Technical and Economic Investigation of the use of Aerial Bundled Cables in the Electricity Distribution Network

Nowadays, in modern and developing countries, it is very difficult to live without continuous and reliable electric energy. After realizing the high importance of energy resources and power generation in power plants, its transmission and distribution in a safe, sustainable and high-quality manner became very important. In the past, most of the electrical energy was carried out at the low voltage level through aerial networks with copper wires, but in recent years due to problems such as the greater importance of accessibility, the importance of improving power quality, theft of copper wires due to the increasing price of copper, electricity theft, etc., the implementation of aerial wire networks is prohibited except in special cases in distribution companies, and the use of aerial bundled cables has been replaced instead. In this article, first by introducing the merits and demerits of the implementation of aerial bundled cables, economic study (profit and loss) and also the return period of the capital in a system have been investigated and at the end its efficiency or inefficiency for distribution companies has been studied.
