Electrical Substations

SAME DAY SWITCHING

Same day switching avoids the extended outages and human and equipment costs associated with inoperable and broken switches.The vast majority of air break disconnect and ground switches in electric power networks typically receive no appreciable maintenance. This invariably results in the inability...

An Overview of Substation Maintenance: Its Evolution and Key Testing Practices

As electrical systems age, operating costs increase while reliability dwindles. Given most utilities and industrial facilities are highly capital intensive and have limited financial and other resources to make wholesale equipment replacements, regular maintenance is critical for controlling the...

The End of the Road for Transmission Incentives

In a significant shift, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has decided to abandon its transmission incentives policy, particularly the construction work in progress (CWIP) incentives. This decision marks a pivotal change in how transmission projects are financed and regulated,...

A New Approach to High Voltage Insulation System Testing

Speed is the driving force of successful fault prevention. Early detection of insulation deterioration is key for avoiding asset failure, associated unplanned outages, and physical damage to infrastructure. The traditional testing approaches most teams rely on inhibit quick diagnosis of insulation...

How to Improve Transformer Protection

Using symmetrical components for fault discrimination in differential protection

BY IMRAN RIZVI, ABB Inc.

Classical differential protection schemes are subject to ghost differential currents due to current transformer (CT) saturation and magnetization currents. Several methods are used to counter the impact of these unwanted differential currents. Electricity Today Magazine and ABB will focus on how to improve transformer protection by using the symmetrical component techniques to stabilize differential protection schemes without sacrificing the speed and...
