Planning of a High-rise Building

Totally Integrated Power

Answers for industry.
Introduction

The demands placed on a modern high-rise building are constantly

increasing. A high level of safety, flexibility throughout the entire

life cycle, a low level of environmental pollution, the integration of

renewable energies and low costs are common demands nowadays

that already have to be taken into consideration during the planning

of a high-rise building. A special challenge is the coordination of the

individual installations. The main installations are, for example, heat-

ing, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration, fire protection,

protection against burglary, building control system and power distri-

bution. In modern planning, the demands on a high-rise building are

not simply split up among the individual installations, but have to be

coordinated. An optimum solution is created from the networking of

the individual requirements. This manual provides an overview of the

most important installations in a high-rise building and describes the

planning of the power distribution as an example.

Planning Tasks when

Erecting a High-rise
Office Building
 1 Planning Tasks when Erecting
a High-rise Ofce Building
The greatest potential for the optimization of a project is
during the planning phase. At this stage, the course is set
for additional costs and cost increases which may incur
during the erection and subsequent use of the building.
Compared to conventional planning, integrated planning
continually improves the cost-benefit ratio. When tackling
complex tasks, integrated planning takes the synergies of
coordinated, intelligent, integrated systems and products
from a single supplier into account and implements them
in cost-effective solutions. Interfacing and elaborate har-
monization of different systems and products becomes
obsolete.
1.1 Total Building Solutions
Total Building Solutions establish a balance between the
requirements for safety and security of people and prop-
erty and the desire for ease-of-use and problem-free oper-
ation. The result is a highly automated, intelligent build-
ing, designed for the entire life cycle of the property. In its
requirements and structures, the Total Building Solution
refers to the Technical Building Management (TBM) disci-
plines.
These customized solutions comprise:
A central building control system
Security and personnel control systems
Control of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and
refrigeration
Automated room and zone controls
Power distribution
Fire protection
Protection against burglary and intrusion
Access control
Surveillance systems (CCTV and video)
Lighting systems
Integration of third-party systems
Display of alarms and building data
1.2 Building Automation
Building automation means the comprehensive solutions
and services required in the open-loop and closed-loop
control of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, light-

ing automation can be applied to individual rooms and

zones, entire floors and the complete building, even across
groups of distributed buildings and campuses.
Buildings are responsible for around 40% of the worlds
power consumption. With Directive 2002/91/EC, Energy
Performance of Buildings Directive, EPBD, the European
Union is trying to improve the energy efficiency of proper-
ties. Amongst the most important measures specified are
the creation of an energy certificate for buildings (or
energy passport) and the determination of minimum
requirements for buildings.
The components of the building automation systems are
evaluated with regard to their effect on the energy con-
sumption of buildings with the new standard EN 15232,
Energy Performance of Buildings Effects of the Building
Automation and the Building Management.
In accordance with the new standard, building automation
systems (BAS) are divided into four different performance
classes (Fig. 1-1).
Class D corresponds to BAS systems that are not energy-
efficient; buildings with such systems have to be
modernized, new buildings may not be equipped with
these systems.
Class C corresponds to the average BAS system
requirements currently in use.
Class B designates BAS systems that have been
developed further, with better functionality than
standard.
Class A applies to highly efficient BAS systems.

This new standard also contains procedures for the calcula-
tion of energy performance by means of user profiles for
various complex building types:
Offices, hotels

Combinations of these standard elements provide clear
specifications of how to achieve a certain performance
class.
1.3 Fire Protection
Fire requires an initial ignition and then oxygen to keep
burning. Therefore, wherever people live and work, there
is always a danger of fire. Constructional measures alone
are not sufficient to prevent the initial ignition turning into
a real fire. For this reason, effective fire protection is
essential. Effective fire protection is in place when the
following two conditions are satisfied. Firstly, the fire must
be detected quickly and clearly and signaled. And secondly,
the correct measures must be implemented as quickly as
possible. This is the only way to avoid direct fire and conse-
quential damage or at least to keep this to a minimum.
Optimally coordinated fire detection, alarm, evacuation
and fire extinguishing systems are more effective than
separate solutions. The fire protection system can also be
easily integrated with a management system in a larger
security concept with intrusion protection, access control
and video surveillance. This results in the creation of a
comprehensive hazard management. Integration in the
building control system and the associated intelligent
interaction result in a more effective protection of people,
property and the environment.
The fire detection system
Intelligent, high-speed evaluation models of advanced fire
detection systems such as the SINTESO detectors with ASA
(advanced signal analysis) technology enable smoke and
fire to be detected immediately and clearly, no matter how
difficult the environmental conditions. These detectors can
be programmed optimally for the conditions at the loca-
tion of use.
The alarm and evacuation system
The effectiveness of clear and unequivocal communication
during a crisis situation is also of prime importance in the
fire protection. An electro-acoustical or speech-controlled
alarm and evacuation system has proven to be the best
solution in all cases. Unique fire alarm signals, reassuring
behavior rules and clear instructions help to avoid panic
breaking out.
The fire extinguishing system
Each application requires a suitable extinguisher. Whether
powder, wet, foam or a combination of these extinguishing
systems: a fire extinguishing strategy that has been worked
out individually and tailor-made not only protects your
building, but also the environment when a fire breaks out.
1.4 Alarm and Evacuation Systems
The right information at the right time, at the right place!
The ideal equipment for this is an electro-acoustical emer-
gency alarm system with speech commands. It enables
quick, sensible responses thus providing optimum safety.
Rapid evacuation saves lives.
In addition to the prompt detection of the fire, quick and
orderly evacuation of the building is of prime importance
to save lives. Especially with regard to the changed court
rulings on compensation claims, the evacuation is playing
an increasingly important role. In tall buildings such as
hotels, banks or administration buildings, or in buildings
with a large number of visitors such as shopping centers,
universities and cinemas, efficient evacuation is of prime
importance. The following general rule applies: the faster
the evacuation, the greater the chance of survival. How-
ever, it is most important that panic does not break out
amongst the users or residents of the building. This is best
achieved with reassuring information and clear instruc-
tions.
It is therefore best when a fire alarm occurs that spoken
messages are used for the evacuation. Spoken instructions
via loudspeakers are clear, they are understood and fol-
lowed. This greatly increases the chances for people to
save themselves. For this reason, speech-controlled alarm
systems are an ideal complement to fire alarm systems in
all buildings.
1.5 Fire Extinguishing Systems
Time as a safety factor: An important element in fire
prevention is the time between fire detection and interven-
tion. The shorter this time that be kept, the less the imme-
diate damage and the consequential damage.
Intervention at an early stage: A fire extinguishing
system cannot prevent a fire starting. However, with
prompt detection, it can extinguish a fire when it is still
small. Especially in buildings where there are special risks
(expensive property, high downtime costs, etc.), this is of
invaluable, existential importance.
The basis for this is quick and clear detection so that fire
sources are detected and located immediately. Depending
on the situation, the correct intervention is started at the
right time.

Fig. 1-2: Stages during a fire
Successful extinguishing of the fire: As an automatic fire
extinguishing system represents the optimum initial inter-
vention method in most cases, Siemens supplies a coordi-
nated range of extinguishing systems. Adapted to the
respective field of application (risk and target of protec-
tion), each of these systems provides optimum protection.
The comprehensive range of extinguishing equipment also
ensures that the quickest and best effect is achieved,
suited to the situation in each special case (Fig. 1-2).
1.6 Planned Security
There is a great potential for risk terrorism and extrem-
ism, environmental catastrophes, fire, robbery, burglary
and spying, theft and vandalism. These risks have to be
identified and analyzed and the appropriate security con-
cepts have to be developed (Fig. 1-3).

Prevention, intervention and rescue measures can be
implemented for many of these risks within the framework
of the legal standards and guidelines. The aim is to make
the future more secure through defined risk management.
This means investment for companies, but also benefits:
transparency, confidence of members of staff and business
partners, improvement in the company image, increase of
the credit ranking and clarity about the risk situation.

1.7 Robbery and Burglar Alarm
Systems
The necessity to protect people, property and other values
against violence and theft was never as great as at present.
The subject of security is increasingly becoming an impor-
tant economic factor. Therefore, reasonable provisions for
the protection of people, the safeguarding of property or
irreplaceable objects of value are especially important.
Modern risk management takes account of these points.
Four security aspects
Naivety and carelessness help burglars just as much as
inadequate security measures. Therefore, protection must
be both passive and active: passive through mechanical
protection equipment and active with an electronic alarm
system. The additional observance of simple security rules
and the necessary everyday prudence are another signifi-
cant contribution to minimize the risk. Optimum protection
of people and buildings is based on the following four
pillars:
1. Prudence as free-of-charge protection
2. Mechanical protection equipment as the first line of
defense
3. Electronic robbery and burglar alarm systems for the
reliable detection of dangers
4. Forwarding of alarms for the immediate notification of
personnel providing assistance
1.7.1 Electronic Robbery and Burglar
Alarm Systems
The crucial question is: is an alarm system decisive for risk
management? The following factors must be taken into
consideration when answering this question:
Origin of the risks: are these only external risks, e.g.
through intruders, or do they also occur within the
building, e.g. through employees or visitors?
Objects of value on the property (cash, jewelry and
works of art, high-quality production goods and systems,
sensitive data, etc.)?
The location of the object to be protected: busy or quiet
area?
Risk of vandalism: what does the social environment
look like?
Danger of extremism: is there a danger of specific acts of
sabotage?
The consequences of burglaries, such as operational down-
times, the loss of customer data and the possible resulting
damage, must also be taken into consideration. The deci-
sive benefit of an alarm system is the protection against
the established risks and the minimization or total preven-
tion of injury to people or damage to property. This is only
possible with the aid of an active security system that
immediately sets off an alarm in an emergency situation
and also notifies the offices providing assistance.
An electronic system has decisive advantages compared to
purely mechanical protection measures. For example, it
already detects the first attempt at a break-in and immedi-
ately notifies the required security staff. This is not the
case with purely mechanical building protection. If not
detected, a burglar could make any number of attempts to
overcome the mechanical protection measures. If you also
consider that mechanical protection measures often can-
not be used with modern building components, such as
glass doors or special lightweight construction elements,
then an active security system is frequently the only alter-
native.
We recommend a sensible mixture of mechanical and
electronic protection. The more time it takes to break in,
the more time the notified security team has to intervene.
The burglar also has much less time in the building, which
can significantly reduce the possible damage.
1.7.2 Video Surveillance Systems
In sophisticated security concepts, the video system pro-
vides the visual basis for decisions and plays a central role
in addition to the real-time monitoring of critical areas
in the identification of persons with the aid of biometric
processes, and in the detection of dangers.
Mobile video systems
Whether for the monitoring of external installations, live
coordination of service personnel or the management of
mobile business activities, the high-speed availability of
data and images is a task performed by mobile multimedia
monitoring systems. Numerous detectors and cameras are
grouped around a mobile digital system that can store
multimedia information and quickly pass this on via mod-
ern communication networks.
Stationary digital room surveillance
Stationary systems are used for specific room surveillance
using the existing IT infrastructures. These systems detect
changes and monitor various alarm zones. If an alarm is
triggered, the video sequences are recorded digitally and
forwarded to higher-level management systems.
Recording of alarm situations
Video surveillance not only detects incidents, but docu-
ments the entire process when an incident occurs from
the recording of the video images, the transmission and
storage of this information, the initiation of automatic
measures through to the centralized data evaluation and
archiving.
Video control centers
The communication between the video system and the
control center is performed using TCP/IP via any Ethernet,
ATM or TN network structure. In conjunction with a Video
Web Client, operation, control and access is possible from
anywhere in the world.
1.7.3 Time Management and Access
Control Systems
Last not least, the future of a company is also a question of
the security technology and therefore, the right technol-
ogy for access control. The aim is to qualify access authori-
zation and at the same time flexibly adapt the authentica-
tion of persons to the individual corporate requirements,
as well as to be able to individually configure access rights
both geographically and chronologically.
The above requirements can only be resolved with the aid
of modern systems for access control. Therefore, open
system solutions with flexible networks are required. They
are only configured under consideration of the intended
use of the building and the organization involved. Its
special structures and the specific workflows also have an
effect. Factors such as the size of the company, the num-
ber of people, doors, elevator and access gate control as
well as additional functions also have to be taken into
account.
Future-oriented solutions include not only the linking of
business management applications, but also the integra-
tion of other security systems. When linked to the building
management systems, the information can also be opti-
mally used under energy performance aspects.
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens 9
 1.8 Automated Room Control
Modern automated room control concepts provide inte-
grated solutions for the air conditioning, lighting and
blinds control as an important precondition for the well-
being and performance capability of those using the room.
Switches and regulators in various designs, which satisfy
individual requirements and architectural demands, are
available for the operation of all room functions.
Communicative systems should be used that satisfy the
requirements of EN 15232 for a Class A building. Open
communication protocols such as LON or KNX/EIB in accor-
dance with EN 50090 satisfy this requirement. A further
advantage of such systems is the ease they can be ex-
tended with or flexibly adapted for various types of use.
1.9 Power Management
High supply and operational reliability and flexible use are
the key factors of every modern power distribution. With
the energy costs making up a greater share of the total
operating costs of the building, optimization of the operat-
ing costs through an ecological and economically efficient
optimization of the energy and energy costs is an abso-
lutely essential goal, which already has to be taken into
consideration during the planning.
Only when all the components of the power distribution
system have been optimally matched, is it possible to
guarantee a reliable and profitable power distribution,
which is beneficial throughout the entire life cycle of the
building. A power management system has the following
objectives:
Continuous monitoring:
Automatic, time-related recording, monitoring and
archiving of status and measurement data, power
consumers
Increase in the transparency through visualization of
the power flow/consumption within the building, from
the point of supply to the final load circuit
Analysis of the energy values:
Analyses of the energy data/flow and provision for
further processes
Identification of potential for improvement and savings
for the purpose of energy cost optimization
Correct allocation of the energy consumption quanti-
ties and costs according to utilization and consumer
Technical and organizational measures:
Optimization and reduction of the energy consumption
and costs
Support for purposeful diagnostics and maintenance
In order to sustain the energy performance of a building
permanently at a high level, accompanying services are
required during the operational phase in order to con-
tinuously adapt automation strategies to the changes in
use.

Power management system
The power management system is based on the opera-
tional level in a building, focusing on power supply and
includes the functional layers:
Acquisition for status analysis and measurements
Processing level for the data acquisition (Fig. 1-4)
Operator control and monitoring with visualization,
archiving, reports, control of switchgear, status
monitoring / measuring points
In order to command of optimum purchase/consumption
quantities records during the utilization phase, the
required measuring points and the power distribution
components to be monitored must be planned and
configured at an early stage. Specific room assignments
and the fact that this can change must be taken into
account.
The following outlines some of the reasons for the imple-
mentation of a power management system:
Quick and simple online overview of the states of the
power flow/consumption in the building
Validity check of the recorded values, avoidance of
reading errors
Optimization of the purchasing contracts adjusted to the
individual consumption shares
More precise specification and more economical power
consumption through exact knowledge of the demand
profile
Transparency of costs in the energy sector
Benchmarking
1.10 Power Distribution
Nowadays the investment costs are of prime importance
when planning power supply systems. But the operating
and energy costs should not be neglected either, as they
can have a sustained effect on the overall cost balance
over the period of utilization.
The electrical planning engineers therefore have the respon-
sibility of designing power supply systems with operational
reliability and energy performance in mind. Their service ren-
dered must correspond to the generally accepted rules of
good practice. This means that various implementing regula-
tions, administrative regulations, relevant standards (IEC, EN,
DIN), general legal building test certificates and the general
legal building approvals must be taken into account during
the planning phase, not only for a specific installation but
across all installations involved.
Support for these increasingly complex tasks during
planning is provided by solution approaches such as
Totally Integrated Power (TIP), which facilitates the plan-
ning tasks with integrated solutions and efficient engi-
neering tools.
Standards and regulations
When planning and erecting buildings, many standards,
regulations and guidelines must be observed and complied
with in addition to the explicit specifications made by the
building and plant operator (e.g. factory regulations) and
the responsible power distribution network operator.
These standards and regulations vary from country to
country and depend on the location of the building.
Power demand
With regard to the power supply, the most important task
is the estimation of the required power. In order to attain a
high level of efficiency, the components should work with
a utilization of 7080% of the maximum power: undersiz-
ing causes malfunctions, while oversizing results in excess
costs.
Network structure and supply sources
The network structure is determined by the requirements
resulting from the buildings use. In line with the specifica-
tions made by the installation company and the intended
use of the building, the required power must be distributed
between different sources of supply. If redundancy is a
system requirement, an additional reserve must be consid-
ered in the planning.
Besides the demand to be met by the general power supply
(GPS), the power quantity required from a safe and reliable
source of supply must also be estimated. This power de-
mand is divided between the redundant power supply
(RPS) and the uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The
redundant power supply (RPS) is also operated via the
second system input from the UPS as a standby system
when the general power supply has failed. In addition, the
power requirements of safety equipment (DIN VDE 0100-
710, DIN VDE 0100-718) to be supplied by the safety
power supply system (SPS) must be considered. The di-
mensioning of the individual components results from the
estimate of the power quantities required and their alloca-
tion to different sources of supply.
Electric utilities rooms
Besides the correct dimensioning of the components,
another essential planning aspect is the specification of
the size and location of the utilities rooms required for the
power supply. The dimensions of these utilities rooms
depend on the dimensions of the components required
and the relevant safety regulations.
Boundary conditions such as room ventilation, ceiling
loads and access ways for moving items must also be taken
into consideration when drawing up room and building
plans. Over-dimensioned rooms reduce the economic
efficiency of a building (room utilization). Under-dimen-
sioned rooms may hinder the implementation of a certain
technical solution or, at least force the use of expensive
custom solutions for the technology applied.

Power Distribution
Design Example
 2 Planning of the Power Distribution
Design Example
The power distribution in a high-rise office building is
considered in this chapter from the first planning steps to
the creation of the specifications of work and services. The
required planning steps are shown and explained using an
example.
The specifications of the owner/developer with regard to
the use of the building must be implemented when plan-
ning the power distribution. The supply concept is created
taking into account the rules and regulations valid for the
building location. The main components are then dimen-
sioned. Depending on the supply concept, the consump-
tion for the general power supply (GPS), the safety power
supply (SPS) and the uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
must be determined separately. The expected separate
consumptions must be weighted with the associated
simultaneity factor (SF) and added up.
The technical data of the components results from the
determined energy consumption. The architect can derive
important information for the required space and access
ways from the technical data and the requirements set by
the owner/developer. In addition to the component dimen-
sions, pressure relief and ventilation are also important for
the correct dimensioning of the rooms.
The power distribution system is then dimensioned in the
next planning step. Dimensioning is the rating of all the
equipment and components that are to be used within the
electrical network. Protection against overload, short-
circuit and electric shock as well as the static/dynamic
voltage drop and the static/dynamic selectivity are taken
into consideration.

The dimensioning software SIMARIS design provides assis-
tance for the dimensioning process. The result of the
dimensioning process is the specification of the switching
and protective devices as a function of the individual
connection distances. When all the components of the
power distribution system have been planned, this plan-
ning must be incorporated in the tender specification.
2.1 Specications (Excerpt from
the Project Description)
For a high-rise office building with shopping arcade in
Berlin, Germany, the power supply has to be planned for a
10-story building (12 floors) with a floor area of approx.
25 m x 60 m.

Determination and Division of Power Demand.
Parking garage / utilities areas
(incl. roof area)
Basement levels -1 to -3 with 1,350 m2 each + utilities
areas ca. 210 m2 (areas between utilities hubs), assumed
average power demand: 10 W/m2
Calculation: (3 x 1,350 m2 + 210 m2) x 10 W/m2 = 42,600 W
Shopping center / bank
Ground level 00 with 1,350 m2, assumed average power
demand: 60 W/m2
Calculation: 1 x 1,350 m2 x 60 W/m2 = 81,000 W
Offices
Levels +1 to +10 with 1,350 m2 each, assumed average
power demand: 50 W/m2
Calculation: 10 x 1,350 m2 x 50 W/m2 = 675,000 W
Refrigeration / ventilation
11 levels with 1,350 m2 each, assumed average power
demand: 60 W/m2.
Calculation: 11 x 1,350 m2 x 60 W/m2 = 891,000 W
Total power demand
approx. sum: 1,690 kW
Required transformer output
The established total power demand determines the re-
quired transformer output. The determination is based on
a cos phi = 0.85 and a transformer load level of 70%.

 2.3 Schematic Power Supply Concept
The following aspects should be taken into consideration
when designing electric power distribution systems:
Operational simplification due to clear and
straightforward network configuration
Low cost for power losses, e.g. by medium-voltage
network-side power transmission to the load centers
High reliability of supply and a high degree of
operational safety for the plant even in the event of
faulted items of equipment (standby power, selectivity,
i.e. fault-discriminating system protection, and high
availability)
Easy adjustment to changing load and operating
conditions
Low operating costs thanks to maintenance-friendly
equipment
Sufficient power transmission capacity of equipment
both under normal and fault operating conditions
Good power supply quality, i.e. low voltage fluctuations
owing to load fluctuations at a sufficient level of voltage
symmetry and low harmonic content in the voltage
Compliance with applicable standards and project-
related rules for special installations
Please also refer to the Application Manual, Basic Data and
Preliminary Planning, Chapter 4 Power Distribution Plan-
ning in Commercial, Institutional and Industrial Buildings,
high-rise building type 3.

2.5.2 Standby Power Supply
The standby power supply consists of the safety power
supply system (SPS) and the uninterruptible power supply
system (UPS).
Generator for safety power supply
To provide for necessary life safety equipment, such as
emergency lighting, elevators for firefighters, etc., a diesel
generator as standby power supply unit (t 15 s) is installed
in a container on the rooftop; selected rating 800 kVA.
Manufacturer: MTU
See Application Manual, Basic Data and Preliminary Plan-
ning, Section 5.7 Standby Power Supply.
Uninterruptible power supply
The requirements of the system integration in accordance
with Totally Integrated Power must be satisfied by an
(input-side) frequency- and voltage-independent load
supply through double-transformer UPS devices (so-called
online devices with double-conversion operation). In this
context, the distributed use of plug-in devices can be
excluded from the planning.
A CE marking in accordance with Directive 73/23/EEC for
low-voltage systems and 89/336/EEC for electromagnetic
compatibility is required for the operation of UPS devices
within the European Community. These regulations have
been included in the international standards for safety
requirements (IEC 62040-1-1 for operation in easily acces-
sible rooms and IEC 62040-1-2 for operation in locked
service rooms) as well as in the EMC requirements
(IEC 62040-2).
The UPS is installed at level 5 with a rating of 100 kVA
(central arrangement in the vicinity of the main consumer
(IT). IEC 62040-3 has been considered for rating the UPS.
A central, static UPS system with a separate batteries room
was chosen; selected rating 100 kVA.
Model: static UPS, consisting of a rectifier/inverter unit and
battery

2.6.2 Selectivity in Low-Voltage Systems
Proof of selectivity is required in IEC 60364-7-710 /
DIN VDE 100-710 and DIN VDE 0100-718.
See Application Manual, Draft Planning, Section 2.5 Selec-
tivity in Low-Voltage Systems.
According to IEC 60947-2, Appendix A, and VDE 660-101,
the determination or verification of the desired type of
selectivity is divided in two time ranges.
Time range 100 ms:
The time range above 100 ms can be analyzed by a com-
parison of characteristic curves in the L- or S-range. Toler-
ances, required protective settings, curve representation in
identical scales etc. are to be observed.
Time range < 100 ms:
The standard requires selectivity in this time range to be
verified by testing. Due to the fact that the time and cost
expense involved is very high, when different devices are
used in the power distribution system, selectivity limits can
often be obtained from renowned equipment manufactur-
Fig. 2-17: Example of a system configuration using SIMARIS design 4.1 basic
ers only. This is why in practice, let-through currents are
often compared to the operating or pick-up currents or, the
let-through currents of the protective devices are com-
pared to each other.
The prerequisite being that the relevant data is available
from the equipment manufacturer and that it is analyzed
thoroughly.
In this project, the selectivity was calculated with the aid
of the TV-certified SIMARIS design dimensioning soft-
ware. Components were selected and dimensioned using
SIMARIS design.
Note:
A network calculation should always be performed prior to
any performance description, forming a basis thereof. Any
problems resulting from a wrong device selection/combi-
nation/arrangement will thus be detected at an early stage.
Furthermore, a network calculation provides a record of
planning reliability with regard to cable cross sections,
voltage drop, observance of conditions for disconnection
from supply, and the grading distances of protective de-
vices.

Measurements/transmission from the switchgear
rooms / panels:
In each of the switchgear rooms or in process, measured
values and status will be collected via communication-
capable circuit-breakers, multi-functional measuring instru-
ments or distributed I/Os and transmitted to a programma-
ble logic controller (SIMATIC S7) via PROFIBUS-DP or direct
interfacing. This controller must be designed with the
capacity to generate mean values of measurements, per-
form message acquisitions, and store measured values and
messages temporarily. If communication to the operator
control and monitoring level has broken down, energy
data are buffered, so that they can be transmitted when
the connection is reestablished.
Central control room visualization on a PC:
The server shall be installed in a central room. The server
communicates with all PLC units (SIMATIC S7) in the
switchgear rooms via an OWG ring circuit, it serves for
display of all information rendered from the switchgear
rooms, for measured value, message and load manage-
ment parameterization as well as for data archiving. Client
applications on distributed workstations access this server.
In a control center the current status of power distribution
is displayed. Besides electricity, other energy types, such as
gas, compressed air, district heating etc., may also be
integrated. Energy quantities, limit violations, individual
measured values and switch positions are displayed inform
of graphics. Electrical switches can be remote-controlled
directly from the operator interface. All switching opera-
tions, whether initiated from the control center or directly
on site, as well as limit violations of measured values are
recorded with date and time and archived. This informa-
tion is either visualized as text message or graphically as
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens 35
 switching cycle diagram. Measured value acquisition is
performed continuously and compressed and archived as
mean values in adjustable increments of 1 to 60 minutes.
Values are displayed graphically as load curves. All archived
data are available for analysis, export and reporting. A cost
management function is available as to map the cost
center structure, energy types, consumption values, costs
and billing rates. Power distribution is visualized by means
of hierarchically structured process images. A plant over-
view functions as start screen to access the individual plant
component images. Messages and faults/malfunctions can
be displayed in the respective component images or in a
specific diagnostic image. In addition, there are curve
diagrams and tables/statistics.

 2.8 Performance Specication of Power
Distribution (Excerpt)
The following specification of work and services describes
the power supply from the medium-voltage level (rated
voltage 10 kV) to the final circuit.
A medium-voltage switchgear plant is to be erected ac-
cording to the supply conditions imposed by the responsi-
ble power distribution network operator.
In order to build a fully selective power system, specifica-
tions made by the network operator in terms of grading
times must be observed.
Medium voltage is fed into the system by means of ring-
main cables.
The switchgear for medium-voltage transfer is to be deliv-
ered as a 6-panel, gas-insulated (SF6) station (ring, ring,
metering, CB load transfer, 2 x CB transformer outgoing
feeder). It must be possible to extend the station by one
feeder panel without redesigning work being involved and
within a time frame of a few hours.
The medium-voltage substation consists of 3 panels (feed-
in via disconnectors, 2 x CB transformer outgoing feeder)
The transformers are to be designed as low-loss cast-resin
transformers with a performance enhancement option by
using tangential fans (50%).
The LVMD system, the busbars and the system of trans-
former/busbar/LVMD is to be implemented as a type-tested
assembly (TTA).
All feeder and coupling switches are to be delivered as air
circuit-breakers(ACB) in identical current ratings with guide
frame and LSIN releases. The rated current of the release
block must be adapted to requirements by means of a rating
plug (without replacing the measuring transducer set).
Feeders with LV HRC fuses must be measured in 3 phases
and their power consumption must be allocated to the
appropriate cost centers by employing a power manage-
ment system.
Meters for these load circuits shall be placed in such a way
that they can clearly be allocated to the respective load
circuit.
The compensation unit is to be supplied as a choked system.
General pre-conditions
All works are to be announced and registered approx.
4 weeks prior to their start and must be agreed upon with
the user/construction management/customer. The speci-
fied switchgear dimensions are maximum dimensions.
They are binding. Prior to delivery, the contractor shall
38 Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
take measurements of local conditions (openings and
doors for moving the switchgear in, frame dimensions of
switchgear, possible transportation units, weights,
routes ) in coordination with the construction manage-
ment. The delivery of switchgear components shall also
cover all costs required for testing and acceptance (power
supply network operator, experts..) and additional ser-
vices.
The leading products are binding.
The protective devices put out to tender are matched to
one another regarding their short-circuit behavior / charac-
teristic curves / shutdown behavior. For this reason, all
installation devices must be procured from one supplier.
Protective technology, reliability of supply as well as any
possible power feedback into the system in case of an
existing standby power network is to be agreed with the
network operator / public testing and inspection authori-
ties, Association of Property Insurers etc. Any works out-
side this industry, if not explicitly mentioned herein, are
not part of this performance specification. For the duration
of constructions, the contractor shall name a responsible
contact person for every work contract section /installation
who shall be in charge of coordination and clarification of
questions. Participation in construction-related meetings is
compulsory. If the contractor employs subcontractors, they
shall be named in the tender. The contractor provides
coordination, responsibility for and representation of his
subcontractors (construction-related meetings, workflow,
schedules ). The contractor, and not his subcontractors,
shall be the sole point of contact and partner in negotia-
tions for the customer.
Schedule
To ensure erection and mounting procedures running on
schedule, the contractor must adjust his capacities to the
specific mounting situation. Based upon the corner dates
listed below, the contractor is required to draw up a de-
tailed time schedule which describes the precise erection
and mounting procedures. The contractor must proactively
lead all coordinating talks required in this context with the
various developer representatives, representatives of
public authorities and any other performing companies
involved in the construction process. The detailed time
schedule must be handed over to the developers represen-
tative 4 weeks after the contract has been awarded, at the
latest. The time schedule becomes part of the contract and
must strictly be complied with. This time schedule must be
actively managed during construction, and, if necessary,
adjusted to a changed situation in good cooperation with
the parties involved.
Proof of selectivity (medium-voltage
utilities substation to final circuit)
Computational proof for the selected protective devices
and cable cross sections including an assessment of selec-
tivity for the entire supply network (MV branch circuit to
final circuit) including energy balance for all of the con-
nected loads (switchgear cabinets for the different supply
subsections, e.g. electrical installations, heating, ventila-
tion, air conditioning, lighting ).
Data on network configuration (1-pole single-line dia-
grams), cable lengths and load data are provided by the
construction management.
The outgoing feeder terminals of the above mentioned
main distribution boards will be regarded as the interface
for selectivity assessment.
Relevant power supply system data shall be handed over to
the third-party works suppliers in writing. The point of
reference is the feeder terminal to the distribution boards
for the different supply subsections.
The proof of selectivity, being the fundamental basis of the
implementation planning for mounting the electrical
installation, shall be handed in, at the latest, when the
implementation plans of the main switchgear are submit-
ted for the purpose of obtaining a mounting permit. This
proof must include the following:
Energy balance in form of a table
1-pole single-line diagram with device parameters (for
power sources, protective devices, cable routes)
1-pole single-line diagram with load flow and voltage
drop representation for each circuit
1-pole single-line diagram with representation of the
minimum and maximum short-circuit loads
I2t characteristic curve diagrams of all circuit-breakers
and the largest LV HRC outgoing fuses for each
switchgear station and network
(these curves must show the circuit-breaker parameters
that have actually been set)
A table of all protective devices including setting ranges
and set values
(will also be used for subsequent commissioning
documentation)
This proof must be produced using an approved,
certified IT tool.
Manufacturer/IT tool: Siemens/SIMARIS design
Note:
See Application Manual, Draft Planning, Section 8.3 Selec-
tivity and Back-up Protection.
A network calculation should always be performed prior to
any performance specification, forming a basis thereof.
Any problems resulting from a wrong device selection/
combination/arrangement will thus be detected at an early
stage.
Furthermore, a network calculation provides a record of
planning reliability with regard to cable cross sections,
voltage drop, observance of conditions for disconnection
from supply, and the grading distances of protective de-
vices.
Selectivity is required on the basis of the following stan-
dards, regulations and recommendations:
DIN VDE 0100-718 Erection of low-voltage installations
Requirements for special installations or locations
Part 718: Installations for gathering of people
(previously DIN VDE 0108)
DIN VDE 0100-710 Erection of low-voltage installations
Requirements for special installations or locations
Part 710: Medical locations (previously DIN VDE 0107)
Safety Rule of the Nuclear Safety Standards Commission
(KTA 3705)
Switchgear, Transformers and Distribution Networks for
the Electrical Power Supply of the Safety System in
Nuclear Power Plants
Increasing (global) customer demand for switchgear
with a high degree of supply reliability
Medium-voltage switchgear
In accordance with the Application Manual, Basic Data and
Preliminary Planning, Section 5.1 and Part 2 of the Applica-
tion Manual, Draft Planning, Section 3.4 Medium-Voltage

Note: Pressure calculation for internal faults
This proof is sometimes a mandatory requirement stipu-
lated by the power utility.
A calculation gives information regarding pressures pro-
duced in case of accidental arcs and provides the resulting
dimensions of openings in the shell necessary for pressure
relief (which is important when the switchgear room
should be located somewhere inside the building, because
pressure relief openings would then be problematic).
In accordance with Application Manual, Basic Data and
Preliminary Planning, Section 5.1.3 Pressure Development
in Switchgear Rooms.
Transformers and accessories
In accordance with the Application Manual, Basic Data and
Preliminary Planning, Section 5.2 Distribution Transformers
