The document discusses insulation coordination studies for selecting insulation strength consistent with expected overvoltages. It defines insulation coordination and describes understanding insulation stresses and strength. Methods for controlling stresses include surge arresters, pre-insertion resistors, and synchronous closing control. Insulation coordination studies evaluate overvoltages from very fast transients, lightning, switching, and temporary conditions to verify protection of electrical equipment. An example application performs a lightning surge analysis of a 550kV gas-insulated substation to evaluate protective margins of equipment.
Cable Conductor Sizing for Minimum Life Cycle CostLeonardo ENERGY
Energy prices are high and expected to rise. All CO2 emissions are being scrutinized by regulators as well as by public opinion. As a result, energy management has become a key factor in almost every business. To get the most out of each kilowatt-hour, appliances must be carefully evaluated for their energy efficiency.
It is an often overlooked fact that electrical energy gets lost in both end-use and in the supply system (cables, busbars, transformers, etc.). Every cable has resistance, so part of the electrical energy that it carries is dissipated as heat and is lost.
Such energy losses can be reduced by increasing the cross section of the copper conductor in a cable or busbar. Obviously, the conductor size cannot be increased endlessly. The objective should be the economic and/or environmental optimum. What is the optimal cross section necessary to maximize the Return on Investment (ROI) and minimize the Net Present Value (NPV) and/or the Life Cycle Cost (LCC)?
This paper will demonstrate that the maximizing of the ROI results in a cross section that is far larger than which technical standards prescribe. Those standards are based entirely on safety and certain power quality aspects. This means there is room for improvement—a great deal of improvement in fact.

Cable sizing to withstand short-circuit current - ExampleLeonardo ENERGY
A short circuit causes very extreme stresses in a cable which are proportional to the square of the current:
A temperature rise in the conducting components such as conductor, screen, metal sheath, armour. Indirectly the temperature of adjoining insulation and protective covers also increases,
electro-magnetic forces between the current-carrying components.
The temperature rise is important for its effect on ageing, heat pressure characteristics etc. and should be limited to a permissible short-circuit temperature. The thermo-mechanical effects of the current shall also be considered.
For the given short-circuit condition the short-circuit capacity of a cable should be investigated with respect to all these parameters. For multi-core cables in most instances the thermal effect - related to the magnitude of fault current and clearance time - is the critical parameter, since the cable will normally have enough mechanical strength. With single-core cables however the mechanical effect - related to the magnitude of the peak short-circuit current - is of such significance that, next to the thermal, the mechanical strength of both cable and its supports should be investigated.
Also accessories must be rated with respect to thermal and mechanical short-circuit stresses.
The short circuit strength of a cable system is not quantitatively defined with regard to permissible number of repeated short circuits, degree of deformation or destruction or impairment quality. It is expected, however, that a cable installation will remain safe in operation and that any deformation remains within tolerable limits even after several short circuits.
This course provides practical overview of short circuit performance of a cable.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

2. Definition of Insulation Coordination1
• Insulation Coordination (IEEE)
– The selection of insulation strength consistent with expected
overvoltages to obtain an acceptable risk of failure.
– The procedure for insulation coordination consists of (a)
determination of the voltage stresses and (b) selection of the
insulation strength to achieve the desired probability of failure.
– The voltage stresses can be reduced by the application of surge‐
protective devices, switching device insertion resistors and controlled
closing, shield wires, improved grounding, etc.

• Overvoltage
– Abnormal voltage between two points of a system that is greater than
the highest value appearing between the same two points under
normal service conditions.2
• Overvoltages are the primary “metric” for “measuring” and
“quantifying” power system transients and thus insulation
stress.

9. Electrical Insulation
• Insulation can be expressed as a dielectric with a function to
preserve the electrical integrity of the system.
– The insulation can be “internal” (solid, liquid, or gaseous), which is
protected from the effects of atmospheric conditions (e.g.,
transformer windings, cables, gas‐insulated substations, oil circuit
breakers, etc.).
– The insulation can be “external” (in air), which is exposed to
atmospheric conditions (e.g., bushings, bus support insulators,
disconnect switches, line insulators, air itself [tower windows, phase
spacing], etc.).

1. Surge Arresters
– Need to be sized and located properly to “clip” overvoltages.
2. Pre‐Insertion Resistors/Inductors
– Need to be sized according to equipment being switched (only help
during breaker operation) to prevent excessive overvoltages from
being initiated.
3. Synchronous‐Close/Open Control
– Need to use independent pole operated (IPO) breakers and program
controller based on equipment being switched (only help during
breaker operation) to prevent excessive overvoltages from being
initiated.
4. Surge Capacitors
– Need to be sized and located to “slow” the front of incoming surges

Step 1: A severe voltage surge was injected into the substation for various
operating configurations to screen for maximum potential overvoltages.
Step 2: The resulting overvoltages were compared to the Basic Lightning Impulse
Insulation Level (BIL) of the equipment and the protective margin1 for the
equipment was calculated.
Step 3: If overvoltages resulted in less than a 20% protective margin in the initial
screening analysis for cases with the full system in or N‐1 contingencies, a more
detailed analysis was performed to identify the protective margins resulting from a
reasonable upper bounds lightning surge based on the configuration of the
substation and connected transmission lines.
– For the detailed analysis, specific details of the transmission lines such as conductor
characteristics, shielding design, ground resistivity, keraunic level, etc. are considered to
determine a reasonable upper bounds to place on the lightning surge impinging on the
substation.
(1) Protective Margin = [ BIL / Vmaximum_peak – 1] x 100%
Screening AnalysisDetailed Analysis
41. Summary
• Insulation Coordination is the selection of insulation strength.
• Determine maximum insulation stress.
• Determine the minimum insulation strength with margin taking into
account stress reducers (surge arresters, pre‐insertion resistors,
synchronous close control, etc.) that can withstand the maximum
stress.
• Studies help in quantifying the maximum anticipated stress
and determining the rating/location of overvoltage mitigating
devices.
• A key component of insulation coordination is pairing the
correct strength to the correct stress.
• As a rule of thumb, the shorter the time the overvoltage is applied to
the insulation the greater the magnitude of overvoltage the insulation
can withstand before failure.
