power to Unit and Auxiliary auxiliary

Some examples of such dedicated switchgears are: - Unit auxiliary services: Turbine and Boiler Auxiliary MCC, ESP MCC, Cooling Tower Switchgear, Unit Emergency Switchgear etc. - Station Auxiliary Services: Coal Handling and Ash Handling Switchgear Generally 3.3 kV, fed directly from 11 kV Station switchgear through dedicated 11/3.3 kV Transformer), Fuel Oil Plant Switchgear, HVAC MCC, IA/PA Compressor MCC, DM Water Plant Switchgear etc. 4.2.1 MV and LV Unit and Station Auxiliary System Down below the main MV Unit or Station Switchgear (generally 11 kV) the auxiliary power is generally distributed at two separate voltage levels- namely, a lower Medium Voltage level ( generally 3.3 kV) and LT level. The purpose of insertion of a second MV level is as follows: - To provide power supply to the HT Motors (rated upto 2400 kW). The commonest motors in this category are ID/ PA Fans for Boiler, Condensate Extraction Pumps for Turbine, Raw Water Pump, and Cooling Water Pump etc. - To provide dedicated power supply to the station auxiliary services like Ash handling system, Coal handling System, Cooling water System which requires bulk power more than2000 kW.

DESIGN GUIDE FOR KEY SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM Rest of the unit and station auxiliary loads are provided power supply at LT level. These are fed either from the LT Unit or Station Auxiliary Switchgear or directly from 11 kV Unit or Station Switchgear through dedicated 11/0.433 Kv transformer. 4.2.2 DG and Emergency Switchgear

Power supply to the safe shut down loads in case of plant shut down is provided from the Emergency Switchgear. Supply to the loads like Lub Oil Pump, Jacking Oil Pump, Seal Oil Pump, Barring Gear, Emergency Lighting, UPS System, AC input to Plant DC System etc are required to continue even after outage of the total plant to facilitate a safe shut down. To ensure this, the Emergency Switchgear has a dual feeding arrangement. One is from the 415 V Unit Auxiliary Switchgear and another from 415 V Diesel Generator (DG) Sets Feeding arrangement of 415 V Emergency Switchgear along with tentative rating of DG sets are to be indicated in Key SLD. 4.2.3 DC Distribution System DC power distribution arrangement with AC Incomer feeder, Battery Charger and battery and the main DC Distribution Board are to be shown in the key single line diagram. 5.0 DESIGN BASIS / CRITERIA 5.1 General

In line with the discussion in earlier section, the various steps of preparation of a Key Single Line Diagram will be as follows: 5.2 Power Evacuation Circuit For preparation of the EHV part of the Key Single Line Diagram, the following parameters are to be finalized:

-

•

• No. of units and rating. This will determine the no. of Generator transformer feeders in the substation.

•

• Basic philosophy of power evacuation – i.e., decision regarding the choice of following two alternatives:

Separate Generator and Station Transformer connected to EHV Substation and Circuit Breaker placed after Generator Transformer at EHV side.

In case the second alternative is chosen, there will be a “Station Transformer bay” corresponding to each unit. •

No. of feeders to be used for connecting the substation to the grid. These feeders will be used both for evacuation of the generated power to the grid as well as drawing the start-up power from the grid. For example if it is decided that two nos. Double circuit lines are to be used for evacuation of power that means there will be four nos. “Line Feeder.

•

In each bay, Breakers and isolators will be located based on the requirement of the corresponding switching scheme (i.e., one-and-half breaker scheme, two-main-one-transfer bus scheme etc.)

•

Earth switches are to be located in the bus and feeders keeping in view the maintenance requirement. For example, in case of Generator transformer Bays, the earth switch is to be located ‘before’ ( i.e., at the power station side) the isolator and for the line feeders, the earth switch will be located ‘after’ ( i.e., further end from the substation) the isolator. The purpose is to earth the equipment connected in each line, like LA, CVT, wave trap when the respective bay is switched off

•

Bus coupler shall be placed at suitable location on the buses.

5.3 Auxiliary Power Distribution Arrangement The following issues are to be addressed for preparation of Single Line Diagram for the auxiliary power distribution. 5.3.1 Connection from Generator to Transformers Connection of Generator output terminals to the Generator Transformer and also the tap-off connection to Unit Transformer are generally done by means of Isolated Phase Bus Ducts. This is shown in the key SLD with proper symbol 5.3.2 Transformer sizing criteria

a) Unit Transformer Primary side of Unit transformers are rated for generator output voltage ( say 22 kV) and the secondary side is rated for the Medium Voltage for Unit Auxiliary Power Supply ( generally, 11 kV). Hence a typical voltage rating of a Unit Transformer is 22/ 11 kV.

DESIGN GUIDE FOR KEY SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM For unit size upto 210 MW, one (1) no. Unit Transformer is considered per unit. For Unit size higher than 210 MW, generally two (2) numbers of unit transformers are considered for each unit. Each unit auxiliary transformer is to be sized based on the 50% unit loads. 5% margin on the aforesaid loads will be considered. No contingency factor will be considered for unit loads in case actual unit loads from the BTG supplier is available. Otherwise 85% contingency factor will be considered. Final transformer capacity will be adequate for starting largest motor with other loads in running condition. Generally ONAN/ONAF type cooling and On Load tap Changer (OLTC) is considered. Although exact range of tapping is subject to detail system study, a typical figure of ±10% @ 1.25% can be considered at initial stage as a tentative data. b) Station Transformer Purpose of Station Transformers are not only to provide power supply to auxiliary loads, but also to provide the start-up and shutdown power corresponding unit and also to provide power supply to the unit auxiliary partly) in case of failure of Unit transformer. Hence, the sizing criteria for transformer is little bit complicated compared to unit transformer.

station to the loads ( station

For one single unit, Station transformer supplies the Station auxiliary Power requirement for one unit only. However, in case of more than one unit, although one number station transformer for each unit is considered, but the sizing of the transformer depends on division of common station auxiliary loads. Two alternative divisions of station auxiliary loads may be possible: - ‘Unitized’ station auxiliary loads. That means, like Unit auxiliary Loads, the station auxiliary loads are also independent (and obviously identical) for each unit, with no common station auxiliary load. - Station auxiliary load for a pair of unit is considered as a module and two station transformers are considered to provide power supply to station auxiliary loads of two units. In view of more common application and more complicated sizing criteria, the sizing criteria corresponding to the second option is discussed. However, once this criterion is understood, it can be suitably modified to size station transformer in first case as well. Rating of station transformer shall be decided to meet worst of the following loading conditions and also shall meet the requirement of interrupting capacity of 11kV switchgear.
