Highly sensitive sensors for GIS health checks Extending the life of ageing gas-insulated substations (GIS) requires precise data on their dielectric health from partial discharge monitoring. But the physical and electromagnetic environment is challenging for sensor design.

4 mins readFeb 02, 2019Service Life of GIS Substation: The service life of GIS using the construction described above has been shown by experience to be more than 30 years. The condition of GIS examined after many years in service does not indicate any approaching limit in service life. Experience also shows no need for periodic internal inspection or maintenance.

A gas insulated substation (GIS) is a high voltage substation in which the major conducting structures are contained within a sealed environment with a dielectric gas known as SF6, or sulfur hexafluoride gas as the insulating medium.

A gas insulated substation (GIS) is a high voltage substation in which the major structures are contained in a sealed environment with sulfur hexafluoride gas as the insulating medium. The clearance required for phase to phase and phase to ground for all equipment is much lower than that required in an air insulated substation.

Expanding substation in challenging areas: RTE successfully experiments a HV GIS E-house solution. RTE, the French grid operator, has expanded an indoor 63KV substation located in a residential area of the French Riviera. The challenge was to fit it into a very limited space and avoid disturbing the neighborhood with heavy civil works.

Feb 01, 2014The GIS is highly reliable system, free of environmental Hazards. Although gas-insulated substations (GIS) have different specifications in proportion to air-insulated substations, transformer failures related to lightning and switching are often reported in the gas insulated substation (GIS).

Oct 26, 2015• A gas insulated substation (GIS) is a high voltage substation in which the major structures are contained in a sealed environment with sulfur hexafluoride gas as the insulating medium. GIS technology originated in Japan, where there was a substantial need to develop technology to make substations as compact as possible.

Today, the expected service life of a GIS is approx. 35 – 50 years [4]. For installations with such a for a small GIS substation with 5 bays, the corresponding dielectric failures rates would be 0.28 to The detectability of PD defects in GIS is highly dependent on the type of defect and its specific location the radio frequency (RF

The Kildare-Meath Grid Upgrade will add or upgrade a high-capacity electricity connection between Dunstown substation in Kildare and Woodland substation in Meath. The upgrade will help to more effectively transfer power to the east of the country and distribute it within the electricity network in Meath, Kildare and surrounding counties.

LEAK DETECTION IN ENCLOSED GIS SUBSTATIONS The Challenge Direct leak detection in enclosed GIS substation requires highly sensitive and reliable SF 6 gas detection. GIS insulated switchgear require specific operation maintenance procedures to prevent and limit the emissions of the insulating gas (SF 6 – sulfur hexafluoride), which is
