New research stand at the Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering | Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering at the Gdańsk University of Technology

The experimental stand, carried out in cooperation with the LINTE^2 Laboratory, will be used by the doctoral student to study the effect of the type of soil (native soil, concreteite, cable bentonite) and its parameters (density, graininess, humidity, temperature) on the long-term current carrying capacity of power cables laid in the ground.

Specialized measuring equipment will be installed on the new stand, which will enable remote recording of soil moisture and temperature measurements. The test results will be used, inter alia, to develop an accurate model of long-term load capacity of cables in various conditions of their immediate surroundings.

The doctoral student's supervisor is Stanisław Czapp, DSc, associate professor from the Department of Electrical Power Engineering, and the company cooperating in the implementation of the doctorate is Eltel Networks Energetyka SA.
