Abstract

The UHV system is featured by high voltage level and large switching overvoltage amplitude. The increase of the rated voltage and the decrease of the limit standard put forward more rigorous requirements for the limitation measures for the switching overvoltage of the UHV system, and the preventive measures for the EHV system are no longer completely applicable. This chapter first discusses the basic knowledge of switching overvoltage of the UHVAC system, and then details the mechanisms, simulation and influencing factors, and the limitation measures for main switching overvoltage, and finally gives a study on the influence of the series compensation device on the electromagnetic transient characteristic of the UHV line in final.
