“It is a box that can take energy in any form – it doesn’t care whether it is AC or DC – and it will provide energy on the secondary side with very few losses and to the specifications set by the client.” By Dr: Aedan Kernan

Overloading Capabilities (LFT)

IEC 60076-7 Loading Guide IEC 60076-5, Specifies The required short-circuit current withstand duration to be 2s.

Normal Cyclic Loading

  • A higher ambient temperature
  • r a higher than rated load

current is applied during part of the cycle.

  • 100 % for normal operation

load

  • Current (p.u.) up to 1,5
  • Top-oil temperature 105 (oC)
  • Hot-spot temperature 140 (oC)

Long–Time Emergency Cyclic Loading

  • Loading resulting from the

prolonged outage of some system elements that will not be reconnected before a steady state.

  • 150 % for temporary overload
  • Current (p.u.) 1,5
  • Top-oil temperature 115 (oC)
  • Hot-spot temperature 140 (oC)

Short-Time Emergency Loading

  • Unusually heavy loading due

to the occurrence of one or more unlikely events which seriously disturb normal system loading.

180% for temporary half

hour overload

  • Current (p.u.) 1,8
  • Top-oil temperature 115 (oC)
  • Hot-spot temperature 160 (oC)

Overloading Capabilities (SST)

The power electronics components reduces the overload capability during load peaks. The control action could provide a solution to the overloading problem during the transients faults The SST higher realization costs do not allow to oversize In contrast with the grid components requirement of bearing currents higher than the rated values for longer periods. The SST needs new procedures for dealing with the over loading conditions

Overloading Control Concept (SST)

Photovoltaic (PV) plant equipped with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The BESS contributes to limit the power fluctuation in the feeder. Manage a possible overload without derating the SST. This will reduce the current and enhances the SST security against the

  • verload situation.

Page 12 Cigré SCB1

Overloading Capabilities (SST)

Concept of the Coordinated Frequency and Voltage Overload Control. Voltage and frequency of the master controller are set to nominal values (OS I). The Master controller changes the frequency thought the DG droop controller (OS II). After 35s Insufficient power contribution is reached and DG is not sufficient to control frequency. Master controller starts changing the voltage level at LV terminal of SST The transformer overload is avoided for total

  • f 60 sec (OS III).

Cost Implications (LFT)

Total ownership cost consist of several components:

  • Purchase price
  • The Installation Costs
  • Value of the Energy Losses
  • Maintenance Costs
  • Decommissioning Costs

Life Cycle Cost Breakdown Factors A, B (€/kW), that depend on transformer type, size, loading conditions, as well as cost of capital, energy market forecasts, expected transformer life.

Page 16 Cigré SCB1

Cost Implications (SST)

Costs are estimated by means of component cost models for high-volume production

  • Approximately factor of five more

expensive purchasing price.

  • Produces roughly two to three

times higher losses.

  • It offers reduction in the footprint,

weight and volume.

  • It eliminates all associated costs

with using oil.

  • Offers savings in the civil, transport

and installation costs.

  • TOC will be higher due to the

higher purchasing price and higher losses.

SST System Benefits

Unlike the conventional (LFT) the (SST) offers additional system benefits that should be considered when comparing to (LFT)

Universal Fault Isolation Instantaneous Voltage Regulations Integrates Energy Storage Actively Change Power Characteristics Improve Power Quality Provide DC Power Provides ability to utilise input or output in AC or DC power. Protects the load from power supply disturbances Eliminates the tap changer requirement Provides backup and reduces

  • utages length

Control voltage and frequency levels will reduce the system losses Provide reactive power compensation and system harmonic filtering In substations it could be used to feed control equipment or to feed DC micro grid
