Abstract

Lightning strike is the major factor that leads to overvoltage and equipment failure in electrical power system. Thus, insulation coordination is an essential part of power system studies and was used to detennine the performance of a transmission line or substation. This project generalizes the modelling of 132kV transmission line design for the purpose of backflashover simulation using the power system simulation tools that is Power System Computer Aided Design (PSCAD) software. Sample of transmission line data was taken from Tenaga National Berhad (TNB) for the purpose of simulation using PSCAD software .Crucial part of the studies include the model of transmission line components such as insulator coordination, tower model, tower footing model and surge arrester. This research will focus on the effect of different position of transmission line surge arrester placement at transmission line to the value of backflashover rate. A model of surge arrester is implemented in PSCAD simulation across the line insulation, to prevent flashover. The capabilities of arrester are investigated so that the proper arrester rating can be selected for any system requirement. In addition, extensive analysis on the placement of surge arrester at the substation and the prediction of probability of transformer damage are also presented. Results were analyzed and the influence of transmission line surge arrester placement to backflashover rate at transmission line and the probability of transformer damage at substation were discussed. The results will be discussed based on literature review and previous findings obtained by other researchers. Findings from this project can be a significant modelling guideline to the transmission line designers or other researchers to improve the performance of overhead transmission line in term of backflashover rate and probability of transformer damage at substation.
