1. Electric Power System …
▪ Power Network
• The term (sebutan) high voltage is used as a generic
term to include all voltages higher than 1000 volts,
although the emphasis is on the typical voltage levels
used power systems.
• High voltages, however, feature in many applications
that are not related to the power system. Typical
examples are automotive ignition systems, cathode
ray tubes as found in oscilloscopes and television sets.

The power transmission: S = 3 V I*

This equation:
• For a fixed S and V=high voltage, resulte in lower I
• Lower I: losses and voltage drops are lower.

2. Aspects of using High Voltage
• To prevent current leakage or flashover due to inadequate insulation.
• Higher conductivity Conductors: copper and aluminium are the cost-effective
choices.
• Non-metal for insulating material: gas, air, pure water, etc.
Table 1. Properties of Conductors and Insulating Materials

Hermagasantos Zein & Siti Saudah, Jurusan Teknik Konversi Energi, Polban
2. Aspects of using High Voltage …
From the table:
Air at atmospheric pressure is an obvious choice as an insulating material.
• The widespread use of high voltage overhead lines and outdoor substations.
• Still necessary to support the high voltage conductors mechanically.

Porcelain and Glass have given good service as support or suspension


insulators.
• These insulators then appear parallel to the air insulation that surrounds the
bare conductor (konductor telanjang).
• The interface between the porcelain or glass and air turns out to be a
vulnerable region (tempat serangga).

In metal clad insulated system (GIS): SF6 as main insulating medium.

Solid materials (i.e. Porcelin, galss and polymers): support the conductor HV

Transformer and other equipment use mineral oil, either on its own in
combination with linen or paper

Hermagasantos Zein & Siti Saudah, Jurusan Teknik Konversi Energi, Polban
2. Aspects of using High Voltage …
In a properly (wajar)designed system:
• Insulation sistems: reliably under normal as well as abnormal
volatage
• Main factor of failure : overstressing, i.e. Electric field exceed
capabilitties and indusces failure.
• Air at atmospheric pressure: good insulator and a gap electrodes
without sharp protrusions (benjolan tajam) can withstand 20 kV/cm.
However, at 30 kV/cm the air in the gap becomes ionized and
breaks down, leading to a flashover, accompanied by a high short
circuit.
• Lightning is the build up electric charge in the cloud causes field
conditions, leading eventually to a massive discharge in the form of
a high current to ground.

3. Energy sources and energy conversion
• Direct conversion: solar energy by the photo voltage effect.
• All the electricity in the world is generated using Faraday’s law (water,
stem or wind energy causes ratation of the turbine and generator rotor.
• When the magnetic poles on the rotor move past the stator: electricity in
induced in the stator winding, producing power as shown in fig. below

3. Energy sources and energy conversion …
Generator: Typecal large generator:
• Ratting: 500 - 900 MVA
• Voltage: 24 kV.
• Full load current:10 – 20 kA.
• Reducing losses: water-cooling of the stator winding and the use of air-cooled
bus ducts for the connections between the generator and the generator
transformer.
• The insulation of the stator bars relative to the stator slots poses a particularly
difficult insulation problem in the light of the limited space, high voltage and
temperature

4. Substation
• Substations are the nodes in the power system
• Transmission substations: interconnection nodes on the main transmission
system.
• Distribution stations:132 kV and below to distribute the power to consumers.
A typical distribution substation is shown in Fig.8.

4. Substation …
• The Fig. shows: a conventional outdoor and of an indoor gas-insulated
substation (GIS).
• In GIS the use of SF6, a gas with exceptional insulating properties, facilitates the
design of very compact substations.
• In GIS a co-axial tubular system is used and all the components, such as circuit
breakers, isolators and circuit breakers form an integral part of the substation.
