Since offshore wind farms have been integrated to power system only in recent years, the consequences of switching phenomena in offshore wind farms have not yet been thoroughly analyzed. In this paper, the high frequency transient over-voltages of vacuum circuit breaker switching transformers in collection grid of offshore wind parks are studied. Based on the reflection and refraction of traveling waves and vacuum circuit breaker characteristics, the Vacuum circuit breaker has been modeled in PSCAD/EMTDC, which simulates the occurrence of current chopping, re-ignition and pre-strike that will cause high frequency, steep fronted transient voltages and currents. The main reasons for the occurrence of over-voltages in collection grids for offshore wind parks have been analyzed. Finally, the offshore wind farm internal electrical system model has been developed and the case of breaking transformer with VCB in three-phase system has been simulated.","PeriodicalId":296641,"journal":{"name":"2016 27th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (ISDEIV)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129128868","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}

On the other hand, some kind of surge generation may be their only one drawback. Just after the small current interruption with a very short arcing time, a repetitive re-ignition or three phase simultaneous interruption sometimes occurs. Surges related to these phenomena are considered the serious causes of insulation damage of the equipment in distribution power systems. In order to clarify these surge generation mechanisms, we did the experiment on the high frequency (HF) current interruption and the recovery characteristics of VCB with very short arcing time. We investigated the effect of a high frequency current on the dielectric recovery characteristics after the high frequency current interruption by means of synthetic test circuit in short electrode gap. For experiment parameters, we changed HF current frequency, amplitude of HF current values (about 350A and 750A) and impulse voltage (less than 8kV), arcing time(several hundred micro seconds) and delay time of impulse voltage application after HF current interrupted(several micro seconds). In this paper, the result of experiment will be reported.","PeriodicalId":296641,"journal":{"name":"2016 27th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (ISDEIV)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123967969","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 optimal target points of the controlled switching technology are deduced and calculated by Matlab. The switching over voltages are simulated by statistical in ATPdraw.

It is found that the effect is non-trivial: the presence of surface non-uniformities can not only accelerate the development of the instability, which is what one would expect intuitively, but also slow it down and even suppress.","PeriodicalId":296641,"journal":{"name":"2016 27th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (ISDEIV)","volume":"373 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124668240","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}

Experimental results revealed that, in the case of BD based on anode heating, the longer the gap distance was, the larger the BD charge to obtain maximum dielectric strength was. On the other hand, in the case of BD based on cathode heating, the BD charge for maximum dielectric strength was smaller than that in the case of BD based on anode heating. From these results, we can estimate the optimal BD charge for the spark conditioning in vacuum.","PeriodicalId":296641,"journal":{"name":"2016 27th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (ISDEIV)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125334626","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}
