Foreword of Editor
Since the first publication of the Gas‐Insulated Substations (GIS) book in 2014, the technical development of new solutions and types of applications has increased. The second edition of the GIS book updates the complete text to cover recent technical developments and applications. New chapters have been added on new topics for the use of GIS.
IEEE PES Substations Committee Working Group K10 was charged with the revision work. Many experts from the industry, users, manufacturers and consultants contributed their knowledge and information on the technical changes in gas‐insulated high‐voltage technology of 52 kV and above.
There are significant changes to GIS technology related to insulating gases, substation resilience, high voltage vacuum switching technology, low power instrument transformers with electronic sensors, digital twin concepts, application of GIS for offshore windfarms and energy collecting platforms, and the operating requirements of digital substations using GIS. These topics are covered by new chapters added to the GIS book.
GIS also plays an increasing role in the development of higher resilience of the electric power network and to provide lower risk of power delivery interruption during extreme weather and climate conditions. GIS can also contribute to faster re‐energization of a substation after disasters have caused power delivery interruption. Indoor and even underground substations using GIS technology are one method to increase the resilience of the energy networks. The other method of mobile GIS provides ready to connect high voltage substations assembled on trucks and trailers, which can be energized within a short period of time to replace a damaged substation. These mobile GIS concepts are available for voltages up to 500 kV.
There are many practical examples of GIS installations world‐wide that provide examples of successful project in operation. These examples have been extended by case studies for city and network developments to show new possibilities with using GIS in the substation. Underground substations in metropolitan areas and city centers offer technical options to bring electric power to city or industry developments, when only little space and right of way is available. Underground projects are presented from all over the world to show new GIS‐related options. With case studies on city development projects, the complex situation to apply power infrastructure is shown and options are explained when using GIS.
Special buildings is a chapter which describes the combination of high‐voltage electric power supply installations within the same buildings as offices, apartments, restaurants, public places like cinemas, theaters, or spaces for sports events. The combination of multiple uses of buildings and power supply infrastructure makes GIS a perfect technology to provide the functions of high‐power switching capabilities in a small space, such as in the basement of buildings. Examples from all over the world are presented in this chapter
