ABSTRACT: With
the development of technology, more and more options are available for
insulated cables in power systems. Different cable construction types have
different impedance, voltage drop and power losses. In order to efficiently
design these cable systems and adequately model them for system analysis, engineers should be able to calculate the
parameters of different types of cables.Although the methods of parameters calculation are
very mature, few types of software are used to calculate all these parameters
for different cables. The
objective of this paper is to build a user-friendly software to calculate these
parameters with greater flexibility even if the users are not familiar with the
methods of estimating the parameters of different types of cables. A program
that is used to calculate the parameters of different cross-sections of cables
is built by combining the method of estimating these parameters with the
graphical user interface (GUI). Using this program, users can input or choose
any type of cables, and calculate the parameters they need. In the future, more
functions can be added to the program and the code could be switched to python
or C# and develop a better GUI (Graphical User Interface).
