Northern Region, Greater Noida(GIS Substation)
Abstract-This report outlines the need of the GIS
technology integration in the power system in areas
like GREATER NOIDA, It gives a study report
regarding an installation of distribution GIS
substation. The report includes space consideration
with other technical information of substation
erection.

I. SITE PROFILE
Greater Noida or new Okhla industrial
development area are came into being as Industrial
Township in 1976 catering to Delhis commercial
needs and addressing its concern over polluting
industries. Greater Noida is the Planning Marvel
and an emerging Dream Township. The Total
Notified Area: 36,000 hectares Already urbanized
in Phase I: 5,000 hectares Organisable area: 12,000
hectares (by 2011) City planned for a population
of: 0.7 million (by 2011) & 1.2 million (by 2021)
Industry led development: 3000 hectares (to be
developed by 2011) Strategic Location within NCR
* Well linked to domestic & international markets.
The year 2010-11 proved to be a bad year
for industrial development in Noida and Greater
Noida. A total of 319 units shut operations during
the last financial year, more than 50% up from the
figure of 205 a year ago. Also, in 2009-10, a total
of 1,610 new units came up. But in the last
financial year, only 1,360 units were set up. Poor
power supply and deteriorating law and order
situation remained the main issue.
Greater Noida Industrial Development
Authority falls within the National Capital Region
of Indias capital - New Delhi and is adjacent to
Noida, one of the largest industrial townships in
Asia. It conceptualizes the needs of a fast
developing city of the future. The Action Plan and
execution is at par with global standards and is
aimed at accelerating the growth of industrial, IT
and institutional sectors in the country.Ecotech is
Greater Noida's exclusive Industrial area..Industrial
investment taking place in Greater Noida is now
over Rs. 10,000 crores. It has now become one of
the favoured locations for good industrial
investment especially of multinational investment
because of its good infrastructure near Delhi and
effective single window system of speedy decision
making and clearances.

To sustain this increase in demand of

power consumption more and more challenges are
faced by the government authorities to maintain the
power quality and integration of new technologies
in the power system to make it more reliable. As a
part of this problem substation technologies have
come up with up gradation from Air Insulated
substation to the GIS (Gas Insulated Substation).
Gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is a proven
technology used throughout the world that offers
many advantages over a conventional substation. A
primary advantage is its compactness, which allows
a GIS to be placed closer to a load centre, and it is
more aesthetically attractive, resulting in quicker
installation time, reduced maintenance, higher
reliability and safety, and excellent ability to
withstand seismic events.
When all these advantages are taken into
consideration, a gas-insulated substation is a costeffective to a convention in an urban community
and NOIDA region also demand such new
technologies to be implemented considering the
rate of the industrialisation and urbanisation.
The problem of power quality has been a
major threat, causing interruption of supply and
voltage sags which ultimately have led to declining
production and profitability of the industries. As
the reference of this background Uttar Pradesh
Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has proposed
many GIS substation to be installed and one of
them is being decided to be erected at the
GREATER NOIDA which takes power from the
substation PALI located about 30km. PALI
substation draws power from the generation plant
650 km far situated at Rihand Thermal power plant

Fig 1: Single Line Diagram of Proposed GIS substation:

II.LAYOUT AND DESIGN CONEPT

Fig. 2 GIS assembly

The proposed substation is connected to

Pali substation and draws power at 66kV and fed
power with in all four outgoing feeders with
voltage levels 33kV and 11kV.The proposed layout
is given in Fig. 1.The specification covers scope of
design, electrical specification of the components
used, monitoring system, safety and precaution
standards considering the climatic condition of the
site. It is desirable to have the INDOOR gis
considering the scarcity of land and also the high
cost of the land. The scope also covers provision of
modular design considering future expansion in the
load demand.
A. Material and design
Aluminium or aluminium alloys shall be
used preferably for the enclosures. The material
and thickness of the enclosure shall be selected to
withstand an internal arc and to prevent a burnthrough or puncturing of the housing within the
first stage of protection, referred to a short-circuit
current of 40 kA.
For supervision of the gas within the
enclosures, density monitors with electrical
contacts for at least two pressure levels shall be
installed. The circuit-breakers, however, might be
monitored by density gauges fitted in circuitbreaker control units.
The manufacturer assures that the pressure
loss within each individual gas compartment and
not referred to the total switchgear installation only
will be not more than 1% per year per gas
compartment.Each gas-filled compartment shall be
equipped with static filters of a capacity to absorb
any water vapour penetrating into the switchgear
installation over a period of at least 25 years.

C. Circuit Breaker
GIS uses dead tank SF6 puffer circuit

breakers. The nozzles on the circuit breaker

enclosure are directly connected to the adjacent
GIS module. Enclosure material will be aluminium
alloy.Circuit breakers are equipped with self-blast
interrupters. require minimum maintenance and
only a low amount of switching energy.
Table No.1
(High voltage Alternating current circuit breakers: IEC
62271-100)

B. SF6
Sulphur hexafluoride is an inert, nontoxic,
colourless, odourless, tasteless, and non-flammable
gas consisting of a sulphur atom surrounded by and
tightly bonded to six fluorine atoms. It is about five
times as dense as air. SF6 is about 100 times better
than air for interrupting arcs.
SF6 is a strong greenhouse gas that could
contribute to global warming. At an international
treaty conference in Kyoto in 1997, SF6 was listed
as one of the six greenhouse gases whose emissions
should be reduced. Field checks of GIS in service
for many years indicate that the leak rate objective
can be as low as 0.1% per year when GIS standards
are revised.

D. Disconnector (Isolator)
Disconnect switches have a moving
contact that opens or closes a gap between
stationary contacts when activated by an insulating
operating rod that is itself moved by a sealed shaft
coming through the enclosure wall. The moving
contact velocity is relatively low and the disconnect
switch can interrupt only low levels of capacitive
current or small inductive currents.

E.SCADA
The technologies developed are ranging from the
actual building and integrated SCADA based
monitoring system, through the compact gasinsulated Switchgear and transformers with
integrated control and protection equipment to the
SF6 Gas Management Plan (GMP) built around the
world. With all incoming and outgoing feeders
taking the form of cables, the building has no high
voltage-carrying elements on its outer walls.
IV. MODERN TECHNIQUES
1.Innovative and safe circuit breaker technology
requiring minimum space. The circuit breaker can
therefore be designed quite simple and reliable.
Interrupting unit based on the self blast principle
and hydromechanical spring operating mechanism
for a reactionless, reliable switching with soft
extinction behavior.
2.Integrated technology
Two different types of enclosures are available to
integrate the combined disconnector and earthing
switch into the building block system.
3.Busbardisconnector and earthing switch module

. In case of digital control technology, the single

line diagram with position indicators and control
buttons is replaced by a digital human-machine
interface. Digital control devices provide the same
functions as conventional control technology.
Furthermore a lot of versatile, additional control
and protection functions can be implemented:
Synchro-check,Auto
re-closing
Operating
frequency supervision, Fault recorder, Backup
protection
5.Connection to station control
Communication between bay devices and the
device on
station level uses solely the new standardized
communication protocol
6.Digital monitoring systems
Either the conventional or the digital control
technology is completed by digital monitoring
systems. These systems operate as an add-on to the
existing control technology and do not interact with
the switchgear protection.
Monitoring systems improve the overall
availability by continuous supervision of all vital
functions of the switchgear. This ensures an early
detection of critical situations and scheduling of
countermeasures into non-critical times.
7.A new way of Testing Gas Insulated Switchgear:
A voltage withstand test is necessary during the
commissioning of gas insulated high-voltage
switchgear (GIS). To date, the test was performed
by connecting a high-voltage test transformer and a
heavy control unit to the GIS. New technology
combines the multi-functional primary test system
CPC 100 with the newly developed CP RC
package, Together, they form a resonant
circuit..The package is connected to a voltage
transformer, which is specially designed for this
purpose .
8.Digital Relay:
Modern digital relays can be used for control as
well as for protection and other secondary
functions. Because of this, it is possible to group

and combine different functions using just software

tools. Increased availability through self
supervision and selfchecking of the electronics for
the remaining hardwired connections
V. GROUNDING
GIS are subjected to the same magnitude of
ground fault current and require the same lowimpedance grounding as conventional substation. a
strong grounding system is necessary.

Material used:

The inductive voltage against ground in each part

of the enclosure will not be more than 65 Volts.
Where operating mechanism cabinets are
mounted on the switchgear, the grounding will be
made by separate conductor. Bay control cabinets
will be grounded through a separate conductor.
All conduits and control cable sheaths will be
connected to the control cabinet grounding bus. All
steel structures will be grounded.
Each removable section of catwalk will be bolted
to the support structure for ground continuity.

Copper-clad steel
Copper is a common material used for grounding.
Copper conductors, in addition to their high
conductivity.
Size of conductor-6AWG

The enclosure grounding system will be

designed to minimize circulating currents and to
ensure that the potential rise during an external or
internal fault is kept to an acceptable level.

Equipments used:

. connectors will be of sufficient mechanical

strength to withstand electromagnetic forces as well
as capable of carrying the anticipated maximum
fault current without overheating by at least from
two paths to ground from the main ground bus.

1. grounding connectors Connecting all GIS

equipment, Bus duct, enclosures, control cabinets
supporting structures etc. To the ground bus of GIS

The guidelines of IEEE Std. 80-2000 on GIS

grounding, will be taken into consideration while
designing the grounding system for GIS

2.Connecting ground bus of GIS to the ground mat

riser.-GIS is housed on GIS floor. There will be
under-ground mat below the substation. There will
be adequate number of Galvanized steel risers to be
connected to grounding mat.

Grounding of GIS foundations

Area of grounding earth mat-40ft x 60ft

Enclosures and circulating currents:

the continuous-type enclosures provide a return
path for induced currents so that the conductor and
enclosure form a concentric pair with effective
external shielding of the field internal to the
enclosure
To limit the undesirable effects caused by
circulating currents, The possible solutions to
reduce the earth electrode resistance are taken as:
1. Use of High density grid:
2.Connection to the reinforced concrete mat:.
3.Use of deep driven ground rods

A simple monolithic concrete steel reinforced

slab is advantageous both as an auxiliary grounding
device and for seismic reasons. If a continuous
floor slab is used, a good adjunct measure is to tie
its reinforcing steel mesh to the common ground
bus (main ground bus) so that both the GIS
enclosures and the structural steel in and above the
foundation will be approximately the same
potential level

VI. Testing
Three types of testing has to be performed:

1.Type Tests:
1. Tests to verify the insulation level (Lightning
impulse, Switching impulse and ac withstand test
with PD) test on each GIS device (CB,
Disconnector, bus, etc):

The following points will be considered:

2. Dielectric tests on auxiliary circuits.

The grounding arrangement of GIS will ensure

that touch and step voltages are limited to safe
values. Theenclosures of the GIS will be grounded
at several points such that there will be a grounded
cage around all live parts.

3. Tests to prove the radio interference voltage

(RIV) level.
4. Tests to prove the temperature rise of any part of
the equipmentand measurement of the resistance of
the main circuit.

5. Tests to prove the ability of the main and

earthing circuits to carrythe rated peak and the
rated short time withstand current.

4. Measurement of the resistance of the main

circuit.
5. Tightness test.

6. Tests to verify the making and breaking capacity

of the includedswitching devices.
7. Tests to prove the satisfactory operation of the
included switchingdevices.

6. Design and visual checks.

7. Pressure tests of enclosures.

8. Tests to prove the strength of enclosures.

Each cast aluminium enclosure of the switchgear

shall be pressure-tested to at least double the
service pressure

9. Verification of the degree of protection of the

enclosure.

8. Functional tests

10. Gas tightness tests

9. Tests on auxiliary circuits, equipment and

interlocks in the controlmechanism.

11.additional tests on auxiliary and control circuits.

10. Pressure test on partitions.
12. Tests on partitions.
13. Tests to prove the satisfactory operation at limit
temperatures.
14. Tests to prove performance under thermal
cycling and gastightness tests on insulators.
15. Tests to assess the effects of arcing due to an
internal fault.

3.Tests after installation of complete GIS at

Site:
After installation and before being put into service,
the GIS will betested in order to check the correct
operation and dielectric integrity ofthe equipment
as laid down in IEC 62271-203.
Tests will include the following:

16. Seismic test

1. Dielectric tests on the main circuits.

17. Test on Auxiliary switches (Electrical &

Mechanical Endurance,Heat run, IR & HV
test)

2. Dielectric tests on auxiliary circuits.

2.Routine / Acceptance Testing:

During manufacture and on completion, all
equipment will be subjected to the Routine tests as
laid down in IEC Standard IEC 62271-203.
Tests will include the following:
1.Dielectric test on the main circuit.

3. Measurement of the resistance of the main

circuit.
4. Gas tightness tests.
5. Checks and verifications.
6. Gas quality verifications.
7. On site power frequency voltage withstand test
with PD test.

The dielectric routine test consists of a power

frequency voltage test on the main circuit including
PD measurement according The PD level needs to
be lower than 5 pC.

8. Functional & interlock tests for all items

2.PD test:

10. Visual inspection, checks & verifications.

No measurable partial discharge is allowed at 1.1

line-to-line voltage (approx. twice the phase-toground voltage). This test ensures maximum safety
against insulator failure, good long-term
performance and thus a very high degree of
reliability.

11. Mechanical operation tests of circuit breakers,

Disconnectors and earthingswitches and high-speed
earthing switches

3. Tests on auxiliary and control circuits.

14. Tests on Surge Arresters

9. Demonstration of operational compatibility with

SCADA

12. Insulation resistance measurement

As GIS compactness allowed erecting the

substation in the vicinity of the load, the proposed
GIS can sustain the power demand of the fast
growing NOIDA region at industrial level. The
substation will have 20+20=40 MVA of installed
capacity. There will be in all four outgoing feeders,
two with voltage rating of 33kV and two with
11kV.The substation mainly aim to supply the
industrial load with stipulated quality regulations.
We are also expecting general residential load. The
two 11 kV feeders will take care of the load in the
close region. For the load which are expected in
near future 33 kV feeders are provided that can fed
power to the another substation and then to
consumer. At present 47 large and small scale
industries are working with their full capacity. As
the growth of NOIDA in the recent past many more
industries are expected in this region, some of them
are listed below.
