ABB SVC to Increase Reliability and Reduce Congestion over Multiple 500 kV Lines 指导原则(英语).pdf

SVC to Increase Reliability and Reduce Congestion over Multiple 500 kV Lines A very large Static Var Compensator (SVC) supplied by ABB was commissioned at the end of 2007 at Allegheny Power’s Black Oak substation near Rawlings, Maryland. The instal- lation enhances the reliability on Allegheny Power’s 500kV Hatfield-Black Oak-Bedington transmission line – one of the most heavily-loaded lines in the PJM (Pennsylvania, Jersey, Maryland) Interconnection area – by quickly changing reac- tive power levels to control the line’s voltage. In addition to improving reliability, the SVC will enable increased transmissi- on capacity across the PJM region. Enabling more power to flow on existing lines is an efficient use of resources and an important step in keeping pace with the region’s increased demand for electricity. The SVC is a midline SVC and constructed to stabilize the voltage at the point of connection during network operation events and contingencies. The project was initiated as part of PJM’s Regional Transmis - sion Expansion Plan, which identifies upgrades and additions to ensure the reliability of the electric transmission system Furthermore, the SVC control system incorporates automa- throughout its multi-state region. tic connection and disconnection of two 500 kV MSC in the same substation. The Black Oak SVC is rated at 145 Mvar inductive to 575 Mvar capacitive (-145/+575 Mvar). The turnkey project was com- Main circuit design pleted in 14 months, a record time given its scope, size and The main SVC design is a 6-pulse configuration with two TCR complexity. The Black Oak SVC is equipped with an advanced branches (Thyristor Controlled Reactor), three TSC branches control system capable of controlling not only the opera
