PERFORMANCE-BASED EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING APPLIED TO HIGH-VOLTAGE SUBSTATIONS USING REAL-TIME HYBRID SIMULATION AND PEER METHODOLOGY
The objective of this paper is to utilize the results of a previously conducted experimental parametric study in the context of performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE).The experimental parametric study, which utilized real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS), was conducted to investigate the effect of support structure stiffness and damping on the seismic response of electrical disconnect switches with different insulator post types.Because the seismic performance of the disconnect switches is of significant interest to various stakeholders, including electrical engineers, utility companies, manufacturers and policy makers, it is essential to transform the results from an engineering demand parameter format, which is meaningful and useful to structural engineers, to a format equally meaningful to all interested stakeholders.The PBEE methodology developed by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center, that provides a probabilistic end-result in terms of fatalities, economical losses or downtime, is employed for this transformation.The paper also presents a direct quantitative evaluation of the influence of various parameters on the performance of disconnect switches, e.g.support structure configuration, insulator type, geographical location of substation, and amount of slack in connecting cables.
