View DetailsThis contribution highlights some important research and technology trends in high voltage (HV) switchgear development for reaching greener and smarter electricity transmission systems. In AC transmission, the focus is on the replacement of SF 6, which is a strong greenhouse gas, in HV switchgear.
High voltage (HV) switchgear is crucial for the transmission and control of electric power in power grids [1 - 3]. It includes HV AC circuit-breakers (CB) of live tank type (LTB), dead-tank type (DTB) and gas-insulated switchgear (GIS); see Fig. 1. Requirements are defined in international standards, e.g., [4, 5].
With the need to electrify the global energy system, high-voltage HVDC transmission will play an important role for transmission of electric power from remote renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind installations. Today this is done by radial HVDC network structures for both wind power and hydropower.
Recent trends in HV switchgear research and development have been presented. In the field of HV AC switchgear, the successful introduction of alternatives to SF6 as insulation and switching medium is an important milestone. For HV switchgear reliability the most important methods for health assessment, monitoring and prognosis have been presented.
In C4-FN/CO 2 /O 2 mixtures typical remaining products in a switchgear after arcing are C4-FN, CO 2, N 2, O 2, CF 4, and very low amounts of CO, which is efficiently reduced by the addition of O 2. Note that decomposition of C4-FN molecule occurs only in the very small fraction of the gas which is in direct contact with the arc.
At the core of the switchgear assemblies is the disconnector. Together with the earthing switches on either side of the isolating gap, the disconnector ensures the safe insulation and earthing of de-energized circuits.
