Power system stress analysis for main grid substations in Brazil/Análisis del esfuerzo en sistemas eléctricos de potencia para subestaciones de redes principales en Brasil

The analyses for overcoming problems arising in basic grid substation buses and equipment are of essential importance to the Brazilian electric sector in view of the constant expansion of this system. These analyses are not simple tasks because they involve an evaluation of the impacts caused by installations arising from new connections and because they always include various studies. This paper presents examples of necessary investigations into the causes of the rated characteristic violations of basic grid installation components. An overview of the proposed electrical system that will be evaluated in conjunction with a new thermal generator plant connection to an existing system substation system is presented.
