pof_ohl_cond_04_10kv: Current Probability of Failure for 0.4-10kV OHL Conductors

Description

This function calculates the current annual probability of failure per kilometer 0.4-10kV OHL conductors. The function is a cubic curve that is based on the first three terms of the Taylor series for an exponential function. For more information about the probability of failure function see section 6 on page 30 in CNAIM (2017).

Arguments

ohl_conductor

String. A sting that refers to the specific asset category. See See page 15, table 1 in CNAIM (2017). Options: ohl_conductor = c("0.4kV OHL (Tower Line) Conductor", "10kV OHL (Tower Line) Conductor"). The default setting is ohl_conductor = "10kV OHL (Tower Line) Conductor".

utilisation_pct

Numeric. The max percentage of utilisation under normal operating conditions.

operating_voltage_pct

Numeric. The ratio in percent of operating/design voltage.

placement

String. Specify if the asset is located outdoor or indoor. A setting of "Outdoor" means the asset is located in an outside environment, and a setting of "Indoor" means the asset is located in an indoor environment. A setting of "Default" will result in either an indoor or an outdoor environment setting that depends on the specification of asset_type. See page 107-108, table 25A in CNAIM (2017) for default environments.

altitude_m

Numeric. Specify the altitude location for the asset measured in meters from sea level.altitude_m is used to derive the altitude factor. See page 107, table 23 in CNAIM (2017). A setting of "Default" will set the altitude factor to 1 independent of asset_type.

distance_from_coast_km

Numeric. Specify the distance from the coast measured in kilometers. distance_from_coast_km is used to derive the distance from coast factor See page 106, table 22 in CNAIM (2017). A setting of "Default" will set the distance from coast factor to 1 independent of asset_type.

corrosion_category_index

Integer. Specify the corrosion index category, 1-5. corrosion_category_index is used to derive the corrosion category factor. See page 107, table 24 in CNAIM (2017). A setting of "Default" will set the corrosion category factor to 1 independent of asset_type.

age

Numeric. The current age in years of the conductor.

conductor_samp

String. Conductor sampling. Options: conductor_samp = c("Low","Medium/Normal","High","Default"). See page 146-147, table 192 and 194 in CNAIM (2017).

corr_mon_survey

String. Corrosion monitoring survey. Options: corr_mon_survey = c("Low","Medium/Normal","High","Default"). See page 146-147, table 193 and 195 in CNAIM (2017).

visual_cond

String. Visual condition. Options: visual_cond = c("As New","Normal Wear","Some Deterioration", "Substantial Deterioration", "Default"). See page 131-132, table 127 and 129 in CNAIM (2017).

midspan_joints

Integer. Number of midspan joints on the conductor. A span includes all conductors in that span. See page 131-132, table 128 and 130 in CNAIM (2017).

reliability_factor

Numeric. reliability_factor shall have a value between 0.6 and 1.5. A setting of "Default" sets the reliability_factor to 1. See section 6.14 on page 69 in CNAIM (2017).

Value

Numeric. Current probability of failure per annum per kilometer.
