The International Energy Agency recently stated that by 2027, solar power generation is expected to surpass coal-fired power generation and become the main way of generating electricity. So, why is solar power likely to become the main force of new energy in the future? More than a decade ago, solar energy was insignificant in the global energy race, accounting for the smallest share of all major sources of electricity, less than 1%. But things have changed now, with the International Energy Agency (IEA) saying that within three years, solar will generate more electricity than natural gas. Within four years, by 2027, it could overtake coal as the dominant form of electricity generation. Solar electricity installation costs have dropped dramatically in recent years An important reason is that the installation cost of solar power has dropped significantly. Data show that for utility-scale solar energy, the average cost of construction and operation has continued to decline since 2009, and will only be about $36 per megawatt-hour by 2021, a drop of about 90% compared to 2009. The cost of coal has changed little, at about $108 per megawatt-hour in 2021. Bahar, an analyst for the International Energy Agency's renewable energy market, said that solar power is expected to account for almost 60% of new power installations in the next five years. Governments are increasingly paying attention to the development of renewable energy In addition, in recent years, governments of various countries have paid more and more attention to energy security, and have also introduced corresponding policies to support it. According to the EU plan, by 2025, its installed capacity of solar photovoltaic power generation will more than double that of 2020, reaching 320 GW, and by 2030 it will reach 600 GW. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act is expected to allow solar developers to enjoy certain tax credits within 10 years to carry out long-term and large-scale construction.   Home solar power market has broad prospects Another point that cannot be ignored is that the construction scale of solar energy can be large or small. In addition to huge arrays, it can also be a single battery panel on the roof. Therefore, household solar power generation is also an important market. The CEO of a solar energy company in the United States mentioned in an interview with CNBC that the surge in demand for electric vehicles today may also drive the demand for household solar power generation in the future because it is convenient, cheap and reliable.  

Cable manufacturers are constantly challenged with wider temperature ranges, more shielding functions and higher mechanical durability, as well as characteristics such as bending resistance and chemical resistance required for extremely harsh environments and increasingly complex applications. However, cable failures and system downtime still occur from time to time, why?   Cable Faults Many problems caused by cable faults, especially those operating in extreme and harsh environments, can be avoided if the cables are selected correctly from the outset. People might say that choosing a cable is easy, but is that really the case? Indeed, matching the correct temperature range and relying on a PVC jacket for protection is simple. However, there are far more issues to consider.   Engineers have many details to consider before finalizing a perfectly matched cable. Flex and flex cables require specific flex shields. When the shield is torn and continuity is lost, the choice of standard foil shielding can lead to system failure. The distinction between flexibility and bendability should be kept in mind. It is important that the cables be able to be bent and fitted, the flexible cables are easier to install and also simplifies fault detection in cabinets and cable trays.   When the cable is used to connect to the cabinet, the round cable provides a better seal than the typical spiral cable. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly select the degree of bending after considering the line. In some manufacturing applications, cables will be constantly being bent. Ability to withstand millions of bends is more complicated than flexibility. So, how to choose a curved cable? The first thing to consider is the type of bending, is it uniaxial, twisted, or multi-axial? Each type requires different characteristics of the cable.

1. Contact: The backbone cable refers to the cable directly connected to the power supply; the branch cable refers to the cable that comes out of the distribution box and connects to the user or each workshop; the distribution cable refers to the cable that is electrically connected to the distribution box. Their function is to act as a bridge chain connecting the telecommunications room to each user client.   2. Difference: The number of backbone cables and distribution cables cannot be similar. The backbone cable should be one or two, the branch cable needs more than two, and the distribution cable should be more. Branch cables are divided into vertical branches and Horizontal branch. For vertical branches, they are mainly applicable to high-rise buildings. Generally, they are measured on site and divided according to the drawing, that is, the cross sectional area of cables is selected according to the load of each floor, the cable model is selected according to the fire resistance rating of the project, and the cable length is selected according to the distance between the low-voltage distribution cabinet and the highest floor of the branch; For Horizontal branch cable, the line selection basis is the same as that for vertical branch, but the length of Horizontal branch cable can be larger than the trunk line, but its sectional area should be smaller than the trunk line section. It should be noted that the vertical main line should be higher than the three section levels of the branch line.

The choice of cable sheath should be made in accordance with the requirements of relevant standards in combination with different situations. 1 The selection of cable sheath should meet the following requirements: 1.1 For single-core power cables in AC systems, when it is necessary to enhance the cable’s resistance to external forces, non-magnetic metal armor layers should be used, and steel armor without effective non-magnetic treatment should not be used. 1.2 For cables in humid, chemically corrosive environments or susceptible to water immersion, the metal layer, reinforcement layer, and armor should have polyethylene outer sheaths, and the thick steel wire armor of cables in water should have extruded outer sheaths.   2. The selection of the outer sheath of the cable during direct burial laying shall meet the following requirements: 2.1 When the cable is subjected to high pressure or has the risk of mechanical damage, it should have a reinforcement layer or steel tape armor. 2.2 In the soil where displacement may occur, such as quicksand layer and backfill land zone, the cable should be armored with steel wire. 2.3 For extruded cables used in areas seriously endangered by termites, outer sheaths with higher hardness should be selected, or thin outer sheaths with higher hardness can be extruded on ordinary outer sheaths. The material can be nylon or special polyolefin copolymerized Objects, etc., can also be armored with metal sleeves or steel tapes.   3. The selection of cable sheath for fixed laying in the air shall meet the following requirements: 3.1 When the small cross-section extruded plastic insulated cables are directly laid on the arm support, they should be armored with steel tape. 3.2 In places with high safety requirements and serious rodent infestation, such as underground passenger transportation and commercial facilities, plastic insulated cables should be armored with metal tape or steel tape. 3.3 When the cables are under high-drop force conditions, the multi-core cables shall be armored with steel wires, and the AC single-core cables shall comply with the provisions of Item 1   4 The selection of cable sheath for underwater laying shall meet the following requirements: 4.1 Steel tape armoring can be used for cables that do not require armored layers to bear tension in ditches, unnavigable creeks, etc. 4.2 For cables in rivers, lakes and seas, the type of steel wire armor selected should meet the stress conditions. When the laying conditions have protection requirements such as mechanical damage, the outer sheath that meets the protection and corrosion resistance enhancement requirements can be selected.

Characteristics of rubber sheathed cables: 1. incomparable softness of other wires and cables; 2. Good electrical insulation performance and chemical stability; 3. Good physical and mechanical properties and wear resistance; 4. Requirements for oil resistance, flame retardancy, cold resistance, and heat resistance. Choosing a cable that suits you has become a key issue. 1： Have a detailed understanding of the performance indicators of cables in various aspects, such as the wear resistance, compression resistance, and service life of rubber sheathed cables. Conduct a detailed inquiry and understanding, and then determine whether it meets your own usage conditions 2： The influence of the surrounding environment on the usage of cables. During the use of cables, in addition to being limited by their own usage conditions, there are also some external factors that play a decisive role. For example, if there is interference from magnetic fields, the cables need to be shielded; If it is a welding robot, due to the long working time and high temperature, it poses a great challenge to the outer sheath of the cable. Therefore, the selection should be based on the actual situation. 3： Clarify the use function of cables, whether it is control cables or rubber sheathed cables, no matter how excellent their performance is. What we need to do is to install the cables in positions suitable for their use. Only in this way can we achieve the original performance and service life of the cables.
