[0034] When the inventors filed this application, they had studied single-line type of double busbar connection, single-line type of double busbar connection with reserved expansion bay, and double-break isolation of busbar disconnect switch:

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] This embodiment provides a high-voltage GIS double busbar connection device for uninterrupted power supply expansion. The device includes: a first working busbar 10, a first disconnecting switch 11, a spare working busbar 20, a second disconnecting switch 21, a grounding switch 30, an expansion port 100, and an expansion protection component 200. The expansion protection component 200 includes a gas gap insulation unit 40, a circuit breaker 50, a current transformer 60, a three-position switch 70, and a fast grounding switch 80.

[0037] The first disconnecting switch 11 is connected to the output terminal of the first working bus 11 to form a first series output branch;

[0038] The second disconnecting switch 21 is connected to the output terminal of the standby working bus 20 to form a second series output branch. The second series output is connected in parallel with the first series output to form a first parallel output branch.

[0039] One end of the grounding switch 30 is connected to the first parallel output branch, and the other end is grounded;

[0040] The first parallel output branch is connected in series with the gas gap insulation unit 40, circuit breaker 50, current transformer 60, three-position switch 70, and fast grounding switch 80 to form the third series output branch; wherein, the fast grounding switch 80 is used for opening or closing the fast grounding switch of the output line, the three-position switch 70 is used for line isolation and line grounding on the outgoing side, the outgoing side current transformer 60 is used for current measurement and current protection on the outgoing side, the circuit breaker 50 is used for opening and closing the output line, and the gas gap insulation unit 40 is used for insulating the first parallel output and the circuit breaker 50;

[0041] The expanded port 100 is connected to the third serial output branch.

[0042] Specifically, the gas gap insulation unit 40 is a long gas insulation gap consisting of an insulating shell and an insulating gas disposed within the insulating shell. One end of the insulating shell is connected to the first parallel output for insulating the first parallel output, and the other end of the insulating shell is connected to the circuit breaker for insulating the circuit breaker. The insulating shell is made of mica, asbestos, or glass, and the insulating gas inside the insulating shell is clean air, nitrogen, or sulfur hexafluoride. After the expansion and power frequency withstand voltage acceptance test are completed, the gas gap insulation unit will be modified to a conductor connection method.

[0043] Specifically, circuit breaker 50 is one of oil circuit breaker, sulfur hexafluoride circuit breaker, vacuum circuit breaker, or compressed air circuit breaker; three-position switch 70 is a three-position load switch; and fast grounding switch is a fast grounding switch with a switching action time of less than 0.15s.

[0044] In specific implementation, the gas gap insulation unit 40 can be a gas gap switch. The switching chamber of the gas gap switch uses clean air, nitrogen, or sulfur hexafluoride as the insulating medium between the first parallel output and the circuit breaker 50. When the gas gap switch is open, there is a gas gap between the first parallel output and the circuit breaker 50. When the gas gap switch is closed, the first parallel output and the circuit breaker 50 are directly connected, which is equivalent to a conductor connection.

[0045] To further enable uninterrupted power supply expansion, the high-voltage GIS double busbar connection device for uninterrupted power supply expansion also includes a controller. The controller is connected to the first disconnecting switch 11, the second disconnecting switch 21, the grounding switch 30, the gas gap insulation unit 40, the circuit breaker 50, the current transformer 60, the three-position switch 70, and the fast grounding switch 80, respectively, for controlling the first disconnecting switch 11, the second disconnecting switch 21, the grounding switch 30, the gas gap insulation unit 40, the circuit breaker 50, the current transformer 60, the three-position switch 70, and the fast grounding switch 80. In specific implementations, the controller can be a commercially available STM32 controller or an ATmega328 controller.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific process of achieving uninterrupted expansion in this embodiment is as follows:

[0047] In the first phase of construction, the first working busbar 10, the standby working busbar 20, the first disconnecting switch 11, the second disconnecting switch 21, the grounding switch 30, and the high-insulation long gas gap 40 for expansion have been installed and put into operation. Specifically, the I busbar disconnecting switch 11 is in the open position, the II busbar disconnecting switch 21 is in the open position, the grounding switch 30 is in the open position, and the gas gap insulation unit 40 (i.e., the high-insulation long gas gap for expansion) is in the open position. The specific details of the high-insulation long gas gap for expansion are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0048] The second phase involves long-term project expansion, including the installation and commissioning of expanded equipment. This includes circuit breaker 50, current transformer 60, three-position switch (used for isolation and grounding combination) 70, and fast grounding switch 80. At the start of the expansion, grounding switch 30 is closed to ensure the electrical safety of installation personnel. The expanded equipment is then installed sequentially. After basic commissioning of the expanded equipment is completed, a withstand voltage test is conducted. At this time, the gas gap insulation unit 40 (i.e., the high-insulation long gas gap used in the expansion) is in the open position, circuit breaker 50 is in the closed position, three-position switch 70 is in the isolation closed position, grounding switch is in the open position, and fast grounding switch 80 is in the open position.

[0049] The third phase involves long-term project expansion, including power frequency withstand voltage handover tests on the expanded equipment. These tests are conducted on the expanded bays from the expansion side. During the power frequency withstand voltage handover test, if the expanded section discharges to ground, the gas gap insulation unit 40 (i.e., the long gas gap with high insulation performance used in the expansion) will isolate it, preventing any impact on the energized busbars (including the first working busbar 10 and the standby working busbar 20). Even if the gas gap insulation unit 40 (i.e., the long gas gap with high insulation performance used in the expansion) breaks down, the grounding switch 30 is in the closed position, allowing the discharge current to flow directly to the ground, again preventing any impact on the energized busbars (including the first working busbar 10 and the standby working busbar 20).

[0050] The fourth stage is the commissioning of the expanded equipment. After the withstand voltage of the expanded bay is completed, the grounding switch 30 will be opened, and the gas gap insulation unit 40 (i.e., the long gas gap with high insulation performance for the expansion) will be modified to a conductor connection type (see...). Figure 3 Other operations are the same as normal dual-bus scheduling.

[0051] A typical double busbar connection with a single wire is shown below. Figure 4 A typical double busbar connection with reserved expansion bay single-line diagram is shown below. Figure 5 .Depend on Figure 4 and Figure 5It is known that if there is only one isolation break between the expanded bay and the operating busbar, the original operating busbar must be de-energized during the handover withstand voltage test of the GIS spare bay (mainly to prevent reverse superposition of overvoltages at both ends of the isolation break during the handover test, which may lead to discharge breakdown of the break and thus cause a power grid accident). For the operating unit, coordinating the de-energization of the substation busbar means delays in project progress, waste of manpower and resources, and direct or indirect economic losses caused by the power outage. Therefore, in the high-voltage GIS double busbar connection device for uninterrupted expansion in this embodiment, the outgoing side components, consisting of gas gap insulation units for expansion, circuit breakers, current transformers, three-position switches, and fast grounding switches, can ensure safety while allowing expansion without power outage. At the same time, by setting up a first working busbar and a spare working busbar, the operational reliability after expansion is improved.

[0054] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
