ADVANTAGES OF PACKAGE SUBSTATION
o AIM To Explain the Advantages and Disadvantages of proposed Package substation for G58 WTG in Place of Conventional outdoor DP Yard.
WHY PREFABRICATED SUBSTATIONS?
o Reliability: IEC 62271-202 Complaint Substations
That mean resistance to the Temperature Rise, Humidity, Pollution, etc. Equipment Life Span Service Continuity Public and Operator Safety
o Quality and Standardization
Definition of LV/MV substation design including the right components solution to fit to the standards Since factory assembled and tested, Product will fit to the needs of quality and standards Control of Quality shall be maintained at all levels.

GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
GENERAL ADVANTAGES
PACKAGE SUBSTATION
CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM
o o o o o o
Compact and Safety superior. Aesthetically superior. Fully compartmentalized no accidental access to the live parts. Transportable and Ready to install. Minimal Maintenance EB metering, The CT & PT can be housed in a separate cubicle with tamper proof sealing arrangement
LIGHTINING ARRESTOR Conventional System Package Substation
LIGHTINING ARRESTOR
Conventional System
Package Substation
Conventional System
Package Substation
Made up of porcelain
Lighter in weight almost 90% of weigh is reduced
Heavy and it is hard to handling Easy handling
Could have hidden defects that are hard to detect
Vandalism is common Pin erosion and coupling hardware corrosion
Better performance in high contamination area
Better handling of shock loads
Cement growth cracking
more resistant to vandalism
Weaker in tension
Stronger in tension
PROTECTION IN CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS
AB SWITCH / ISOLATOR
Since the Fabrication is done is site, the alignment won't be that precise
Number of accessories are involved so it is hard to have a spares
Work at height is involved
Closing and Opening are mostly depends on the Operator physical strength
PROTECTION IN CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS
HORN GAP FUSE
The reaction time to blown the fuse during the fault is relatively slow when compared to VCB
Once the fuse is blown it is hard to detect
At the time of replacing the blown fuse, work at height is involved, so extra safety measures to be taken
PROTECTION IN PACKAGE SUBSTATION
MV SWITCH GEAR Hence it is a factory made there will not be any alignment problem Self powered relay are used to trip the circuit
In case of fault the fault circuit is isolated by tripping VCB rapidly
MV switch gear has a disconnector switch which can be connected to earth at the time of service
Since it is a factory made the standard quality of the materials can be obtained Maintaing inventory is quite easy
BUS BAR ARRANGEMENT IN CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM
BUS ARRANGEMENT -ACSR CONDUCTOR Since there is more no of terminals and joints the voltage drop is high Hence it is exposed to atmospheric condition easily contaminated by rust
Having risk of working at height Having risk of external faults Possible of having accidental access to the live parts
BUS BAR ARRANGEMENT IN PACKAGE SUBSTATION
BUS BAR ARRANGEMENT - PACKAGE SUBSTATION
Electrical connections are done by the cable and the Aluminium bus, so voltage drop is minimized Hence it is in a cubicle the atmospheric condition may not affect
External faults wont take place Accidental access to the live parts are avoided
Personnel safety is assured
MEASURING CTPT- CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM
MEASURING CTPT- CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM
Since it is a oil type, there is a chance of oil leakage
Possible of danger of fire and explosion
Possible of External Fault (Ex. Bird Fault)
MEASURING CTPT- PACKAGE SUBSTATION
MEASURING CTPT- PACKAGE SUBSTATION
Its a dry type transformer, the life time of the CTPT is longer
Provides Excellent mechanical and short ciruit strength
Less Weight and easy to handle
No danger of fire explosion
