Channel 1 (FIMT) versus Channel 2 (FOC)
Both the FIMT and the external optical cable give a good reflection of the cyclic loading and the general temperature trend
But with the external optical cable the response to load variations is somewhat delayed and the accuracy of the temperature measurent is somewhat lower

Channel 1 (FIMT) versus Channel 2 (FOC) (con’t)
Temperature differences between Channel 1 and Channel 2 are:
Few degrees for sections with direct buried cables
Up to 15 ’C for cables in PVC ducts
Up to 20 ’C for cables in steel pipes

Input data for the calculations
Detailed calculations were performed for the period between 01-12-2008 and 11-12-2008
Calculations were performed according to Electra 87
Calculations performed for the sections without other heat sources in the vicinity
Soil temperature and load current based on the performed measurements
Soil thermal resistivity initially assumed to be 1 Km/W, but the calculations indicated a much lower value, i.e. 0.55 Km/W
The calculations were performed for:
Direct buried cables (49 % of the route)
Cables installed in PVC ducts (47 % of the route)

Summary
FIMT
Quick response
Satisfactory reflection of the load changes and the cyclic load behavior
Risk for damage or increased attenuation during power cable manufacturing
Increased manufacturing cost
The maximum length limited by the power cable drum length (might mean additional joints)
Once installed not influenced by the cable surrounding / installation conditions
Reparation / replacement of fibres not possible (without disrupting the power cable)
External fibre optic cable
Delayed response
The load changes and the cyclic load behavior are smoothened but the general temperature trend is
satisfactory. Better attenuation since not affected by the power cable
manufacturing process
Low cost/risk approach
Lower losses due to jointing since longer lengths (fewer joint) can be used
Greatly influenced by the cable surrounding (for example not a good solution for cables in air) and installation conditions (such as duct and steel pipes)
Reparation / replacement of the fibre optic cable does not disrupt the power cable
