    Abstract Temporary overvoltages (TOV) are of importance

    when determining stresses on equipment related to power-frequency withstand voltage, in particular for the energycapability of surge arrester (SA). The maximum continuous

    operating voltage rating (MCOV) of the selected arrester should

    be high enough so that neither the magnitude, nor the duration ofthe TOV exceeds the capability of the arrester. To ensure this,

    the maximum TOV at/nearby arrestor location has to be

    determined along with the maximum time that the system is

    operated in the abnormal voltage state for breaker opening,

    feeder energisation and single line to ground fault conditions. Inthis paper an attempt has been done to verify the withstand

    capability of surge arresters in gas insulated substation (GIS)

    during feeder energisation and single line to ground (SLG) fault

    conditions. It also provides the necessary separation distance

    between the arresters and protective equipment.

    I. INTRODUCTION

    Overvoltages can be caused by a number of system events,such as switching surges, line-to-ground faults, load rejectionand Ferro-resonance. Overvoltages in power system can betraditionally classified into 1) transient overvoltages 2)

    temporary overvoltages. Transient overvoltage is defined asshort duration highly damped, oscillatory or non oscillatoryovervoltage, having duration of a few milli seconds or less. Itcan be classified into lightning, very fast front and switching.Temporary overvoltage is an oscillatory overvoltage i.e. at agiven location of relatively long duration (seconds, evenminutes) and is undamped and weakly damped. Main reasonsfor temporary overvoltage are switching or fault clearingoperations [1]. This voltage can be calculated using thecomputer program capable of modeling the distribution system.

    Overvoltages may also originate during switching on andoff of capacitor banks into the network. These transientsgenerated due to overvoltages on either the HV or LV side ofthe transformer can combine with cable capacitance whichproduces standing waves with frequencies ranging fromfundamental to 10 kHz and amplitudes upto several times theoriginal ones, leading to electric stress and failure ofcomponents. Hence, in order to analyze these transients and toaccount the wide range of overvoltages originating from thesetransients, precise modeling of components is required. Toensure that the arrester TOV capability is not exceeded, the

    maximum TOV at/nearby arrestor location has to bedetermined along with the maximum time that the system isoperated in the abnormal voltage state for breaker opening,feeder energisation and single line to ground fault conditions.

    Many papers available in literature have explained aboutthe equipment modeling and transient analysis. Bollen et. al.[2] provided the information regarding power systemtransients. Information regarding lightning transients in powersystem and the validation of surge arrester rating to mitigate

    them using coefficient of grounding (COG) was explained byWalsh et. al. [3]. whereas the information regarding highfrequency modeling of various components such astransmission lines and cables, transformers, source equivalents,loads and circuit breaker (CB) in case of transients eventsalong with necessary examples was provided by Durbak et. al.[4]. How cables with different lengths upon energizationindependently influence transients generated at point ofcommon coupling was analyzed by Moore et. al. [5].Information and necessity of high frequency modeling ofcomponents in case of transients was provided by [6-8].

    In most cases, a single set of well qualified arrestersinstalled as close as possible to the GIS entrance (i.e. within afew meters) and with short connection leads, will protect a

    comparatively long GIS bus. It is, therefore, not usually aquestion of choice between a metal-enclosed surge arresterwithin the GIS or a conventional porcelain type arrester at theGIS entrance but whether a GIS arrester is needed in addition.Provision of a single GIS arrester set only will provide goodprotection at its location, but any open disconnecting switchand breaker between the arrester and the GIS entrance could beleft unprotected.

    II. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND EQUIPMENT MODELING

    A. System DescriptionThe substation is a 220/33kV GIS connected through cables

    at both the voltage levels so, there is no provision for lightingovervoltages in the system. The incoming of 220kV side of

    substation is connected through 220kV cables of 30km length(4 incoming lines). These cables are connected to 220kV GISand again the power is transformed from 220kV to 33kVvoltage rating through a power transformer of 220/33/11kV,100MVA rating. The 33kV side of transformer is connected to33kV GIS and there after connected to 33kV distributioncables of 5km length (9 incoming lines).

    B. SourceThe source is modeled using a 3-phase and 1-phase short

    circuit MVA ratings. Based on these MVA ratings andrespective X/R ratios the positive and zero-sequenceimpedances are calculated. Based on the above inputs positivesequence impedance Z1=0.316+j3.16 and zero sequenceimpedance Z0=0.6815+j6.815 are calculated for 220kVsource.

    C. CablesThe range of frequencies of primary interest in a switching

    transients study varies from the fundamental power frequencyup to about 10 kHz. For transient overvoltage study it isrequired that the cable systems should be modeled accuratelybecause a simple -section does not simulate reflections incables, and it is thus usually used only for steady state studies.The surge, propagating in cable systems and impedances of thecable systems are highly frequency dependent. Therefore, forhigh frequency transient studies, frequency dependent model isused.

    Fig. 2. Representation of single core cable

    Cables behave differently for different frequencies. Forexample, the resistance of the cable increases at higherfrequencies due to the skin effect and provide some dampingeffect to system response compared to normal power systemfrequencies. As switching frequencies involve wide range offrequencies it necessary to model frequency dependent modelof cables which includes travelling wave phenomena thereby

    accurate response of system may be obtained [9]. There aretwo types of cables in system, single core XLPE cable of1000mm

    2arranged in trefoil configuration are used for 220kV

    (30km length) and three core XLPE cable of 400mm2shown in

    Fig. 3 are used for 33kV (5km length). Single core cables haveconductor, insulation, shield, jacket and semi conductor (SC)shields as shown in Fig. 2. Frequency dependent phase modelis used for modeling both single and three core cables in

    PSCAD. This Model uses curve fitting to duplicate thefrequency response of a line or cable. It is the most advancedtime domain model available as it represents the full frequencydependence of all line parameters [10](including the effect of afrequency dependent transformation matrix).

    core should usually be included, although, the frequencycharacteristic of the core is often ignored. The transformer isrepresented by its short circuit impedance, magnetizinginductance and losses [11].

    E. Surge arresterZnO surge arrester is composed of non-linear resistors

    where overvoltage impulses can be diverted into current surgeswhile the energy of the wave is discharged. In this way, surgearresters limit the amplitude of the TOVs.

    Surge arresters are preferably located close to theequipment to protect, in our case, at the terminal of the powertransformer and at feeder ends. The location of surge arrestersis shown in TABLE II. The protection level of the ZnO arresteris set with sufficient margin to the TOVs depending on thesystem grounding and operating conditions [12].

    Metal-oxide surge arresters are capable of operating forlimited periods of time at power-frequency voltages above theirMCOV rating. The amount of overvoltage that a metal-oxidearrester can successfully withstand depends on the length oftime that the overvoltage exists [13]. Manufacturers candescribe the arrester overvoltage capability in the form of acurve that shows temporary power-frequency overvoltage

    versus allowable time shown in Fig. 4. Surge arrester is usuallyrepresented by non linear V-I characteristics as shown inTABLE I. for TOV study.

    G. SwitchgearSwitchgear includes circuit breakers and vacuum switches,

    which make or break circuits. In switching surge studies, theswitch is often modeled as an ideal conductor (zero impedance)when closed, and an open circuit (impedance) when open.

    III. SIMULATION DETAILS &CASE STUDIES

    For the GIS substation, the following 8 cases have beensimulated. The simulated single line diagram modeled in

    PSCAD is shown in Fig. 1. It assumed that the voltagemeasurement is available at the surge arrester locations, namelyE1A, E1B, E1C, E1D, E2A, E2B, E2C, E2D, E3A, E3B, E3C,E4A, E4B, E4C, E4D, E4E, E4F, E4G, E4H and E4I. Also, atthese locations, surge arrestor currents and energy levels areavailable. The locations are shown in Fig. 1.

    1) Case: 1BRK1A is closed with remaining breakers in open

    condition. The case is run to check the overvoltage seen by theSA (216kV) located at the incoming of 220kv line of substationwhen energisation of a single 220kV cable. The case is run for500ms with energisation of BRK1A at 400ms and 405ms.

    2) Case: 2BRK1A is closed with breakers BRK1B to BRK1D already

    in ON condition. The case is run for 500ms with energisationof BRK1A at 400ms and 405ms.

    3) Case: 3BRK3A is closed with breakers (BRK1A to BRK1D) and

    (BRK2A to BRK2D) already in ON condition. The case is runfor 500ms with energisation of BRK3A at 400ms and 405ms.

    4) Case: 4BRK3A is closed with breakers BRK3B to BRK3D already

    in ON condition. The case is run for 500ms with energisationof BRK3A at 400ms and 405ms.

    5) Case: 5BRK5A is closed with breakers BRK5B to BRK5I in OFF

    condition. The case is run for 500ms with energisation ofBRK5A at 400ms and 405ms.

    6) Case: 6BRK5A is closed with breakers BRK5B to BRK5I alreadyin ON condition. The case is run for 500ms with energisationof BRK5A at 400ms and 405ms.

    7) Case: 7SLG fault is created at the end of 33kV cable. Fault is

    created at 405ms which exists for 140ms and BRK5A clear thisfault at 545ms. The fault exists till 200ms.

    8) Case: 8SLG fault is created at 220kv side of power transformer no

    3. Fault is created at 405ms which exists for 140ms andBRK3C clear this fault at 545ms. The fault exists till 200ms.

    The simulation is carried out for 500ms to let the transients

    settle down to steady state condition. After 400ms breakeroperations are initiated at voltage zero (Vz= 400ms)

    and voltage

    peak (Vp= 405ms). The time step has to be coherent with thehighest frequency phenomenon appearing in the system duringthe transient under consideration. A value of one-tenth of theperiod corresponding to the highest frequency is advised. Thetime step has to be lower than the travel time of any of thepropagation elements of the network [14]. A value of half ofthis travel time is advised.

    Fig. 6 & Fig. 7 show the voltage waveform at E1A for case:1, when BRK1A is closed at Vz and Vp respectively. In thesecases we have observed a voltage peak of -271.5kV and292.88kV. Fig. 8 to Fig. 11shows the voltage waveforms forthe case: 2. we have observed a voltage peak of 292.2kV at

    E1A, which is 16% higher than the MCOV rating of SA. Thevoltage rise is less than the MCOV rating at other locations. Incase of SLG faults at 33kV and 220kV (Fig. 14 to Fig. 16) theovervoltage occur during breaker opening but persist for shortduration and they are below surge arresters TOV capabilitycurve (Fig. 4).

    The value of COG is within the IEEE standard limits(IEEE Standard C62.92.1-2000) which are less than0.80

    For the Case 7, voltages of the other 2 phases areclamped to certain value. This situation occurredbecause of the unloaded cable is de-energized. In suchcases, grounding of the two ends of the cable ismandatory while re-energizing.

    The minimum distance between 220kV side oftransformer and 216kV surge arrester is found to be10.2m. The protective margin of transformer and surgearrester is found to be 20.3% and 42% respectively. Asthe distance between transformer and surge arrester is6m, the surge arrester can be placed anywhere in the 6mdistance. The safety margins are applicable only for theconnecting leads of surge arrester not exceeding 7m.

    The minimum distance between 33kV side oftransformer and 30kV surge arrester is found to be5.6m. The protective margin of transformer and surgearrester is found to be 20.7% and 30% respectively. Asthe distance between transformer and surge arrester is20m, connected through cable, the surge arrester has to

    be placed near the transformer terminals. The safetymargins are applicable only for the connecting leads ofsurge arrester not exceeding 2m.

    The arrester spark over voltage indicates a definite andadequate margin of protection as compared to choppedwave (CWW) value of transformer. There is almostabsolute assurance that the front of wave (FOW)withstand value provide adequate margin of protectionwith the above mention lead lengths and separationdistances.

    V. 216KVSURGE ARRESTER SEPARATION DISTANCE FROM220/33KVTRANSFORMER

    The most effective location for any surge arrester is at the

    terminals of the equipment to be protected. Locating a surgearrester remote from the equipment to be protected reduces theprotective margin. Depending on a number of factors, thetransient voltage at the equipment can easily be more thantwice the surge arrester protective level. An analysis has to bemade to determine how far a surge arrester can be located awayfrom the transformer and still provide adequate protection.

    Our objective is to find the distance D between surgearrester and transformer

    Input parameters:

    System voltage: 220kVMaximum system voltage: 245kV (rms)Lightning impulse level (BIL): 1050kVpSurge propagation time (): 300m/usSurge impedance of transmission line: 450

    Surge arrester rated voltage: 216kVMaximum continuous operating voltage (MCOV): 178kVMax. Residual Voltage at steep front Impulse (1/20us) at10kA peak (Va): 660kVpChopped wave withstand of transformer (CWW):1.1*BIL=1.1*1050=1155kVRate of rise of surge current (di/dt): 2S/Z

    Conductor length between junction J and surge arresterterminals (d): 4mConductor length between surge arrester ground (d): 3mRate of rise of incoming surge at junction J (S): 11kV perkV MCOV (max of 2000kV/us)

    Calculation:Rate of rise of incoming surge at junction J (S):11kV*178kV=1958kV/usRate of rise of surge current (di/dt): 2S/Z= (2*1958)/450=8.7kA/us

    Inductance of surge arrester leads (uH): 1.3uH/mTotal length d= d+d=4+3= 7mTotal lead inductance: 1.3*7= 9.1uHVoltage across surge arrester from junction J to ground(Vsa): Va+ L*di/dt= 660+ (9.1*8.7) =739.17kV

    (This does not necessarily appear simultaneously at thepeak value of arrester residual voltage. However this value ofL*di/dt (79.2kV) demonstrates the order of magnitude of

    possible inductive voltage drop which can superimpose thearrester residual voltage.

    Maximum stress allowable at the transformer (Vt)

    Vt= CWW/1.15 (if time to crest value is less than 2us)Vt= BIL/1.15 (if time to crest value is greater than 2us)Time to crest value: Va/S= 660/1958 = 0.3us (less than 2us.So, use Vt= CWW/1.15)Vt= 1155/1.15= 1004.3kV

    (Solving this equation for distance D gives)

    D=10.2m

    Next step is to calculate the protective margin oftransformer and surge arrester

    Protective margin of surge arrester= ((BIL-Vsa)/ Vsa)*100 =

    42%

    Protective margin of transformer= ((BIL-Vt)/ Vt)*100

    For this we have to calculate the actual voltage available at

    transformer terminals

    is reflection coefficient at transformer terminals(assumed as 1) factor of 2 arises from the return length fromarrester to transformer

    This gives the protective margin of transformer as 20.3%

    Similar methodology is adopted for 33kV side of surgearrester.

    VI. CONCLUSION

    In this paper temporary overvoltages arising due toswitching and fault conditions are studied. Distributedcapacitance of cables plays a major role in overvoltages and isobserved while energizing the unloaded cables. The betterunderstanding of magnitude of overvoltages can be observedby analyzing the system without surge arresters. Care has to betaken while placing the arrester near transformer terminals andlength of connecting leads of surge arrester has to be taken intoconsideration.
