Breaker Reignition Transients and Their Effect on High Voltage Bushings

Sponsored by:    Transformers Committee

Chairs:               B. Chiu, IEEE Transformers Committee

                         P. J. Hopkinson, HVOLT Inc.

 

Destructive reignition transients have been observed in medium voltage (5 kV–34.5 kV) circuits where commonly vacuum interrupter switching results in transformer winding flashovers, often deep within the windings. Up to this point, little attention was devoted to high voltage circuits from 230 kV to 500 kV, and SF6 breakers have largely been ignored.  However, over the last several years, a number of high voltage draw lead bushing failures have occurred where similar conditions were at play.  Key parameters have been: light loading, frequent switching, especially late at night.  The breakers have been physically close to the transformers (~50 feet), and flashovers have initiated deep within the bushing between the draw lead and the tube. This panel discussion examines SF6 Breaker switching and presents a circuit model for the bushing to observe switching transients. A number of case studies have been examined to see how well they fit the model. In addition, system parameters associated with failures as well as associated with trouble-free systems are examined.  Possible solutions to the flashovers are discussed.

Volt/Var Control – Present and Future

Sponsored by:    Transmission and Distribution Committee

Chair:                 D. T. Rizy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

 

The session will be exploring the importance of volt/var control for achieving effective T&D system operation and will discuss technologies and methods employed. The session will look at how volt/var control is implemented at present and how it needs to change for the smart grid.  Volt/var control is important for maintaining system reliability and efficiency and voltage stability and the panel will discuss various aspects of these objectives. Our panel will present on how volt/var control is implemented with and without distribution automation control and what is needed in terms of changes and technologies for the smart grid and the future.  Volt/var control will obviously evolve as the growth of new generation and load technologies such as distributed resources, especially renewables and plug-in hybrids and electric transportation continues to grow and increases their penetration in the T&D system.  In addition, the smart grid will bring about additional system flexibility, intelligence and control that volt/var control will need to accommodate.

Measurement Techniques and Experiences of Harmonics, Interharmonics, and Voltage Fluctuations

Sponsored by:    Transmission and Distribution Committee

Chair:                 G. Chang, National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan

 

The power quality (PQ) disturbances have drawn much attention due to the wide-spread nonlinear loads which cause undesired effects to power system components and other PQ-sensitive loads.  Among different types of PQ disturbances, harmonics, interharmonics, and voltage fluctuations have long been recognized as major PQ issues.  The natures of these PQ disturbances cover a wide range of stationary, quasi-stationary, fluctuating, and rapid changing behaviors.  Effective and accurate measurement techniques for these PQ phenomena are crucial for providing solutions and mitigations of such disturbances, as well as the implementation of PQ meters. This panel session offers the audience an excellent opportunity to meet with those experts in the area of PQ measurements and share their knowledge and experiences. The audience will learn the development and state-of-the-art measuring techniques of the addressed PQ disturbances.

NERC’s Integration of Variable Generation Task Force: Status Report

Sponsored by:    Wind Power Coordinating Committee

Chair:                 M. Lauby, NERC

 

To date, the North American experience with variable generation has been limited to integration of a relatively small amount of the total generation within a power system or balancing area (i.e. typically less than 10%). The industry is now starting to experience operational reliability issues, though integration of variable generation typically has not appreciably affected the reliability of the bulk power system to date. Anticipating substantial growth of variable generation, NERC’s Planning and Operating Committees created the Integration of Variable Generation Task Force (IVGTF) who prepared a report, entitled, “Accommodating Large Amounts of Variable Generation.” (http://www.nerc.com/files/IVGTF_Report_041609.pdf).  This panel reviews the results from this report and the status of the ongoing activities supporting its work-plan.

Experience with Incorporating Wind Forecasts into Power System Operations

Sponsored by:    Wind Power Coordinating Committee

                         Power System Operations Committee

Chairs:               R. Piwko, GE Energy

                         B. Grant, Xcel

 

Rapidly increasing penetration of wind power is imposing new challenges on power system operators. Operating practices and software tools to address variability in load have evolved over many decades and are quite mature.  Several types of load forecasts are commonly used for unit commitment, scheduling of reserves, and managing generation dispatch.  Wind generation introduces a new source of variability and uncertainty to power system operations.  Wind forecasts can be used in conjunction with load forecasts to improve the efficiency and reliability of power system operations.

 

A variety of wind forecasting services are available from multiple providers.  Techniques for incorporating wind forecasts into day-to-day operations are continuously evolving, and the industry is at the steep part of the learning curve.

 

Panelists are experienced power system operators from operating areas with significant wind generation. They will address the following items:

   What types of wind forecasting tools are you presently using?

   How are wind forecast results being used for day-ahead and real time operations?  Unit commitment? Scheduling of reserves?  Posturing system for wind ramps?

   What are the biggest challenges in making your process work well?

   What is on your wish list for better forecasting tools, EMS integration techniques, implementation, information, etc.?

Experiences of Using State Estimation to Identify Parameter/Model Errors in Control Centers

Sponsored by:    Transmission and Distribution Committee

                         Power System Operations Committee

Chair:                 S. (NDR) Nuthalapati, ERCOT

 

State Estimator (SE) is an important tool in control centers to monitor the real-time state of a power system. Generally, SE problem is formulated and solved based on the assumption that the network parameters and model are perfectly known.  Any errors in parameters and model would affect the SE results, which further may have impact on other downstream applications, such as Contingency Analysis, Voltage Security Assessment, etc. Therefore it is important to identify such parameter and model errors and correct them.  This panel discusses various experiences of using SE to identify parameter and model errors in control centers.
