Abstract:
Partial discharges are the major cause of deterioration in the insulation characteristics of switchgears. Therefore, timely detection of partial discharge in switchgear and potential insulation faults is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed in the power supervision industry. In this study, a device was proposed for online monitoring of high-voltage switchgears based on pulse current method and ozone (O3) detection. The pulse current method obtains the PD signal by monitoring the phase holes on the switch indicator. Occurrence of a partial discharge in a certain phase leads to the production of a discharge pulse, which can be coupled out by a capacitive sensor. The current spectrum and the O3 produced by partial discharge were processed via fast Fourier transform for accurate diagnosis of the occurrence of partial discharge and its severity in switchgears. The proposed method allows for convenient acquisition of the partial discharge signal, simple installation of the device, and realization with inexpensive sensors.

Abstract:
After being in the focus of sciences' and industry's research and development activities for many years, the investigation of possible SF<sub>6</sub> gas-alternatives has been even more intensified after the revision of the European F-Gas regulation 517/2014. As natural gases yield a significantly lower dielectric strength in comparison to SF<sub>6</sub>, new challenges arise for the design of high voltage switchgear. Vacuum interrupters are environmentally friendly, reliable and able to withstand steep rising transient recovery voltages. In the last years, first installations of switchgear based on vacuum switching technology in sub-transmission level are in operation. One option for the realization of a SF<sub>6</sub> free high voltage switchgear for transmission level is the combination of a gas circuit breaker filled with an atmospheric gas with a vacuum interrupter in a hybrid switchgear. In this contribution the voltage distribution and switching behavior of a hybrid circuit breaker is experimentally investigated.

Abstract:
Reliability Assessment of low-voltage switchgear is of great significance to the safety of power system and its equipment. In this thesis, Bayes theory is introduced into the reliability Assessment of low-voltage switchgear. The main failure modes and failure rate of low-voltage switchgear has been summarized, and the fault arrangement diagram of low voltage switchgear is given in this paper. In view of the low-voltage switchgear with high reliability and relatively large number of samples, a feasible compatibility test method is proposed. Firstly, the distribution type can be tested through engineering experience and Goodness of fit test for weibull distribution. Then a prior information compatibility test is carried out by Wilcoxon rank sum test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov nonparametric test method. Finally, the prior information which is incompatible with credible site information is removed and reliable prior information is obtained. This paper lays a solid foundation for the Low-voltage switchgear reliability assessment based on Bayes theory.

Abstract:
: in gas insulated substations, issue of very fast transient over voltages is very familiar problem because of its effects on live ultra-high voltage equipment. During switching events of disconnectors and circuit breakers prestrikes and restrikes occur due to which voltage transients propagate through gas insulated switchgear. Reflection retraction of these transients increases voltage magnitude and generates very high frequency oscillations. Mitigation or suppression of these voltage transients is important to protect equipment and their dielectric strength and insulation. Due to very high frequency stress, they wield on the apparatus and their magnitude (up to 3.5pu), they create an important problem in the design of ultra-high voltage Gas Insulated Substations. In this paper nanocrystalline based mitigation technique for VFTOs is presented. Nanocrystalline rings can be placed around inner conductor of GIS switchgear. This method of mitigation technique is investigated with four ultra-high voltage substations simulation test setup. Simulation results are presented in MATLAB/SIMULINK

Abstract:
This research investigates the distortion on the electrical distribution system for a high voltage DC Integrated Power System (IPS). The analysis was concentrated on the power supplied to a propulsion motor driven by an inverter with simulated silicon carbide switches. Theoretically, silicon carbide switches have the advantage of being able to withstand a very large blocking voltage and carry very large forward currents. Silicon carbide switches are also very efficient due to their quick rise and fall times. Since silicon carbide switches can withstand high voltage differentials and switch faster than silicon switches, the switching effects on the electrical distribution system were investigated. The current state of silicon carbide power electronics was also investigated. This research quantifies the current and voltage distortion over various operating conditions. A system model was developed using Matlab, Simulink, and SimPowerSystems. The model consisted of a synchronous generator supplying a rectifier and inverter set driving an induction motor. This induction motor simulates the propulsion motor for a Navy ship. This model had a DC link voltage of 10 kV in order to simulate future Navy IPS systems. The current and voltage distortion were compared to MIL STD 1399 and IEEE STD 519 and 45.

Heavy electrical Products are the critical infrastructures for the overall industry. Moreover, the High-Low voltage switchgears are the significant parts in heavy electrical products supply chain. In order to promote Taiwan’s switchgear industry manufacturers’ ability, the government had guided the manufacturers by appraised them in different classes(class1, 2or3) in the age of 1970. Only the manufacturers who were classified as class one are allowed to bid the High-Low switchgear jobs in the important public or some main private investments. The government stopped the appraising policy while considering the average switchgear manufacturing ability had been improved and raised in the age of 1990. After Taiwan joined the World Trade Organization“WTO”, the local market of the heavy electrical industry has become more and more competitive and liberalized as many of international competitors enter the market, such as:ABB, Areva, SIEMENS, Schneider, Hitachi, Toshiba…etc. As for High-Low switchgears business, the international competitors with their high quality and standardized products intend strongly to compete in Taiwan market. However, after past few years, It seems that Taiwan’s manufacturers are still standing strong enough in the market. How about their current situation, what are their core competence and what are the competitive advantages for that? The purpose of this thesis is to explore what are the Taiwan switchgear manufacturer’s current situation, core competence and competitive advantage. The result of the exploration stated that, Taiwan’s switchgear manufacturers are equipped with core competence in producing, Sales, Skillful technical people, and financial situation. Therefore, creates a good efficient, flexible, quick response to market demand and low cost operation competitive advantages.

This research introduces a new design of a converter modified from SEPIC converter (Single end primary inductive converter), capable of generating desired voltage levels and polarities. The new switching converter topology allows for boost and buck of the input voltage theoretically achieving infinite positive and negative voltage levels. The proposed topology utilizes single high frequency switch to perform the power conversion which simplifies the design of the gate driver, but meanwhile, it still retains the ability to provide a wide range of output voltage. Mathematical modeling of the converter and computer simulations are validated by experimental data. To verify its performance a prototype was designed and built. It is experimentally proven that the circuit can generate a desired voltage in the range of voltages up to ±170 V, delivering 480 Watts of power to a resistive load.

Abstract:
High Energy Arcing Faults (HEAF) have the potential to cause extensive damage to the failed electrical components and distribution systems along with adjacent equipment and cables within the zone of influence (ZOI). Furthermore, the significant energy released during HEAF event can act as an ignition source to other components within the area of the HEAF. In Japan, during the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in 2011, the seismic induced HEAF fire event, which induced the whole damage of the multiple high voltage switchgears, was observed in Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). In response, in August 2017, the NRA (Nuclear Regular Authority) in Japan amended the safety requirement for the power supply to consider the influence of the successive fire due to the HEAF event (hereinafter HEAF fire event). Therefore, it is urgently necessary to establish the design criteria to prevent the HEAF fire event, and enhance the experiment data of the HEAF fire event. In order to estimate the total arc energy during the HEAF event and obtain the threshold value to prevent the HEAF fire for the existed non-arc proof electrical cabinets, several series of three-phase internal arc tests with high (6.9kV class) and low (480V class) voltage electrical cabinets were executed. We executed internal arc tests with full scale high/low voltage metal-enclosed switchgear components (non-arc proof type, copper bus conductor), and evaluated arc energy, the mechanical damage of the cabinet and the surrounding equipment due to the impulsive pressure and the possibility of successive fire occurrence. In case of high voltage switchgear, when the arcing energy exceeded 25.3MJ, successive fire was identified. Especially, in the case where the arc flash was discharged in the circuit breaker room, a 2-second arcing duration in a three-phase short-circuit current with 18.9kA (measured arcing energy over 40MJ) caused successive fire which required extinguishment. On the other hand, in case of low voltage power center, when the arcing energy exceeded 19MJ, successive fire was identified. According to these demonstrative tests, this paper presents the evaluation method to estimate total arc discharge energy during the HEAF event for high and low voltage electrical cabinets.
