Importance of Transient Studies in Large Electrical Systems
Large electrical systems are often exposed to complex transient phenomena from various operational scenarios. In a case involving a District Cooling Plant (DCP), a comprehensive transient analysis was conducted to assess the system’s insulation performance and resilience against disturbances.
Problem Statement
1. Insulation breakdown in transformers and switchgear
2. Short circuits, overheating, and fuse failures
3. Equipment malfunction or damage due to lightning surges
4. Increased maintenance costs and safety risks
