초고압송전계통의 주요 사양중에서 특히 고속도재폐로방식은, 선로개패이상전압의 크기에 관련되는 차단기의 사양과 계통신뢰도를 결정하는 보호계전장치의 주요한 결정요소가 된다. 따라서 가장 합리적인 개폐로방식을 선택할려면 계통발전의 초기상태에서 부터 최종 단계의 계통규모와 계통운용기준을 충분히 검토하여야 한다. 본 고에서는 초고압계통에 적용되는 최근의 재폐로방식 경향과 우리가 발전시키려는 계통규모에 적합한 재폐로방식을 비교검토한다.

This paper presents the computational method for analyzing the compressible flow fields in a high voltage gas circuit breaker. There are many difficult problems in analyzing the gas flow in GCB due to complex geometry, moving boundary, shock wave and so on. In particular, the distortion problem of the grid due to the movement of moving parts can be worked out by the fixed grid technique. Numerical simulations are based on a fully implicit finite volume method of the compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations to obtain the pressure, density, and velocity through the entire interruption process. The presented method is applied to the real circuit breaker model and the pressure in front of the piston is good agreement with the experimental one.

It is important to develop new effective technologies for increasing the interruption capacity and reducing the size of a GCB (Gas Circuit Breaker). It is not easy to test the real GCB model in practice as in theory. Therefore, a simulation tool based on a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) algorithm has been developed to facilitate an optimization of the interrupter. But the choice of grid is not at all trivial in the complicated geometries like a GCB. In this paper, we have applied a CFD-CAD integration using Cartesian cut-cell method, which is one of the grid generation techniques for dealing with complex and multi-component geometries.

Self-blast circuit breakers utilize the energy dissipated by the arc itself to create the required conditions for arc quenching during the current zero. During the arcing period, high pressure, temperature and radiation of the arc could burn in pure SF6 gas and PTFE nozzle. Ablated nozzle shape and $SF_6$-PTFE mixture vapor affect the performance of an self-blast circuit breaker. After a number of tests, nozzle in circuit breaker is disassembled, a section of ablated nozzle is investigated precisely. Using computational fluid dynamics, the conservation equation for the gas and temperature, velocity and electric fields within breaker is solved. Before applying a section model, developed program is verified with experimental data. Performance of ablated nozzle shape is compared with original model through analysis program.

열팽창 방식의 가스차단기는 아크 에너지 자체를 이용하여 압력상승을 얻고, 상승된 압력을 이용하여 전류 영점 부근에서 아크 방향으로의 유동을 형성하여 아크를 소호한다. 대전류 구간에서 노즐 폐색현상이 일어나면 노즐 용삭이 크게 일어나며 용삭된 노즐 물질은 팽창실의 압력과 온도를 상승시키게 된다. 따라서 차단 특성해석을 위해서는 노즐 용삭에 의한 압력 상승해석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 아크에너지에 따른 노즐 용삭비를 이용하여 용삭되는 노즐량을 계산하고, 이로 인한 back flow현상을 고려한 해석 방법을 제안한다. 개발된 프로그램을 제작한 차단부 모델에 적용한 결과, 열팽창실의 압력상승치는 시험결과와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

전력수요의 증대에 따른 계동모의 확장에 따라 관련기기는 초고압 및 대용량화 추세에 있다. 이러한 관련기기들 중에서도 특히 154/22.9kV 전력용 변압기는 고장시 수용가의 정전범위가 방대하고 변압기 내부 고장의 복구비용 또한 막대하므로 경제적 손실은 물론 사회적 영향도 크다. 우리나라에서는 1980년 초기부터 154/22.9kV 전력용 변압기의 고장이 급증하였으며, 이러한 원인은 주로 직전접지 방식을 채택하고 있는 한전 계통에서 배전선의 지락고장에 의한 지락고장 전류가 변압기 중성점을 통하여 변압기에 충격을 가함으로써 변압기 권선 단락 절연파괴 및 ULTC 고장 등이 발생하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 한전에서는 변압기 중성점으로 흐르는 지락고장전류의 저감을 위해 변압기 중성점 접지 리액터(NGR: Neutral Ground Reactor)를 설치하여 운전하고 있으며, 결과 변압기 고장이 크게 감소하였다. 그러나 모선 절체시 변압기 1, 2차측 차단기 Trip 고장이 발생하였으며, 고장 발생 원인은 NGR 보호계전기 59GT 계전기의 오동작에 의한 86T Lock Out 계전기 동자으로 변압기 1, 2차측 차단기 Trip 고장이 발생한 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 무부하 모선 차단시 59GT 계전기에 나타나는 이상 전압을 EMTP (electro-magnetic transient program)를 이용하여 분석하였다.

The non-controlled closing of High-voltage SF6 gas circuit breaker can cause transient current and overvoltage in the field. The controlled closing technology is an effective way to reduce transient current and voltage, prevent equipment failures, and improve power quality. For the development of controlled closing, it is obviously necessary to determine the withstand voltage between arc contacts of High-voltage SF6 gas circuit breaker in making operation. This paper focuses on decrease of pressure and density of SF6 gas that can affect withstand voltage between arc contacts in making operation. The dielectric strength between arc contacts could be improved by minimizing the decrement of pressure and density of SF6 gas obtained by simulation and test and moreover the rate of decrease of dielectric strength (RDDS) of arc contacts could be foreseen.

Self-blast circuit breakers utilize the energy dissipated by the arc itself to create the required conditions for arc quenching during the current zero. The high-current simulation provides information about the mixing process of the hot PTFE cloud with $SF_6$ gas which is difficult to access for measurement. But it is also hard to simulate flow phenomenon because the flow in interrupter with high current, $SF_6$-PTFE mixture vapor and complex physical behavior including radiation, calculation of electric field. Using a commercial computational fluid dynamics(CFD) package, the conservation equation for the gas and temperature, velocity and electric fields within breaker can be solved. Results show good agreement between the predicted and measured pressure rise in the thermal chamber.

This paper presents the prediction method of small current interruption Performance for EHV gas circuit breakers. The FVFLIC method is used for the gas flow analysis and the FEM for the electric field analysis. Then, the dielectric withstanding voltage is evaluated by the empirical formulation or Streamer theory. By comparing the calculated dielectric strength with the test result. it is found that both methods show good prediction capability for the small current interruption performance. Especially, when both methods predict the same interrupting performance, the prediction is in accordance with the experimental result.
