The Activities of A Typical GIS Project Start

This document provides guidance on specifying gas insulated switchgear (GIS) for a substation project. It discusses several key steps: 1) creating a detailed one-line diagram specifying GIS components like earthing switches and instrument transformers to optimize the design; 2) considering site conditions and space requirements; 3) defining primary equipment specifications and secondary components; and 4) performing engineering studies on overvoltages, seismic requirements, and maintenance needs. Internal and external interlocking mechanisms are also outlined to ensure safe and reliable operation of the GIS equipment.

HOW TO SPECIFY A GIS (GAS INSULATED SWITCHGEAR)

The activities of a typical GIS project start with the network planning performed by the system engineers. It is
therefore important that the system planning engineers possess a certain minimum knowledge of GIS to be able to
utilize the benefits of this technology.

To install a GIS substation is a complex project which involves many engineering disciplines. It is important to have
in mind that the engineering processes of technical projects in their nature have feedback loops. This means that
during the planning process new information which will have consequences for the complete project may come up
at any stage and make it necessary to review or change parts of the project.

It is the aim of our support to give assistance in technical questions concerning GIS as well as to provide
information for a successful execution of all stages of a GIS project. It is not necessarily in the scope to handle with
commercial or legal questions related to such projects.

When a substation is planned or at least to perform studies for one, an important question is which technology to
use. There may be different arguments pro and contra for the different possibilities. It may be of some help to
perform Life Cycle Cost studies for the different alternatives. Modern GIS can be expected to perform satisfactorily
in service for many years with minimal or even no maintenance.

When it has been decided to build a GIS substation, the question of how to organize the project comes up. This
depends on whether the user has an experienced engineering staff. If not he may have to engage a consulting
company. Or he will maybe prefer to order a turn-key installation, directly from a GIS manufacturer or via a
contracting company.

The following procedure is recommended:


Detailed One Line Diagram
The first study to be performed is a detailed study for a more definitive single- line diagram. This should include
special demands linked with GIS technology, e.g. the use of earthing switches, instrument transformers, surge
arresters etc.. It makes sense to use the advantages of the compactness and the functionality of a GIS with the
corresponding single line diagram in order to optimize this solution.

Site Conditions (Restrictions, Limitations)


The land area required for a GIS substation is in the region of about 10 to 30 % of that for an AIS substation,
considering the switchgear only. The saving in overall land area depends very much upon the specific voltage
level and the connection to transformers, reactors and incoming/outgoing lines. Maximum savings are achieved by
cable connections and short-length GIS connections.

Primary Equipment Technical Requirements and Data


Secondary Equipment Technical Requirements and Data
Secondary equipment, such as control, protection, diagnostics and monitoring equipment.

Engineering Studies (as appropriate)


When the preliminary configuration and the main data are determined, further studies should be performed as:

-- Over voltages, insulation coordination studies.


-- Electromagnetic compatibility
-- Seismic Requirements
-- Maintenance and Operation Requirements
-- Even not being in the main focus for GIS, maintenance in general is a required action on switchgear in order to --
-- sustains the availability of the equipment.

ali sepehri • this s some spec about interlocks in gis system :

Panel-internal interlocking:
The combination of three-position switch, disconnector and circuit-breaker must meet the following panel-internal
interlock conditions:
--To prevent the disconnector from switching under load, the three-position switch and disconnector may only
be actuated with the circuit-breaker open. (Exception: bus transfer)
--Three-position switch and disconnector are mutually interlocked so that only one can be closed. If one switching
device is in the intermediate (fault position), the other cannot be actuated.
--If the three-position switch is in the "ready-to-earth" position, the dis-connector must not be actuated.
--The three-position switch may only be brought into the ready-to-earth position if the disconnector and
Circuit-breaker are open.
--The three-position switch must be prevented from switching through from the CLOSED state into the
"ready-to-earth" state.
--Closing of the circuit-breaker is blocked for as long as the three-position switch and the disconnector
have not reached a definite final position.

All internal panel interlocks have to be mechanical. In bus bar sectionalizes, electromagnetic interlocks are also
permitted. If the auxiliary voltage fails, an interlocked emergency operation of the feeder must be possible. This
does not apply to panels with electromagnetic interlocks.
For earthing of the feeder, reliable "interrogation interlocking" must be provided: Only after the three-position
switch has been switched into the "ready-to-earth" position may the feeder be earthed in a short-circuit-proof way
by switching in the circuit-breaker.
The feeder earthing must be protected against "disconnection from earth":
* The remote control and protective tripping facility of the circuit-breaker must automatically become ineffective as
soon as the three-position switch is switched into the "ready-to-earth" position.
* It must be possible to lock the local mechanical tripping by blocking the tripping mechanism mechanically.

External interlocking
* With the coupling switched on, a second bus bar disconnector in the feeder can be closed; thereafter one of the
two devices can be opened. (Bus transfer under load).
The disconnector remaining in the CLOSED position is again interlocked in relation to the closed circuit-breaker as
soon as the other dis¬connector is actuated in the OPEN direction.
* The circuit-breaker of the bus coupling may only be opened if in none of the feeders there is more than one
bursar disconnector closed and no other is in the fault position. (Tie switch opening lockout).
* One of the two three-position switches of a coupling may only be switched into the "ready-to-earth" state when

the other is closed as a bus bar dis¬connector and in the relevant bus bar section there is no other bus bar
disconnector closed. (Make-proof earthing of the bus bar via the circuit-breaker of a coupling).
