1 Bandweaver Dynamic Cable Rating enables cable cyclic cable rating enhancements of 35% THE SCENARIO The case study is based on a project carried out by Scottish Power and consists of four 33 kV wind farm cable circuits connecting to East Kilbride South 275/33 kV substation in Scotland. The circuits were installed in separate ducts arranged in a trefoil formation. The ducts have an outer diameter of 160 mm and inner diameter of 150 mm. The four circuits share a common trench for the first 0.7 km from the substation. Circuits 1-3 continue to share a trench for the next 10 km until these circuits separate. These 3 circuits are crossed by two 275 kV circuits which connect another wind farm to the grid.2 CLIENT REQUIREMENTS There is an ever growing number of windfarms in the UK as
