Although standard methods for solving this problem provide satisfactory results, however, these results are not always optimal and algorithms are not always convergent. This book takes these standard methods as a starting point and formulates the ampacity calculations as an optimization problem. The solution to this optimization problem gives the required ampacities, and is determined by utilizing the barrier method algorithm. This algorithm is implemented in FORTRAN-77 and used to obtain ampacity solutions for various cable configurations. The results are compared with ampacities obtained using standard methods, implemented in the CYMCAP commercial software package. The comparisons show that ampacity solutions obtained with the optimization method are at least equal and up to 15% greater than those obtained with the latter. Such an increase in total current loadings greatly improves the utilization efficiency of power cables.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wael Moutassem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639063414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639063417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Wael Moutassem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200984498431,"sku":"9783639063417","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_523e0268-f486-483c-a4b4-e45674cfb7d6.jpg?v=1756788489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ampacity-optimization-of-unequally-loaded-wael-moutassem-9783639063417","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
