This guide applies to electromagnetic transient (EMT) analysis and simulation of submarine power cables used in offshore collector systems and transmission grids. The guide covers single-core, multi-core, and bundled cable configurations for both alternating-current (ac) and direct-current (dc) applications, with voltage ratings ranging from medium voltage through extra-high voltage (33 kV to 525 kV). The guide provides guidance on input data types and conversions, parameter determination approaches, development and validation of models, and key factors that influence EMT analysis and simulation for submarine power cables. The guide does not cover underground (onshore) power cables, except for the landing sections of submarine power cables.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
