Abstract: Bellows are the key structures that compensate for and absorb the temperature-dependent displacement of a gas insulated switchgear (GIS) shell. It is of great engineering value to master the relationship between the temperature-dependent displacement behavior and various influencing factors. Based on the analysis of the influencing factors of the temperature variation displacement compensation ability of the GIS bellows, a bellows model was established. By coupling it with a shell having different degrees of bending through two layout methods, finite element simulation was carried out based on ABAQUS software to obtain the regular relationship between the temperature variation displacement compensation behavior of the bellows and various influencing factors. The results of the case study show that the temperature change displacement compensation ability of the bellows is most significantly affected by their own structural size. Reducing the wall thickness and increasing the wave height of the bellows can effectively improve the temperature change displacement compensation ability of the bellows and reduce the stress concentration in the compensation process. The change in the GIS shell shape is the second-most important influence; when the sliding support base of the bus barrel is lower than the fixed support base, the amount of temperature change displacement compensation of the bellows increases and the compensation capacity decreases, and, on the contrary, the temperature compensation capacity increases. Within the operating temperature range, the compensation ability of bellows with a distributed arrangement is better than that of a centralized arrangement, and can alleviate the initial deformation caused by gravity and gas pressure in GIS equipment.
