Analysis of Coupled Structural Responses of Circuit and Equipment in Converter Substation Under Seismic Action
The impact of seismic action on ultra-high voltage (UHV) converter station equipment is significant. The coupling effect of equipment can greatly change their seismic response characteristics due to the connection between equipment via through busbar and other parts. The typical AC filter circuit in a UHV converter station is taken as an example
a refined finite element model is set up to perform the modal analysis for the dynamic characteristics of the coupled circuit and seismic time-history analysis. The coupling response characteristics of equipment and busbar under different seismic excitation are explored. The study shows that
compared to the individual equipment
the equipment in the coupled circuit exhibits different dynamic behaviors
and the coupling effect has significant influence on the displacement and stress responses of the equipment. The displacement and stress response of some such key components as capacitors and circuit breakers is bigger. Based on the analysis result
a specific seismic design recommen-dations are proposed in this paper so to mitigate the adverse influence of coupling effect and enhance the seismic performance and safety of equipment of converter station.
