- Researchers
- Operators and power system engineers
Why should you use PD IEC TS 63042-101‒ UHV AC transmission system?
The objective of UHV AC power system design is to achieve both economic efficiency and high reliability, considering its impact on systems at lower voltages such as 420 kV and 550 kV. But long transmission lines, in particular, generate a large amount of charging reactive power (Mvar) that could cause the system voltage to rise significantly.
PD IEC TS 63042-101 provides technical specifications on insulation design and coordination, reactive power compensation design, and voltage regulation that are essential for maintaining UHV AC transmission systems so that they operate safely and efficiently.
PD IEC TS 63042-101 on voltage regulation and insulation design explains how reactive power compensation is implemented to ensure that the UHV AC system operates within an adequate voltage range under normal conditions and any contingency conditions that the system is designed to withstand.
PD IEC TS 63042-101 also elaborates an effective insulation design that limits internal electric field stress for minimizing and optimizing the size and structure of UHV AC transmission lines and substation apparatus.
