Abstract

One of the important faults which cause power failure, equipment damage, loss of life and property in electrical power systems is arc faults. Due to increasing energy demand in power systems and complexity of the systems, the effects of arc failure and arc flash bursts are increasing. Therefore, it brings increasing need for taking measures. In this study, after the calculation methods in IEEE 1584 (2002) for arc flash analysis are shown, methods to prevent and mitigate the effects of arc flash failure are indicated. In addition, arc flash calculations and hazard analyzes were performed in a sample industrial plant. In order to reduce the effects of arc flash failure, the effect of busbar separation, change of relay setting values and the use of fault current limiting reactor were investigated. It has been shown that the effect of arc flash explosions can be reduced by different methods. Arc flash calculations and risk analyzes were performed using the Electrical Power System Analysis & Operation Software (ETAP) program.

Abstract

Elektrik güç sistemlerinde enerji kesintilerine sebep olan, ekipmanlara zarar veren, can ve mal kayıplarına neden olan en önemli arızalardan biri ark arızalarıdır. Güç sistemlerinde artan enerji talebi, kompleksleşen sistemler dolayısıyla ark arızası ve ark flaş patlamalarının etkileri giderek artmakta ve bu da azaltıcı önlemlerin alınması gerekliliğini beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, ark flaş analizleri için IEEE 1584 (2002)’de verilen hesaplama yöntemleri tanıtılarak, ark flaş arızasının etkilerini önleyici ve azaltıcı yöntemler sunulmuştur. Ayrıca, örnek bir endüstriyel tesiste ark flaş hesaplamaları ve tehlike analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ark flaş arızası etkilerinin azaltılabilmesi için bara ayırma, röle ayar değerlerinin değiştirilmesi ve arıza akım sınırlayıcı reaktör kullanılması yöntemlerinin etkileri incelenmiştir. Yapılan analizler farklı yöntemler ile ark flaş patlamalarının etkisinin azaltılabileceğini göstermektedir. Ark flaş hesaplamaları ve risk analizleri Electrical Power System Analysis & Operation Software (ETAP) programı kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir.
