The evolution of the technical performance of HV, EHV and UHV AC & DC power insulated cables offer to electric power utilities new development opportunities beyond the areas of high density urban zone, river crossings, …. Throughout the world, several long length HV, EHV and UHV electrical links by AC and DC insulated power cables are already in service and plans for underground and submarine routes whose length exceeds ten kilometers are under development.
Despite the advantage of these solutions to environmental and societal acceptability, the extra cost compared to overhead techniques and the duration of unavailability in the event of damage are challenges to overcome.
The availability of these power links that are of strategic importance in the network should so be subject to special attention. This topic will be the focus of discussions of the workshop WETS'15
