Research on the Structural Scheme and Technical Characteristics of Prefabricated Substations
1. Container Scheme1.1 Structural SchemeIn the container structural scheme, the container is mainly constructed from steel plates, steel beams, steel columns, corner fittings, etc. The container structure is an integrated structure formed by combining steel plates and a frame. Based on the single - layer layout of the container, finite - element software is used to establish the container structure model, and then the building load of the container structure is simulated and calculated.

Feeder Protection
Feeder ProtectionDefinitionFeeder protection refers to safeguarding electrical feeders against faults to ensure the uninterrupted power supply of the grid. Feeders transmit electrical energy from substations to the load end. Given their crucial role in the power distribution network, protecting feeders from various types of faults is of utmost importance. The primary requirements for feeder protection are as follows: Selective Tripping: During a short - circuit event, only the circuit breaker cl

Heat pipe in generator circuit breaker (GCB)
An important consideration for a generator circuit breaker is its current - carrying capacity. The rated currents of generators typically span from 3000 A (for 50 MVA units) to 50000 A (for 2000 MVA units). As these currents flow through the circuit breaker, heat is generated. To increase the rated current of a specific circuit breaker, it is essential to enhance the heat transfer to the surrounding environment, ensuring that the temperatures of all components remain within acceptable limits.Con

Differential Protection of a Generator
Generator Differential ProtectionDifferential protection for a generator primarily safeguards the stator windings against earth faults and phase - to - phase faults. Stator winding faults pose a significant threat, capable of inflicting severe damage on the generator. To protect the stator windings, a differential protection system is utilized to clear faults in the shortest time possible, thereby minimizing the extent of damage.Merz - Prize Circulating Current SystemIn this protection scheme, t

Design scheme of rack-mounted structure for prefabricated cabin-type secondary combined equipment in 220kV substation
Currently, most secondary equipment in newly - built intelligent substations is placed inside prefabricated cabins located in the switchgear area. After the cabin bodies are manufactured, secondary equipment manufacturers enter the cabins for installation and debugging, resulting in a rather complex and cumbersome construction process. A typical 220 kV intelligent substation usually requires the setup of two prefabricated cabins: one for 220 kV and one for 110 kV. Both cabins are of Type II, wit

Differential Protection Relay
DefinitionA differential protection relay is one whose operation hinges on the phase difference of two or more electrical quantities. It operates based on the principle of comparing the phase angle and magnitude of the same electrical quantities.ExampleTake the comparison of the input and output currents of a transmission line as an instance. If the magnitude of the input current of the transmission line exceeds that of the output current, it indicates that additional current is flowing through

What is the difference between fixed-time overcurrent protection and inverse-time overcurrent protection?
Action time characteristicsFixed-time overcurrent protection: the action time of the protective device is fixed, independent of the size of the fault current. No matter how much the fault current exceeds the setting value, as long as the action conditions are met, a pre-set fixed time will elapse before action is taken to trip or signal is issued. For example, if the set action time is 5 seconds, then when the current exceeds the set value, no matter how much it exceeds, the protection will be t

Generator circuit breakers(GCB) role in gas turbine power plants
When starting a gas - turbine generator, its rotor must first be accelerated by external means to approximately 60% of the rated speed. Only then does the start - up process become self - sustaining, meaning the turbine can generate enough power to continue the process independently. To achieve this initial acceleration, energy can be supplied by various means, with a static frequency converter (SFC) being a common choice.Generator circuit breakers (GCBs) play a crucial role in this process.
