As descargas atmosféricas estão entre as principais causas de distúrbios nos sistemas elétricos, provocando sobretensões e ocasionando uma parcela significativa das interrupções não programadas. Tais distúrbios são cada vez mais percebidos pelos consumidores, ocasionando desde o mau funcionamento até a queima de aparelhos e equipamentos eletro-eletrônicos residenciais, comerciais e industriais. Antigamente eletromecânicos, tais aparelhos são atualmente, em grande parte, produzidos com componentes semicondutores, o que os torna mais sensíveis a interferências. As descargas atmosféricas também apresentam um agravante de, salvo raras exceções, não serem registradas nos bancos de dados das concessionárias, ao contrário das operações de manobra, faltas e variações de carga na rede de distribuição. Essa situação contribui para os conflitos cada vez mais freqüentes entre consumidores e empresas de energia a respeito dos pedidos de indenização por danos em aparelhos elétricos (PID). Dada a relevância do tema, muitos estudos têm sido realizados ao longo dos últimos anos, sem entretanto esclarecer todos os aspectos necessários para a minimização desses problemas. Neste trabalho são avaliadas as amplitudes e formas de onda das sobretensões transferidas à rede de baixa tensão via transformador quando da ocorrência de surtos no primário. Esses surtos podem ser oriundos de descargas diretas na rede primária ou decorrentes de descargas em suas proximidades. O estudo visa a obtenção de informações tendo em vista a melhoria do desempenho das redes de distribuição e conseqüentemente a minimização dos danos causados aos consumidores. Nas simulações, realizadas através do programa ATP (“Alternative Transients Program"), são consideradas linhas com configurações típicas, bem como modelos de comprovada validade para representação dos isoladores de média e de baixa tensão e do transformador de distribuição. O trabalho analisa a influência, nas sobretensões, de diversos parâmetros, como por exemplo amplitude e forma de onda da corrente da descarga, ponto da incidência da descarga, resistência de terra e presença de dispositivos de proteção contra surtos. Os resultados apresentados constituem-se em importantes subsídios para a definição de critérios de instalação de dispositivos de proteção contra surtos em redes de baixa tensão. / Lightning discharges are among the main causes of disturbances in electrical systems, causing overvoltages and leading to a significant portion of unscheduled interruptions. Such disturbances are increasingly noticed by consumers, causing from malfunction to the burnt-out of electrical-electronic devices and equipment in homes, businesses and industries. Formerly electromechanical, such devices currently are, in their majority, produced with semiconductors, what makes them more sensitive to interferences. Lightning discharges also present the aggravation of not being recorded in power suppliers’ databases, but for seldom exceptions, as opposed to switching operations, failures and charge variations in the distribution network. This situation contributes for the increasingly frequent conflicts among consumers and power companies regarding indemnity claims due to damages to electrical devices. Given the subject’s significance, many studies have been conducted along the past years, not explaining, however, all the aspects required to minimize those problems. On this work, the amplitudes and waveforms of overvoltages on medium and low voltage lines are evaluated upon the incidence of direct discharges on the primary. The voltages transferred to the low voltage side are also evaluated in case of strikes in the vicinity of the line. The study intends to obtain information in order to achieve a performance improvement of distribution networks and, as a consequence, the reduction of damages to consumers to a minimum. In the simulations conducted through ATP (“Alternative Transients Program"), lines with typical configurations are considered and models of proven validity are used to represent the low and medium voltage insulators and the distribution transformer. The work analyses the effect of several parameters on the overvoltages, such as amplitude and waveform of the stroke current, lightning strike point, grounding resistance and existence of surge protective devices. The results presented constitute an important foundation to define the installation criteria of surge protective devices on low voltage networks.

The following work presents a graphical pre-processor software as an alternative version of the Electromagnetic Transients Program (ATP-EMTP). It was developed to aid in the analysis of electromagnetic transients in power substations. The software has been developed using Java programming language and it was named Alternative Transients Program Substation Analysis (ATP-SA). Amongst its functionalities, it can be highlighted the representation of precursory events of electromagnetic transients in the ATP-EMTP standard, data predefinition for the modeling of these events, simulation configuration with compatible values in reference to the transient phenomena to be studied and management simulation through a databank. The transients to be considered are: occurrence and clearance of faults, transformer inrush, Transient Recovery Voltage (TRV) in circuit-breakers, circuit-breaker switching and lightning surges. The software aids in the simulation of transients occurred by these events in both deterministic and stochastic ways. In addition, to show its potentialities, examples of application are presented in a real power system simulations. Hence, with the use of the mentioned software, it is expected to support in subsidies and safety with respect of operations in substations, as well to aid in defect prevention, loss of equipment and potential shutdowns. This work is the main theme of a Research and Development (R&D) project developed by the Laboratory of Analysis and Protection of Power Systems, in the Power System and Energy Research Center, in a partnership along with the State Company of Generation and Transmission of Electric Energy of the Rio Grande do Sul State. / Este trabalho apresenta a implementação de um software pré-processador gráfico para a versão alternativa do ElectroMagnetic Transient Program (ATP-EMTP), desenvolvido para auxiliar a análise de transitórios eletromagnéticos em subestações de potência. Este software, concebido em linguagem de programação Java, recebeu a denominação de Alternative Transients Program Substation Analysis (ATP-SA). Dentre suas funcionalidades, está a representação de eventos precursores de transitórios eletromagnéticos no padrão ATP-EMTP, predefinição de dados para modelagem destes eventos, parametrização da simulação com valores compatíveis com o fenômeno analisado e gerenciamento de simulações através de um banco de dados. Os eventos contemplados pelo software compreendem: ocorrência e eliminação de curtos-circuitos, energização de transformador, Tensão de Restabelecimento Transitória (TRT) em disjuntores, manobras de abertura e fechamento de disjuntores e descargas atmosféricas. O software fornece suporte a simulação de transitórios provocados por estes eventos de forma determinística ou estocástica. Para demonstrar estas potencialidades, abordam-se exemplos aplicados sobre um sistema elétrico real.

With the rapid development of power systems, locating and classifying faults is critical to the continuity and reliability of the transmission system. In this thesis, a traveling-wave based technique for fault location and classification on high voltage and extremely high-voltage transmission lines is proposed. The traveling-wave based protection has the advantage of fast response and not being affected by power swing and CTs saturation. In this thesis, the transient characteristics of single line to ground fault (which can be divided into solid fault and arcing fault) and lightning disturbance are extracted by using Clarke transformation and wavelet transformation. The differences among recorded traveling wave arrival times are used to calculate the fault location, and the wavelet energy at different frequency bands is utilized to distinguish between lightning and different kinds of fault. A criterion is proposed according to the energy ratio. The proposed scheme can identify different faults correctly and quickly. In addition, the influence of busbar capacitance, current transformer and coupling capacitor voltage transformer are considered. The simulation of a transmission system has been made in ATP/EMTP, and the calculations have been made in MATLAB. / Med den snabba utvecklingen av kraftsystem är lokalisering och klassificering av fel avgörande för kontinuiteten och tillförlitligheten hos överföringssystem. I denna avhandling föreslås en vågrörelse-baserad teknik för fellokalisering och klassificering av kraftledningar för högspänning och extremt hög spänning. Vågrörelsebaserat skydd har fördelen av snabb respons och att det inte påverkas av kraft fluktuationer och strömtransformsmättnad. I denna avhandling tas momentana egenskaperna av jord till ledningsfel (vilket kan delas in i stumt jordfel och ljusbågefel) och blixtstörning fram med hjälp av Clarke transformation och wavelet transformation. Skillnaderna mellan de uppmätta vågrörelsernas ankomsttider används för att beräkna fellokalisering och wavelet energin vid olika frekvensband, vilket används för att skilja mellan blixt och olika sorters fel. Ett kriterium föreslås enligt energiförhållandet. Det föreslagna systemet kan identifiera olika sorters fel korrekt och snabbt. Dessutom övervägs påverkan av strömskenans kapacitans, strömtransformator och kopplingskondensatorspänningsomvandlare. Simuleringen av transmissionssystem har gjorts med ATP/EMTP, och beräkningarna är gjorda med MATLAB.

Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία μελετάται η ικανότητα μόνωσης των γραμμών μεταφοράς του ελληνικού δικτύου μεταφοράς και διανομής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας, καθώς και η αντικεραυνική συμπεριφορά τους. Αρχικά, γίνεται μια μικρή ιστορική αναδρομή και παρουσιάζονται κάποια στοιχεία τα οποία αφορούν το ελληνικό σύστημα μεταφοράς. Στη συνέχεια γίνεται μια πιο αναλυτική περιγραφή των γραμμών μεταφοράς, παρουσιάζοντας τις κατηγοριοποιήσεις στις οποίες και υπόκεινται, με κύρια κριτήρια αυτών να είναι η ονομαστική τάση υπό την οποία είναι φορτισμένες, το μήκος, αλλά και την ικανότητά τους στην μεταφορά ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας. Επίσης, γίνεται αναφορά στις καταπονήσεις τις οποίες δέχονται οι γραμμές αλλά και στην μόνωση, όπως και στα χαρακτηριστικά τους. Έπειτα, εξετάζονται οι κεραυνοί και παρατίθεται μια ενδελεχής παρουσίαση των ειδών των κεραυνικών αλλά και των ατμοσφαιρικών εκκενώσεων, προχωρώντας μετά στην αναφορά των κύριων χαρακτηριστικών των κεραυνών, των αποτελεσμάτων τα οποία προκαλούν, αλλά και των παραμέτρων από τις οποίες εξαρτούνται και χαρακτηρίζονται. Πιο κάτω, μπορούμε να δούμε ποια είναι τα κύρια είδη σφαλμάτων στις εναέριες γραμμές μεταφοράς και από ποιά αίτια αυτά προκαλούνται. Το επόμενο κεφάλαιο πραγματεύεται τη μόνωση των γραμμών αλλά και τα πλήγματα από τους κεραυνούς. Πιο αναλυτικά, εξετάζονται οι μηχανισμοί που προκαλούν την παραγωγή υπερτάσεων στις γραμμές, ενώ γίνεται ιδιαίτερη μνεία στο φαινόμενο της ανάστροφης διάσπασης της μόνωσης των γραμμών, καθώς και στα σφάλματα θωράκισης.

Τέλος στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο, υπάρχει μια εκτενής αναφορά στο πρόγραμμα ΑΤΡ-ΕΜΤΡ και τα στοιχεία του καθώς και τα συνεργαζόμενα με αυτό προγράμματα. Αυτό γίνεται γιατί παρουσιάζεται μια προσομοίωση μιας πραγματικής γραμμής του δικτύου της Δ.Ε.Η, της R-37, η οποία βρίσκεται στην περιοχή Λάππα Αχαΐας, με τη χρήση του συγκεκριμένου προγράμματος και κύρια του γραφικού προεπεξεργαστή του, που είναι το πρόγραμμα ATPDraw. Η προσομοίωση αυτή γίνεται για διαφορετικών εντάσεων κεραυνικά ρεύματα τα οποία πλήττουν τον αγωγό προστασίας ή τον αγωγό φάσης της γραμμής σε διάφορα σημεία αυτής, και μελετά τις παραγόμενες εξαιτίας αυτών των κεραυνών υπερτάσεις και το βαθμό επικινδυνότητάς τους για τον παρακείμενο σταθμό διανομής της ιδίας περιοχής. / In this diploma thesis the insulation capability of the transmission lines of the Greek transmission and distribution system of electric energy is studied, as well as their lightning behavior. Initially, there is a little historical background and it is also presented some details concerning the Greek transmission system. Afterwards a more detailed description of the transmission lines, showing the classifications in which they are subject to, with main criteria, the nominal voltage in which they are charged, the length, but also their ability of electricity transmission. Moreover, there is a reference to the stresses in which the lines are subjected to, as well as their insulation level and their characteristics. Next, there is a study about lightnings and it is provided a thorough presentation of the types of lightning and atmospheric discharges, moving afterwards to the reference of the main lightning features, the results that they rise, as well as the parameters that they depend on and described from. Below, we can see what the main types of outages in air transmission lines are and which are the causes that generate them. The next chapter deals with the isolation of lines the, as well as with lightning strokes. More specifically, the mechanisms which cause the overvoltages on transmission lines are described, making a special reference to the backflashover phenomenon on the insulation of the lines, and the proofing outage. Then, in order to determine the position of the line protection conductor, the maximum angle method as well as the electrogeometrical method are presented, while, in order to anticipate the likely number of outages due to backflashover the following two methods are represented : the simple and improved ANACOM method. Finally, the last chapter contains an extented reference to the ATP-EMTP program and its components, as well as its affiliate programs. This is because a simulation of a real line network of the electricity company is represented, the R-37 distribution line, which is located in the region of Lappa Achaia, with the use of this program and mainly its graphic preprocessor, which is the program ATPDraw. This simulation has been done for different intensities of lightning currents, which strike at the protection conductor or the phase conductor of the line at various points on the line and it is also studying overvoltages which are produced due to these lightning currents and the risk rate for the nearby service station, which is located in the same area.

Grandes transmissoras, como Furnas, Chesf e Eletronorte promoveram pesquisas em consórcio com empresas construtoras de linhas e fabricante de ferragens e isoladores, com o objetivo de desenvolverem projetos com baixa relação Reais/MW transmitido. Neste cenário, muitos projetos de linhas de potência natural elevada foram idealizados e implantados, e como fruto desses projetos, publicações foram realizadas descrevendo os resultados obtidos. Todavia, apesar da quantidade, qualidade e riqueza das informações publicadas, a descrição do processo de otimização dos parâmetros elétricos da linha, em especial da impedância característica, não receberam destaque, sendo muita das vezes suprimida nos artigos. Neste sentido, este trabalho propõe a investigação de um método inovador de otimização da capacidade de transmissão de linhas de potência natural elevada, através da análise indireta dos efeitos da variação do posicionamento dos cabos condutores no feixe sobre a impedância característica da linha, por meio de uma abordagem original que utiliza basicamente o vetor de Poynting como função objetivo do Método de Otimização por Enxame de Partículas, sendo os campos elétricos e magnéticos necessários para definição do vetor de Poynting calculados por meio do Método dos Elementos de Contorno. O método foi validado utilizando como exemplos a otimização das configurações de feixes da linha de 500 kV Interligação Norte/SUL III – Trecho 2 e Linha de 500 kV Presidente Dutra / Teresina / Sobral / Fortaleza. Foram encontrados ganhos na capacidade de transmissão de 7% e 22% respectivamente devido à redução da impedância característica calculada após a otimização através da rotina Line Constants do programa ATP/EMTP, e comparando-a com os valores originais. / With the legal opening for private investments in the Brazilian energy sector in the 90's, in particular the systematic implementation of auctions for defining power transmission concessions, several studies were made with the aim of developing transmission line projects in order to compete in these auctions. Major transmission companies such as Furnas, Eletronorte and CHESF promoted consortium research with line builders and hardware and insulators manufacturers, in order to develop projects with low cost/MW transmitted. In this scenario, many projects of high surge-impedance loading lines were developed and implemented, and as a result of these projects, publications were made describing the results. However, despite the quantity, quality and resourcefulness of published information, the descriptions of the optimization process of electrical line parameters, especially regarding characteristic impedance, were not given prominence, being often suppressed from the articles. Thus, this study proposes the investigation of a method for optimizing the transmission capacity of high surge-impedance loading lines, varying the power cables in the bundle, indirectly reducing its characteristic impedance through an original approach that uses basically the Poynting's vector as objective function of the Particle Swarm Optimization method.The electric and magnetic fields needed for defining the Poynting vector were calculated using the Boundary Element Method. The method was validated through the optimization of bundle configuration, using as a model the characteristics of the 500 kV line North / South Interconnection III - Segment 2 and the 500 kV line Presidente Dutra / Teresina / Sobral / Fortaleza. It was found transmission capacity gains of 7% and 22% respectively, by reducing the characteristic impedance, which was calculated after the optimization using the EMTP/ATP Line Constants Program, comparing it with the original values.

Σκοπός της εργασίας είναι η μελέτη της συμπεριφοράς απαγωγέων υπέρτασης στις γραμμές μεταφοράς υψηλής τάσης όταν αυτές καταπονούνται από κεραυνικά πλήγματα.

Ce travail de thèse porte sur l'étude de la propagation des courants porteurs en ligne dans le réseau de distribution d'énergie électrique. Pour simuler les phénomènes, des modèles HF des éléments ont été élaborés, principalement pour le transformateur MT/BT. Une grande partie est constituée par l'identification en HF du transformateur de puissance MT/BT, élément majeur et complexe du réseau de distribution. Après une étude bibliographique des modèles du transformateur en HF, nous avons réalisé de nombreuses mesures externes sur deux transformateurs réels 20/0,4 kV de moyenne puissance afin d'obtenir leurs impédances de transfert dans la gamme 100Hz – 10MHz. Des schémas équivalents ont été proposés, un en MF et un autre en HF. Les mesures et les méthodes nécessaires pour déterminer les caractéristiques de transfert de signaux MF-HF à travers le transformateur ont été synthétisées et présentées. Afin de valider ces modèles, les caractéristiques de transfert de signaux à travers le transformateur sont mesurées et puis comparées avec des simulations. Ensuite, les modèles HF des autres éléments principaux rencontrés dans le réseau de distribution sont analysés. Finalement, nous avons mis en oeuvre l'ensemble des modèles pour simuler avec ATP/EMTP la propagation des signaux HF dans un réseau de distribution réel. Plusieurs schémas sont exploités afin de rechercher les paramètres topologiques qui influent sur la qualité de transmission des CPL.

This model will be incorporated into the model of a high-voltage line double circuit 400kV, to calculate the induced transients in adjacent aboveground pipeline hydrocarbons. These goals are achieved by modeling real pillars and lines of Greek transport system and overground pipeline hydrocarbons. The simulation is implemented through the ATP-EMTP. The model Volt-Time Curve is used for the modeling of the insulator. Also, two types of lightning are used for the simulations, for fast and slow signal, with current values 100kA. For fast signal, the prices of front and tail time are 1.2 / 50ms and for slow signal 10 / 350ms. In this thesis there are 8 chapters. In the first five chapters was a quote and information theoretical approach to all individual parts that make up the overall layout of the study. The 5 chapter is a detailed reference to the ATP-EMTP program which performed the simulation. The 6 chapter is the modeling of all elements of the layout and the incorporation into the ATP-EMTP. In chapter 7 we present the model of the insulator developed and in chapter 8 we present the simulation results and draw inferences about the layout.
