High Voltage Lab

The main task of the high voltage laboratory is to deliver a platform which enables investigations of power components and subsystems under high voltage and high current conditions as part of the PowerLabDK concept. Focus is on component performance in interaction with complex electric energy systems and with other environmental factors, hereby meeting the needs for power systems based on renewable energy systems.

 

Modeling

The exposure of components in the future power system requires far more detailed knowledge to their characteristics than the traditional 50 Hz approach suitable for load flow calculations. Broad band models have to be developed for implementation in future grid models.
 

  • Design
    Research and development of electrical technologies for design optimization of power components. 
     
  • Testing
    Experimental investigations on power components for with respect to performance, reliability and broad band modeling. Tests are carried out on models and full size components with advanced test technologies for online and offline use. This includes diagnostic measurement systems for condition assessment of power components.

 

Main components to be mentioned are transformers, cables, breakers, rotating machines, insulators, power electronics, wind turbine components and more complex subsystems at all voltage levels.

 

For this purpose, the following facilities are available:

 

 

      AC:                2 x 400kV, 45 – 60Hz
 
  DC: 

 Up to 300kV +/-

 

  Impulse Voltage:     

 Up to 1200kV +/-, pulse shape i.e. 1.2/50s, 250/250s

  

  Impulse Current:  Up to 200kA +/-, pulse shape i.e. 8/20s, 10/350s
 
  Other facilities:  - EMC shielded room 
 - Material lab for sample preparation 
 - Dielectric analyses 
 - Tan /upload/sites/powerlabdk/img/greak.png measurements 
 - Space charge formation in cables and dielectrics 
 - Partial discharge measurements 
 - Transient measurements 
 - Aging tests, tracking resistance 
 - Insulation withstand voltage
