Assessment of sodium conductor distribution cable

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5949513· OSTI ID:5949513

The study assesses the barriers and incentives for using sodium conductor distribution cable. The assessment considers environmental, safety, energy conservation, electrical performance and economic factors. Along with all of these factors considered in the assessment, the sodium distribution cable system is compared to the present day alternative - an aluminum conductor system. (TFD)
