What is a Switchyard ?
It is a switching station which has the following credits : (i) Main link between Generating plant and Transmission system, which has a large influence on the security of the supply. (ii) Step-up and/or Step-down the voltage levels depending upon the Network Node. (iii) Switching ON/OFF Reactive Power Control devices, which has effect on Quality of power.

Functions of various equipment : * Transformers : - Transforms the voltage levels from higher to lower level or vice versa, keeping the power constant. * Circuit breakers : - Makes or automatically breaks the electrical circuits under Loaded condition. * Isolators : - Opens or closes the electrical circuits under No-load conditions. * Instrument transformers : - For stepping-down the electrical parameter (Voltage or Current) to a lower and safe value for Metering and Protection logics. * Earth switch : - Used to connect the charged body to ground to discharge the trapped charge to have a safe maintenance zone.

* Lightning arrestors : - Safe guards the equipment by discharging the high currents due to Lightning. * Overhead earth wire : - Protects the O/H transmission line from Lightning strokes. * Bus bar : - Conductors to which a number of circuits are connected. * Wave Traps/Line traps : - Used in PLCC circuits for Communication and telemetering. * Reactive Power control devices : - Controls the reactive power imbalance in the grid by switching ON/OFF the Shunt Reactors, Shunt Capacitors etc., * Current Limiting Reactors : - Limits the Short circuit currents in case of faulty conditions.

Current transformers
Purpose : - To step-down the high magnitude of current to a safe value to incorporate Measuring and Protection logics Current transformers are used for the instrumentation, protection or metering of power systems.
PMI Revision 00
21
Voltage transformers
Purpose : - To step-down the high magnitude of voltage to a safe value to incorporate Measuring and Protection logics. Voltage transformers serve a number of functions in a power system. They are required for the operation of many types of instrumentation and relay protective systems. They measure voltage and in conjunction with CT , they measure power. They feed synchronizing equipment. They can be used as coupling capacitors in power line carrier network.

CAPACITIVE VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER Primary voltage is applied to a series of capacitors group. The voltage across one of the capacitor is taken to aux PT. The secondary of the aux PT is taken for measurement and protection.

Rod gap LA :
* Gap length is such that the break-down occurs at 80% of the spark voltage * After the surge, the arc in the gap is maintained by the normal supply voltage. So, only used as a back-up.

Wave Trap
* Wave trap is used for Protection of the transmission line and communication between the Substations. * VHF signal is transmitted from one end to the another through the same power line. * Sends inter-trip signal to the other end CBs so that fault can be isolated at the earliest time.

Modes of Transmission
PMI Revision 00
36
AC transmission
Advantages
- Power can be generated at high voltages. - Step-up/Step-down is possible.
Disadvantages
- Requires more copper. - Due to Skin effect, the effective resistance is increased - Continuous loss of power due to charging current even when the line is open. - Requirement of Transposition of conductors.
PMI Revision 00
37
DC transmission
Advantages
- Low cost due to less copper requirement - No Stability and synchronising problems. - Asynchronous lines (Interregional ties) - No increase in Fault level if interconnected. - Less Corona and RI. - Better Voltage regulation due to absence of Inductance. - Requires less insulation as the potential stress is less
Disadvantages
- Higher generation is not possible due to commutation - Step-up/Step-down is not possible. - Limitations in HVDC CBs, Switches etc.
