Conclusions
Compact Substations using Mixed Technology Switchgear (MTS) is not a new concept.
MTS shows clear advantages in less space required for the same SLD, extended SLD in the same space, higher flexibility of layout, easier engineering and integration with the secondary systems and reduced maintenance efforts and costs There are different applications for AIS, GIS and MTS. Cigre Working Group B320 is compiling a brochure evaluating the different technologies giving users guidelines in their application. IEC 62271205 on compact switchgear assemblies has been developed to cater for the new arrangement possibilities that have been developed by manufacturers and to ensure that the complete switchgear assemblies are covered by a single standard.
