Gas-insulated transmission line (GIL) has many advantages
such as large transmission capacity
small occupation of land
small maintenance and small environmental impact
and has gradually become the first choice to replace overhead lines in special environments. Aiming at a hybrid transmission line system with two 500 kV overhead lines partially reformed to GIL
a GIL-overhead line hybrid transmission line model is established in PSCAD based on the structure and electrical parameters of GIL and overhead line
and short-circuit faults are set up at different positions of the line for simulation
so as to study the differences between fault characteristics. And suggestions for line reconstruction are proposed based on the simulation results.
