Research on the Application of Multi-Physics Field Coupling Simulation in the Analysis of Temperature Field of 500kv GIS Circuit Breaker

Abstract

Gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is a crucial part of any electrical infrastructure. Overheating the conductor on the GIS busbar would reduce the effectiveness of the insulating gas and shorten the life of the device. We then maximize output by fine-tuning the busbar's rotation angle, central distance, and conductor thickness. Dependable electrical systems always include gas insulated transmission lines (GIL) and gas insulated switchgear (GIS). Because of their reduced total cost and greater efficiency in terms of both space use and power transmission, GILs are gradually replacing conventional overhead lines for long-distance, high-power transmission. The reliability of GIL performance and the ease with which designs can be optimized necessitates research into their power loss and temperature profiles. The study found that the maximum temperature and power loss variances were approximately 70% attributable to differences in conductor thickness. By employing the aforementioned combination method (A1, B5, C5), energy consumption and thermal load in the GIS can be reduced. The research also shows that SF6 gas retains its outstanding insulating capacity after undergoing structural optimization. The calculation of the gas breakdown margin demonstrates this. In conclusion, the results of this study contribute to the understanding of heat transmission in three-phase GIS busbars and their optimization and engineering. Examining the temperature field of 500kV GIS circuit breakers, it highlights the value of multi-physics field coupling simulations in improving the reliability and performance of power system components, especially GILs. This is done so that power system components are more reliable and run more efficiently. Optimal heat transmission and other design considerations for three-phase GIS busbars are the most important takeaways from this research.
