Estimação de parâmetros para um modelo dinâmico de para-raios de óxido de zinco.

Abstract

In this work is shown a parameter identification technique for a dynamic metal-oxide surge arrester model. This technique was based on the fitting of the residual voltages measured and obtained from the surge arrester model, from the 10 kA lighting current impulse (waveshape 8/20 //s). The results obtained from the fitted surge arrester model presented a very good accuracy. It was also evaluated, the behavior of the fitted arrester model under high current impulse (waveshape 4/10 (is), which are most severe transients than those used to estimate the arrester model parameters. The results obtained in that study presented good agreement compared to the measured data. At last, it was presented a comparative study of the results provided by the fitted surge arrester model with those provided by models e adjust procedures usually made in the literature. The results provided by the proposed parameter identification technique were more accuratc than the results obtained from the other procedures. Besides, the technique has the advantages of no need to know the metal oxide surge arresters physical characteristics and no use manual procedures, based on try and error, to adjust the arrester model parameters.
