9 Dynamic Line rating Line rating depends on ambient temperature conductor clearance to ground wind speed and direction solar radiation, etc. Having static line ratings lead to under-utilization of line (though the winds safely permit) Small weather changes greatly impact ampacity Page #9

10 Significance of Dynamic Line rating Page #10

11 How does it Work?» Remote sensing of transmission line tension/sag is carried out by the monitoring systems and this signal is sent to the utility s SCADA or EMS.» Based on this data, continuous updation of the Tr. Lines varying ampacity is done.» Thereby its rating updated. Page #11

12 Dynamic Line rating - Example Case study: Consider a 20-mile ACSR transmission line with a static line rating of 787 amperes at 40 degrees, zero wind, and mid-day summer Underutilization of transmission lines can be addressed by Dynamic Line Rating Page #12

21 HTLS Case Studies 1. In 2012, Sterlite collaborated with CTC Cable Corporation to re-conductor an existing 132 kv line in Ahmedabad. The new line with ACCC conductor has doubled the capacity of the existing transmission line, without modifying or reinforcing the existing lattice towers. 2. Reconductoring was done on 132 kv transmission lines between Pirana and Vinzol, Gujarat, for Torrent Power in Gujarat. 3. Israel Electric Corp (IEC) also upgraded a major part of its transmission network to HTLS conductors, increasing the circuit s capacity by an additional 40% to 50%.

23 Reactive power based challenges Increasingly diversified generation sources (renewables and gas turbines) are changing the power systems in both system topologies and operation strategies. This lead to higher pressure for optimization of various VAR sources, esp. dynamic ones. The value of future reactive power resources are critical to utility planners. Page #23

24 Objective Evaluating integrated volt Var systems, to mitigate the voltage related problems. Page #24

27 SVC Location in Indian Grid- Kanpur Courtesy ABB Document Two static var compensators (SVC), each rated at 140 Mvar inductive to 140 Mvar capacitive supplied by ABB were commissioned in 1992 in the Kanpur 400 kv substation of the Power Grid Corporation of India in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The compensators were installed on a turn-key basis. The two SVCs have enabled a considerable increase of the active power transmission capability of the Northern Regional grid and help to maintain a stable 400 kv voltage in the Kanpur area especially under peak load conditions, which used to be a difficult problem.

33 Technical HVDC advantages The HVDC power flow is fully controllable, fast and accurate. An HVDC link is asynchronous and can adapt to any rated voltage and frequency at reception. The HVDC link can be used to assist the AC networks at each end of the link HVDC links do not increase the systems short circuit level and fault cannot transfer across HVDC interconnected systems. Page #33

34 Technical HVDC advantages contd.. HVDC can transport economically and efficiently over longer distance than AC lines or cables and, in a fixed corridor, HVDC transmission systems provide increased capacity. Large HVDC schemes can be used for bulk power transfer from remote areas (5000 MW MW). HVDC is more economical than HVAC for schemes with transmission distances more than 700 km. Source: Page #34
