Uprating an Overhead Line. Italian TSO Applications for Integration of RES
2013
The increase of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) production units has caused significant changes in the electrical system configuration. The existing structural asset isn't adequate to dispatch these new power flows that, at same time, should be favorite by various TSOs in order to obtain incentives. The outage of primary substations on the grid and the increase of consumptions have caused growing load currents on existing overhead line. This paper, after introducing thermal resistant conductors and Dynamic Rating (DR) solutions, reports an applications used by TERNA Group S.p.A. (Italian TSO). These systems are already installed on lines and they are contributing to increase power flows than…
Uprating an overhead line. Italian TSO applications to increase system N-1 security
2013
This paper analyzes innovative devices to optimize the energy flows transmission on existing overhead lines. Indeed sometimes the structural asset isn’t adequate to manage energy generated by Renewable Energy Source (RES) in particular operating conditions. In addiction the outage of primary substations on the grid and the increase of consumptions have caused growing load currents. In order to satisfy these needs, TSOs have adopted new measures on existing power lines and N-1 criteria to ensures the electrical grid security. These particular devices are Dynamic Rating systems. After introducing thermal resistant conductors and Dynamic Rating (DR) solutions, paper reports two different appli…
