Gas-Insulated Substation

AbstractThis analysis focuses on a 500 kV gas-insulated
substation (GIS) installation that has two types of double-break
circuit breakers, one type containing 1400 pF grading capacitors
and the other with 500 pF grading capacitors across each break.
The circuit breakers are connected to approximately 40 m of airinsulated buswork and 100 m of gas-insulated buswork, which
includes existing and new installations of gas-insulated bus.
Voltage transformers (VTs) applied at the gas-insulated bus
could cause ferroresonance conditions without a ferroresonance
damping device (referred to as a damping device herein)
connected to the 115 V secondary of the VT. This analysis
verifies that a damping device adequately mitigates
ferroresonance conditions. Specifically, the concern is for
voltages on the VT primary and secondary, where excessive
voltages could cause damage to equipment insulation and maloperation of relays without the damping device.

I. INTRODUCTION
erroresonance is a well-documented phenomena [1-11]
where a resonance occurs between a saturable inductance
and a capacitance connected in series. In this analysis, the
concern is on voltages that occur because of the energy
coupled, through grading capacitors of circuit breakers, from
live gas-insulated bus to a de-energized section of bus where
VTs are connected.
An industry-standard tool for
electromagnetic transient modeling, the Electromagnetic
Transients Program (EMTP), was used to simulate various
circuit conditions susceptible to ferroresonance. Digital
programs such as EMTP can be used to simulate phenomena
over a wide-range of frequencies, and for this analysis EMTP
was used to simulate ferroresonance conditions in the multicycle to few seconds timeframe.
II. OBJECTIVES
The following are the specific objectives for the
ferroresonance analysis of the 500 kV GIS:
(1) Identify potential ferroresonance circuits associated
with the 500 kV GIS installation for cases with and
without the damping device.
(2) Determine voltages associated with the equipment for
the 500 kV GIS installation with and without a
damping device for potential ferroresonance circuits
(a) Assess if concerns exist for the operation of relays
(b) Assess if concerns exist for the thermal
degradation of equipment
III. EMTP MODEL
Figure 1 shows the one-line diagram of the GIS for the
limiting ferroresonance case. A total of 5 cases were
analyzed, where the amount of floating buswork, i.e.,
buswork capacitance, was varied and different numbers of
circuit breakers containing grading capacitors were in the
circuit. Figure 1 includes the gas-insulated buswork, airinsulated buswork, circuit breakers, grading capacitors, surge

Table 1 lists VT data used for the EMTP model. Table 2 lists
thermal and voltage insulation ratings for the VT and
damping device. Thermal and voltage insulation ratings of
the VT and damping device were properly coordinated with
expected voltages and currents, verified by the analysis
described here. Figure 3 shows a comparison of the
saturation characteristics of the saturable reactor and VT.
Because of the low losses of the VT, ferroresonance
conditions could be sustained for long periods of time and
concerns could exist because of energy coupled into the
circuit through the grading capacitors. The purpose of the
damping device is to saturate before the VT, causing a
damping resistor to be inserted into the circuit, which
mitigates the ferroresonance conditions. Note that for the
cases with the damping device modeled, the damping resistor
was modeled as a lumped resistance of 0.47 .
Table 3 contains an example for the determination of the
C2 capacitance used in Figure 2 corresponding to phase A for
one of the five cases examined. As listed in Table 3, circuit

posts, surge arresters, gas-insulated buswork, and air-
