STANDARD PARAMETER OF 800 KV CLASS TRANSMIISSION SYSTEM IN INDIA

PREFACE

Earlier in the year 1990 Central Electricity Authority (CEA) brought out a report detailing parameters of the 800 kV class equipment and transmission line material based on the recommendations of Working Groups constituted following the decision of Government of India to select 800 kV (with 765 kV as the nominal voltage) as the next higher AC Transmission voltage in the country. Following this, a good number of lines were identified at this voltage. Though some of these lines have been installed maintaining 800 kV class parameters, they are being operated at 400 kV level for want of adequate power development. Accordingly associated substations continue to be at      400 kV level.

But with the initiative taken to have electricity for all by the year 2012, coinciding with the end of 11th five-year plan, now it is a near-reality to charge the above mentioned lines at 765 kV and construct few more intra-regional and inter-regional lines at that level with a dozen or so number of substations. Keeping this in mind and the progress that has been further made and as experienced in few countries that have this class of transmission system, it was felt necessary to revive the Standing EHV Committee of CEA with representations from leading power utilities and manufacturers in the country. As per order of Ministry of Power it was reconstituted in the year 2000. A few meetings took place for revising the salient parameters of 800 kV class of equipment and transmission material and reviewing those for 400 kV level through separate groups. The present report is an outcome of the deliberations in the meetings and inputs received from the members concerned. It is expected that the contents would serve power utilities as the basis of design and engineering of 800 kV transmission system in the country.

BASIC SYSTEM PARAMETERS OF 800 KV SYSTEMS

1.    Rated voltage                                             kV    :    800

2.    Nominal Voltage                                        kV   :    765

3.    Rated frequency                                         Hz   :    50

4.   System Neutral Earthing                                    :   Effectively earthed

5.    Rated current                                             A     :    2000

6.    Short circuit current and duration              kA   :    40 for one second

7.   Creepage distance                        

Pollution site severity

Specific creepage distance mm/kV*

Low

16

Medium

20

Heavy

25

Very Heavy

31

* These are the values suggested in IEC- 815, 1986, which is applicable to System Voltage of up to 525kV. As the pollution withstand characteristics is known to be non-linear for higher voltages, requiring increased creepage distance in proportion to the non-linearity factor.  Studies by ENEL, EPRI, CIGRE suggest that this factor may be as high as 20% for 800 kV System.  Hence creepage distances presented in the Table are to be appropriately increased.  Further, these values may not be suitable for station insulation since the influence of diameter is considerable on the pollution performance.
