Integrated Power System Spreads over thousands of square kilometers Hundreds of Generating Units Thousands of Circuit Kilometers of Lines Tens of Thousands of Devices SINGLE LARGEST COMPLEX MACHINE 100% Reliability IMPOSSIBLE
FOUR MODES OF OPERATION NORMAL RESTORATIVE A L E R T ISLANDING EMERGENCY
RESTORATION OBJECTIVES • RESTORING NORMAL SYSTEM OPERATION AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE • SYNCHRONISING OF AT LEAST ONE UNIT AT ALL POWER STATION • RESTORING ESSENTIAL LOADS • ESTABLISHING ALL INTERCONNECTIONS • STARTING ECONOMIC DISPATCH • STARTING ALLOCATION OF C. S SHARE • MINIMIZING AMOUNT OF UNSERVED ENERGY
RESTORATION PROBLEMS • IMPAIRED COMMUNICATIONS, LIMITED INFORMATION. • RE-ASSEMBLING TIE ELEMENTS OF POWER SYSTEM. • UNFAMILIARITY WITH THE SITUATION (DOES NOT OCCUR REGULARLY) • TIME CONSTRAINTS • INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED TO AUTHORITIES- PRESSURE ON OPERATOR
EXTENT OF BLACK OUT AND ACTUAL REQUIREMENT • IDENTIFICATION OF BOUNDARIES OF ENERGISED AREAS • ASCERTAINING FREQUENCY & VOLTAGE OF ENERGISED AREA • STATUS OF GENERATING PLANTS(HOT/COLD/HOUSELOAD ) • NON AVAILABILITY OF ELEMENTS(LC/FAULT ETC) • OVERLOADING OF ELEMENTS • LOADS INTERRUPTED BY UNDER- FREQUENCY RELAY OPERATION OR DIRECT TRIPPING • STATUS OF BREAKERS SYSTEM STATUS DETERMINATION
PLANT SURVIVAL AND START UP • CONSIDERATION OF TIME-CRITICAL BOILER- TURBINE START-UP CHARACTERISTICS (FOR PREDOMINANTLY THERMAL SYSTEMS) • SURVIVAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE PLANTS AT THE EARLIEST WITH AVAILABLE ARRANGEMENT (DG SETS) FOR • Turbine emergency oil pump • . Jacking oil pumps • . Barring gear of the turbine • . Lubricating oil pumps • . Emergency lighting • . Battery charger • Compressor for CB THUMB RULES
ALL DG/GT’S TO RUN TO PROVIDE START UP POWER. • ESTIMATION OF TOTAL START UP POWER REQUIRED TO RUN AT LEAST ONE MACHINE OF EACH POWER STATIONS. • TAKING CARE NOT TO LOAD THE GENERATOR SUPPLYING START-UP POWER BEYOND 80% OF ITS CAPACITY. • RELEASING AUXILIARY POWER IN STEPS. • THE CAPACITY (I.E. FAULT LEVEL) OF ISLAND (SUPPLYING START UP POWER) TO SUSTAIN- STARTING CURRENT 0F BFP ETC. TO BE CHECKED. PLANT SURVIVAL AND START UP
NETWORK PREPARATION • CLEARING ALL DE-ENERGISED BUSES • GLOBAL OPENING OF ALL THE BREAKERS • ELSE:-SELECTIVE BREAKER OPERATION AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION • SECTIONALISING A SYSTEM INTO SUB-SYSTEMS TO ENABLE PARALLEL RESTORATION OF ISLANDS • AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHED CAPACITORS AND UNDER FREQUENCY RELAYS MAY HAVE TO BE KEPT OUT OF SERVICE AT THE INITIAL STAGE
NETWORK ENERGISATION • IDENTIFY THE IMPORTANT AND ESSENTIAL LOADS TO BE RESTORED FIRST • AT EVERY STAGE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SATISFY • REACTIVE POWER BALANCE • LOAD GENERATION BALANCE • PROTECTION AND PLANT CONTROL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS • HVDC IMPORT – ONLY WHEN MIN FAULT LEVEL IS AVAILABLE. • AVOID PARALLELING ISLANDS THROUGH WEAK LINKS THUMB RULES
NETWORK ENERGISATION PLANT CONTROL SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS A) MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS • REGULATION OF RATE OF CHANGE OF TEMPERATURE TO BE KEPT MANUAL • CONTROL FEED WATER WITH THE SOLE OBJECTIVE OF MAINTAINING DRUM LEVEL AT SET POINT • PLANTS HAVING FEED WATER REGULATING VALVES PREFERABLE TO THOSE HAVING TURBINE-DRIVEN FEED PUMPS • TWO FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEMS - ONE (OR NONE) AUTOMATIC AND ONE (OR BOTH) IN MANUAL.
B) ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS • VOLTAGE REGULATOR TO BE SWITCHED TO AUTOMATIC CONTROL (FROM MANUAL) ONLY WHEN THE UNIT REACHES A MIN. OPERATING POINT AND A SUFFICIENT VAR GENERATION 1S ESTABLISHED • PROTECTIVE RELAYS SUCH AS VOLTS PER HZ, OUT OF STEP, UNDER EXCITATION, DISTANCE, FREQUENCY & FIELD. FORCING CAN INITIATE AN UNDESIRABLE REGULATOR RESPONSE OR GENERATOR TRIP DURING START UP NETWORK ENERGISATION
NETWORK ENERGISATION STRUCTURAL • SYSTEM SIZE • METROPOLITAN OR RURAL • COMPACT OR EXTENSIVE GENERATION • TRANSMISSION VOLTAGE LEVELS • TYPES AND SIZES OF LOAD BLOCKS • AVAILABILITY OF INTERCONNECTION ASSISTANCE
NETWORK ENERGISATION DYNAMICS • REACTIVE CAPABILITIES OF GENERATORS /SYNCHRONOUS CONDENSERS UNDER NORMAL AND EMERGENCY OPERATING CONDITIONS. • SHUNT REACTOR AND CAPACITOR SIZES, LOCATIONS AND MODES OF CONTROL. • CHARGING CURRENTS AND MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE OVERVOLTAGE, TRANSFORMER REACTANCES, TAP RANGES AND MODES OF CONTROL • GENERATOR MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM OUTPUTS UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS
NETWORK ENERGISATION REACTIVE POWER BALANCE THUMB RULES
NETWORK ENERGISATION LOAD GENERATION BALANCE • TYPE OF THE LOAD • PEAK OR OFF PEAK • COLD LOAD INRUSH • GENERATOR CAPACITY • MINIMUM LOADING OF GENERATOR • RESPONSE TO SUDDEN LOAD PICKUP • TIME ELAPSED(HOT START)
LOAD RESTORATION • DURING RESTORATION EFFECT OF EACH RESTORATION ACTION ON FOLLOWING TO BE CONSIDERED • GENERATOR LOADING • TRANSMISSION LINE LOADING • LOAD ANGLE • RATE OF LOADING • RESPONSE OF THE GEN TO LOAD CHANGE • CHANGE IN SYSTEM FREQ AND OPERATION OF UFR’S • FLUCTUATING LOADS- EX. TRACTION, FURNACE ETC. THUMB RULES
RESTORATION STRATEGIES • BUILD DOWN OR SEQUENTIAL STRATEGY • BUILD UP OR PARALLEL STRATEGY
BUILD DOWN OR SEQUENTIAL STRATEGY • RE-ENERGIZATION OF BULK POWER NETWORK • BALANCED STEP-BY-STEP RESTORATION OF LOADS AND GENERATION • SUITABLE FOR • SMALL SYSTEMS NOT HAVING LONG EHV LINES • OR PREDOMINANTLY HYDRO SYSTEMS WITH HIGH REACTIVE ABSORPTION CAPABILITY • OR FOR LARGE SYSTEMS WITH VERY COMPACT SERVICE TERRITORIES • USUALLY SELECTED WHEN STRONG NEIGHBOURING INTERCONNECTION ASSISTANCE 1S AVAILABLE • INTERCONNECTION STATUS IS TO BE ASSESSED, HENCE TIME CONSUMING AND TASKING.
BUILD UP STRATEGY • SIMULTANEOUS RESTORATION OF ISLANDS/ SUBSYSTEMS FOLLOWED BY THEIR MUTUAL SYNCHRONIZATION • USUALLY SELECTED IN CASE OF A COMPLETE SYSTEM COLLAPSE AND LACK OF INTERCONNECTION ASSISTANCE • RELATIVELY QUICK PROCESS • REQUIRES SEVERAL OPERATING TEAMS AND ADEQUATE COMMUNICATION FACILITIES FOR MUTUAL COORDINATION
BUILD UP EXAMPLE- AP SYSTEM RESTORATION NSR+SSLM VTS+GAS RyTPP+ CUDDAPAH RADIAL ON TN
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS • FIRM TRANSMISSION IN THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN SUBSYSTEMS AND FIRM GENERATION CAPACITY IN EACH SUB SYSTEM TO BE ENSURED DURING EARLY STAGES OF RESTORATION • DEACTIVATION OF AUTOMATIC LOAD SHEDDING AND AUTOMATIC SWITCHED CAPACITORS DURING INITIAL STAGES, • RESTORATION OF SMALLER RADIAL LOADS FOLLOWED BY LOW VOLTAGE AC NETWORK LOADS WHILE MAINTAINING REASONABLY CONSTANT REAL TO REACTIVE POWER RATIO • PICKING UP SMALL BLOCKS OF LOADS FOLLOWED BY AS LARGE AS POSSIBLE, WITHOUT RISKING DANGEROUS DECLINE OF FREQUENCY, AS RESTORATION PROCEEDS. • KEEPING GENERATOR TERMINAL VOLTAGES RELATIVELY LOW INITIALLY, AND ADJUSTING TRANSFORMER TAPS, SUBSEQUENTLY AS RESTORATION PROCEEDS
RESTORATION PLANNING GENERAL GUIDELINES FORMATION OF A PLANNING TEAM • PARTICIPATION OF EXPERIENCED/KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSONNEL FROM RESPECTIVE FIELDS LIKE PROTECTION, COMMUNICATION, OPERATIONS, SYSTEM ANALYSIS ETC. • REVIEW OF SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS (RELEVANT TO RESTORATION)
RESTORATION PLANNING COMMON CONCERNS • TIME CONSUMING NATURE OF SWITCHING OPERATION • START-UP TIMINGS OF THERMAL UNITS • FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF PRIME MOVERS TO SUDDEN LOAD PICK UP • COLD LOAD INRUSH, POWER FACTORS AND COINCIDENT DEMAND FACTORS • AVAILABILITY OF GOVERNOR FACILITIES OF UNITS
FORMULATION OF ASSUMPTIONS • WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO TO BE CONSIDERED USING SYSTEM OPERATORS EXPERIENCE AND JUDGEMENT • CONSTRAINTS MAY DIFFER WIDELY FOR PEAK AND LEAN CONDITIONS • COORDINATION OF LOAD PICKUP WITH GENERATOR RESPONSE AND ARRESTING FALL OF FRFQUFNCY, BEYOND PRIME MOVER RECOVERY CAPABILITY UNDER PEAK CONDITION • BLACK-START FACILITIES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE DURING WEEK END LEAN PERIOD
ESTABLISHMENT OF GOALS • LOCAL CONDITIONS LIKE GENERATIOR MIX TYPE OF LOAD AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS PLAY A DECISIVE ROLE • IMMEDIATE OBJECTIVE (SYSTEM SPECIFIC) COULD BE. • RE-ENERGIZING THE BULK POWER NETWORK • OR ATTAINING A CERTAIN LEVEL OF ACTIVE AND REACTIVE CAPABILITY • ORPICKING UP A DOWNTOWN LOAD • OR SUPPLYING TIME-CRITICAL INDUSTRIAL LOADS • OR ENERGIZING EHV LINE TO A REMOTE, LARGE GENERATING STATION
VALIDATION OF ASSUMPTIONS • PROPER MODELLING OF STEADY STATE AND DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR OF POWER SYSTEM • CONFIRMING THE FEASIBILITY AND SECURITY OF PROPOSED ACTIONS USING A VARIETY OF ANALYSIS AND SIIMULATION TOOLS LIKE STEADY- STATE POWER FLOW, TRANSIENT AND DYNAMIC STABILITY ANALYSIS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC TRANSIENT SIMULATIONS • LOAD DATA, GENERATION DATA ETC. TO BE PREPARED CAREFULLY ITERATION TWO ITERATIONS ARE INVOLVED - • MODELS HAVE TO BE VALIDATED AGAINST MEASURED AND TELEMETERED DATA • THE RESTORATION PLAN (TACTICS) DEVELOPED TO BE CHECKED AGAINST THE INITIAL STRATEGY FOR CONFORMITY AND FEASIBILITY
LOGISTICS AND COMMUNICATION • CLOSE AND CONTINUAL CO-ORDINATION AMONG POWER SYSTEM POWER PLANT AND FIELD OPERATORS • NEIGHBOURING UTILITIES, AUTHORITIES TO BE INFORMED TIME TO TIME ABOUT THE PROGRESS OF RESTORATION. • TO DEPEND MORE ON THE UTILITIES’ OWN COMMUNICATION FACILITIES • FALL BACK ARRANGEMENT IN CASE OF COMMUNICATION FAILURE.
EXPERT / COMMANDO GROUP • COMMANDO GROUP TO BE FORMED AS THE SYSTEM COMPLEXITY GROWS. • GROUP SHOULD CONSIST OF ENGINEERS FROM DIFFERENT FIELDS AND BELONGING TO DIFFERENT UTIILITIES. • PERFECT UNDERSTANDINGIN THIS CORE GROUP • IT ENCHANCES THE MORAL STRENGTH OF FIELD OFFICERS AS WELL AS REDUCES RESTORATION TIME
AUIDITS AND UPDATES • A TECHNICAL PERSON OUTSIDE THE RESTORATION TEAM SHOULD AUDIT THE ACTIVITIES. • AUDITED RESTORATION PLAN MUST BE UPDATED. • DOCUMENTS MUST BE REVISED REGULARLY TO REFLECT THE LATEST CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SYSTEM. • CHANGES IN THE SCADA/EMS INSTALLATION OR MAJOR PLANT CONTROL, AVAILABLE TOOLS ALSO TO BE INCORPORATED.
TRAINING • INSTRUCTION MANUALS OR AUDIO –VISUAL TAPES, FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY • CLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONS • LEARNING FROM PAST EXPERIENCE DURING RESTORATION. • OPERATOR TRAINING SIMULATOR. • ROLE PLAY • OPERATOR’ S PROBLEM SOLVING CAPABILITY CAN ALSO BE EXPLORED AND DEVELOPED. • ALTERNATIVE, SOURCE OF FINDING NEW IDEAS. • DETAILED INTERACTION WITH THE PERSONS INVOLVED IN RESTORATION
DOCUMENTATION PURPOSE: TRAINING- REFERENCE, IMPROVEMENT OF RESTORATION PROCEDURES. SHOULD BE READILY ACCESSIBLE AND EASILY UNDERSTOOD. SHOULD BE STORED IN A CONVENIENT MEDIA FOR QUICK PROCESSING. SHOULD BE ILLUSTRATED WITH FAMILIAR DIAGRAMS AND CHARTS ACTIONS REJECTED AND INCORPORATED IN THE PLAN MUST BE RECORDED
