Estimation of Short Circuit Duration for the Assessment of Dynamic Effects in Distribution Substations with Flexible Conductors

The paper focuses on finding short circuit duration for computing the dynamic effects in Extra High Voltage (EHV) distribution substations with flexible conductors with the use of probabilistic method. To find fault duration for selected substation points, a risk criterion was involved, namely the expected annual frequency of exceeding the calculated values of dynamic forces. A dedicated simulation model based on the Monte Carlo method was used to analyze the dynamic effects of short circuit current flow in the substation during faults within it and in its vicinity. The short circuit duration model is the key part of the simulation model. Due to the discussion of how the selected factors affect the estimated short circuit duration, indications helpful to find the values of the latter were formulated and some examples for the 220 kV distribution substation were given.
