This webinar introduces LineCableModels.jl, a Julia package for computing frequency-domain electrical parameters of underground and overhead lines and cables, with built-in uncertainty quantification.
The toolbox supports high-fidelity models of coaxial, arbitrarily layered cable designs and computes impedance/admittance data while accounting for conductor and insulation losses, skin and proximity effects, and earth-return effects with frequency-dependent soil models. The resulting models can be used in phasor-based studies or exported to commonly used electromagnetic transient tools such as PSCAD, ATP/ATPDraw, and EMTP.
The session will start with a short overview of what drives frequency-dependent cable parameters in EMT and harmonic studies, followed by a walkthrough of the package workflow: building a cable design from layer geometry and material data, computing electrical parameters, and using the results in transient simulations. The core capabilities will be illustrated with practical examples, including a medium-voltage single-core cable build and export workflow, and a high-voltage armored single-core cable case with parameter calculations and system setup.
