Description / Abstract:
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™-2002.1 The standard for fixed-series
capacitors is IEEE Std 824™-2004.
1 Information on references can be found in Clause
2.
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.
