Cover Story: As government and international bodies focus more on the impact of climate change, low carbon technologies (LCTs) will become more prominent on power distribution networks, and their cable loading regimes will change significantly. No studies have discussed the influence of LCTs on the life of installed power cables, despite the fact that this is critical to both increasing the penetration of LCT on distribution networks and may expose vulnerabilities in legacy infrastructure through increases in load. This paper uses a physics-based thermal lifetime model based on projected uptake trends for prominent LCTs to evaluate the impact on cable lifetime. We show that the projected uptake of EVs and heat pumps will have a detrimental effect of cable life. Based on the projected uptake of these LCTs, a 30% reduction in cable lifetime may be possible.
