The GIL covered voltage levels from 110 kV to 1000 kV. For Yellow River Laxiwa Hydropower Station, it's first 800 kV power plant in China. It's located at altitude of 2300 -2500 meters. In high voltage and high altitude areas, normal XLPE cable was limited to be used. This paper introduces particular issues of 800kV GIL in construction, design, manufacturing, erection and commissioning. And gives special recommendations for GIL applied in high fall vertical shaft and high altitude region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
