This document summarizes a seminar on gas insulated transmission lines. It discusses how gas insulated lines use aluminum pipes housing conductors in sulfur hexafluoride gas to allow for high efficiency power transmission. The document outlines the main components of gas insulated lines, how they have evolved over generations to use nitrogen-sulfur hexafluoride gas mixtures, and methods of installing them both above and below ground. Gas insulated lines provide benefits like high transmission capacity, low losses, and reliability due to particle traps, with disadvantages including limited section lengths and potential for insulation breakdown.

INTRODUCTION
Means for bulk power transmission.

Composed of pipes that houses conductor


in SF6 gas.

High efficiency.

Can be used both in above & below ground.


GAS INSULATED LINE
Invention

GIL consists Aluminium conductor surrounded by


mixture of N2 and SF6 inside the enclosure.

GIL system first installation in Black Forest as long


ago as 1975 of about 4km. length.
MAIN COMPONENTS
Conductors & enclosures
Insulators & particle traps
Plug in contacts
Aluminum bellows
Enclosure joints
WHY ONLY SF6 AND
N2

Electronegativity.

Dielectric strength.

Arc quenching ability.


GENERTIONS OF GIL
1st Generation 2nd Generation
pure SF6 N2-SF6 gas mixture

Aluminium pipes with Spiral welded aluminium pipes


straight beads
Transportation units between
9m long transport 11.5m and 13.5m
units
Automated Orbital welding
Hand welding
Bending of the whole tube
Application of disc possible to radii > 400 m
spacers
Application of support
insulators
INSTALLATION OF GIL

1. Aboveground Installation

Unaffected by high
ambient temperatures.

High transmission power


can be achieved with
aboveground installation.

Corrosion protection is
not required.
2. Tunnel Installation
With this method of installation
the land above the tunnel can be
fully restored to agricultural use.

The system stays accessible for


easy inspection and high
transmission capacity is ensured.

3. Vertical Installation

Top solution especially for


cavern hydropower plants.

GIL systems pose no fire


risk, they can be installed in a
tunnel
4. Direct burial Installation

These systems are coated with a


continuous polyethylene to
safeguard corrosion resistant
Aluminium alloy.

The land can be returned to


agricultural use with very minor
restrictions.
