Assessment of the Lightning Performance of Compact Overhead Distribution Lines

Description:
The assessment of the lightning performance of a compact configuration of MV overhead lines that is expected to be adopted in the near future by an electricity distribution company in a Brazilian regi... see moreon characterized by high keraunic levels is presented. The compact configuration is characterized by the presence of an unenergized wire that has the main function to sustain the spacers of the phase conductors. As the wire could be periodically grounded, the paper analyses its effectiveness in reducing the overvoltages due to indirect lightning. The results are compared with those relevant to a conventional configuration of MV overhead lines now adopted by the same distribution company. The effects of the presence of surge arresters along the line are also analysed.

Cross_Bonded_Cable

Description:
Insulation coordination - 225 kV cross bonded cable - protection of the sheath.
In the configuration a 225 kV cross-bonded cable is connected at both ends to an otherhead line. The sheath is prot... see moreected by star-connected arresters.
The modelling used is adapted for the study of Fast-Front-Overvoltages (see IEC 60071)
A current source, with a CIGRE concave shape (See CIGRE 63 document), representing a lightning stroke has been connected to a tower close to the cable.
The case includes the modelling of the different elements of the configuration (cable, spans, arresters...).

CB_arc_CM

Description:
This is an interesting case of the study of arc-circuit interaction in case of the interruption of a short-line fault.The arc is represented by a composite Cassie-Mayr model and the line is represente... see mored as frequency-dependant.
The case shows the application of black-box arc modeling in the study of kilometric-line fault capability of a 420 kV circuit-breaker. By zooming on the arc current and voltage near current-zero, post-arc current and initial TRV may be visualized in both cases of clearing and thermal failure.

Line_Coupling

Description:
The following example demonstrates the coupling effect between 3 adjacent transmission lines.

The case study consists of the implementation of a third transmission line next to two existing... see more lines. The data of the geometrical configuration are entered in the DATA LINE module and are stored in the "line_couplin_CP.lin". The generated model was obtained using the CP option and are loaded to the CP m-phase module using the data included in the "line_coupling_CP_rv.csv" file. The results are very close to the measurements provided in "H.W. DOMMEL ET AL, CASE STUDIES FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC TRANSIENTS, P.1,1991".
