Abstract

Contamination at the surface of the insulator becomes a serious problem. Especially for the tropical area, humidity and rainfall play an important role in wetness by the water at the insulator surface, which result in the presence of contaminant and leakage current flowing at the surface. This leakage current will generate heat which occurs at the surface of an insulator. This ultimately leads to flashover. This paper presents the influence of contaminants to leakage current and formation of electrical tracking at the surface of epoxy resin compound wit silicon rubber. The test was based on IPT method with NH4Cl as contaminants. The industrial and coastal contaminants are used to explain the effect of contaminant at surface tracking process. The flow rate of contaminant was 0.3 ml/min. The 3.5 kV AC high voltage 50 Hz was applied to the top electrodes. It is found that industrial contamination resulting in the smallest surface leakage current is 327.6 mA. Also it is found that coastal contaminant showed the severest damage at surface of test sample. Therefore, special treatment of the sample is needed under these conditions so that the material performance can be improved, especially against the electrical tracking.

Abstract

 A lightning arrester installed in an electrical power system is designed to protect some electrical equipment against damage due to lightning impulse strike. However, if  there is  a multiple impulse  current striking a lightning arrester, it may damage  the lightning arrester itself and then, as a result,  it cannot provide lightning protection to  the electrical equipment anymore. In this research, three peak values of lightning impulse current,which were  600, 1300, and 2500A, each of which had 5 repetitive impulse current, was  applied to a 5000A (1p.u.) ZnO block of a 24kV nominal voltage lightning arrester having seven ZnO block units. The results of research showed that by applying impulse current  of the order of 600(0.12), 1300(0.26), dan 2500(0.5) A(p.u.), making the ZnO block damage as much as 26.58, 50, and 100% concecutively. In addition, the damage of the ZnO block appeared as permanen low value of residual voltage as low as more than 5% of the new ZnO block residual voltage. If the ZnO block is still being used in a lightning arrester in electrical power system, it may result in the opening of a circuit breaker and possibly making electrical power outages from a number of electrical power customers.

Abstract

The performances of outdoor polymeric insulators are influenced by environmental conditions. The use of polymeric materials in a particular composition can be produced insulators that are resistant to environmental influences. This paper presents the effect of artificial tropical climate on the hydrophobicity, equivalent salt deposit density (ESDD), surface leakage current, flashover voltage, and surface degradation on epoxy-polysiloxane polymeric insulator materials with rice husk ash (RHA). Test samples are made at room temperature vulcanized (RTV) of various composition of epoxy-polysiloxane with rice husk ash as filler. The aging was carried out in test chamber at temperature from 50oC to 62oC, relative humidity of 60% to 80%, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation 21.28 w/cm2 in daylight conditions for 96 hours. The experiment results showed that the flashover voltage fluctuates from 34.13 kV up to 40.92 kV and tends to decrease on each variation of material composition. The surface leakage current fluctuates and tends to increase. Test samples with higher filler content result greater hydrophobicity, smaller equivalent salt deposit density, and smaller critical leakage current, which caused the increase of the flashover voltage. Insulator material (RTVEP3) showed the best performance in tropical climate environment. Artificial tropical aging for short duration gives less effect to the surface degradation of epoxy-polysiloxane insulator material.

Abstract

The lack of damping of the electromechanical oscillation modes usually causes severe problems of low frequency oscillations in interconnected power systems. In the extreme operating conditions, PSS may fail to damp power oscillation. This paper presents a robust coordinated design of power system stabilizer (PSS) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) to damp power oscillation in an interconnected power system. The inverse additive perturbation is applied to represent unstructured uncertainties in the power system such as variations of system parameters, system generating and loading conditions. In addition, genetic algorithm is employed to search a robust tuning to the controller parameters of both PSS and TCSC simultaneously. Simulation studies have been done in a single machine infinite bus system to confirm that the performance and robustness of the proposed controller are superior to that of the conventional controller.
