Group will present its eco-friendly P-Laser technology, insulated with HPTE (High-Performance Thermoplastic Elastomer) applicable to all voltage classes from LV to EHV. This cable is fully recyclable and results in 30% lower CO2 emissions during production.
PRYSOLAR
On display will also be Prysmian PRYSOLAR, the Group’s newest PV cables, fully compliant with the applicable global standards EN 50618 and IEC 62930 and enhanced with long-term resistance in water up to 1800 V DC.
Solar PV cables are critical system components, and their failure disrupts power generation. Thanks to an innovative and first-in-the-industry test protocol that certifies long-term resistance in water for DC cables, Prysmian PRYSOLAR offers extreme climate strength and a +30-years lifetime, which translate into reliable ROI, the increased operational efficiency of assets, reduced OPEX, and lower LCOE.
