KeelWit Technology develops a solution to prevent flashover problems in substations located in the desert for one of its clients

by | 15 Sep 2014 | Computer Fluid Dynamics

Due to the geographical situation of the substation, the ambient air has a high concentration of sand and salt. This high degree of pollution started generating flashover problems in the substation. Different solutions were studied to avoid the problems generated by the deposition of sand and the high environmental salinity. On one hand, several CFD 3D simulations were performed to observe the behavior of air in the surroundings of the complex. These simulations were focused in the design of different elements to aerodynamically deviate the wind from the surfaces to protect. On the other hand, a coating with silicone materials over insulators was studied, reaching the solution for the...
