Abstract

Considerations on disturbances related to Shunt Capacitor Bank (SCB) switching are summarized and a unique damping circuit able to cope with all of them is proposed. This damping circuit consists of a reactor in parallel with a resistor which is in series with a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV), the latter being used to switch on the resistor only during transients. The design parameter of this damping circuit are described and the main tests performed are presented.

Overvoltage protection of shunt-capacitor banks using MOV arresters

Journal Article McGranaghan, M; Gresham, D; Law, S; ... - IEEE Trans. Power Appar. Syst.; (United States)

This paper evaluates using metal-oxide-varistor (MOV) surge arresters to protect shunt-capacitor banks from overvoltages. Protection requirements and surge arrester duties are analyzed for both lightning transients and switching-surge overvoltages, using both digital and transient network analyzer (TNA) simulations. Simple analytical expressions are developed for evaluating arrester duty as a function of capacitor bank size. Guidelines and limitations for applying arresters at grounded- a

Evaluating capacitor-switching devices for preventing nuisance tripping of adjustable-speed drives due to voltage magnification

Journal Article Bellei, T; O`Leary, R; Camm, E - IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery

Nuisance overvoltage tripping of pulse-width modulated adjustable-speed drives, due to switching of shunt capacitor banks at a utility`s substation and the subsequent voltage magnification which can occur at an industrial customer`s utilization-voltage bus, is discussed. Adjustable-speed drive design considerations affecting transient overvoltage ride-through capability are identified and discussed. A comparative evaluation of three switching devices equipped with transient overvoltage control, namely, circuit breakers with pre-insertion resistors, circuit switchers with highly damped pre-insertion inductors, and controlled closing devices, is presented.

Superposition technique for MOV-protected series capacitors in short-circuit calculations

Journal Article Mahseredjian, J; Lagace, P; Lefebvre, S; ... - IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery

A new method for modeling series capacitors protected by metal oxide varistors is developed using superposition on sequence networks. This technique is incorporated in a short-circuit program within an iterative process which allows the consideration of the nonlinear characteristic of metal oxide varistor (MOV)protected series capacitors. The iterative process is rendered dynamic by evaluating the voltage and current of the series capacitors and by adjusting the state of the varistors at each iteration without reformulating the network nodal admittance matrix. The 60 Hz impedance characteristic of the nonlinear MOV protected series capacitors is simulated by fictive shunt current sources acrossmore »« less

Design and installation of 500-kV back-to-back shunt capacitor banks

Journal Article Furumasu, B; Hasibar, R - IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (United States)

This paper describes Bonneville Power Administration's first 500-kV back-to-back shunt capacitor installation. The primary purpose of the capacitor banks is to support AC system voltage for transient stability following an outage of the HVDC Intertie line between Oregon and Southern California. Design studies and equipment requirements are detailed herein in addition to Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) studies and subsequent field test results. Current-limiting reactors are used to limit inrush and outrush currents during capacitor switching. It is believed that this is the first 500-kV back-to-back capacitor installation in the United States.

Effectiveness of pre-insertion inductors for mitigating remote over voltages due to shunt capacitor energization

Journal Article Bhargava, B; Khan, A; Imece, A; ... - IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (United States)

Energization of shunt capacitor banks on power systems can potentially create significant over voltages both at the location of the switched bank and at other locations in the system. Pre-insertion resistors have been used for years by the electric utility industry as one method of controlling these capacitor bank energization over voltages. Recently, pre-insertion inductors have been introduced as a cost-effective alternative to pre-insertion resistors. The results of a system study investigating remote overvoltage mitigation methods for shunt capacitor switching have shown that pre-insertion inductors are not always as effective as pre-insertion resistors. A parametric study has been performed tomore »« less
