Estimation of risk of operation (remaining life) of underground MV power cable systems

Asset managers of electric infrastructures often deal with the following question: “how long will my cable circuits last”. This question has its origin in the increasing need to postpone replacement of cable systems as much as possible. Many cable networks are at age, so what to do? Take the risk and continue or replace it. The key factor to support management decisions like this is knowledge about cable systems and all matters related to it.
