Gas Insulated Substations

herausgegeben von Hermann J. Koch
Comprehensive reference covering all aspects of gas insulatedsubstations including basic principles, technology, use & application, design, specification, testing and ownershipissues
This book provides an overview on the particular developmentsteps of gas insulated high-voltage switchgear, and is based on theinformation given with the editor's tutorial. The theory iskept low only as much as it is needed to understand gas insulatedtechnology, with the main focus of the book being on deliveringpractical application knowledge. It discusses some introductory andadvanced aspects in the meaning of applications.
The start of the book presents the theory of Gas InsulatedTechnology, and outlines reliability, design, safety, grounding andbonding, and factors for choosing GIS. The third chapter presentsthe technology, covering the following in detail: manufacturing, specification, instrument transformers, Gas Insulated Bus, and theassembly process. Next, the book goes into control and monitoring, which covers local control cabinet, bay controller, controlschemes, and digital communication. Testing is explained in themiddle of the book before installation and energization. Importantly, operation and maintenance is discussed. This chapterincludes information on repair, extensions, retrofit or upgrade, and overloading. Finally applications are covered along withconcepts of layout, typical layouts, mixed technology substations, and then other topics such as life cycle assessment, environmentalimpact, and project management.
