Assessment of the Lightning Performance of Compact Overhead Distribution Lines

Description:
The assessment of the lightning performance of a compact configuration of MV overhead lines that is expected to be adopted in the near future by an electricity distribution company in a Brazilian regi... see moreon characterized by high keraunic levels is presented. The compact configuration is characterized by the presence of an unenergized wire that has the main function to sustain the spacers of the phase conductors. As the wire could be periodically grounded, the paper analyses its effectiveness in reducing the overvoltages due to indirect lightning. The results are compared with those relevant to a conventional configuration of MV overhead lines now adopted by the same distribution company. The effects of the presence of surge arresters along the line are also analysed.

Ferro_hyst_Zno

Description:
Simple ferroresonance case. In this case the switching of a part of the network comprised of a cable connected to a no-load transformer is carried out. A pole of the breaker fails to open and an impor... see moretant and stable ferroresonance phenomena appears.
The ferroresonance problem, whether in a general circuit or in a power-system circuit, is usually tackled in one of two ways : circuit configuration (i.e series and/or parallel) or nonlinearities (i.e saturation and hysteresis of transformers). A fundamental factor to the occurence of ferroresonance is the nonlinear magnetizing characteristic of the transformer and the capacitive coupling.
In this case a 250 kVA, 20/0.4 kV transformer is used. This transformer is represented by the hysteresis transformer model. The hysteresis element has been used as the magnetization branch of the one-phase transformer model. A 200 m cable is used for the study. This cable is modelled by a PI-section. The short circuit power of the source is about 150 MVA.
In order to reduce overvoltages caused by ferroresonance, surge arresters are installed. Two questions have emerged : will the arresters mitigate ferroresonance, and will they fail during ferroresonance ? Simulations in different transient regimes can be carried out in order to determine the maximal current, overvoltages (voltage at the end of the cable for instance), energy absorbed by the arresters

Cross_Bonded_Cable

Description:
Insulation coordination - 225 kV cross bonded cable - protection of the sheath.
In the configuration a 225 kV cross-bonded cable is connected at both ends to an otherhead line. The sheath is prot... see moreected by star-connected arresters.
The modelling used is adapted for the study of Fast-Front-Overvoltages (see IEC 60071)
A current source, with a CIGRE concave shape (See CIGRE 63 document), representing a lightning stroke has been connected to a tower close to the cable.
The case includes the modelling of the different elements of the configuration (cable, spans, arresters...).

CB_arc_CM

Description:
This is an interesting case of the study of arc-circuit interaction in case of the interruption of a short-line fault.The arc is represented by a composite Cassie-Mayr model and the line is represente... see mored as frequency-dependant.
The case shows the application of black-box arc modeling in the study of kilometric-line fault capability of a 420 kV circuit-breaker. By zooming on the arc current and voltage near current-zero, post-arc current and initial TRV may be visualized in both cases of clearing and thermal failure.
