As following of the switching transient phenomena in Electric Power System appear several distrbances, sometimes very dangeros for the electrical eqipment life, for the environment and for the hman life. Switching transient phenomena prodce in Power Systems overvoltages, overcrrents and electrical fields, which haven t to neglect. Ths was modelling and simlated the switching transient phenomena, conseqently the electric fields and the possible negative inflence abot electrical eqipment, environment and hman life. The simlation was performed sing the EMTD/PSAD software package, to obtain the transient overvoltages in the transmission line and in the bsbars. These compter programs present an efficient graphical ser interface integrated with a time domain integration tool, which can be sed sccessflly to simlate power system transients, inclding network control devices. It provides fast, accrate and flexible soltions, by applying the integration trapezoidal rle to solve the mathematical models. Also, the Math-AD Program evalates the electrical fields. After were analysed comparatively these reslts. The electrical field was calclated sing the IGE eqivalent charge model. The proposed simlation is applied for an nload transmission line connected between KEPEZ and YATAGAN in 38 kv Trkish National Power Transmission Systems, also for a 4 kv nloaded line in omanian Network. Key-Words: - Transient phenomena, power systems, high voltages, distrbances, electrical fields. Introdction The voltage stress in the switching devices depends on the network configration [-7]. Usally, the electromagnetic transient simlations are performed considering the nloaded line switching, also capacitor bank switching on the middle voltage part, sing the circit breakers [8-]. The most common approach is to se the T-model (the Freqency-Dependent model), which shold be considered in transient stdies in order to obtain accrate reslts. The T-model of line is based on the travelling wave s formlation, with the voltage distrbances reflecting the delay fnction and the waveshape attenation. This paper is devoted to the evalation of the transient recovery voltages, the overvoltages on each phases and the electrical field as a reslt of the nloaded line switching for different lengths of line. In this way, seven different length vales for the nloaded line were assmed. Analytical approach The analysis of transient phenomena at the nloaded line switching can be made analytically by sing the following mono-phase schematic circit proposed by [3, 4] (Fig. ). Fig..

The growing speed of dielectric rigidity (U d = f (t)) and the raise of the transient recovery voltage (U r = f (t)), play also a very important role in this process [3-7]. 3 Application example In order to analyse the transient overvoltages at disconnecting of an nloaded line in a 38 kv Electric Power System the model from figre 4 has been stdied. This model was evalated sing the EMTD/PSAD software package. The 38 kv High Voltage Line of the Power Systems (fig.4) presents for analysis: the voltage generators; the transformer; the transmission line modelling by T-Line Model (Freqency-Dependent Model); the bsbar, the branch of capacitor bank, connected on generator, the circit breakers for the line and capacitor bank switching. The transient phenomena were simlated with the circit breaker on close position, followed by a disconnecting operation. The st time was.5 [sec] and the nd time was 3 [sec]. For capacitor bank it was assmed discrete capacitance vales from 3 μf ntil 5 μf with a step of μf, considering a star connection. ISSN: 79-57 3 ISBN: 978-96-474-6-

Analysing the reslts obtained concerning the intensity of electrical field, there is noticed that the maximm intensity of electrical field, nder the line, at grond level, appears at the maximal line length. These are:.4 kv/m for the crossing of the National Highway and 9.6 kv/m at the crossing of the National ailway. omparative with the limits recommended by the IGE and IEEE International norms [], these vales overtake the admissible limit [, 5]. Between the reslts obtained by modelling and simlation in PSAD and in Math-AD Programs significant differences don t appear. Generally, the vales obtained for the electrical fields are over the admissible limit, which were recommended of the International Norms [,5]. 5 Experiments on an nloaded line in omanian network In a 4 kv sbstation from omania were performed tests and measrements for following switching cases [9,]: a) nloaded disconnection line with trigger command of the circit-breaker from sbstation. b) nloaded connection of long line with breaking implse transmission to the circit-breaker from sbstation with remote protection from sbstation Line characteristics were the following: line length: 57.5 km steel-alminim condctor 45/75 mm 4 kv/6 A minimm oil circit-breaker Tests and measrements were necessary to establish the switching overvoltage level that appears at nloaded line connection and disconnection and to check the operating level of the maximal voltage protection de to the voltage growth at the end of the line. In case a) six tests with trigger command of the 4 kv/6 A minimm oil circit-breaker were performed in 4 kv sbstation, the command being given for different moments in the voltage reference crve with respect of the crrent passing trogh zero. In this way a half period was swept simlating the real exploitation conditions. In order to determine the switching overvoltages that appear in case b) of nloaded lines connection, three closing commands of the circit-breaker in sbstation with different moments by remote protection with different moments of the crrent connection were performed. Principle diagram of measring and command from Sbstation is presented in Figre 4.

Therefore, the electrical fields, in last days, are the concerning for many specialists, thanks to their negative effect abot eqipment, environment and life [, 5, 7, and ]. - De to the nloaded line switching in Power Systems, big overvoltages (transient recovery voltages, 3.8 [p..]; phase overvoltages,.59 [p..] appear, which all generate the electrical fields, with negative impact in Power Systems and arond Environment. - The reslts obtained for modelling and simlation are in according with theoretical soltions (.58 %). - The reslt obtained for the maximal electrical fields de to a 38 kv nloaded line switching in Power Systems from Trkey, nder line at gronded level (9.46 kv/m, at the crossing of the National Highway and 4.9 kv/m, at the crossing of the National ailway), show that they overtake the admissible limits recommended by the IGE and IEEE International norms [,5]. - Therefore it is necessary to make investigations and to impose the limited methods. P - Experiments on a 4 kv nloaded line in omanian network shown that the switching overvoltages did not overrn the maximm admissible vales so there is not necessary to limit them.
