The temperature rise of GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) busbar system is a vital factor that affects its performance. In this paper, a two-dimensional model is presented by commercial code CFX11 for the evaluation of natural convection in the busbar system. In the model, SF6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride) is used to insulate the high voltage device and improves the heat transfer rate. The power losses of a busbar calculated by the magnetic field analysis are used as the input data to predict the temperature rise by the nature convection analysis. The heat-transfer coefficients on the boundaries are analytically calculated by applying the Nusselt number considering material property and model geometry for the natural convection. The temperatures of the tank and conductors from CFX simulation and the experiment were compared. The results show a good agreement. In the future, we will calculate the 3-D model and try to reduce the temperature by adjusting some dimensional parameters.

Busbar has been used as electric conductor within extra high voltage (EHV) gas insulated switchgear (GIS), which makes EHV GIS higher security, smaller size and lower cost. However, the main fault of GIS is overheating of busbar connection parts, circuit breaker and isolating switch contact parts, which has been already restricting development of GIS to a large extent. In this study, a coupled magneto-flow-thermal analysis is used to investigate the thermal properties of GIS busbar in steady-state. A three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model (FEM) is built to calculate multiphysics fields including electromagnetic field, flow field and thermal field in steady-state. The influences of current on the magnetic flux density, flow velocity and heat distribution has been investigated. Temperature differences of inner wall and outer wall are investigated for busbar tank and conducting rod. Considering the end effect in the busbar, temperature rise difference is compared between end sections and the middle section. In order to obtain better heat dissipation effect, diameters of conductor and tank are optimized based on temperature rise simulation results. Temperature rise tests have been done to validate the 3-D simulation model, which is observed a good correlation with the simulation results. This study provides technical support for optimized structure of the EHV GIS busbar.

This paper presents a new magneto-thermal finite element analysis for predicting the temperature rise of the EHV GIS busbar. Joule's heat due to current flowing in the main conductor and the heat due to the induced eddy current in the tank are calculated by the magnetic field analysis. And these heats are used as the input data to predict the temperature rise for the thermal analysis. However, it is not easy to apply the heat-transfer coefficients on the boundaries for the thermal analysis. In this paper, the heat-transfer coefficients on the boundaries are analytically calculated by applying the Nusselt number considering material constant and model geometry for the natural convection. The temperature distribution in the busbar by coupled magneto-thermal finite element analysis shows good agreement with the experimental data.

In order to design the current carrying conductor for GIS, it is important to predict temperature-rise when rated current flows in the bus bar. However, it is not easy to apply the correct heat transfer coefficient on the boundary between different material for the thermal analysis. In this paper, the heat transfer coefficient which depends on parameters such like material constant, model geometry as well as ambient temperature, was calculated by analytic method. The calculated coefficient is used for the temperature rise prediction by F.E.M. The results show good agreement with experimental data.

The principle of the ultra-high frequency (UHF) method to detect partial discharge(PD) in GIS is to measure the UHF electromagnetic waves excited by PD pulses. Such electromagnetic waves propagate along the GIS busbar in the TEM-mode, TE-mode, TM-mode. And the coaxial busbar of the GIS acts as a waveguide in which the UHF electromagnetic waves travel. This paper was studied the analysis on damping characteristic of electromagnetic waves excited by PD in GIS and presented the method to yield the cutoff frequency for determine the minimum band of sensor that detect the PD pulse.

최근 전력계통에 연결된 비선형 장치가 부하의 큰 부분을 차지하고 있다. 비선형 장치는 계통전류에 고조파를 발생시키고 기본파 전류에 의한 도체 손실에 고조파 전류손이 더해져서 도체의 온도를 상승시킨다. 도체의 온도 상승에 관한 연구는 주로 정현파 60Hz 전류에 기초해서 통전 용량을 계산하고 그에 따른 손실을 계산하였다. 본 논문에서는 GIS 모선에 고조파 전류가 포함되는 경우 고조파의 영향에 따른 통전 용량을 계산한다. 즉, GIS 모선에 주파수의 영향에 따른 손실비를 구하고, 유한 요소 해석을 통해 계산된 GIS 모선의 고조파에 따른 손실값을 정현파 60Hz 전류일 때에 계산된 손실값과 비교한다. 이 결과는 GIS 모선의 정확한 통전용량을 예측하는데 사용될 것이다.

The UHF electromagnetic waves excited by PD pulses propagate along the GIS busbar not only TEM mode, but also TE and TM mode. Generally the waves detected by the UHF sensors are those of high order modes and such waves can only propagate higher than cut-off frequency. In this paper, the cut-off frequency of 362[kV] GIS for each modes is computed and the electromagnetic field of each propagation modes is simulated by FEM(Finite Element Method) program. Frequency band of each TEmn/TMmn modes was determinated by simulation results and was discussed optimal position of UHF sensor from this results.

The recent power system is required to a large size of facilities and high power technology according to increasing power demand. However, it could lead to spoiling the beauty of city and environment problem. The miniaturized facilities with large capacity such as GIS have been required in recent power system. The GIS(Gas Insulated Substation) using the SF6 insulation gas enables to miniaturize facilities with large capacity with high insulation performance. However, the substation installed GIS has required to new design model which is different from the conventional substation. The TRV(Transient Recovery Voltage) analysis on simple circuit may applied by differential equation. However, in case of relatively complicated system, EMTP(Electro Magnetic Transients Program) mainly has been used to design and simulate for transient analysis. This paper mainly design the 22.9 kV GIS system and analyze the transient recovery voltage of main circuit breaker using EMTP/RV. It also enables to easily design the other substation installed GIS with same maker and voltage level because the proposed GIS model consists of separated modules such as busbar, circuit breaker, bushing, CT, PT etc. Eventually, it contributes to comfortably compare the interrupting performance of circuit breaker and system TRV corresponding to the substation system configuration.
