- sub_division
String. Refers to material the conductor is
made of. Options:
sub_division = c("ACSR - greased",
"ACSR - non-greased",
"AAAC",
"Cad Cu",
"Cu",
"Other")
. See page 107, table 20 in CNAIM (2021).
- 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 110-113,
table 26 in CNAIM (2021) 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 111,
table 23 in CNAIM (2021). 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 110,
table 22 in CNAIM (2021). 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 111, table 24 in CNAIM (2021).
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 161, table 199 and 201 in CNAIM (2021).
- corr_mon_survey
String. Corrosion monitoring survey. Options:
corr_mon_survey = c("Low","Medium/Normal","High","Default")
.
See page 161, table 200 and 202 in CNAIM (2021).
- visual_cond
String. Visual condition. Options:
visual_cond = c("No deterioration","Superficial/minor deterioration","Some Deterioration",
"Substantial Deterioration", "Default")
.
See page 146, table 140 and 142 in CNAIM (2021).
- midspan_joints
Integer. Number of midspan joints on the conductor.
A span includes all conductors in that span.
See page 146, table 141 and 143 in CNAIM (2021).
- 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 73 in CNAIM (2021).
- k_value
Numeric. k_value = 0.0069
by default. This number is
given in a percentage. The default value is accordingly to the CNAIM standard
on p. 110.
- c_value
Numeric. c_value = 1.087
by default.
The default value is accordingly to the CNAIM standard see page 110
- normal_expected_life
Numeric. normal_expected_life = 60
by default.
The default value is accordingly to the CNAIM standard on page 107.
- simulation_end_year
Numeric. The last year of simulating probability
of failure. Default is 100.
