Latest company news about The first 500kv GIL using C4 gas is operating with electricity in China

The first 500kv GIL using C4 gas is operating with electricity in China The first environmentally friendly gas insulated equipment with the highest voltage level in the country has successfully operated with electricityRecently, the first 550 kV perfluoroisobutyronitrile (C4F7N, abbreviated as C4) environmentally friendly gas insulated metal enclosed transmission pipeline (abbreviated as GIL) in China was put into live operation at the 500 kV Rongsheng substation in Anqing. This is the highest voltage level environmentally friendly gas insulated electrical equipment for engineering applications in China.Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas is widely used in electrical equipment due to its excellent insulation and arc extinguishing properties, but it has a high potential for greenhouse effect and has been strictly controlled and constrained.State Grid Corporation of China issued Document No. 290 in 2022, promoting SF6/N2 mixed gas as a substitute for SF6 pure gas in GIS and GIL. Currently, SF6/N2 mixed gas is basically used for all newly built 110-220kV GIS in State Grid of China. C4 is a new type of environmentally friendly insulating gas, with a greenhouse effect about one tenth that of sulfur hexafluoride and an insulation strength about 2.2 times that of sulfur hexafluoride. It has become internationally recognized as the most promising SF6 alternative gas and is one of the solutions to replace SF6. To solve this problem, since 2017, Anhui Electric Power Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of State Grid Corporation of China, has collaborated with advantageous units such as China Electric Power Research Institute Co., Ltd. to carry out joint research and development. In 2019, the localization of C4 gas industrial preparation was successfully achieved, and the insulation design basis and compatibility evaluation indicators for C4 gas electrical equipment were proposed. In May 2021, the 12 kV C4 environmentally friendly gas ring main unit developed by the team was put into operation on the grid in Anhui and achieved large-scale application. The first batch of equipment has been running stably for over 4 years with excellent performance, further verifying the reliability of long-term operation of C4 environmentally friendly gas.

Latest company news about You know what? Who can produce C4 gas?

You know what? Who can produce C4 gas?   3M™ Novec™ 4710 Insulating Gas is a sustainable alternative to sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) for electrical equipment insulation and arc quenching applications. It offers excellent dielectric properties, a wide range of operating temperatures and significant reductions in environmental impacts compared to SF6. Novec 4710 gas is non- flammable and has a wide safety margin for workers when used as designed for intended applications. This SF6 alternative also has important environmental properties such as low global warming potential (GWP) when mixed with inert gases and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). Novec 4710 gas in pure form has a relative dielectric strength two times greater than SF6 at a given pressure.   On December 20, 2022, 3M announced that it will cease production of 58 Per/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) products, including perfluoroisobutyronitrile (C4F7N, 3M Novec 4710) and perfluoropentanone (C5F10, 3M Novec 5110), by the end of 2025 to reduce or eliminate the impact of PFAS on climate, environment, and ecological health.   In fact, in the ultra-high voltage industry, research and testing on using C4 or C5 instead of SF6 have not been interrupted. In China, many companies have passed type tests for their products, but have yet to mass produce them; Similarly, the production and supply of C4 and C5 gases are also limited to sample trials, and gas prices remain high. Currently, C4 prices are at 3000 RMB/kg, and it is reported that the largest production scale enterprise is yuji,It is said that there is a production line with an annual output of 100 tons. The current C4 manufacturing companies in China include Yuji ,HEXAFLUO, Haohua, and Ankura.   KSTONE  is a leading enterprise in China that develops C4 and C5 related instruments and equipment;and has precise cooperation with 3M and  chinese C4 or C5 manufacturers ;
