Development of Transient Electric Field Radiation Simulation Device during Gas Insulation Switch Operation

In gas insulation switch(GIS)substation,secondary devices such as linemonitoring devices are placed in the switching field,and these electronic devices are vulnerable to transient electromagnetic interference caused by switching operation.In order to facilitate the measurement and research of electromagnetic disturbance data under different working conditions,a simulation test device is developed in this paper,which can be used to simulate electromagnetic disturbance of GIS substation sensor and secondary device port under switch operation.A four-channel parallel gas switch was designed,and the main characteristic parameters of electromagnetic disturbance generated by the simulation device were measured by using high-frequency pulse power supply as the excitation source.The comparison between the measured waveform and the measured disturbance characteristic parameters of GIS substation shows that it is in good agreement with the measured waveform characteristics,conforms to the basic characteristics of damped oscillation wave,and can be used in the secondary equipment port disturbance voltage coupling characteristics,protection measures evaluation and assessment method research.

Finite Element Method for Transient Electric Field by Using Indirect Laplace Transform with High Accuracy

This paper focuses on the finite element method in the complex frequency domain(CFD-FEM)for the transient electric field.First,the initial value and boundary value problem of the transient electric field under the electroquasistatic field in the complex frequency domain is given.In addition,the finite element equation and the constrained electric field equation on the boundary are derived.Secondly,the indirect algorithm of the numerical inverse Laplace transform is introduced.Based on it,the calculation procedures of the CFD-FEM are illustrated in detail.Thirdly,the step response,zero-state response under the positive periodic square waveform(PPSW)voltage,and the zero-input response by the CFD-FEM with direct algorithm and indirect algorithm are compared.Finally,the reason for the numerical oscillations of the zero-state response under the PPSW voltage is analyzed,and the method to reduce oscillations is proposed.The results show that the numerical accuracy of the indirect algorithm of the CFD-FEM is more than an order of magnitude higher than that of the direct algorithm when calculating the step response of the transient electric field.The proposed method can significantly reduce the numerical oscillations of the zero-state response under the PPSW voltage.The proposed method is helpful for the calculation of the transient electric field,especially in the case of frequency-dependent parameters.

Time-domain Finite Element Method for Transient Electric Field and Transient Charge Density on Dielectric Interface

This paper is devoted to solving the transient electric field and transient charge density on the dielectric interface under the electroquasistatic(EQS)field conditions with high accuracy.The proposed method is suitable for both 2-D and 3-D applications.Firstly,the governing equations represented by scalar electric potential are discretized by the nodal finite element method(FEM)in space and the finite difference method in time.Secondly,the transient constrained electric field equation on the boundary(TCEFEB)is derived to calculate the normal component of the transient electric field intensities on the Dirichlet boundary and dielectric interface as well as the transient charge density on the dielectric interface.Finally,a 2-D numerical example is employed to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.Furthermore,the comparisons of the numerical accuracy of the proposed method in this paper with the existing FEMs for electric field intensity and charge density on the dielectric interface are conducted.The results show that the numerical accuracy of the proposed method for calculating the normal component of transient electric field intensities on the Dirichlet boundary and dielectric interface as well as the transient charge density on the dielectric interface is close to that of nodal electric potential and an order of magnitude higher than those of existing FEMs.

Characterization of Electric Field Distribution Within High Voltage Press-packed IGBT Submodules Under Conditions of Repetitive Turn-on and Turn-off

The high-voltage high-power press-packed IGBT(PPI)devices are the key component of the DC transmission apparatus.A PPI device is composed of several PPI submodules.In general,the PPI submodule works in a state of repetitive turn-on and turn-off,and the corresponding working voltage is the positive periodic square waveform(PPSW)voltage,which is much different from the conventional AC or DC voltage.In addition,insulation capability is one of the most critical challenges in the design and fabrication of PPI devices.To improve the insulation capability of the device,composite insulation structures with multiple dielectrics are usually employed.Under the PPSW voltage,it is essential to analyze the transient electric field to solve the insulation challenge of the PPI devices.However,the electric field of the PPI is often calculated under the electrostatic field or DC field.Moreover,the transient characteristics of the electric field are ignored.Therefore,this paper focuses on the analysis of the transient characteristics of the electric field of the PPI submodule under the PPSW voltage.The influences of the waveform parameters of the PPSW voltage on the transient characteristics are demonstrated in detail.This study is significant for the insulation analysis and design of the PPIs.
