المستخلص Very Fast Front Transient Overvoltages (VFTO) in a 220 kV Wadi- Hoff gas insulated substation has been analyzed using ATP_EMTP package. The Gas insulated substation (GIS) components have been represented using equivalent circuits and distributed parameter lines that take into account the GIS high frequency response during transients. Different switching events leading to VFTO generation are analyzed and discussed, such as disconnector switching at the incoming and transformer feeders and Circuit Breaker switching at the incoming and transformer feeders, during energizing the line and transformer bay. Also, different effective factors affecting on VFTO generation are discussed and analyzed. Several classical and new methods used for mitigation and protection from VFTO are also analyzed and discussed. The following main points can be concluded from this work. 1- Due to switching operation of DS and CB in 220/66/11kV Wadi-Hoff GIS, VFTO at transformer points reach to about 2.04 Pu and 2.83 Pu respectively. 2- When trapped charge change from 0 to 1 pu, VFTO will be changed from 2.04 pu to 3.09 pu respectively, i.e. Fast operating disconnector switches which are usually used to reduce time of the breakdown cannot eliminate the harm of the VFTO. 3- As the trapped charge on the line increases, the VFTO levels is increased, but this increase is not proportional to the magnitude of the trapped charge. 4-The points near switching operation have high amplitude and high oscillation frequency of VFTO compared with the far away points. 115 5- The switching type has a great effect, i.e. CB switching has a high amplitude and high oscillation frequency of VFTO as compared with that generated with DS switching. 6- To mitigate the generated VFTO in the 220/66/11 kV Wadi-Hoff GIS the following methods can be used effectively, for its low cost implementation and minimum required changes (where the GIS is currently under operation). These methods are; a) Using a cable terminal would result in the lowest voltage for both source and load-side terminal components. A suitable terminal types can be suggested for other substations using the generalized method proposed in this research. b) The entrance capacitance components can damp the peak magnitude of VFTO at transformer terminals and improve the VFTO distribution along the transformer windings. A 10nF used can reduce the VFTO at transformer terminal from 2.04 pu to 1.01 pu. Because of the impossibility of adding capacitance in the high voltage systems, the suggestion is the use of the coupling capacitor voltage transformer with capacitance (10nF) instead of the potential transformer or using an extra surge arrester with 10nf capacitor or using a shunt capacitor with surge arrester. 7- Before starting the design of a HV substation, if the maximum VFTO is below the (LIWV), no measures need to be taken. Otherwise it is necessary to design considering the VFTO level as dimensioning criteria or to suppress the generated VFTO by damping devices. These devices can be as follows; a) Installing shunt resistor on disconnector can decrease VFTO peak but has no effect on oscillation. So shunt resistor in series with capacitor or inductor is used to reduce the VFTO amplitude and damping its oscillation frequency. b) Ferrite rings can obviously decrease the amplitude and steepness of VFTO. c) R-C filter, R-C suppressor and shunt reactor can obviously decrease the amplitude and steepness of VFTO. But they are protecting the transformer only. |
