EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ENMAX Power Corporation (EPC) hired SNC-Lavalin to Transient Recovery Voltage Study, to evaluate
the circuit breaker capability at Substation # 20 located at WEST WILLHURST, Calgary. The main
purpose of this study is to assess the Circuit Breaker Performance at Substation # 20, to ensure it
successfully the interrupt the fault current under worst case condition and to avoid the Circuit Breaker
damages in fault condition.

1 INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the results of Transient Recovery Voltage study carried out for New MV
switchgears at ENMAX Substation No 20. TRV study was carried out to assess the ability of new circuit
breakers to successfully interrupt fault currents under worst case fault scenarios.
TRV levels were assessed against the IEC standard breaker capability curves as outlined in IEC
standard 62271-100.
3.1 METHODOLOGY
The following steps were taken in this Study which we mentioned below,
a. We need to calculate the Thevenin equivalents and update them in the presently provided
Existing TRV models.
b. Then we ran and created 3-Phase & 1-Phase Fault on the Incomer Side (HV Terminals) of the
substation, to calculate the Impedance (Positive & Zero Sequence) values of the Network.
c. After that we deleted all the Remaining Substations which is present outside of Sub 05.
d. Then we modelled the Thevenin’s Equivalent Source for the Sub 05.
e. We run the modelling to find the errors if any in the network, before proceeding further.
f. Debugging the error after that we updated the existing modelling as per the given New SLD
which is provided by the customer.
g. Revised the Model and we created the 3phase Fault (Ungrounded & Grounded) across the
terminals of the Circuit Breakers, Bus & Outgoing Feeders as per the Scenarios.
h. Based on the results with respect to the scenarios to ensure that the new breakers which is
successfully interrupt the Fault current under worst case condition or not.
i. And to determine if there are any breaches in the TRV Capability as per the Standard Practise
IEC 62271-100.
j. Based on the results which we get from the PSCAD, all the Circuit Breakers of TRV is well
within the limit as per the IEC Standard. Here there is no violation is happened in the Substation
05. So, we don’t suggest any mitigation technique for this Study.
3.2 Scenarios
3.2.1 Scenario-1
In this scenario, both the incomer circuit breakers from transformers T1 & T3 at 13kV bus are in
closed condition, with bus couplers are in open condition. A terminal fault is created at one of the
outgoing load feeder circuit breakers.

Description:
In Normal Scenario, the Case-1 TRV study is performed in one of the Outgoing feeders of the Circuit
Breaker in 13kV bus. We created the 3Phase Ungrounded Fault across the Circuit Breaker Terminal
which is highlighted and the Time of applying Fault is 0.1166667[s] and we considered as a Permanent
Fault. After applied the fault, the circuit breaker will operate after 3 cycles 0.1666667[s] to open it. Then
we analyzed and compared the TRV voltage results of the selected CB as per the IEC Standard
Practice. The Simulation results are attached in Appendix-A.

3.2.2 Scenario-2
In this scenario, one of the incomer circuit breakers from transformers T1 & T3 at 13kV bus are in
open condition, with bus coupler in closed condition. A terminal fault is created at the Bus
coupler.
Description:
In Case-3 TRV study is performed in Bus-Coupler of the Circuit Breaker in 13kV bus. We created the
3Phase Ungrounded Fault on the Main bus which is highlighted and the Time of applying Fault is
0.1166667[s] and we considered as a Permanent Fault. After applied the fault, the circuit breaker will
operate after 3 cycles 0.1666667[s] to open it. Then we analyzed and compared the TRV voltage
results of the selected CB as per the IEC Standard Practice. The Simulation results are attached in
Appendix-C.

3.3 Results
The TRV Study is analyzed for ENMAX Substation 05 and we created the 3P Ungrounded & Grounded
faults across the Circuit Breaker Terminal, Outgoing Feeders and the Bus.
Summary of results observed under Scenario 1, 2 & 3 for various types of fault cases are tabulated in
Table 1 below.
3.5 Observation
It is Observed from the summary of the results, the fault contribution under Case 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 is
observed to be 55% respectively of circuit breaker rating of 25kA. Hence TRV is observed to be within
the T60 capability envelope.
3.6 Conclusion
From the TRV studies carried out for New 13kV switchgear at ENMAX Substation, it is observed that
the TRV and RRRV levels are well within the capability of the new 13kV circuit breakers is assessed as
per IEC 62271-100. Hence the selected 13kV breakers at ENMAX Substation 20 are adequate for the
application.
