DSR Technology Overview

3

  • A multi‐dimensional solution to control power flow through

existing transmission lines developed by Smart Wire Grid

  • Increases line impedance by injecting a pre‐tuned value of

magnetizing inductance of the Single‐Turn Transformer

  • Two modes of operation:

1.

Autonomously, based on locally programmable set points

2.

Two way communication, enabling more sophisticated operation and line monitoring

Vibration Testing

Methods

– Tested in advance of each DSR installation using installation‐specific line specifications – So far only tested on Gen 1 DSRs – Tests were based on:

  • IEEE Std 664‐1993: IEEE Guide for Laboratory

Measurement of the Power Dissipation Characteristics

  • f Aeolian Vibration Dampers for Single Conductors,
  • IEEE Std 1368‐2006: IEEE Guide for Aeolian Vibration

Field Measurements of Conductors, and

  • IEEE Std 563‐1978: IEEE Guide on Conductor Self‐

Damping Measurements.

Vibration Testing

  • The purpose of these tests was to understand

what happens to the line dynamics when one places an approximately 100 kg mass on the line.

  • If line dynamics

are unacceptable, develop appropriate mitigation strategy.

Takeaways

– For TVA line, NEETRAC recommended that:

  • DSR unit should be installed 6 ft. – 4 in. ± 6 in. from the

suspension clamp.

  • An AFL 1706 damper should be placed 9 ft. ± 6 in. from

the DSR face.

– Results are relatively consistent across a range of DSR and damper placements so slight deviation from the recommended installation location of the DSR and/or the damper should not affect the damper’s performance.

  • Takeaways

– Model 1000 DSRs w/ protector rod passed RIV requirements for 230 kV line, case inception >296 kV line‐ground with 11 ft. ground plane. – Model 1000 DSRs w/o protector rod passed RIV requirements for 345 kV line with 11 ft. ground plane (standard allows more distance to ground plane at 345 kV). – Re‐design of protector rod may enable corona‐ free operation above 230 kV when using protector rod.

  • The following tests indicate that DSR type device

should have no impact on the conductor or support structures:

Vibration (Note: At TVA and Southern Company, successful mitigation strategies were developed.)

  • The following tests indicate that DSR type device,

without mitigation, would have a significant impact on:
