Abstract

Underground cables are essential for efficient power distribution, facilitating the reliable transmission of electricity over long distances. Despite their advantages, the hidden placement of these cables presents significant challenges for fault detection and maintenance. Traditional monitoring techniques often fall short, lacking the necessary real-time capabilities to promptly identify and address issues. Consequently, when faults occur, utilities face prolonged outages that can disrupt service and result in substantial repair costs. The inefficiencies of conventional methods underscore the need for innovative solutions to enhance/ the reliability and performance of underground cable systems. This paper explores advanced monitoring technologies and methodologies designed to improve fault detection and maintenance processes. By integrating real-time monitoring systems with predictive analytics, utilities can proactively manage underground cable health, minimizing the duration of outages and reducing operational expenses. Furthermore, the implementation of such technologies not only enhances service reliability but also contributes to overall grid resilience in the face of increasing demand and climate challenges. This study aims to highlight the importance of adopting modern monitoring approaches to ensure the continued effectiveness of underground power distribution networks, ultimately leading to a more sustainable energy infrastructure.
