상용 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) 프로그램인 PHOENICS를 이용하여 245kV $SF_6$ 가스 차단기의 진상소전류 차단성능을 평가하였다. 소전류 차단시에는 아크가 발생 즉시 소호되므로 $SF_6$ 가스를 전리가 일어나지 않은 냉가스로 취급할 수 있다. 그러므로 PHOENICS를 이용하여 극간의 $SF_6$ 가스밀도 및 전계의 변화를 계산하였으며 이것으로부터 극간 $SF_6$ 가스의 절연내력(Dielectric Strength)을 계산하였다. 계산된 $SF_6$ 가스의 절연내력과 아크 소호 후 극간에 인가되는 회복전압(Recovery Voltage)을 비교하여 차단기의 진상소전류 차단성능을 평가하였다. 245kV 차단기에는 전계를 완화하기 위한 목적으로 차단부에 쉴드가 설치되어 있으며 이 쉴드에 의한 소전류차단성능의 변화를 해석하였다.

기존의 단방향 차단기 소전류 차단성능 해석에서는 해석의 편의를 위해 실제 차단기의 고정부(고정아크접점과 피스톤)를 움직이게 하고 가동부(퍼퍼 실린더 노즐 등)를 고정시켜 놓고 해석을 하였다. 기존 차단기에서는 이런 식으로 해석을 하여도 아무런 문제가 발생하지 않았으나 이번 당사 모델인 550kV 50kA 1점절 차단기는 차단성능 향상을 위해 양방향으로 구동이 이루어지고 있어서 기존 방식으로 해석을 하는 것이 거의 불가능하다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 상용프로그램인 PHOENICS를 이용하여 실제 차단기와 마찬가지로 가동부가 움직이도록 모의하는 방법을 개발하여 550kV 1점절 차단기의 소전류 차단성능을 평가하였으며, 앞으로 개발될 모든 복잡한 형태의 차단기도 쉽게 해석할 수 있는 계기를 마련하였다.

본 연구에서는 가스 차단기의 소전류 차단성능을 개선하기 위한 최적화 과정에 대해서 나타낸다. 목적함수는 절연내력과 극간 인가전압의 차이의 최소값으로 선정하였으며, 목적함수가 최대가 되도록 최적화를 수행한다. 설계 변수로는 개극 전의 전극 이동길이, 노즐목 길이 및 노즐목 발산각과 노즐 하류장 형상을 채택하였다. 최적화 알고리즘으로는 (1+1) 진화알고리즘을, 유동해석을 위해서는 FVFLIC법을 사용하였다. 최적화 결과로 얻어진 모델은 초기 모델에 비해 소전류 차단성능이 상당히 개선되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The flow analysis is needed to verify the physical phenomena through interruption processes for improving the capacity and the reliability of gas circuit breakers. Moreover the small current interruption performance of GCBs could be predicted by coupling the flow characteristics with the electric field one. In this paper, the unsteady flow characteristics and the traveling trajectory are depicted with a commercial CFD code, PHOENICS, programmed for moving motion of objects. In order to validate computational results, the measured pressure data in cylinder and in front of arcing contact are compared with the test results of small current interruption.

This paper presents the results of a small capacitive current interruption test for the three types of interrupter which are called 'serial type', 'parallel/separated type' and 'puffer type' according to the arrangement of the thermal expansion chamber and the puffer cylinder. After the preconditioning test the small current interruption capability of the 'puffer type' decreased, on the contrary, that of the hybrid interrupters increased. A number of reignition have been occurred in the 'serial type' hybrid interrupter and the change of small current interruption capability after preconditioning test is mainly influenced by the structure of interrupter. Finally it has been proved that the 'parallel/separated type' hybrid interrupter has the best interruption performance through the verification tests.

This paper presents the prediction method of small current interruption Performance for EHV gas circuit breakers. The FVFLIC method is used for the gas flow analysis and the FEM for the electric field analysis. Then, the dielectric withstanding voltage is evaluated by the empirical formulation or Streamer theory. By comparing the calculated dielectric strength with the test result. it is found that both methods show good prediction capability for the small current interruption performance. Especially, when both methods predict the same interrupting performance, the prediction is in accordance with the experimental result.

The insulation strength between contacts after current interruption to the transient recovery voltage i.e., the dielectric recovery strength should be estimated for the evaluation of the small capacitive current interruption capability. Many authors have used theoretical and semi-experimental approaches to evaluate the transient breakdown voltage after the current interruption. Moreover, an empirical equation, which is obtained from a series of tests, has been used to estimated the dielectric recovery strength. Un this paper, the theoretical method which is generated from the streamer theory has been applied to real circuit breakers in order to evaluated the interruption capability. The results of analysis have been compared with the test results and the reliability has been investigated.

To analyze the small current interruption performance for the gas circuit breakers, the gas density and electric field intensity should be calculated. In this paper, the FVFLIC method is used for the gas flow analysis and the FEM for the electric field analysis. Then, the dielectric withstanding voltage is evaluated by the empirical formulation or Streamer theory. By comparing the calculated dielectric strength with the test result, it is found that both methods show good prediction capability for the small current interruption performance.

This paper presents a method of cold gas flow-field analysis within puffer type GCB(Gas Circuit Breaker). Using this method, the entire interruption process including opening operation of GCB can be simulated successfully. In particular, the distortion problem of the grid due to the movement of moving parts can be dealt with by the fixed grid technique. The gas parameters such as temperature, pressure, density, velocity through the entire interruption process can be calculated and visualized. It was confirmed that the time variation of pressure which was calculated from the application of the method to a model GCB agreed with the experimental one. Therefore it is possible to evaluate the small current interruption capability analytically and to design the interrupter which has excellent interruption capability using the proposed method. It is expected that the proposed method can reduce the time and cost for development of GCB very much. It also will be possible to develop the hot-gas flow-field analysis program by combining the cold-gas flow field program with the arc model and to evaluate the large current interruption capability.
