Look what happens without EMTP-RV

Description:
This is a nice video about the switching of a shunt reactor (most probably 500 kV) with a Circuit-Switcher.
>A circuit-switcher is a SF6 load-break swith with no fault current breaking cap... see moreability. The load current, in this case around 150 A, is normally interrupted first by the 2 interrupters and then the disconnect will open to isolate the reactor.
What happened in this video:
1 - During the opening, an external flashover occurs on one of the chamber most probably because of the contamination;
2 - The other chamber can not withstand the whole voltage and reignites internally;
3 - The external flashover vanishes because an arc is established inside;
4 - The disconnect opens on the full load current;
5 - The arc burns freely in the air for some 10 seconds until it is self-extinguished or eliminated by a circuit-breaker operation.

Abstract:
This paper presents the implementation of a hysteretic... see more reactor model in a transient analysis package. Themodel is available in a currently developed EMTP (DCGEPRI) version. It is demonstrated how the hysteretic reactor equations can be solved to eliminate topological limitations and allow solving large scale networks efficiently. Numerical robustness aspects and the representation of minor loops are emphasized. The model demonstrates new and not previously available computational capabilities.

PM_subcircuit

Description:
Example of a user defined model. In this case a line-start permanent magnet synchronous machine is connected to a simple power network. This machine, working as a generator, has been modeled by contro... see morel elements. This user defined model is not recomme.

The line-start permanent magnet motor is a high-efficiency synchronous motor with self starting capability when operating from a fixed frequency voltage source. The permanent magnets embedded in its rotor provide the synchronous excitation and the rotor cage provides the induction motor torque for starting. The difference in permeability between the magnet and rotor core also results in significant magnetic saliency and reluctance torque at synchronous speed. At asynchronous speeds, the dc excitation and saliency of the permanent magnets will cause pulsating torque components. When the field strength of the magnet is too strong, a line-start permanent magnet motor may fail to synchronize because of the excessive pulsating torque component from the dc-excitation of the magnet.

The objective of this case is to create a user defined model of a permanent magnet synchronous machine. With this model the user can explore the behaviour of the torque components during a starting run of the generator from standstill. In particular, we will examine the ability of the motor to synchronize with various values of magnet field strength, mechanical loading and rotor inertia.

This case also shows the capabilities of EMTP-RV to create user defined models. This model assembled with control elements is particularly clear. I needed 4 hours to create this model and to validate it with an existing Simulink model ! The user can see the whole model with its equations on one page (see Figure below)

This model is given as an example of user defined model and should not be used for other purposes.
