Effect of particles on transformer dielectric strength.

The effect of particles on the dielectric strength of insulating oil
has long been recognized by researchers and much effort has
been devoted in attempts to characterize this effect. However,
only few experiments have been carried out with insulated
electrodes and even then, the extrapolation from test set-up to
full-size transformers is very difficult given the effect of the oil
volume on the probability of breakdown.

HVDC multiterminal (MTDC) Systems permit the exchange of

energy between a number of HVDC substations. The particular
advantage of the meshed system is that this exchange can
continue even when one of the interconnecting lines is out of
service. Investigations have shown that the performance of
MTDC systems can be improved by installing HVDC circuitbreakers at appropriate locations.

Refurbishment and upgrading of foundations.

This report provides an outline of good practice on the
refurbishment and upgrading of existing overhead transmission
line support foundations. Possible reasons for foundation
deterioration are reviewed, which may result from such diverses
causes as early-age concrete cracking to damage by frost forces.
the critical nature of the inspection and testing strategy are
considered, with attention focussed on the economics of the
inspection/testing regime, the use of alternative strategies and the
different levels of foundation inspection together with the actual
inspection test methods.
The focus of general public concern on the environment results

in the use of underground lines being considered since they offer
alternative or interesting complementary solutions for the bulk
transmission of electrical energy. This leads to the installation of
underground cables in some areas, where overhead lines would
automatically have been considered in the past.

Foundation testing.
Increasing environmental and aesthetic concerns regarding the

utilisation of overhead electrical power transmission lines are
resulting in a growing need to progress the use of underground
alternatives. This increases the importance of looking for
opportunities to further reduce the cost ratio between overhead
and underground distribution and transmission. One approach is
to address the inherent costs associated wtih the cable system by
reducing the required withstand capability in line with the actual
service requirements rather than traditional levels in particular
the transient overvoltage performance.

Electricity utilities need to design overhead lines to withstand

potential cascade failures of towers which could occur as a result
of exceptional icing or rupture of conductors. Some utilities
simply design the lines with section towers at frequent intervals
and other utilities use special devices called 'load control devices'
(LCD) the function of which is to limit the stresses applied to the
towers in cases of exceptional longitudinal loads.

Guidelines for field measurement of ice loadings on

The design of transmission line support foundations an overview.
When criteria for ice loading on overhead transmission lines are

established, experiences from existing lines and line networks are
of great economical value. This document describes the
importance of such data and procedures for collecting them.
Guidelines for company routines as well as recommendations for
tools, training and observation procedures are given. Includes
two sets of observation forms : for collecting fundamental and
accurate information on ice loadings and shedding on various
conductor types and a simplified set for collecting basic
information.
Transmission line foundations provide the interlinking

component between the support and in-situ soil and/or rock. The
interrelationship between the support type and the applied
foundation loadings are considered, together with the methods of
determining the engineering properties of the in-situ soil and/or
rock. Two principal categories of foundations have been
considered: separate and compact. The major types applicable to
each category are reviewed e.g. monoblock, spead, drilled shaft,
pile, anchor, direct embedment of poles, etc

In most countries the demand for electric power is constantly

increasing, and there is a corresponding requirement to increase
the power transferred by transmission and distribution lines. A
solution would be to build new lines, but this may not be feasible
on account of economic or environmental considerations. Hence,
there may be pressure to increase the load transfer capacity of
both new and old lines.

The reliability of network components and systems is a major
concern for manufacturers of electrical equipment and utilities.
Reliability techniques, derived from the aeronautical and nuclear
industries have been used in the field of electrical systems and
have now reached maturity. Thus CIGRE Committees have
considered reliability to be an important characteristic of network
components and reliability is still the subject of many discussions
and exchanges of experience.

still rather unique. GIS technology can however contribute very
effectively to increasing the relaibility of new substations and to

Guidance on planning and design of DC links terminating at AC

system locations having low short-circuit capacities relative to
the DC power infeed. The Guide is limited to those aspects of
interactions between AC and DC systems which result from the
fact that the AC system is 'weak' compared to the power of the
DC link (i.e. AC system appears as a high impedance at the
AC/DC interface bus). Some more general aspects of the design
and planning of HVDC transmission schemes are described only
when this adds to the understanding of the interaction phenomena
and for the sake of completeness of the guidelines.
During the recent years there has been a growing need for better
utilisation of high voltage transmission systems. Power electronic
equipment, having an inherent fast controllability, offers
solutions to transmission system problems such as load flow and
stability. Therefore, engineers are increasingly studying the
potential of such equipment to make transmission systems more

It is not uncommon that HVDC convertor stations and generators

are situated electrically and geographically close to each other.
This follows from the fact that HVDC links are often built to
transmit power from a generating station to a load centre or
another part of the power system. Examples of this are the Itaipu
and IPP schemes. In these cases the HVDC and generator
stations are designed more or less in parallel which means that

The concept of adaptive protection evolved during the 1980s.

By then, digital computer based relaying was well accepted.
Most relaying functions have been shown to be amenable to
digital computer implementation and the satisfactory field
experience with these devices has allayed the fears of protection
engineers about the survivability of computer relays in the harsh

Monograph on GIS very fast transients.
Polluted insulators : a review of current knowledge.
With the introduction of GIS a new type of overvoltages called

fast transients was created. They contain frequencies far above
those arising in conventional open-air substations and have thus
caused unexpected problems for the GIS insulation or the
insulation of other equipment connected to it.
The performance of insulators used on overhead lines and

overhead distribution lines and in outdoor substations is a key
factor in determining the reliability of power delivery systems.
The insulators not only must withstand normal operating voltage,
but also must withstand overvoltages that may cause
disturbances, flashovers and line outages. The reduction in the
performance of outdoor insulators occurs mainly by the pollution
of the insulating surfaces from air-borne depositis that may form
a conducting or partially conducting surface layer when wet.

Memorandum on power line carrier systems.
This report does not attempt to give a precise description of the

possible solutions but is rather a guide for persons working in
this field rather than a collection of definitive recommendations.
Although confirmed to transmission application, many of the
techniques discussed are applicable to distribution systems.
The memorandum is intended to provide information on the

already extensive and growing use of high frequency power line
carrier systems by the power authorities in many countries. Since
such telecommunications systems are operated over open wire
lines designed for the bulk transmission of energy, there can in
principle be some radiation of high frequency energy and
conversely the communication system may itself suffer
interference from other systems.
CE/SC 35 GT/WG 06, 1989, 54 pp.

The increasing complexity and interconnection of power

networks has resulted in the continuing development and
application of power line carrier in many countries. There is a
need to supplement and bring up to date existing information on
PLC and to incorporate information on the current state of the
art, together with a sufficient theoretical treatment of the subject
towards a better understanding of the basic aspects of PLC
communication.

Many countries have experimented with several transformations

in their power sectors. These transformations have one or more
of the following characteristics: improvement in the efficiency
of the electric power sector; introduction of competition in
generation under the hypothesis that this competition will lead to
technological improvements, better services and least cost.

Based on many incidents that have been experienced, the electric

power industry is increasingly concerned with bulk power system
voltage instability and collapse. There is now a large literature on
voltage stability analysis methods. Production grade simulation
software is also now available. There is relatively little

Power system security can be defined as the art and science of

the "survival" of power systems. In order to ensure their survival,
power systems are operated within certain power transfer limits,
commonly referred to as security limits. If such limits depend on
steady state feasibility or adequacy criteria, they are called
steady-state or static security limits; otherwise, if such limits
depend on transient or long-term stability criteria, these are
referred to as dynamic security limits.

The search for an optimal solution can consist of several steps of
which some are done automatically and some require user

System protection schemes in power networks.

System protection schemes have been used in power networks
for many years. Probably all utilities have used for instance
frequency controlled load shedding to avoid collapse of the
system in case of major production deficits. However these first
generation schemes were based on local measurements and local
control which limited the use of such schemes. With the
development of reliable and fast communication means came the
idea of using remote signals such as breaker positions resulting in
a second generation of system protective schemes.

Electrical power systems in developing countries
SYMPOSIUMS
DAKAR, COTE D'IVOIRE/IVORY COAST, 25-27/11/1985

The development of electric power systems in countries where
consumption per head is low gives rise to specific technical and
economic problems. Which means of generation should be chosen
and for which type of consumption ? What type of transmission,
interconnection and distribution systems ? Why rely on any
particular security of supply criterion rather than any other, in the
planning and operation of these systems ? How can major
constraints to be observed be identified ? What will be the future
developments in the techniques used ?

distributed generation, making reference to their technicoeconomical characteristics, experiences of application, strategic
programs. It will then focus on how these issues impact on power
system planning and operation and on IRP applicability, by trying
to identify new strategies and business opportunities for the ESI.
Consideration of the possible new market of providing ancillary
services (reserve, frequency and voltage control etc) in connection
with DSM and distributed generation applications.
