Detta examensarbete är utfört på uppdrag av Rejlers Ingenjörer i Göteborg. Syftet med arbetet är att genom en projektering övergripande presentera utförandet, komponenter, funktioner, ekonomi och situationsplaner för två förslag på stationsutformningar i samband med en ombyggnation och utvidgning av en transformatorstation. Transformatorstationen har i nuläget två spänningsnivåer på 40 kV och 10 kV. I samband med ombyggnationen skall stationen kompletteras med ytterligare en spänningsnivå på 20 kV, för anslutning av ett antal vindkraftverk. För att anläggningen skall uppfylla grundläggande krav, utförs projekteringen genom att sortera och sammanställa relevant information från gällande föreskrifter, standarder och tekniska riktlinjer. Vidare inhämtas ytterligare information från litteratur, kataloger, produktblad och muntlig kontakt med uppdragsgivaren. I arbetet presenteras två förslag på stationsutformningar i enlighet med syftet. Stationens högspänningsapparater dimensioneras och presenteras, och dess reläskyddsfunktioner identifieras. I båda alternativen är transformatorerna placerade utomhus med en stationsbyggnad som rymmer 10 kV-, 20 kV-ställverket, ett batterirum och ett kontrollrum. Skillnaden mellan alternativen ligger främst i att ett av alternativen har ett utomhusbyggt luftisolerat 40 kV-ställverk medan det andra alternativet har ett kompaktare inomhusbyggt luftisolerat 40 kV-ställverk. Den totalt beräknade kostnaden, inklusive drift- och underhållskostnader, under en 25-årsperiod beräknas uppgå till 22,7 Mkr för utomhusalternativet och 22,4 Mkr för inomhusalternativet. Skillnaden mellan alternativen förväntas stiga till inomhusalternativets fördel, om även samhällskostnader vid avbrott vägs in i kalkylen. Rekommendationen är att transformatorstationen uppförs enligt inomhusalternativet, eftersom detta torde anses ge bäst totalekonomi, driftsäkerhet och skydd mot obehörigt tillträde. / This bachelor´s thesis is carried out on behalf of Rejlers Ingenjörer in Gothenburg. The work aims to overall present the realization of two station design proposals, including components, functions, financial aspects and plans, in connection with a reconstruction and expansion of a substation. The substation currently has two voltage levels of 40 kV and 10 kV. In connection with the reconstruction, the station is supplemented by a further voltage level of 20 kV, for connection of a number of wind turbines. For the installation to meet basic requirements, the work is performed by sorting and putting together relevant information from applicable regulations, standards and technical guidelines. Further information is obtained through additional information from literature, catalogues, product sheets and verbal contact with the job requestor. In the thesis the two station design proposals are presented in compliance with the aim. The high voltage equipment is dimensioned and presented, and the relay protection functions are identified. In both options, the transformers are located outdoors with a station building that houses 10 kV, 20 kV switchgear, a battery room and a control room. The main difference between the alternatives is that one of the options has an outdoor air insulated 40 kV switchgear, while the second one has a more compact indoor air insulated switchgear. The total estimated cost, including operation and maintenance costs, over a 25-year period is estimated at 22.7 million Swedish kronor for the outdoor option and 22.4 million Swedish kronor for the indoor alternative. The difference in costs is expected to rise to the advantage of the indoor option if social costs during a power failure also are taken into account in the calculation. It is recommended that the substation be built according to the indoor option, since this is considered to provide the best overall economy, safety of operation and protection against unauthorized access.

Master’s thesis deals with the optimization of partial discharges in switchgears ABB UniGear 500R and ABB UniGear 550 for 17,5 kV voltage level. It contains a description of the measurement method of partial discharges in metal enclosed medium voltage switchgears, analysis of the places where it may lead to formation of partial discharges and project of optimization of partial discharges in switchgears ABB UniGear 500R and ABB UniGear 550 for 17,5 kV voltage level.

Sulphur hexafluoride gas is the dominant insulation and interruption material in high voltage gas insulated substation. Its usage remains a concern of transmission system operators owing to the global warming potential of the gas. The work carried out in this thesis aims to find the environment-friendly materials that can replace SF6. These candidates are required to have a strong dielectric strength for high voltage busbar insulation and well arc extinguishing capability necessary for high voltage circuit breaker.A range of alternative insulation types including CF3I gas and its mixture, high pressure air and solid insulating foam are considered as substitute of SF6. Theoretical studies on the dimensions of busbars used in substations are carried out for these options. The dimension of the dielectric system and its ampacity of respect system are calculated using heat transfer models considering their boiling point and proper working pressure which is related with the dielectric strength of some gas.On the other hand, SF6 gas circuit breaker is extremely popular on the medium and high voltage power networks owning to its effective arc extinguishing performance. It would be ideal if a substitute material could be found for SF6 as an interruption material. Biodegradable oil PTFE ablation, other gas candidates including N2, CF3I are investigated as possible replacement of SF6 through literature study.The usage of vacuum circuit breaker is eventually capable to operate in high voltage transmission system. Simulations have been carried out with software ATP/EMTP to investigate the influence of different characteristics of vacuum circuit breaker including chopping current level, the dielectric strength of vacuum gap and the opening time. And then the probability of overvoltages when vacuum circuit breakers installed is studied by statistical study in MATLAB.
