In this work, temperature rise and eddy current distribution on the enclosure and conductor of 3 pole gas insulated switchgear were investigated using analytical and experimental measures. The design of the diameters of the conductors and the enclosures of a meal clad gas insulated switchgear is primarily based on the insulation requirements. It is very difficult problem to predict the temperature rise of enclosed switchgear due to the complexity of the phenomena of heat transfer and existence of eddy current loss. To overcome this situations, we focused on the eddy current distribution on the enclosure of switchgear caused by high current 3 pole conductor as a fundamental basis. The experimental results about temperature distribution of 3 pole gas insulated switchgear were reported and measurements are compared with predictions of three-dimensional thermal model for eddy current analysis. As a result, three dimensional numerical analysis found to be in close relationship with experimental results and thermal model is efficient to predict the abnormal temperature rise in switchgear.

In recent years, the companies of electric power equipment for MV and HV classes trend to develop the eco-friendly insulated(solid, eco-gas, air etc.) switchgear which replaces existent SF6 gas insulated switchgear due to environmental problems such as global warming and so on. This paper makes reference to the newly developed Solid Insulated Switchgear (SIS) which uses the eco-friendly material such as epoxy for insulation. The insulation of the solid insulated switchgear (SIS) is composed of an epoxy, vacuum and air. The solid insulated switchgear (SIS) is a slate of the art product. The advantages of SIS are advanced reliability, economical efficiency, safety, maintenance free, reduction of installation area and the protection of environment. The solid insulated switchgear (SIS) is FE Analyzed such as electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and fluid in order to find the optimal design. Thens SIS has been verified by international standard test. (IEC 62271 - 100 and so on.) As a result of this, the solid insulated switchgear (SIS) has been estimated as an alternative for eco-friendly MV class switchgear.

The integrity of the gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is vital to the safety of an entire power grid. However, there are some limitations on the techniques of detecting and diagnosing partial discharge (PD) induced by insulation defects in GIS. This paper proposes a joint electro-chemical detection method to resolve the problems of incomplete PD data source and also investigates a new unique fault diagnosis method to enhance the reliability of data processing. By employing ultra-high frequency method for online monitoring and the chemical method for detecting SF6 decomposition offline, the acquired data can form a more complete interpretation of PD signals. By utilizing DS evidence theory, the diagnostic results with tests on the four typical defects show the validity of the new fault diagnosis system. With higher accuracy and lower computation cost, the present research provides a promising way to make a more accurate decision in practical application.

To develop and improve a GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear), the prediction of the pressure in puffer cylinder and the flow between the nozzle and the moving electrode within GIS is very important.The leading companies in GIS business issue the results of the study of flow within GIS including arc plasma. In this study, the characteristics of the flow of the GIS developed by HHI(Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd.) was investigated. To simulate the compressible flow of GIS, the CFX, a commercial CFD code, was used. With moving grid method, the movement of piston and electrode was simulated. The moving grid method was superior to the method of varying the property of cells to move an obsticle, in stability and convergencce of solution. The calculated maximum pressure within the puffer cylinder was matched with experimental data within $5{\%}$ error. The oscilation of pressure in GIS after the movement of electrode was well predicted.

GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) is used in electric power system, to insure non conductivity, breaking capacity and operating reliability. The commercial dynamic analysis code COSMOS MOTION and 3-D modeling program SOLID WORKS were used to simulate dynamic analysis of the closing resistors of the GIS in this paper. To reduce chatter vibration of closing resistors, the motion of moving and fixed parts of closing resistors were simulated by varying the spring constant, the damping coefficient and the mass of moving and fixed parts. The simulated results were compared with experimental results. As a result, chatter vibration of closing resistors of the GIS could be reduced by using the results. These data can be used to determine the spring constant, the damping coefficient and mass of a moving part to reduce chatter vibration when the next model is developed.

800kV GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) was first developed by Hyosung Corporation in Korea at Dec. 1998 and is going to be installed first in the Dangjin Thermal Plant. We intoned to verify the structural safety of 800kV GIS under seismic load. The modal analysis of 800kV GIS has been carried out to obtain the natural frequency and mode shape. PATRAN was used for mode)ing exactly 800kV GIS Geometry. 800kV GIS FE(Finite Element) model was constructed of shell elements for the enclosures and beam elements for the conductors and the support insulators NASTRAN was used for analyzing the normal modes of 800kV GIS FE model.

GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) is used in electric power system to insure non conductivity, breaking capacity and operating reliability. In the present study, dynamic analysis on the closing resistors of the GIS has bees carried out by the commercial dynamic analysis code COSMOS MOTION and 3-D modeling program SOLID WORKS. In order to find the minimum value of chatter vibration of closing resistors, the motion of moving and fixed resistor parts of closing resistors were simulated by varying the spring constant, the damping coefficient and the mass of moving and fixed resistor parts. The simulated results were compared with experimental results. The application of the results could reduce chatter vibration of closing resistors of the GIS. These data are also useful on the development of future model GIS with minimum chatter vibration for the determinations of the spring constant, the damping coefficient and mass of a moving part.

Currently national High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) operating mechanism is made up of spring operating mechanism or hydraulic operating mechanism. On the contrary, advanced technology trend in foreign countries replace current mechanical mechanism with electrical motor-drive mechanism that leads to participate GIS bid and increase sales with the point of simplification of driving system and IT application. Therefor it is essential to develop high voltage GIS using the motor-drive system to develop national heavy electric machine industries and catch up the technology to the advanced level. This paper therefore presents design and analysis of permanent synchronous motor for high voltage GIS, verifies the performance by the experimental test.

The thermal design of the bus bar of a Gas-Insulated Switchgear(GIS) becomes important since the current-carrying capacity of the GIS is limited by maximum operating temperature. In order to predict temperature rise of the bus bar, a program has been developed. Various heat sources possibly generated in the bus bar are calculated in the program. To estimate temperature rises at the bus bar caused by the heat balance between the heat generation and heat transfer, the finite volume method as well as the $4^{th}$ order Runge-Kutta method has been employed. In the experiments, temperature rises at conductor, contact part and external tank are measured for full-scale gas-insulated bus bars. The comparisons of the predicted values of the heat balance calculation to those of the experiments are made. From the comparisons, it is concluded that the developed program can predict the temperature rise of the bus bar quite well.
