Simulation of Restrike Overvoltage Due to Switching off Shunt Capacitor Bank
Shunt capacitor banks are widely used in power grid for reactive power compensation.However
the operating overvoltage caused by frequent operation of shunt capacitor bank would damage the insulated equipment and decrease the reliability of power system.The operation overvoltage on shunt capacitor bank is mainly referred to the restrike in switching-off action
while switching-on action usually does not generate the overvoltage which harms capacitor’s insulation.In this paper
a model is designed by adding a normal closed breaker for simulating the overvoltage due to switching off shunt capacitor bank by a vacuum circuit breaker
and the restrike overvoltage is calculated with the model.Moreover
the effect of limiting restrike overvoltage on shunt capacitor bank by using an MOA arrester is simulated.Simulation results show the proposed method is feasible.
