V. CONCLUSIONS
A new ATPDraw object, called ISF, has been developed by
using MODELS language. The ISF object represents the
flashover of overhead transmission line insulator strings by
implementing several flashover models reported in literature.
The ISF object enables the easy quantification of the effects
of insulator string flashover models on the fast-front surges
arising at overhead transmission lines and impinging on the
connected substations.
The ISF object was employed in ATP-EMTP simulations
of a 150 kV GIS substation. The computed backflashover
surges impinging on the substation vary significantly in terms
of both amplitude and waveshape among the selected
insulator string flashover models; such variation, which also
depends on substation layout, may affect the selection of the
required protection measures and standard insulation level of
the substation equipment.
The ISF object is a useful tool within the ATP-EMTP
environment for utilities in assessing the fast-front surges
arising at overhead transmission lines and impinging on the
connected substations, as well as in selecting the necessary
protection measures. It can also be used for educational
purposes and is available at http://www.eng.auth.gr/hvl/.
