28 1. Fire protection: Urban substation: key concerns Objective: limit the effect of a fire in the substation building (explosion of power transformer) to protect the neighborhood Mitigation technique: use of very specific fire protection devices (on-site water tank, temperature/pressure sensors, fire-resistant walls ) 2. Noice cancellation: Objective: limit the sound emitted by the substation (cooling of power transformer) that troubles neighbours Mitigation technique: use of sound trap and antivibration plots 3. ElectroMagnetic Field: Objective: do not exceed the legal limit of 100 µt (High current circulating in the MV cables) outside the building Mitigation technique: move away those cables in the layout, use of reduced EMF laying 28

36 SEINE substation : a key component of the Nord of Ile-de-France power supply An area of influence on the 225 kv loop surrounding Paris: inhabitants of Seine Saint Denis region and Paris (1st, 2nd, 9th et 18th arr.) Stade de France SNCF (TGV Nord, North suburbs ) Seine substation RATP (1/4 of subways and RER) Global cost of the projet : 75 M 36

39 Seine substation : Gas Insulated Substation The Gas Insulated Substation technology (GIS) RTE owns approx. 120 GIS (20 new S/S in the next 5 years). The first S/Ss built in 1969 are still in service The substation surface area is significantly reduced (1/10 of the equivalent AIS) SEINE was manufactured by SIEMENS Grenoble in 2009/2010 Equipped with digital SF6 monitoring 39

49 4. Introduction to underground lines design 49

50 Underground cable Outer semi-conductive layers (sheath test after laying) Outer and inner semiconductive layers (avoid point effect in the electric field) Outer sheath (PE) Metal screen (short-circuit current) Insulation (XLPE) Core conductor (current flow) 50

51 Cable laying Cables laid in plastic pipes to reduce disturbances from the civil works Cables laid: in PEHD pipes in the ground (on the left) or in PVC pipes embedded in concrete (on the right) Challenge: -Fault containment -Heat dissipation -Magnetic field 51

52 Cable design When current flows through the core conductor, losses lead to temperature rise in the cable. The limitation comes from the XLPE insulation which can withstand a maximum 60 C. Losses are due to: Joule losses in the core conductor (current flow) Dielectric losses in the insulation (not an ideal insulation) Joule losses in the metal screen (in case of induced current) The underground line rating comes from the capacity of the cable and its environment to dissipate heat. As a result it becomes paramount to take also into consideration the ground drying out, which affects the ground heat conductivity and can lead to cable fault. 52

53 Heat dissipation Joules losses in the metal screen Dielectric losses Joules losses in the core conductor Heat dissipation through the ground 53

54 Main factors for thermal design of the cable Core conductor size. Ground characteristics. Current circulation in the metal screen. Laying method (distance between cables, laying depth, ). Weather conditions. Heat sources in the ground. 54

55 Cable bonding When current flows through the core conductor, it induces voltage in the metal screen. This induced voltage must be controlled in order to protect people and equipments. First solution: direct grounding at both cable ends. Core Sheath Termination Direct grounding Problem: current circulation reduces the cable rating. This solution is adapted for low rating lines (under 600A). 55

56 Cable bonding Second solution: single point grounding (at one end or middle point). Result: no current in the screen but voltage build-up at one cable end. Surge arresters to protect the cable sheath Parafoudres de gaine Conducteur de terre isolé Insulated ground cable Problem: voltage limited to 400V in normal operation, thus limited to short lines (a few kilometres only). 56

57 Cable bonding Third solution: cross-bonding. Result: similar to direct grounding, but the screen cross-bonding erases the current circulation in the metal screen. Screeninterruption Sheath Core Surge arresters X-bonding pits Problem: more expensive (need for screen interruption joints protected by surge arresters). 57

58 Cable bonding Third solution: cross-bonding. Induced voltage in the metal screens. A B L U 0 L 2L 3L The maximum length L is defined according to the voltage withstand by the screen interruption joints. 58
