Investigating the Impacts of ±800 k V Tian-Zhong HVDC Project on Transformer DC Magnetic Bias in Hami Power Grid via Simulation and Measurement
The ±800 k V Tian-Zhong HVDC project was put into operation in 2013
and its Tianshan converter station is located in the centralized substation area of Hami electric grid
where grounding pole location is rather special. To investigate the impacts of the ±800 k V Tian-Zhong HVDC project on transformer DC magnetic bias in Hami power grid
the calculation software of AC power grid DC current distribution was employed to analyze the DC current distribution of the transformer in Hami power grid by means of simulation. And the multi-point measurement of the transformer DC magnetic bias in Hami power grid
where the Tianshan DC converter station is located in
was conducted. Simulation shows that when the Tian-Zhong HVDC project operated with high power in monopole earth mode
the DC current at the neutral point of the neutral-grounded 220 V transformer nearer to the Tianshan DC converter station got larger. The simulation results coincide with the measured ones. This situation harms the safe operation of the main transformer with magnetic bias current. Subsequently
a DC magnetic bias suppression device was added to the main transformer with large neutral DC current
hence the DC magnetic bias current was greatly reduced.
