Analysis of transient recovery voltage on circuit-breaker connected to HV terminals of step-up transformer located in hydro power plant 871

Abstract
This presentation deals with TRV on circuit-breaker installed in GIS at HV terminals of step-up transformer located in hydro power plant. An overview of standards covering TRV will be given. Modelling... see more of power system components in EMTP® for TRV studies will be shown (generator, power transformer, electric arc model inside circuit breaker, etc.). Results of EMTP® simulations will be presented covering different cases of TRV (for out-of-phase conditions, single-phase to ground and three-phase faults, short-line faults, switching off small capacitive currents, etc.).

Switching of Inductive Currents and Dimensioning of RC-Snubbers with PAMSUITE846

Abstract
In order to control the voltage in distribution and transmission networks shunt reactors can be used for compensation of reactive power. Due to the switching of their inductive currents, unacceptable ... see moreswitching transient voltages might occur which can lead to damage of equipment. Furthermore, the breaker must be able to withstand the transient recovery voltage (TRV), amplitude and rate of rise (RRRV) respectively. One possibility to mitigate these switching transients are so-called RC Snubbers. They have to be dimensioned according to the topology and the values of R and C can be optimized with the PAMSUITE tool. In this presentation the modelling and the results of the TRV due to shunt reactor switching is discussed and the mitigation with RC Snubbers with the help of PAMSUITE is shown.

POWERGRID experience with EMTP793

Abstract
To meet the increasing power demand, a number of extra high voltage (EHV) transmission lines is being added to the power system network, which enhances the complexity of power system network. It is es... see moresential duty of power engineer to fulfill the growing demand ensuring the reliability, stability & security of GRID. Transient simulation tools like EMTP play a vital role to provide the flexibility to power engineer for simulating/studying the various case scenarios which couldn’t be simulate in physical power system.


Such tools eventually help power engineer to build a sustainable and secure GRID. In POWERGRID, being a central transmission utility, various studies are being carried out to arrive the technical particular of new transmission system and optimize or fine tuning of existing system. Some of them i.e. Transient Recovery Voltage (TRV) study of 1200kV Transmission network, Smart Power from insulated earth wire of EHV transmission line and 1200kV Transformer Inrush current study are discussed in presentation. 1200kV National Test Station was established & successfully charged along with the transmission line in state of BINA in India.


TRV study was carried out for assessment of various test duties of 1200kV Circuit Breaker. Presentation cover the detailed discussion of 1200kV TRV study and a brief about the facilities like HIL, HVDC control Replica setup, STATCOM replica setup available at Powergrid Advanced Research and Technology Centre (PARTeC).
