IEEE Guide for the Functional Specification of Fixed-Series Capacitor Banks for Transmission System Applications
Abstract
General guidelines toward the preparations of a functional specification of transmission fixed-series capacitor (FSC) banks using overvoltage protection based on three technologies are provided. The three technologies are:- metal oxide varistors-metal oxide varistors with a forced-triggered bypass gaps, and thyristor protected series capacitors- thyristor protected series capacitor. This guide does not apply comprehensively to thyristor-controlled series capacitors.Scope
This guide provides general guidelines toward the preparations of a functional specification of transmission fixed-series capacitor (FSC) banks using overvoltage protection based on three technologies: - metal oxide varistors - metal oxide varistors with a forced-triggered bypass gaps - thyristor valve bypass The commercial aspects of the specification for a particular project are outside the scope of this guide. This guide does not apply comprehensively to thyristor-controlled series capacitors. A more complete reference is IEEE Std 1534(TM)-2002. The standard for fixed-series capacitors is IEEE Std 824(TM)-2004.
Purpose
This guide presents technical clauses that may be used as the basis of a functional FSC specification. The annexes of this guide include related explanatory information. The annexes are cross referenced to the main part of the document.
