Underground or indoor substations are required to comply with the increasing demand for electricity. Electric utility companies in Japan studied this situation and came to conclude that underground or indoor substations applying gas insulated transformers (GIT) together with gas insulated switchgears (GIS) would be the best solution. Not only 22/33 kV and 66/77 kV but also up to 275 kV class GIT have been applied to underground or indoor substations. More than 100 units and 6000 MVA GIT are owned by electric utility companies in Japan and they are operating satisfactory. This paper presents examples of GIT applied to underground or indoor substations and experiences operation and maintenance in Japanese electric utilities.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125608133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The application of this system in the renovated high-power laboratory of Toshiba Co is described, including the results of short-line fault tests in the range 16-70 kA on a 300 kV single break model circuit breaker. Three levels of information on the 'quality of interruption', obtained from current zero measurements are discussed: (1) direct observation of post-arc current, arc voltage collapse phenomena, commutation process of arc current into (stray-) capacitance etc.; (2) the arc conductivity very shortly (200 ns) before current zero, an indicator of the performance of the breaker under test. A new quantitative method of electrical endurance mapping is presented; and (3) arc model parameters are extracted out of every individual test, that enable prediction of the performance under other conditions than those tested (e.g. with an internal capacitor).","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131339804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method relies on utilising DWT to decompose the busbar voltages and line currents obtained from a single terminal into a series of time-scale representations. A feature model using self-organising maps (SOM) is applied herein to verify the fault location capability of the extracted features. Results of computer experiments with simulated faulted TCSC transmission line are included and they indicate that this approach can be used as an effective tool for accurate fault location in TCSC systems.

In this paper, adopting CO/sub 2/ as an alternative gas, the means utilizing ablation phenomenon of polymer materials as one of the breakthrough technologies compensating the drop in the interruption performance will be proposed and tested by a full-scaled GCB model. As a result, a change in the blasting pressure characteristics was observed, and also the peak pressure for the ablation application model was about 1.3 times higher than that of the conventional model without the ablation element. Furthermore, even if compared at the same blasting pressure condition at current zero, the thermal interruption capability of the CO/sub 2/ gas in the ablation application model was presumed to be improved with comparison to the conventional model without the ablation element. The thermal interruption capability of the CO/sub 2/ gas in the ablation application model could be estimated to be about 50 % of that of SF/sub 6/ gas in the conventional model in this interrupting test.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132345147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The capability of STATCOM supplies the reactive power at low voltage is larger than conventional SVC, and reactive power of STATCOM can be controlled continuously at high speed. The stabilizing control system was investigated supposing that STATCOM is used in the nonlinear operating points. Specifically, the stabilizing effects by nonlinear control theory were compared with the effects by linear control theory. It was confirmed that nonlinear control was more effective compared with linear control. Moreover, system conditions where nonlinear control operates effectively were clarified.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130268097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transmission providers may use ATC to make the best utilization without comprising system security. Considering various contingencies, ATC can be utilized as the sum of the firm (or nonrecallable) transmission service capacity and the recallable (or interruptible) transmission service capacity. The object of this paper is to propose an optimal strategy to spilt firm and recallable transmission service capacity considering possible failures of power system equipment, and uncertainty in load demands. We propose the expected ATC to define the firm transmission capacity. The expected ATC can be obtained either from the analytical contingency analysis or from statistic estimations of ATC under contingencies. The problem is formulated as an optimization problem where the wheeling revenue is considered as an objective function. Effects of wheeling costs and interrupting penalty variations on the wheeling revenue are also investigated using sensitivity analysis.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130281382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thereafter, the UPFC capability for controlling the transmittable power flow in a transmission line, where it has been implemented, and its simultaneous effect and control over an inflexible parallel line, are analysed. The simulations performed ratify the UPFC capability in increasing and modifying the power flow through a specific route.

The neural network is trained to map the nonlinear relationship existing in fault location equations. The proposed approach is able to identify and locate all different types of faults (single line to ground, double line to ground, line-to-line and three-phase short-circuit). This approach is subdivided into several main steps: Data acquisition, corresponding on three-phase current signals; Mathematical treatment by the Clarke-Concordia transformation; Fault identification, obtained by the analysis of fault and pre-fault data; Fault location artificial neural network based learning algorithm. The fault position is presented as the output of the neural network on which, as the input, it was considered the eigenvalue of matrix representing transformed line current.
