A Vision for Future HVDC Cable Accessories: IoT and Beyond.

HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current) cable accessories play a crucial role in shaping the future of electricity transmission systems. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Digital Twins, holds the potential to transform HVDC cable accessories into intelligent components. Additionally, the design process for these accessories can be enhanced through the utilization of generative design techniques. In this paper, we provide concise introductions to each of these key technologies and present a comprehensive list of our past projects related to cable accessories and condition monitoring. Furthermore, we offer insights into our ongoing research and outlook on future work in the field of future HVDC cable accessories.
