The comfort of always having electricity available is enything but guaranteed, however. We face major challenges in providing adequate power generation, transmission, and distribution to meet the worid's, reeds. ‘The global demand for energy is steadily Increasing at the rate of three percent a year, faster than the two percent annual increase in the global demand for primary anergy. There ate many factors. ‘contributing to this escalation, including rapid population {growth and longer life spans. The process of urbanization con- tinues to accelerate, and growing amounts of electricity must be tuansported to heavily populated arees, usuelly over long dis- ‘tances. Atthe same tima, the density and complexity of urban power grids are also increasing (fig. 1-1). Fossil fuels, on the other hand, are becoming more scarce, and ‘exploration and production of oil and gas are becoming more ‘expensive, To slow the threat of climate change we must reduce ‘our CO, emissions worldwide: for power grids, this means increased integration of renewable energy sources such as ‘hydro, wind, and solar power. At the same time, it also means ‘boosting the energy efficiency of gids so they contribute to our ‘eavitonmental and climate protection efforts and help keep ‘energy costs under control. The growing international trade in ‘energy, fueled by the leralization of energy markets, and the integration of power grids across regions requires investment in ‘more transmission lines to ensure grid stability and guarantee ‘power supplies. ‘To meet all these challenges, an intelligent and flexible arid infrastructure, smart generation, and smart buildings are esser tial. Achieving this will require a fundamental shift from the traditional unidirectional flow of energy and communication to a bidirectional power flow (fi. 1-2). ln traditional power grids, ‘power generation follows the loed ~ but in the future, power ‘consumption will follow generation rather than the other way ‘around. A perfect example isthe electric car, which can be ‘charged o operated at night while drawing on cheap wind power. The grids of today and tomortow must integrate every type of power generation to bridge the increasing distances between ‘power generation — offshore wind ferms, for example ~ and the ‘The objectives sot for smart grids are as diverse as they are ‘exciting and ambitious.

Susceptibility to failure will be Considerably reduced by “self-healing” grids that manage and redundantly compensate for faults atthe locel level.

The potential of smart grids is enormous, and includes the use of buildings end electric Vehicles linked into the network as controllable power con- sumers, generators, and even storage units. Information and communication technology forms the crucial links between power generation, transmission, distribution, and ‘consumption. The smart grid will create consistent structures, ‘optimize power generation, and balance fluctuating power production with consumption (fg. 1-3). Fig, 1-3: The smart grid addresses future challenges ‘Siemens is ready to play @ leading role in the creation and expan: ‘sion of smart grids. Not only is Siemens uniquely positioned to transport and distribute power, Siemens s also a world market leader in energy automation, which plays a decisive role in the creation of smart grid. 8 Siemens Eneray Sector -PonerEncincesing Gude »6.1th Edition Smart Grids and The New Age of Energy Network planning Building smart grids isa highly complex task that begins with a detailed quantitative assessment ofthe system requirements, finition of actual targets and their required performance levels, and specification of system concepts and equipment. As @ result, a comprehensive strategy for building smart grids is necessary ~ including the part of the grid that addresses elec trical networks ‘The foundation for designing an efficient smart-grid network isa detailed analysis ofthe system's required performance. Thisis the key task for stiategic network planning. Keeping a rigorous focus on the system as. whole ensures thet the architecture and configuration deliver the necessary performance lavels, and ‘meet other requirements as well. The solution will integrate the ‘most innovative technologies for energy generation, transmis- sion, distribution, and consumption, while taking into account ‘each system's individual history end current condition. In most cases, the transition from today's network to the future smart dgrid cannot be made in one step; instead it requires step-by-step ‘modification plans. See chapter 9, page 416. Power electronics (HVDC/FACTS) Siemens power electronic solutions for High Voltage Direct CCurrent transmission (HVDC) and Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) address the greatest challenges in power transmission. FACTS devices can significantly increase the power transmission capacity of existing alternating curtent (AC) systems and extend ‘maximum AC transmission distences by balancing the varieble reactive power demand of the system. Reactive power compen- sation is used to control AC voltage, increase system stability. and reduce power transmission losses. State-of-the-art FACTS devices include Faxed series compensators (FSC) and thyristor controlled series compensators (TCSC) for series compensation, or static VAR compensators (SVC) for dynamic shunt compensation, The latest generation of Siemens SVC devices is called SVC PLUS. These are highly standardized ‘compact devices that can easily be implemented in demanding network environments; for example, to allow connection of lage offshore wind pares [AC technology has proven very effective in the generation, ‘uansmission, and distribution of electiical energy. Nevertheless, there are tasks that cennot be performed economically or with technical precision using AC. These include power transmission ‘over very long distances, as well as between networks operating asynchronously or at difforent frequencies. In contrast, a unique Teatuie of HVDC systems is thait ability to feed power into ‘networks that cannot tolerete additional increases in short- 70 ms allowed) (fig. 2.3-6) In the case of a short circuit or other fault in one of the power feeding busbars, SIPLINK seamlessly takes over the power supply. SIPLINK is short- 133 years results. This value by far exceeds that of other underground transmission systems, Basic design In order to meet mechanical stability criteria, gas-insulated lines Comprise considerable cross-sections of enclosure and conduc~ tor, which provides high-power transmission ratings. Because of the geometrical design, and 2s the insulating medium is gas, low capacitive loads are given, so that compensation of reactive [power is not needed, not even for longer distancos. A furthor important requirement taken into account isthe Situation of an ‘earth fault with @ high current of up to 63 KA to earth. Testing The Gil has been tested according to IEC 61640 (1998) "Rigid high-voltage, gas-insulated transmission lines for voltages of 72.5 kV end above" (ig. 2.5°3, fig. 2.54). Reduction of SF, content Several tests have been carried out in Siemens facilities and in other test laboratories worldwide over the course of many years ig. 2.5-3) in order to select @ most environmentally friendly insulating gas. Results of these investigations show that for Industiial projects involving a considerable amount of gas, the fig, 2.54; Siemens lab prototype for dielectric tests ‘bulk ofthe insulating gas should be nitrogen, a non-toxic natural {gas. However, another insulating gas should be added to nitrogen in order to improve the insulating capability and to ‘minimize size and pressure. An mixture of Np and SF. gas was Twehnlcal data finally chosen as the insulating medium. The characteristics of Rated voltage Upto 550% NySF. ges mixtures show that the insulating capebity of pure gated curent pes O00 ‘Fe can be reached with an SF, content of only 20 % and a siightly higher pressure.

The welding process is highly automated, with the use of an orbital welding machine. This orbital welding machine Contributes to high productivity in the welding process and thorefare speeds up laying the lines. The reliably of the welding process is controlled by an integrated computerized ‘quality assurance system, Laying Laying must be as compatible as possible with the landscape, and must take into account the change of seasons of the year Tre laying techniques for pipelines have been improved over many years. With certain modifications, these techniques are applicable for Gi as a “pipeline for electrical current", to, GIL. need different treatment, especially ragarding the protection of the assembly area against dust, particles, humidity and other ‘environmental factors that might disturb the dialectic system, Clean assembly plays an important role in setting up cross-coun- ty GIL under normal environmental conditions. A high level of automation of the overall process makes clean assembly and enhanced productivity possible Above ground installation GIL installation above ground ise trouble-free option, even for ‘extreme environmental conditions. GIL are unatfacted by high ambient temperatures, intensive solar radiation or severe atmospheric pollution (such as dust, sand or moisture). Corto: sion protection is not always strictly necessary (fig. 2-5-6). ‘Tunnel installation Tunnels made up of prefabricated structural elements are another quick and easy method of GIL installation. The tunnel ‘elements are assembled in a trench, which is then backfilled to prevent any long-term disfiguring of the local landscape. The Gi is installed once the tunnel has been completed. With this ‘method of installation the land above the tunnel can be fully restored to agricultural use. Only @ neatiaible emount of het is dissipated to the soll from the GIL (fig. 2.5-7) Vertical installation (Gac-insulated tubular conductors can be installed without problem at eny gradient, even vertically, This makes them @ top solution especially for cavern hydropower plants, where large amounts of energy have to be tansmitted from the bottom machine transformer to the switchgear and overhead line on the Surface. AS GIL systems pose no fre risk, they can be installed in 2 tunnel or shaft that is accessible and can also be used for Ventilation at the same time. Direct burying Tre most recently developes Siemens Gil are also designed for divecty buried laying. Directly buried gas-insulated transmission lines ate safeguarded by a passive and active corrosion protec tion system. The passive corrosion protection system comprises Fig. 2.5:8: Directly buried Gi 32 Siemens Eneray Sector -PonerEncineering Gude -6.1th Edition Power Transmi: sion and Distribution Solutions 2.5 Power Transmission Lines ‘a coating and ensures atleast 40 years of protection. The active corrosion protection system provides protection potential in relation to the aluminum sheath, Magnetic fields measured at the surface are minimal. Once instalation is complete, the land ‘can be returned to agricultural use with minor restictions (ig. 25-8), Long-term performance The long-tarm performance of GIL for long-distance installations thas been proven by the independent test leboretory IPH, Berlin, ‘Germany, and the former Berlin power utility BEWAG (now, Vatten‘all Europe) using long-term test procedures for power, cables. This result confirrns more than 30 years of field experi fence with GIL installations worldwide. The test procedure consisted of load cycles with doubled voltage and increased ‘current as well as frequently repeated high-voltage tests. The assembly and repair procedures under realistic site conditions were also examined, The Siemens GIL was the fistin the world to have passed these tests, without any problems. Fig. 2.5-3, shows the test setup arranged in a tunnel of 3 m diameter. 1ed experience with gas-insulated trens lines at ratee voltages of up to 550 kV and with pha: totaling more then 80 km (2010). Implemented projects include laying GIL in tunnels, sloping galeries, vertical shafts, open-air installations, as well as directly buried. Flanging as well as welding has been applied as @ jointing technique. The first GIL stietch built by Siemens was the connection of the turbine generator pumping motor of a pumped-storage power station with the switchyard, The 420 KV GIL i aid in a tunnel through a mountain end hes a single-phese lenath of 4,000m (fig, 2.5-1). This connection was commissioned at the pumped- storage power station of Wehr in the Black Forest in Souther Germany in 1975, In the Limberg I pumped-storage power station in Kaprun, ‘Austria, builtin 2070, a GIL system was laid in a shaft with 2 ‘gradient of 42°. It connects the cavern power plant with the 360 kV overhead line at an elttude of about 1,600 meters. As GIL systems pose no fire risk, the Gil tunnel is nct only acces- sible but also used for ventilation purposes. That resulted in substantial cost reduction by eliminating the need for a second shaftin tis project (fig. 2.5-10). [As typical example for low EMC values stands the PALEXPO project in Geneva, Switzerland. A GiL system in a tunnel Substitutes 500 meters of a former 300 KV double overhead line which had to move for the raised exhibition center building. The line owner based his decision to opt for @ GIL solution over @ ‘able solution on the GI's much better values with respect to EMC.

In densely populated areas like Central Europe, underground cables prevail in the distribution sector, and overhead powerlines in the high-voltage trensmission sector. In other parts of the world, For example, in North America, ‘overhead lines are often also used for distribution purposes within cities. Siemens has planned, designed and erected overhead power lines for al important voltage levels in many parts of the word, Selection of line voltage For the distribution and transmission of electric power, standardized voltages according to 1EC 60038 are used world- wide. For 3-phase AC applications, three voltage levels prevail: Low voltage (up to 1 kV AC) 1H Medium voltage (between 1 kV and 36 KV AC) 1 High voltage (betwaen 52 KV and 765 kV AC) and higher Low-voltage lines serve households and small business consum- es. Lines on the medium-vottage level supply sial setilements, individual industrial plants and large consumers; the trensmis- sion capacity is typically ess than 10 MVA per circuit. The high-voltage circuits up to 145 kV serve for subtransmission of the eloctric power regionally, and Feed the medium-voltage ‘network, This level is often chosen to support the medium-volt- ‘age level even ifthe electric power is below 10 MVA. Moreover, ‘some of these high-voltage ines also transmit the electric power from medium-sized generating stations, such as hydro plents on ‘small and medium rivers, and supply large-scale consumers, such as sizable industria plants or steel mills. They constitute the connection between the interconnected high-voltage arid ‘and the local distribution networks. The bandwidth of electri power transported corresponds to the broad range of uilization, ‘but rarely exceeds 100 MVA per circuit, while the surge imped. ance load is 35 MVA (approximately) In Central Europe, 245 kV lines were used for interconnection of ‘power supply systems before the 420 kV level was introduced for this purpose. Long distance transmission, for example, between the hydro power plants in the Alps and consumers, was done by 245 kV ines. Nowadays, the importance of 245 kV lines is decreasing due to the existence of the 420 kV transmission network. The 420 kV level represents the highest operation voltage used for AC transmission in Central Europe. It typically Interconnects the power supply systems and transmits the energy ‘over long distances. Some 420 KV lines connect the national gids (of the incividual European countries onabling interconnectod ‘network operation (UCTE = Union for the Co-ordination of Transmission of Electricity) throuchout Europe. Large power plants such as nuclear stations feed cirectiy into the 420 KV ‘network. The thermal capacity of the 420 KV circuits may reach 2,000 MVA, with a surge impedance load of approximately {600 MVA and a transmission capacity up to 1,200 MVA. ‘overhead powerlines with voltages higher than 420 kV AC will be required in the future to economically transmit bulk electric ower over long distances, a task typically arising when utilizing hydro, wind and solar energy potentials far away from consumer centers. Fig 2.5-12 depicts schematically the renge of applica- tion for the individual AC voltage levels based on the distance of tuansmission and the power rating. The voltage level has to be selected based on the task of the line within the network or on ‘the results of network planning. Siemens has carried out such studies for power supply companies all over the world High-voltage direct current However, when considering bulk power transmission ever long distances, a more economical solution is the high-voltage direct, ‘current (HVDC) technofogy. Siemens isin the position to offer ‘complete solutions for such interconnections, starting with network studies and followed by the design, assistance in project, development and complete turnkey supply and construction of ‘such plants. For DC transmission no standard is currently available, The DC voltages vary from the voltage levels recommended in the above-mentioned standardized voltages used for AC. HVDC transmission is used for bulk power transmission and for system interconnection, The line voltages epplied for projects worldwide vary between = 300 kV, #400 KV, 500 kV, #600 kV ‘and recently (2007), #800 kV. The selection of the HVDC line voltege is ruled by the following parameters |B Amount of power to be transferred |B Length of the overhead powerline 1m Permissible power losses '& Economical conductor size ‘The advantages of DC transmission over AC transmission are: |B ADClink allows power transfer between AC networks with different frequencies or networks that cannot be synchronized. 1 Inductive and capacitive parameters do not limit the ‘transmission capacity or the maximum length of a 0C ‘overhead transmission line | The conductor cross-section can be more or less fully utilized because there is no skin effect caused by the line frequency. | DC overhead power lines are much more economical to built and require les right-of way.

This graph must be seen as a general guideline. Any project should be separately evaluated on a case-by-case basis, ‘The budgets established for this evaluation are based on 2007 figures. 24, Siemens Energy Sector -Poner Encineesing Guide - 61th Eéition Power Transmission and Distribution Solutions 2.5 Power Transmission Lines Conclusions 1 300 kV voltage level: ‘The range of 750 and 1,000 km with a power transfer of {600 MW has been valuated.

For many yea's, aluminum and its elloys have ‘been the prevaiiing conducting materials for power lings due to the favorable price, the low weight and the necessity of certain ‘minimum cross-sections. However, aluminum is a very corrosive ‘metal. But a dence oxide layer is formed that staps further corrosive attacks. Therefore, up to a certain level, aluminum conductors are well-suited for areas in which corrosion is problem, for exemple, a maritime climate For aluminum conductors, there are a number of different designs in use. All-zluminum conductors (AAC) have the highest conductivity fora given cross-section; however, they possess only 2 low mechanical stiength, which limits their application to short spans and low tensile forces. To increase the mechanical Strength, wires made of aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloys are adopted. Their strength is approximately twice that of pure ‘aluminum, But single-material conductors like allaluminum and aluminum alloy conductors have shown suscepribility to eolian vibrations. Compound conductors with a steel core, so-called aluminum conductor, staol-reintorced (ACSA), avoid this, disadvantage. The ratio between aluminum and steel renges from 4,3:1 to 11:1, An aluminum-to-steel ratio of 6.0 or 7.7, provides an economical solution, Conductors with a ratio of 4.3 should be used for lines installed in regions with heavy wind and ‘ce loads. Conductors with a ratio higher then 7.7 provide higher Conductivity, But beceuse of lower conductor strength, the segs are bigger, which requires higher towers. Experience has shown that ACSR conductors, just like elurminum, {and aluminum alloy conductors, provide the most economical solution and offer a life span greater than 40 years, Conductors are selected according to electrical, thermal, mechanical ané ‘economic aspects.

When it comes to smaller switching stations, or in cases of expansion where installation in a building does not provide any advantage, installing the substation in @ container is good solution, Mobile containerized switchgear ‘At medium-voltage levels, mobile containerized switchgear is the state of the art. Even high-voltage switching stations can be ‘built this way and are economically oparated in many applica- tions. At the core is the metabenclosed SFinsulated switchgear, instalied either in a sheet-steel container or in a block house ‘made of prefabricated concrete elements. tn contrast 10 conventional stationary switchgear, there is no need for complicated constructions, as mobile switching stations come with their own “building” (fg. 3.1-40, fig. 3.1-41). Mobile containerized switching stations can be of single-bay oF ‘multi-bay design with a large number of different circuits and arrangements. Allof the usual connection components can be ‘employed, among them outdoor bushings, cable adapter boxes ‘and SF, tubular connections, i nacessary, all control and protection equipment as well 2s that for lacal supply can be Fig. 3.141: Containerized 80N9 switchgear bay 76] Siamens Eneray Sector - Power Encincesing Gude »6.1th Edition Switchgear and Substations 3.1 High-Voltage Substations ‘accommodated in the container, This allows largely independent ‘operation of the installation on site. Containerized switchgear is ‘pre-assembled at the factory and ready for operation. The only on-site work required Is setting up the containers, fitting the ‘exterior system parts and makin the external connections. Shifting the switchgear assembly work to the factory enhances ‘quality and operational reliability. Mobile containerized switchgear has a small footprint and usually fits well within the environment. For operators, prompt availability and short commissioning times are a further significant advantage. Considerable cost reductions are achieved in planning, Construction work and assembly. ‘Approvals from ullding authorities are elther not raquired or required in a simplified form. The installation cen also be ‘operated at various locations in succession. Adaptation to local Circumstances is not problem. The following are the possible applications for containerized stations: 1 Intarim solutions during the modernization of switching stations 1 Low-cost transitional solutions where new construction of transformer substations involves tedious formalities, such as the procurement of land or the establishment of cable routes, 1 Quick erection as an emergency station in the event of malfunctioning of the existing switchgear 1B Switching stations for movable geothermal power plants GIS for up to 245 kV ino standard container ‘Tne dimensions of the EONS switchgear make it possible to accommodate all active components of the switchgear (circuit- breaker, disconnector, earthing switch) and the local control Cubicle in a standard container. The floor area of 6.1 mx 7.44 m complies with the 1S 668 standard. Although the container ‘exceeds the standard dimension of 2.44 m, this will not cause any problem during transportation, a fact that has already been proven by several equipment deliveries. German Lloyd, an approval authority, already issued a test certiticate for an even higher container construction. The standard dimensions and ISO comer fittings facitate handling during transport in the 6.1m frame of a container ship and on a low-loader truck. Twa doors provide the operating staff with access to the container.

For design purposes, the indoor temperatures should be between -5 °C and +40°C, and outdoor temperatures should be between -30 °C and +40 °C (+50 °C). For parts to be installed outdoors (overheedine connections), the conditions described in I&C 62271-203 will be observed. For the enclosures, aluminum or aluminum alloys are preferred, ‘A minimum of on-site erection work will ensure maximum reliability. Any subassemblies will be erected and tested at the factory. Subassembly size is restricted only by transport require- ments. Siemens will provide the enclosure in a meteriel and thickness suited to withstand an internal arc and prevent burn-throughs or punctures within the fist stage of protection, referred to the rated short-circuit current of the given GIS type.

Low-voltage main distribution When selecting a low-voltage mein distribution system, the prorequisite for its efficient sizing is knowing about its Use, availability and future options for extension. The requirements for power distribution are extremely diverse. Normally frequent switching operations need not be considered in the planning of power istribution for commercial, institu tional and industrial building projects, and extensions are generally not to be expected. For these reasons, a performance ‘optimized technology with high component density can be used. In these cases, Siemens mainly uses crcuit-breeker protected ‘equipment in fixed-mountes design. When planning a power distribution system for @ production plant, however, system availabilty, extendibility, control and the visualization of status Information and control functions are important issues related to keeping plant downtimes as short es possible. The use of circuit-breaker protected technology in withdrawable design is Important. Selectivity is also of great importance for reli able power supply, Between these two extremes there is 0 great design variety that should be optimally matched to customer requirements. The prevention of personal injury and damage to ‘equipment must, however, be the fist priority in any case. When selecting appropriate switchgear, it must be ensured tha type-tested switchgear assembly (TTA, in compliance with DIN VDE 0660 Part 500, IEC 439-1 and EN 60439-1, with ‘extended testing of behavior in the event of an internal arc fault (IEC 61641, VDE 0660 Part S00, Addendum 2) Low-voltege main distribution systems should be chosen among those featuring a total supply power up to 3 RIVA. Up to this rating, the equipment and distribution systems are relatively inexpensive due to the maximum short-circuit currents to be encountered. For rated currents up to 3.200 A, poner distribution via busbars {is usually sufficiont ifthe arrangement of the incomingloutgoing feeder panels and coupler panels has been selected in 2 performance-related way.

A falure here would result in the entire ‘network and therefore the building or production being without power. This worst-case scenario must be considered during the planning. Redundant system supplias and selective protection setting are important preconditions for a sefe network configue ration, The selection of the corract protective devices is there- fore of elementary importance in order to create these precondi- tions, Some of the key dimensioning data is addressed in the following. Roted current ‘The feeder ciuit-breaker in the LVMD must he dimensioned for the maximum load of the transformer/generator. When using ventilated transformers, the higher operating current of up to 1.5 x fyof the transformer must be taken into account Short-circuit strength The short-circuit strength of the feeder cicuit-breaker is determined by (2=1) x Ignay OF the transformer or transformers (r= number of transformets). This means that the maximum short-circuit current that occurs at the installation position must bbe known in order to specify the appropriate short-circuit strength of the protective device (f,). initial orientation is provided in the table of short-circuit currants (see Totally Integrated Power, Application Manual, Basic Data and Pretimina- ry Planning, chapter 10, page 10120). Exact short-circuit current Calculations including attenuations of the medium-voltage levels or the laid cables can be made, for example, with the eid of the SIMARIS dosign dimensioning software, SIMARIS design deter- ‘mines the maximum and minimum short-circuit currents and, automatically dimensions the correct protective devices Utilization category When dimensioning a selective network, time grading of the protective devicas is essential. When using time grading up to 500 ms, the selected cicuit-breaker must be able to cerry the Short-crcuit current that occurs for the set time. Close to the ‘uansformer, the currents are very high. This current carrying capacity is specified by the ly value (rated short-time withstand Current) of the circuit-breaker; this means the contact syste ‘must be able to carry the meaimum short-circuit current, ue. the ‘energy contained therein, until the circut-breakeris tripped. This requirement is satisfied by cicuit-breakers of utilization category 8 (¢.9 ar circuit breakers, ACB). Current-imiting circuit breakers (molded-case circuit breakers, MCB) tip during the current rise. They can therefore be constructed more compactly Release Fora selective network design, the release (rip unt) of the feedar circult-breaker must have an LSI characteristic, t must be possible to deactivate the instantaneous release (D. Depending fon the curve characteristic ofthe upstream and downstream protective devicas, the characteristics of the feeder circuit-break- {erin the overload range (L) and also in the time-lag short-circuit range (S) should be optionally switchable (It or It characteristic ‘curve). This facilitates the adaptation of upstream and down- stream devices, Internol accessories Depending on the respective contiol, not only shunt releases (previously: releases), butalso undervoltage releases are required. Communication Information about the current operating states, maintenance, ‘error messages and analyses, etc. is being increasingly required, ‘especially rom the very sensitive supply circuits. Flexibility may be required with regard to a later upgrade or retrofit to the desired type of data transmission. Device Application in Supply Circuits (Coupling) Ifthe coupling (connection of Network 1 to Network 2) is ‘operated open, the circut-breaker (tie breaker) only has the function of an isolator or main switch. A protective function (‘elease) is not absolutely necessary. ‘The following considerations apply to closed operation: Rated current Must be dimensioned for the maximum possible operating current (loed compensation). The simultaneity fector cen be assumed to be 0. Short cirevt strength The short-circuit strength of the feeder circut-breaker is determined by the sum of the shori-crcuit components that flow ‘through the coupling. This dopends on the configuration of the ‘component busbars and their supply Utilization cotegory ‘As for the system supply, utilization category B is also required for the current carrying capacity (ley value). Release Partial shutdown with the couplings must be taken into consid- eration for the supply reliability. AS the coupling and the feeder cicuit- breakers have the same current components when a fault ‘occurs, similar to the parallel operation of two transformers, the LI characteristic is required. The special “Zone Selective Interlocking (2Siy" function shoule be used for larger networks andlor protection settings that are difficult to determine. Device Application in the Distribution Circuit ‘The distribution circuit receives power from the higher level (Gupply circuit) and feeds it to the next distribution lovel (final cuit) Depending on the country local practices, atc, circult-breakers ‘and fuses can be used for system protection; in principle, all protective devices described in this chapter. 124, Siemens Energy Sector - Power Encineesing Guide - 61th Edition Switchgear and Substations 3.3 Low-Voltage Switchgear cce Acboir molded.

The disconnector base supports the operating mechanism and two rotating porcelain support insulators. the Ccurtent path arms which are fied to the insulators open in the Center. Each rotating unit comprises two high-quality ball ‘bearings and is designed for high mechanical loads. They are lubricated end maintenance-free for the entire service life (fig. 4.1-22). ‘The current path of the center-break disconnector consists of only 2 few components, thus the number of cantact resistances is reduced to a minimum, The main contact system of block contact and spread contact fingers assures a steady contact force even after decades of operation (fig. 4.1-23).

Siemens Energy Sector - Power Encineesing Guide - 61th Edition Products and Devices 4.1 High-Voltage Circuit-Breakers and Disconnectors Pantograph disconnectors This type is generally used in double-busbar systems to connect the two busbars or a busbar toa line. The main components of a pantograph discannector are ig. 41-24): 1 Scissor arms (1) 1m Bearing freme (2) 1 Support insulator (3) 1m Rotating insulator (4) 1H Motor operating mechanism (5) Rotary contact systems inside the joints, which have thermal and dynamic current carrying capacity, are used for current transfer ‘The geomatry of the pantograph ensures optimum operational behavior. ‘The specific contact force is adjusted in the factory and remains unchanged during service if. Ice loads of up to 20 mm can be broken without difficulties. In both end positions of the disconnector, the rotary arm in the bearing frame is switched beyon the dead center point. The snitch position cannot be changed by external forces. The rigi lof the scissor arms prevents opening during a short-circuit. Pantograph disconnectors with rated voltages from 123 kV up to 362 kV are optionally equipped with group operating mecha- nisms or 1-pole operating mechanisms. All pentogreph discon: ‘nectors for high rated voltages are equipped with 1-pole ‘operating mechanisms. Vertical-break disconnectors The current path ofthe vertical-break disconnector opens vertically and requires a minimum phase distance (fig. 41-25). The current path performs two mevements: B® Avertical swinging movement 1B Arotary movement around its own longitudinal axis ‘The rotary movement generates the contact force and breaks possible ice ayers. In both end positions, the rotary arm is switched beyond the dead center point. This locks the current path in the short-cir cuit proof CLOSED position, and prevents the current path from ‘snitching to the OPEN position under external forces. ‘The ample distance between support insulator and rotating insulator ensures dielectric strength of the parallel insulation ‘even under saline fog conditions. ‘The movable part ofthe current path is one single subassembly which is pre-edjusted and routine-tested at the factory. This allows for easy and quick instalation and commissioning on site. Double-side break disconnectors ‘The double side break disconnector Features three support insulators.

Both end support insulators are fixed The main application of double-side break disconnectors are substations with limited phase distances and where vertical ‘opening of the current path is not possible. High mechanical terminal loads are possible due to the compact and stable design, Itcan also be combined with an integrated surge arrester (ig. 4.1-26). For voltage lovels up to 245 ky, the contact fingers of the double-side break disconnectors are integrated into the current path tube, and the fixed contacts consist of contact blocks. The Current path performs a horizontal swinging movement, and the ‘contact force is generated by spreading the contact fingers while sliding on the contact blocks. For voltage levels higher than 245 KV, contact strips are attached to the ends of the current path tubes. The contact fingers are part Of the fixed contacts. In this design, the curcent path performs a ‘combined swinging and rotary movement. After completion of the swinging movement, the contact force is generated by the rotation of the current path around its own axis. knee-type disconnectors This disconnector type has the smallest horizontal and vertical space requirements, The knee-type disconnector has two fixed {and one rotating insulator. Thanks to its folding-aim design, only ited overhead clearance is required, which results in lower, investment costs (fig. 41-27).

Free-standing earthing switches are available for all voltage levels up to 800 AY. ‘Suitable bullt-on earthing switches are available forall discon- rector types of the Siemens scope of supply. ‘According tothe system operators’ requirements, builton ‘earthing switches can be arranged laterally or in integrated rangement with respect to the position of the main current ppath of the disconnector witen needed. Optionally, all earthing switches can be designed for switching induced inductive and capacitive currents according to IEC 162271-102, Class Aor Class 8. Motor operating mechanisms ‘The motor operating mechanisms consist of three main, subassemblies resistant housing with motor 1m Electrical equipment with auxiliary switch ‘The motor operating mechanism can also be operated manually by ahend crank which cen be inserted in the cubicle. The insertion of the hand crank automaticaly isolates the motor Circuit for safety purposes. Heaters are provided to prevent condensetion (fig. 4.129). ‘The auxiliary switch is custom-fitto the geer unit and signals the switch position with absolute reliability. This ensures safe substation operation, ‘after the motor starts, the auuillary switch moves and the switch position signal is cancelled. The disconnector operates thereat ter until the end position is reached. ‘The auxiliary switch then moves again and issues the switch position signal ‘This sequence ensures that the CLOSED position is indicated only after the cisconnector is locked and shart-circut-proof, and the rated current can be carried.

Transformer substations receive power from the high-voltage system and transform it down to the medium voltage level, Mediurnvoltage equipment is also available in secondary transformer or transfer substations (secondary distribution level), where the powers transformed down from medium to low voltage and distributed to the end ‘The product line of the medium-voltage switching devices contains (fig. 4-2-1): 1m Circuitbreakers © Switches 1 Contactors Disconnectors W Switch-disconnectors, Earthing switches Requirements In CLOSED condition, the switching device has to offer minimum resistance to the flow of normal and short-circuit currents. In ‘OPEN condition, the open contact gap must withstand the appearing voltages safely. Alllive parts must be sufficiently ‘isolated to earth and between phases when the switching device is open or closed, ‘The switching device must be able to close the circuit voltage is applied. For disconneciors, however, this condition is only requasted for the de-energized state, except for small oad currents ‘The switching device should be able to open the circuit while ‘current is flowing. This isnot requested for disconnectors.

Outdoor circuit-breakers have the same applications, but are also exposed to weather influences. Switches Switches must make and break normal Currents up to their rated normal current, and be able to make on existing short Circuits (up to their rated short-circuit ‘making current), However, they connot break any short-circuit currents. a Contactors Contactors are load breaking devices with a limited making and breaking capacity. They are used for high switching rates but can neither make nor break short- reuit currents. i. 4.2-7: Product ine af medium-valtage switching devices 4.2.2 Selection of Components by Ratings The switching devices and all other equipment must be selected for the system data available at the place of installation. This system data defines the ratings ofthe components (table 4.2-1), Rated insulation level The rated insulation level s the dielectic strenoth from phase to ‘earth, between phases and across the open contact gap, oF across the isolating distance, The dielectric stength is the capability of an electrical compo- nent to withstand all volteces with a specific time sequence up to the magnitude of the corresponding withstand voltages. ‘These can be operating voltages or higher-frequency voltages caused by switching operetions, earth faults (internal overvolt: ages) or lightning strikes (external overvaitages). The dielectric strength is verified by @ lightning impulse withstand voltage test with the standard impulse wave of 1.2/50 ps and a power fro quency withstand voltage test (50 Hz!t min) Rated voltage The rated voltage isthe upper limit of the highest system voltage the device is designed for.

The non-linearity of MO resistors, is considerably high, For this reason, MO atrestets, as the arresters with MO resistors are known today, do not need series gaps (fig. 4-4-1). roar ait aapriagm Siemens has many years of experience with arresters ~ with the previous gapped SiC arresters and the new gapless MO arresters - in low-voltage systems, distribution systems and ‘uensmission systems.

Siemens Energy Sector - Power Engineering Guide» 6.1th Edition | 185 Products and Devices 44 Surge Arresters ‘Tradition and innovation Fig. 44-2 shows a Siemens MO arrester in a traditional porcelain housing, @ well proven technology representing decades of Siemens experience. Siemens also offers surge artesters with polymer housings forall system voltages end mechenical requirements. These arresters are divided into two subgroups: 1 Cage design™ arresters, 1B Tube design arresters, Fig. 4.43 shows the sectional view of a tube design arrester. The housing consists ofa fiberglass-reinforced plastic tube with insulating sheds made of silicone rubber. The advantages of this, design, which has the same pressure relief device as an arrester with porcelain housing, are absolutely safe and reliable pressure relief characteristics, high mechanical strength even after ‘prossure reliof and excellent pollution-resistant properties. The very good mechanical features mean that Siemens arresters with 2 polymer housing (type 3EQ) can serve as post insulators as, ‘well. The pollution-resistant properties are the result of the water-repellent effect (hydrophobicity) ofthe silicone rubber, which even transfers its effacts to pollution, ‘The newest types of polymer surge arresters also feature the cage design. While using the same MO resistors, they have the same excellent electrical characteristics as the 3EP and 3£Q types. The difference is that the 3EL (fig. 4.4-4) types get their ‘mechanical performance from 2 cage built up by fiber-reinforced plastic rods. Furthermore, the whole active part is directly and completely molded with silicone rubber to prevent moisture ingress and partial discharges. The polymer-housed high-voltage arrester design chosen by Siemens ane the high-quelity matari- als used by Siemens provide a whole series of advantages, including long life and suitebility for outdoor use, high mechani- cal stability and ease of disposal. ‘Another important design are the gas-insulated metal-enclosed surge arresters (GIS arrester, fig. 4.4-5). Siemens has been ‘making these arresters for more than 25 yeers. There are two reasons why, when GIS arresters are used with gas-insulated snitchgear, they usually offer a higher protective safety margin than when outdoor-iype arvesters ere used: First, they can be installed closer to the item to be protected so thet traveling wave effects can be limited more effectively. Second, compared with the outdoor type, inductance of the installation is lower (both that of the connecting conductors and that of the arrester itself), This means thet the protection offered by GIS artesters is ‘much better than that offered by any other method, especially in the case of surges with a very steep rate of rise or high frequen gy, to which gas-insulated switchgear is exceptionally sensitive.

When used for metering purposes, instrument transformers provide voltage or current Signals that ave very accurate representations of the transmis sion line values in both magnitude and phase. These signals allow accurate determination of revenue bling. When used for protection purposes, the instrument transformer ‘outputs must accurately represent the transmission line values during both steady-state end transient conditions. These critical signals provide the basis for ccuit-broaker operation under fault conditions, and as such are fundamental to network relebility and security. Instrument transformers used for network contiol supply important information for determining the state of the operating conditions ofthe network. Reliability and security strurent transformer refers tots a Consistently satisty proscribed performance criteria over its expected useful lifetime under specified operating conditions. Security refers to the acceptability and consequences of the Instrument transformer failure mode in the event that it does fail, due either to being subjected to stresses in excess of those for which it was designed, or due to its reaching the end of its expected service life ‘The reliability and security characteristics of an instrument tuansformer are governed by the electrical and insulation design, the manufacturing and processing technology used and the specific physical arrangement. The partial discharge perfor- ‘mance under in-service conditions isa key determining factor in the life expectancy and long-term reliability of an instrument ‘uansformer. IEC stancards require a partial discharge value of less than 10 9C at Ungr. Due to the demanding requirements of today’s HV and EHV networks, the Trench Group has elected to adopt, ‘even more stringent internal requirements. As such, Trench instrument transformers typically perform much better than requited by these standards with proven field experience with tens of thousands of units in operation over more than 50 years in almost every country worldwide. Typical designs are bilimmersed or gas-insulated (fig. 4.5-1). ll-mmersed instrument transformers, The reliability and security of Tench oibinsulated inductive instrument transformers is proven by inservice experience Spanning up to 50 years and more than 10,000 units in service Under a wide variety of different environmental conditions. The transformer is based on state-of-the-art design and a secure failure mode. In the event of unexpected stresses from the Network, sacure fallure is achieved through the use ofa “barrier construction” design in the free oil section, This approach consists (of inserting insulating barriers at strategic points through the free «il space, thereby preventing the formation of fiber bridges. Furthermore a rupture of the housing, particularly of the hallow insuletor with builtin finely graded capacitor bushing, is improbable because of the over-dimansioning of the bushing ‘and the sold electrical connection between the core housing ‘and the ground, Hover pressure occurs, the protection is guaranteed by the: 1m Very thin welded elastic housing 1m Stainless-steel bellows for the oil expansion Both the weldes seam, which connects the upper and lower portions of the head housing, and the metallic bellows are designed to act as pressure ralicf points in the event of sovere internal pressure buildup. Because the unit has a normal internal oil pressure of approxi= imately 1 bar absolute. its possible to design these pressure re points to rupture at very moderate pressures. Additional safety is ‘achieved by the solection of composite insulators, available in the hole range as an alternative to the traditional porcelain. Pressure relief for capacitive voltage transformers is provided by ‘bellows puncture pin and through the use of porcelain, which is strong enough to result in any rapid pressure rise being releesed through the sea plates at the ends ofthe porcelain rather than via explosion of the porcelain itself. Upon request, cilimmersed instrument transformers can also be supplied ‘composite insulators. Gas-insulated instrument transformers The reliability and security of Trench gas-insulated instrument transformers is based on’ 50 years of experience as a manufacturer of instrument transformers covering epoxy resin and oll-paper |B Thousands of gas-insulated instrument transformers in service under a wide variety of cifferent environmental conditions Explosion-proot design ‘The present Trench gas-insulated instrument transformers, were initially designed in 1955 at the request of customers, who sought to achieve explosion-proof operation. SF, 935 insulation, combined with composite insulators, is particularly suitable for this, because in the event of an internal flashover, the pressute increase wil be linear and hence technically manageeble. A controlled pressure relief device at the head of the transformer (rupture disc) eliminates unacceptable mechanical stresses in the housing; i., only the rupture disc is released. Gas escapes, but the complete transformer remains intact and no explosion occurs 190) Siemens Energy Sector - Power Encineesing Guide - 61th Edition Products and Devices 455 Instrument Transformers ‘Most reliable insulction properties ‘SF gas is the main insulation medium between high-voltage ‘and earth potential. A stable quality can be guaranteed by the use of SF, gas according to ANSI/OIN and the fact thar this inert {gas shows no eveing even under the highest electrical end thermal stresses. The insulation properties remain unchanged throughout its lifetime. All ofthese features guarentee an ‘operation period ever many years without any control of the insulation condition Full functional security end monitoring ‘The guaranteed SF, leakage rate is less than 0.5 % per year. The _g2s pressure can be checked on site or by means of a remote contol device, Le,, 2 dansimetar with contacts for remote Control. In the case of loss of SF, pressure, the transformer still ‘operates at rated pressure. Environmentally beneficial under extremely severe conditions SF. gas is absolutely safe for humans. It bears ne ecologically toxic potential and its decomposition products have no deleten- ‘us effects on the environment, ¢.g., groundwater pollution, This SF gas insulation medium allows easy waste management of the transformers.

Thus they are used either to measure and record the twansmitted power, or to feed protection dovices with evaluable signals, which enable the protection device, for example, to trip a switching device depending on the situation. Current transformers In this context, curtent transformers (fig. 4.5-13, left) can be regarded as transformers working in short circuit. The full ‘normal curtent flows through their primary side. Devices connected on the secondary side are series-connected, Currant ttansformers can have several secondary windings with mag- netically separated cores of the same or different characteristics.

The unique custom design approach, along with fully integrated engineering and manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe and China have enabled Trench to ‘become the technica! leader for high-voltage inductors world- wide. ‘Adeep commitment tothe power industry, along with extensive Investmentin engineering, manufacturing and test capability, sive Trench customers the utmost in high-quality, reliable products that are ingividually designed for each application. Trench reactor applications have grown from smalldistibution Class, current-limiting reactors to complex EHV-applied reactors surpassing 300 MVA per coil. Reactors are manufactured in accordance with the !SO 9001 {quality standard. Trench’s highly developed research and development program constantly addresses new technologies ‘and their potential application in reactor products. Trench welcomes challenges for new applications for power reactors, Design features Design features of air-core dry-type reactors are: 1 Epoxy impregnated, fibergiass-oncapsulated construction | Aluminum construction throughout with all current carrying, connections welded 1 Highest mechanical and short-circuit strength © Essentially zero radial-voltage stress, with uniformly graded, axial-voltage distribution between terminals 5 Low noise levels are maintained throughout the life of the reactor 1m Weatherproof construction, with minimum maintenance requirements 1m Design service life in excess of 30 years 1m Designs available in compliance with ANSUIEEE, IEC and other major standards Construction [A Trench air-core éry-type reactor consists of a number of parallo-connected, individually insulated, aluminum (capper on request) conductors (fig. 4.6-1). These conductors can be small wire or proprietary cables custom-designed and custom- ‘manufactured. The size and type of conductor used in each reactor is dependent on the reactor specification, The various, styles and sizes of conductors available ensure optimum performance at the most economical cost. ‘The windings are mechanically reinforced with epoxy resin impregnated fiberglass, which after a carefully defined oven ‘cure cycle produces an encapsulated coll. A network of horizon: tal and vertical fiberglass ties coupled with the encapsulation ‘minimizes vibration in the reactor and achieves the highest available mechanical strength. The windings are terminated at tifting eyenut Metalic spider Cooling duct spacers Terminal Fig, 4.61: Typical Trench air-core dry type roactor construction ‘each end to a set of aluminum bars called a spider. This con- struction results in a very rigid unit capable of withstanding the stresses developed under the most severe short-circuit condi- tions. Exceptionally high levels of terminal pul, tensile strength, wind loading and seismic withstand can be accommodated with the Feactor, This unique design can be installed in all ypes of climates and environments and still offer optimum performance. Trench aircore dry-type reactors are installed in polluted and ‘corrosive areas and supply trouble-free operation. in addition to the standard fied reactance type of coll, units can be supplied with teps for variable inductance. A number of methods are available to vary inductance for fine-tuning orto provide a range of larger inductance steps. In addition, Trench utilzes various other designs for reactors, £9, iron-core and mater-cooled. Series reactors Reactors are connected in series with the line ot feeder. Typical uses are fault-current reduction, load balancing in paralle!, Circuits, limiting intush currents of capacitor banks, et. Currentlimiting teactors CCurrent-limiting reactors reduce the short-circuit current to levels within the rating of the equipment on the load side of the reactor (fig, 4.6-2). Applications range from the simple distribu: ton feeder reactor to large bus-tie and load-balancing reactors (on systems rated up to 765 kVI2 100 KY BIL Siemens Energy Sector - Power Engineering Guide» 6.1th n |397 Products and Devices 4.6 Coil Products (HV) opecitor reactors Capacitor reactors are designed to be installed in series with a shunt-connected capacitor bank to limit inrush currents due to ‘switching, to limit outrush currents due to close-in faults, and to control the resonent frequency of the system due to the adcition Of the capacitor banks. Reactors can be installed on system voltages through 765 kV/2 100 kY BIL. When specifying capacitor reactors, the requested continuous current rating should account for harmonic current content, tolerance on capacitors and allowable system overvoltage. Buffer reactors for electric arc furnaces ‘The most effective use of buffer reactors for electric arc furnaces (EA) is achioved by operating the furnace atlow electrode current and long arc length. This requires the use ofa series, reactor in the supply system of the arc furnace transformer for stabilizing the arc. Duplex reactors Duplex reactors are current fimiting reactors thet consist of two half coils, wound in opposition. These reactors provide a desirable low reactance under normal conditions and 2 high reactance under fault conditions. Load-flow contro! reactors Load-flow control reactors are series-connected on transmission lines of up to 800 kV. The reactors change the ine impedance characteristic such thet load flow can be controlled, thus ensuring ‘maximum power transfer over agjacent transmission lines. Filter reactors Filter reactors are used in conjunction with capacitor banks 10 {orm series tuned hermonic filter circuits, or in conjunction with capacitor banks and resistors to form broadband harmonic filter Circuits. When specifying filter reactors, the magnitudes of fundamental and harmonic frequency current should be indicated. f inductance adjustment for fine-tuning is requires, the required tapping range and tolerances must be specified. Many fiter applications require a Q actor thatis very much lower than the natural Q of the reactor. This is often achieved by connecting @ resistor in the circuit. ‘An economical alternative isthe addition of a de-Qing ting structure on 2 reactor. This can reduce the Q actor of the reactor ‘by as much as one tenth without the necessity of installing adcitionel damping resistors. These rings, mounted on the reactor, are easily coupled to the magnetic field of the reactor. This eliminates the concer of space, connection and reliability of additional components such as resistors. Shunt reactors ‘Shunt reactors are used to compensate for capacitive VARS ‘generated by lightly loaded transmission lines or underground cables, They are normally connected to the transformer tertiary winding but can also be diractly connacted on systems of up to 115 kV.

Static VAR compensator reactor applications normally include: |B Thyristor-controlled shunt reactors. The compensating power is changed by controling the current through the reactor by means of the thyristor valves. 1m Thyristor-switehed reactors (TSR) \§ Thyristor-switched capacitor reactors (TSC) 1 Filter reactors (FR) HVDC reactors HVDC lines are used for long-distance bulk power transmission as well as back-to-back intarconnactions between differant ‘ensmission networks.

For distribution and power transformers, which operate continuously and most Frequently in loaded condition, this consideration is especially important. As an example, the added cost of loss-optimized transformers can in most cases be recovered via savings in ‘energy use in less than three years. Low-loss transformers use more and better materials for their ‘construction and are thus intially more expensive than low-cost transformers. By stipulating loss evaluation figures in the ‘transformer inquiry, the manufacturer receives the necessary incentive to provide a loss-optimized transformer rather than the low-cost model. Detailed loss evaluation methods for transform ‘rs have boon developed and aro described accuratoly in the literature. These methods take the project-specific evaluation factors of a given customer into account. A simplified method for ¢ quick evaluation of cifferent quoted ‘transformer losses makes the following assumptions: rhe transformers are operated continuously. The transformers operete at partial load, but this pertal load isconstant. {© Additional cost and inflation factors are not considered.

This type of transformer provides the interface between AC grids and high power rectifiers and are used to control the load flow over the OC transmission lines. These actors edapt the AC grid voltage to an adequate level which i suitable for feeding the valve system of DC converte’ and inverter. Design options The design concept of HVDC transformers is mainly influenced by the rated voltage, rated power and transportation require- ‘ments like dimensions, weight and mode of transportation. Many large power HVDC converter station are locates in rural ‘areas of low infrastructure. Frequently special geometrical profiles have to be fulfilled inorder to move such transformers by railway, ‘Typically, HVDC transformers are single phase units containing 2 winding limbs. This concept can include either 2 parallel vaive 19 (two for delta or two for wye system, fig. 5.8-1) oF two different valve windings (one for delta and one for wye, fig. 5.8-2). In order to teduce the total transportation height frequently the core assembly includes 2 return limbs. Due to redundancy requirements in HVDC stations 3 phase units are uite uncommon. ‘The valve windings are exposed to AC and DC dielectric stress {and therefore a special insulation assembly is necessary. Furthermore, special lead systems connecting the turrets and windings have to be installed in order to withstand the DC voltage of rectifier. Additionally, the load current contains ‘harmonic components of considerable energy resulting in higher losses and increased noise. Above all, special bushings are necessary for the valve side to access upper and lower winding terminals of each system from outside. Conclusively two ‘identical bushings are installed for star or delta system. For approving the proper design and quality of menufecturing special applied DC and DC polarity reversal tests have to be cartied out, The test bay has to be equipped with DC test apparatus accordingly and needs to provide adequate geometry to withstand the OC tast voltage. ‘Technical items In addition to the standard parameters of power transformers, special performance requirements have to be known for the design of HVDC transformers.

Operators have thus come to rely on their solid transformer capacity, often performing only minimal maintenance using traditional tech- niques (fig. 5.111), Today, load requirements, additional environmental constraints ‘and recent corporate sustainability objectives to keep a close eye fon the operational value of the equipment, have led Siemans to provide a comprehensive set of solutions to keep the equioment at peak level under any operational circumstances. A new generation of asset managers is interested in the “operational” value, including the replacement cost, instead of the depreci- ated book-value over decades, which is often close to zero, Power transformers are long-lasting capital investment goods. Purchasing and replacement require long periods of planning, engineering and procurement.

For many years, Siemens has also significantly influenced the. development of protection technology: 1 In 1976, the first minicomputer (process computer)-based protection system was commissioned: A total of 10 systems for 110/20 kV substations was supplied and is sill operating satisfactorily today. 1 In 1985, Siemens became the first company to manufacture 2a range of fully numerical relays with stendardized ‘communication interfaces. Siemens now offers a complete range of protection relays for all applications with numerical busbar and machine protection. More than 1,000,000 numerical protection relays from Siemens are providing successful service today as stand-alone units in tuagitional systems or as components of combined substation protection and substation contro systems. Meanwhile, the SIPROTEC 4 series has established itself right across the market, incorporating many years of operational ‘experience with thousands of relays end user requirements, (ig. 6.2-1) State-of-the-ort technology Mechanical and solid-state (static) relays have been almost completely phased out of Siemens’s production because ‘numerical relays are now preferred by users due to their decisive advantages: 1B Compact design and lower costs due to integration of mary functions into one relay 1 High eveilebility end less maintenance due to integral self-monitoring 1 No drift (aging) of measuring characteristics due to fully ‘numerical processing | High measuring accuracy éue to digital filtering and ‘optimized measuring algorithms | Many integrated add-on functions, for example, for load- monitoring, event fault recording and thermal monitoring 1 Local operation keypad and display designed to modern exgonomic criteria 1H Easy and reliable readout of information via serial interfaces with a PC, locally or remotely with DIGSI (one tool for all relays) © Possibility to communicate with higher-level control systems using standardized protocals according to IEC 61850 via Ethernet communication SIROTEC compact StPROTEC easy Fig, 6.241: SIPROTEC family ‘Modern protection management {All the functions, for example, ofa line protect be incorporated in one unit (fig. 6.2-2): 1 Distance protection with associated add-on and monitoring functions |© Universal teleprotection interface by binary input/contacts or serial interface | Auto-teclosure and synchronism check n scheme, can Protection-relaied information can be called up on-line ‘or offline, such a 1m Distance to fault 1m Feult currents and fault voltages | Relay operation data (Fault detector pickup, operating times, etc.) m Set values Line load data (kV, A, MW, KAN) 238, Siemens Energy Sector - Power Encineesing Guide -6.1th Edition Protection and Substation Automation 6.2 Protection Systems ‘To fulfil vital protection redundancy requirements, only those functions that are interdependent and directly associated with, ‘each other are integrate into the same unit. For backup protection, one or more additional units should be provided. ‘All relays can stand fully alone. Thus, the traditional protection principle of separate main and backup protection as well as the ‘external connection to the switchyard remain unchanged. “One feeder, one relay’ concept Analog protection schemes have been engineered and assem- bled from individual relays. Interwiring between these relays and scheme testing has been carried out manually in the workshop. Data sharing now allows for the integration of several protection ‘and protection-related tasks into one single numerical relay. Only a few external devices may be required for completion of the total scheme. This has significantly lowered the costs of ‘engingering, assembly, panel wiring, testing and commission- ing, Scheme failure probability has also been lowered. Engineering has moved from schematic diagrams toward a parameter definition procedure. The powerful user-definable lagic of SIPROTEC 4 allows flexible customized design for protection, control and measurement. 1 i Measuring included For many applications, the accuracy of the protection current transformer is sufficient for operational measuring. The addi- tional meacuring currant transformer was required to protect the measuring instruments under short-circuit conditions. Due to the low thermal withstand capability ofthe measuring instru- ments, they could not be connected to the protection current transformer, Consequently, additional measuring core current ‘transformers and measuring instruments are now only necassaty where high accuracy is required, e.g., or evenue metering.

With state-of-the-art two-cycle Circuit breakers, fault clearing times well below 100 ms (4 10 5 cycles) can normaly be achieved.

The Siemens ‘enginecring programs SINCAL and SIGRADE are especially designed for selective protection grading of protection relay systems. They provide short-circuit calculations, international Standard characteristics of relays, uses and circut-breakars for easy protection grading with respect to motor starting, intush phenomena, and equipment damage curves. Phase-fault overcurrent relays ‘The pickup valuas of phase overcurrent relays are normally set 30 % above the maximum load current, provided that sufficient short-circuit current is available. This practice is recommended particularly for mechanical relays with reset ratios of 0.8 10 0.85. Numerical relays have high reset ratios near 0.95 and allow, therefore, about a10 % lower setting. Feeders with high ‘wansformer and/or motor load require special consideration. Transtoumer feeders The energizing of transformers causes inrush currents that may last for seconds, depending on their size (fi. 6.2-76). Selection Of the pickup current and assigned time delay have to be coordinated so that the inrush current decreases below the relay overcurrent reset value before the set operating time has elapsed. The inrush current typically contains only about a 50% fundamental frequency component. Numerical relays that filter ‘out harmonics and the DC component of the inrush current can therefore be set to be more sensitive, The inrush current peek values of fig. 8.2-76 will be reduced to more than one half in this case. Some digital relay types have an insush detection function that may block the trip of the overcurrent protection resulting from intush curcents. Earth-foult protection relays Earth-current relays enable a much more sensitive setting, ‘because load currents do not have to be considered (except 4-wire clcuits with 1-phase load). n solily anc low-resistance earthed systems, a setting of 10 to 20 % rated load current cen, generally be applied. High-resistance earthing requires a much ‘more sensitive setting, on the order of some amperes primary. ‘The earth-fault current of motors and generators, for example, should be limited to values below’ 10 A in order to avoid iron ‘burning. n this case, residual-curtent relays in the start point Connection of CTs cannot be used; in particular, with rated CT primary currents higher than 200 A.

A special core-balance CT is therefore used as the ‘earth-current sensor, The core-balance CT 7X96 is designed for 2 ratio of 60/1 A, The detection of 6 A primary would then require a relay pickup setting of 0.1 A secondary. An even more sensitive setting is applied in isolated or Petersen coil earthed retworks where very low earth currents occur with 1-phase-to: ‘earth faults, Settings of 20 mA and lower may then be required depending on the minimum earth-foult current. Sensitive directional earth-fault relays (integrated into the relays 75162, (63, 64, 75180, 75K80, 7546) allow settings as low as 5 mA. ‘Siemens Energy Sector» Power Encineering Guide -6.1th Edition Protection and Substation Automation 6.2 Protection Systems Motor feeders ‘The energization of motors causes a staring current of initially 5 to 6 times the rated current (locked rotor current), ‘Atypical time-curtent curve for an induction motor is shown in fig. 62-77. In the frst 100 ms, a fast-decaying asymmetrical inrush current also appears. With conventional relays, itwes common practice to set the instantaneous overcurtent stage of the short-circuit protection 20 to 30 % above the locked rotor current with 2 Short-time dalay of 50 to 100 ms to overtide the asymmetrical, incush period. Numerical relays are able to filter out the asymmetrical current ‘component very rapidly so that the setting of an additional time delay isno longer applicable ‘The overloae protection characteristic should follow the thermal ‘motor characteristic as closely as possible. The adaptation ‘made by sotting the pickup value and the tharmal time constant, using the data supplied by the motor manufacturer. Further. ‘more, the locked-rotor protection timer has to be set according to the characteristic motor value Time grading of overcurrent elays (51) ‘The selectivity of overcurrent protection is based on time ‘grading of the relay operating characteristics. The relay closer to the infeed (upstream relay) is ime-delayed against the relay further away from the infeed (downstream relay). The calcula tion of necessary grading times is shown in fig, 6.2-77 by an ‘example for definte-time overcurrent relays, ‘The overshoot times take into account the fact that the measur ing relay continues to operate due to its inertia, even if when the fault current is intecrupted. This may be high for mechanical relays (about 0.1 s) and negligible for numerical relays (20 ms) Inverse-time relays (51) Far the time grading of inverse-time relays, in principle the same rules apply as for the definite-time relays. The time grading is, first calculated for the maximum fault level and then checked for ower current levels (ig. 6.2-78).. I the same characteristic Is used for all relays, or if when the upstream relay has e steeper characteristic (e.¢., very much over ‘normal inverse), then selectivity is automaticaly fulfiled at lower currents, Differential relay (87) Transformer differential relays are normally set to pickup values ‘between 20 and 30 % of the rated current. The higher value has to be chosen when the transformer is fitted with a tap changer.

The relay The relay can be either: 4) dedicated design high-impedance relay, 0.9. designed as a sensitive current relay 7VH60 or 7SG12 With series resistor. Hf the series resistor is integrated into the relay, the setting values may ‘be directly applied in volts, as with the relay 7VHEO (6 to 60V or 24 10 24V); or ») digital overcurrent protection relay with sensitive current Input, like 75461 type. To the input of the relay a series stabil2- ing resistor wil be then connected in order to obtain enough stabilization for the high-impedance scheme. Typically avaristor willbe also connected to protect the relay and wiring against overvoltages. Sensitivity ofthe scheme For the relay o operate in the event ofan internal fault, the primary current must reach a minimum value to supply the elay pickup current ([,q), the varistor leakage current (ge) and the ‘magnetizing currents ofall parallel-connected Cs atthe set pickup voltage. A low relay voltage setting and CTs with low ‘magnetizing current therefore increase the protection sensitivity Stability during external faults This check is made by assuming an external fault with maximum through-feult current and full seturation of the CT in the faulty feeder, The soturated CT is then substituted withits secondary winding resistance Ry, and the appeating relay voltage VR corresponds to the voltage drop ofthe in-feeding currents (through-fault current) across Band Rjgq.
