GUIDE LINES FOR TECHNICAL SPECIFICTION FOR MONITORING CONTROL AND PROTECTION OF SHP STATIONS
1.0 1.1 INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVES This guide is intended to assist in preparation of specification for monitoring of various parameters of various operations, control and protection of main generating equipment viz turbine, generator, transformer and other associated auxiliaries. 1.2 GENERAL The generating units of a small hydropower plant may have its shaft vertical, horizontal or inclined with the type of turbine selected to suit the sites physical conditions. Small hydro turbines may be selected as per site conditions, head and discharge available. Small hydro-generator are of the alternating current type and may be either synchronous or induction type. Usually small hydro units up to 5 MW are expected to require minimum amount of field assembly and installation work. While machine having capacity from 5 MW to 25 MW may have slow speed, large diameter and with split generator stator that require final winding assembly in the field. Mini & micro power stations are generally provided system suiting to these being run unattended or with few attendants while bigger machines up to 5 MW capacity have more elaborate arrangement of control monitoring and protection. Machine having capacity up to 25 MW and provision of parallel operation with other systems will have more comprehensive control, monitoring & protection system. This guide, therefore, describes control, monitoring and protection requirement of small hydro power plants in following categories: Section-I Section- II Section-III Section-IV Section V General technical considerations for preparing specifications Technical Specification for MHP having capacity upto100KW, Technical Specification for SHP having capacity above 100KW to1000KW, Technical Specification for SHP having capacity above 1MW to 5 MW Technical Specification for SHP having capacity above 5MW to 25 MW.

MONITORING OF SHP Monitoring of operating parameters of the generating unit and their auxiliaries is very important for the life and optimum utilization of available discharge for generation. The efficient running of unit require regular monitoring. The primary input data and generation output data are monitored periodically. The details of data required for monitoring performance of a generating station is as following.

1.2 1.2.1
REQUIREMENTS OF MONITORING SYSTEM Instrument Transformers & Sensors
CTs & VTs Current and voltage transformers of rated voltage and appropriate ratio, class of accuracy is selected as per the requirement of the system. Sensors The sensors for temperatures, pressures, levels speed are installed at the proper location. 1.2.2 Indicating Meters Analogue type of meters, separate for each parameter with selector switches etc were being used earlier installed on control panels. Now a days digital meters are being used for such parameters. Digital multifunction meters are now in use, only one meter provides several parameters on selection, as well as provides routine display. Few analogue meters like power meters (kW), voltmeters, ameters with selector switches are provided for operational facilities. 1.2.3 Temperature Scanners Digital temperature scanners indicating the temperatures of stator winding, bearing pads, oil coolers etc. are provided and installed on the generator control panels. These scanners get the signals from the sensor installed at specific location preferably through screened cables. 1.2.4 Indicating Lamps Indicating lamps of suitable colours as per code and practices should be provided on control panels for indication status of machine and various auxiliaries, pumps, electrical equipment like breaker, isolator, AC/DC supply system etc. Lists of such indication and relays are enclosed as Annexure-I&II. 1.2.5 Alarm & Annunciations The protection system relays and auxiliary relays also provided signals to alarm and annunciation system. A set of annunciation windows are provided on control panels for each fault clearing relay with accept test and reset facility through push buttons. Alarm and trip annunciation indicate the fault and advise operating personnel of the changed operating conditions. 1.2.6 PLC Based System Recently control of machine and auxiliaries is done through PLC based control system automatically in addition to manual systems with local and remote facilities. The data are acquired through sensors and operation of machine is achieved on present values through PC Monitors etc.
The PLC will acquire data from generating units, transformers, switchgears auxiliaries through transducers / sensors/ CTs/ VTs wherever signals are week, noise level is high shielded cables should be used for carrying data / signals. For sending output signal PLC will use relays for operating breakers etc and comparators for giving ON/OFF signal. 1.3 LEVELS OF MONITORING Normally two levels of monitoring is provided in SHP as per recommendation of IEC 1116. The levels are: Alarm Tripping In case of manned power plant alarm comes first so as to make the operator alert if no corrective action is possible then tripping command with indication / hooter and annunciation will be there. But in case of unattended power plant direct tripping command will be initiated and shut off the facility to avert possibility of any damage to the plant. 1.4 1.4.1 CONTROL OF UNITS OF SMALL HYDROPOWER PLANT GENERAL For small hydro installation simplicity of control system is advised, however, the sophistication of control should be based on the complexity and size of the installation, without compromising unit dependability and personal safety. Simplicity of control is desirable to keep total cost of installed equipment as well as cost of maintenance, repair and tests at economical level. Moreover a simpler system is more reliable as compared to complex one. 1.4.2 GENERATOR CONNECTION TO SYSTEMS 1.4.2.1 Synchronous Generator For conventional method of synchronizing the generator is started, accelerated to near synchronous speed and excitation is applied. The voltage and the frequency are matched and unit is synchronized to the system, by closing generator circuit breaker or contactor, when done perfectly no current surge will occur. Normally both manual and automatic synchronizing of generator are provided. In addition the speed of some types of turbines under no load conditions is so sensitive to small adjustments in runner blade angle or inflow as to make only automatic synchronizing practical. Small hydropower plants will certainly require unattended automatic synchronizing. Manual synchronizing necessitates availability of continuous display of voltage, frequency, phase angle and devices to control voltage and speed on the control panel. Transducers or signal transmitters are provided either at the control panel or at the equipment.
1.4.2.2 Induction Generator For conventional method of connecting induction generator to the grid, the generator is started and accelerated to synchronous speed. In fact, the rotor speed of generator shall be (1% slip) more than grid frequency. This is done to avoid monitoring action of generator. Once the generator frequency matches with grid frequency the generator breaker is closed. Now the generator is connected with the grid and running at no load. At this stage grid power factor is to be checked and capacitor banks are switched on as per requirement to provide necessary reactive power and further loading of unit is done upto full load. All these functions can be performed manually as well as automatically through PLC, computer, microprocessor based control system. For smaller machines which are unattended provision of integrated digital control & SCADA system is preferred. 1.4.2.3 Status and Alarm Requirements 1.4.3 Unit ready to start Breaker position (no alarm if manual operation only) Intrusion alarm Fire alarm Emergency status alarm (requires immediate attention0 General status alarm (response can be differed) Trash rack differential alarm Unit stopped (when not required) Unit turning (when not required) High bearing temperatures Loss of lubrication or cooling or both Low hydraulic system pressure Incomplete start or stop sequence Loss of power UNIT CONTROL The control logic system for small hydro start stop sequencing can be provided by hardwired relay logic, programmable controllers microprocessor based systems or a combination of these. The unit control system should be designed to perform following functions: Data gathering and monitoring Start stop control sequence Annunciation & alarm conditions Temperature monitoring Metering & instrumentation
Event recording Synchronizing and connecting the unit to grid Control of real & reactive power The unit control system must be able to provide startup and shutdown sequencing under both normal and abnormal conditions. Under normal conditions, the unit is started and stopped in manner that produces minimal disturbance to the system. For instance of normal stop sequence entails a controlled unloading of machine and when completely unloaded, the generator breakers or contactor is tripped. On the other hand protective relay operation will initiate immediate tripping of the unit and complete shutdown as quickly as possible. For certain mechanical troubles the unit is unloaded as quickly as possible before tripping, in order that the potential damage from over speed is avoided. The unit control system, in order to control and monitor various control sequences, must interface with number of plant systems, including the following:
Auxiliary system pumps & valves Governor load control rollers setters, solenoids & brake control Excitation setters, contactors and circuit breakers Typical startup and shutdown sequence are shown in fig. 1-3 for a Francis turbine unit, which, for the sake of illustration, are shown as including synchronous generator and governing system.
Fig. 1: Typical Start Sequence of Synchronous Generator
Fig. 2: Typical Normal Shut Down and Mechanical Trouble Stop Sequence of Synchronous Generator
10
Fig. 3: Typical Electrical Trouble Stop Sequence for Synchronous Generator 1.4.4 CONTROL FUNCTIONS There are many functions to be controlled in a small hydropower system. For example turbine governor controls the speed of turbine, plant automation covers operations as auto start, auto synchronization, remote control startup or water level control and data acquisition and retrieval covers such operation as relaying plant operating status, instantaneous system efficiency or monthly plant factor. 1.4.4.1 Turbine Control This is the speed / load control of turbine in which governor adjusts the flow of water through turbine to balance the input power with load.
11
In case small plants in the category of micro hydel (100 kW unit size), load controllers are used, where excess load is diverted to dummy load to maintain constant speed. With an isolated system, the governor controls the frequency of the system. In interconnected system, the governor may be used to regulate unit load and may contribute to the system frequency control. Figure 4 shows the different types of control applicable to turbines.
Fig. 4: Turbine Control 1.4.4.2 Generator Control This is the excitation control of synchronous generator. The excitation is an integral part of synchronous generator which is used to regulate operation of generator. The main functions of excitation system of a synchronous generator are: Voltage control in case of isolated operation and synchronizing Reactive power or power factor controls in case of inter connected operation. The different generator controls are shown in fig. 5.
Fig. 5: Generator Controls 1.4.4.3 Plant Control Plant control deals with the operation of plant. It includes sequential operation like startup, excitation control, synchronization, loading unit under specified conditions, normal shutdown, emergency shutdown etc. The mode of control may be manual or
12
automatic and may be controlled locally or from remote location. Plant control usually include monitoring and display of plant conditions. Different plant controls are given in fig 6.
Fig. 6: Overview of Plant Automatic Control 1.4.5 CONTROL OF HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS 1.4.5.1 Vertical Array of Control System For hydroelectric power plants the components of the control system can be shown in vertical array as shown in fig 7.
Fig. 7: Hierarchy of Controls of Hydropower Plants
13
At lowest level (process level) process which includes, generator exciter, turbines, switchgears, motors, pumps, valve etc is being controlled. At middle level there is control interface equipment which sends signals to the apparatus from controlling equipment and for apparatus to transmit data back to controlling equipment. Auxiliary contacts of motor starter, relays instrument transformer signal conditioner, transducers or other interface devices. At top level there is controlling system which initiates control signals and receives the data transmitted from apparatus control interface equipment. At this level itself human-machine interface is included.
1.4.5.2 Categorization of Control System The control system can further be defined by identifying following three categories of control: Location: a. Local b. Centralised c. Off site Control mode: a. Manual
- control is local at the controlled equipment within the sight of the equipment - control is at other place, but within the plant - control is at remote place which may be quite far from the plant (Remote)
- Each operation requires a separate and distinct initiation. However it may be applicable for any of the three locations b. Automatic - With single initiation several operations in appropriate (PLC/ computer/ sequence are done. This system can also be applicable to any Microprocessor of the above three locations Controlled) Operation (supervision) a. Attended - Operators are all the time available at the plant to perform control action either locally or centralized control b. Unattended - Operating staff is not available at the plant. There may be occasional visits by operation & maintenance people to ensure security of plant.
1.4.5.3 Information and Control Signals Following four types of signals are provided between control board and particular equipment Analog inputs for variable signals from CTs, VTs, RTDs, pressure, flow, level, vibration etc. Digital inputs provides digitalized values of variable quantities from the equipment Digital outputs command signals from control boards to equipment Analog outputs transmit variable signals from control to equipment e.g. governor, voltage regulator etc.
14
1.4.5.4 Communication Links a. Communication links with remote control Following methods are available for implementing control from a remote location: Hardwired communication circuits (telephone type line, optical cables etc.) Leased telephone lines Power line carries communication system Point to point radio Microwave radio Satellite Metallic circuit in hardwire communication circuits and leased telephone lines, requires special protection for equipments and personals against ground potential rise (GPR) due to electric system fault, since the hydro-generator is source of fault current. GPR is also caused by lightening transmitted through power lines entering the power plant. As such suitable mitigation has to be provided. Power line carrier including insulated ground wire system can be used for communications purposes. This method couples a high frequency signal on the power line or insulated ground wire and is decoupled at an offsite point. Space radio can be used, utilizing power frequencies and micro wave radio can be practical if hydro plant owner has an existing microwave system. b. Communication with control boards Data and control signals of following equipments will be required to be transmitted between control board & equipments. Generator neutral and terminal equipment Head water and tail water level equipment Water passage shut off or bye pass valves gates etc. Turbine Unit transformer Circuits breaker and switches Generator Intake gates or main inlet valve and draft tube gates Turbine governing system Generator excitation system The communication link between control board and equipment should be reliable. c. Communications with Auxiliaries Data and control signals of following auxiliaries/ equipments will be required to be transmitted between control board and equipments.

1.4.6 MODERN PRACTICE REGARDING GOVERNOR AND PLANT CONTROL 1.4.6.1 Previous Practice Control of a hydro plant generating unit was typically performed from central control board located in centralize control room. The control board contained. Iron vane meters Hardwired control switches A large number of auxiliary relays to perform unit start / stop operations All the sensors and controls required to operate unit or units were hardwired to control panels allowing control of power station from cotnralised control room
1.4.6.2 Modern Practice Modern digital integrated control and protection system including programmable logistic controller (PLCs), distributed computer control system or personal computer control system not only provide supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) but also flexibility in control, alarm, sequencing, remote communication in a cost effective manner and has been specifically recommended for SHPs in India, under UNDP GEF projects. Control functions of small hydro plants are standardized in following US standards a. IEEE guide for control of small hydro electric plants, ANSI/IEEE standard 1011, 1990. b. IEEE guide for control of hydroelectric power plants ANSI/IEEE standard 1010, 1991. Specific hardware or software to be utilized for implementation is not however addressed in these standards. Architecture and communication are two potential problem area for computerized control system. In 1990, the International Organisation for standardisation developed a model for open architecture and protocol, know as SI (open system interconnection) ISO mode. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) type plant controllers combine with PC based SCADA systems are used as Governors and for plant control & data acquisition. This
16
makes the system less costly and reliable and therefore, can be used for small hydropower generation control. Personal computer based dedicated digital control system can perform all functions of governing, unit control, protection and also data acquisition & storage and are more economical and reliable. These dedicated systems with back up manual control facility of turbine control in emergency by dedicated semi automatic digital controllers can be a low cost option for small hydropower station. 1.5 1.5.1 PROTECTION OF SHP GENERATING UNITS GENERAL Small hydro turbine-generators should be protected against mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and thermal damage that may occur as a result of abnormal conditions in the plant or in the utility system to which the plant is electrically connected. The abnormal operating conditions that may arise should be detected automatically and corrective action taken in a timely fashion to minimize the impact. Relays (utilizing electrical quantities), temperature sensors, pressure or liquid level sensors, and mechanical contacts operated by centrifugal force, etc., may be utilized in the detection of abnormal conditions. These devices in turn operate other electrical and mechanical devices to isolate the equipment from the system. Where programmable controllers are provided for unit control, they can also perform some of the desired protective functions. Operating problems with the turbine, generator, or associated auxiliary equipment require an orderly shutdown of the affected unit while the remaining generating units (if more than one is in the plant) continue to operate. Alarm indicators could be used to advise operating personnel of the changed operating conditions. Loss of individual items of auxiliary equipment may or may not be critical to the overall operation of the small plant, depending upon the extent of redundancy provided in the auxiliary systems. Many auxiliary equipment problems may necessitate loss of generation until the abnormal conditions has been determined and corrected by operating or maintenance staff. The type and extent of the protection provided will depend upon many considerations, some of which are: (1) the capacity, number, and type of units in the plant; (2) the type of power system; (3) interconnecting utility requirements; (4) the owners dependence on the plant for power; (5) manufacturers recommendations; (6) equipment capabilities; and (7) control location and extent of monitoring. Overall, though, the design of the protective systems and equipment is intended to detect abnormal conditions quickly and isolate the affected equipment as rapidly as possible, so as to minimize the extent of damage and yet retain the maximum amount of equipment in service. Small hydroelectric power plants generally contain less complex systems than large stations, and therefore tend to require less protective equipment. On the other hand, the very small stations should be typically unattended and under automatic control,
17
and frequently have little control and data monitoring at an off-site location. This greater isolation tends to increase the protection demands of the smaller plants. An inherent part of the power plant protection is the design of the automatic controls to recognize and act on abnormal conditions or control failures during startup. Close coordination of the unit controls and other protection is essential. 1.5.2 EQUIPMENT TROUBLE 1.5.2.1 Plant Mechanical Equipment Troubles 1.52.1.1 Turbines (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Excessive vibration Bearing problems Over speed Insufficient water flow Shear pin failure Grease system failure

1.5.2.4 Utility System Troubles Utility line faults and other abnormal utility system conditions should be detected and the plant be disconnected from the utility system. Abnormal utility system conditions include the following situations: a. b. c. d. Ground or phase faults Single phasing Abnormal voltage System separation (islanding)
Coordination with the utility is needed in selecting specific protective equipment, particularly for line fault detection. 1.5.3 DEVICES USED IN A TYPICAL PROTECTION SYSTEM There are numerous ways of providing the functional protective requirements of the plant. While standard devices are generally available that can provide the protective functions required, however each station should have specific design suitable for protection requirements of the power plant equipment as well as the interconnection. The following section describes components of a typical protection system that might be applied to a small hydro plant. Discussions and diagrams are included to illustrate location and arrangement of relays. 1.5.3.1 Protective Devices 1.5.3.1.1 Temperature
19
A temperature device, possibly incorporating display and contacts for alarm annunciation and tripping to monitor bearing stator and transformer winding temperatures. Resistance temperature devices operating relays can also be used to detect generator stator overheating. 1.5.3.1.2 Pressure and Level Pressure and level switches installed in the turbine air and oil systems, to alarm, block startup, or trip, as necessary. 1.5.3.1.3 Over and under speed Direct-connected or electrically driven speed switches for alarm, control, and tripping. 1.5.3.1.4 Vibration Vibration detectors monitoring turbine or generator shaft sections, with alarm and trip contacts. 1.5.3.1.5 Water level A measuring system incorporating level sensors and monitoring equipment, to alarm, trip, or control turbine output on limiting values of headwater or tail water level, or head. 1.5.3.1.6 Fire Sensors located in areas where fire can occur and connected to a central fire monitor for alarm. Small generators usually do not have fire sensors or suppression equipment, since they are not usually enclosed. 1.5.3.1.7 Miscellaneous mechanical Sensing devices are integral to the protected systems, such as automatic greasing system, wicket gate shear pins, transformer, cooling and station sump drainage system. 1.5.3.2 Protective Relay and Protection System 1.5.3.2.1 Features of relays The protective relays stand watch and in the event of failures short circuits or abnormal operating conditions help de-energize the unhealthy section of power system and restrain interference with rest of it and limit damage to equipment and ensure safety of personals. The protective relays should possess following features: Reliability To ensure correct action even after long period of inactivity and also to offer repeated operation under sever condition. Selectivity To ensure that only the unhealthy part of system is disconnected
20
Sensitivity Detection of short circuit or abnormal operating condition. Speed To prevent and minimize damage and risk to instability of rotating plant. Stability The ability to operate only under those conditions that calls for its operation and to remain either passive or biased against operation under all other conditions.
1.5.3.2.2 Type of relays There are several types of relays being used for protection systems Electromagnetic relays Static relays Numerical relays The old conventional electromagnetic relays are now being replaced with static relays with are much faster and maintenance free. These relays are more reliable and sensitive. These microprocessor based relays have different protections elements and therefore a separate relay for each protection is not required. A list of protections generally available in these microprocessor based relays is enclosed as Annexure-II. The numerical relays are having LED indications for power ON, trip status for different protection elements, time / current characteristics selected and contacts for trip signals. However, some individual electromagnetic conventional / static relays for few important protections are recommended to be provided as standby relays. Advantages of numerical relays It has been a practice to use electro-mechanical / solid state relays for all above protections. The present trend is to use numerical relays which offer many advantages as follows, over the earlier technology. PARAMETER Accuracy Burden Setting Ranges Multi Functionality Size Field Programmability Parameter Display System Flexibility Co-ordination Tools Communication Remote Control Special Algorithms Special Protections Self Diagnostics NUMERIC 1% <0.5 VA Wide Yes Small Yes Yes Yes Many Yes Yes Many Yes Yes CONVENTIONAL 5%/7.5% >5 VA Limited No Large No No No Two No No Limited No No
The users worry that numerical relays are very expensive is now removed due to continuous production, improvement in techniques which have made numerical relays above all, with features listed as above. Numerical relays are more user friendly and are gaining popularity everywhere.

1.5.3.2.3 Criteria of selection of protection system The designer must balance the expense of applying a particular relay against the consequences of losing a generator. The total loss of generator may not be catastrophic if it represents a small percentage of the investment in an installation. However, the impact on service reliability and upset to loads supplied must be considered. Damage to equipment and loss of product in continuous processes can be dominating concern rather than generating unit. Accordingly there is no standard solution based on MW-rating. However, it is rather expected that a 500 kW, 415 V hydro machine will have less protection as compared to 25 MW base load hydro electric machine. With increasing complications in power system, utility regulation, stress on cost reduction and trends towards automation, generating unit protection has become a high focus area. State of the art, micro controller based protection schemes offer a range of economical, efficient and reliable solution to address the basic protection and control requirements depending upon the size and specific requirement of the plant. 1.5.3.3 Requirements of Protection of Turbine Two level protection is recommended as per IEC 1116. Elements to be considered are: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j) Speed rotation Oil levels in bearing Circulation of lubricants Oil level of the governing system Oil level of speed increaser (if provided) Bearing temperatures Oil temperature of governing system Oil temperatures of speed increasers Oil pressure of governing system Pressure of cooling water Immediate tripping is required for a, c, i, and j. While for item b, d, e, f, g and h only alarm and annunciation is required to alert the operator and take corrective action, but in case corrective action is not taken, tripping will eventually follow. Applying brakes at a particular speed (30% of full speed) is done to reduce time to achieve stand still position of machine. It is recommended two independent devices must be provided for over speed shut down on larger machines. One for alarm mostly at 110% and other for tripping at 140%, specially for machines which are not designed for continuous run away speed.
22

1.5.3.5.2 Transient overvoltage and surge protection Transient over-voltages and lightning surges are controlled by lightning arrestors.

1.5.3.5.5 Typical schemes With increasing complications in the power system, utility regulations, stress on cost reduction and trend towards automation, generator protection has become a high focus area. State of the art, microcontroller based protection schemes from various manufactures offer a range of solutions to customers to address the basic protection and control requirements depending upon the size and plant requirements.
25
1.5.3.5.6
Generators-size less than 300 kVA
Normally these generators are controlled by MCCBs, which offer O/C and short circuit protections. It is advisable to have following protections in addition to MCCB. E/F protection (51 N): This will protect the generator from hazardous leakages and ensure operator safety. Many organizations have already made E/F protection as mandatory. Since these units are very remotely located and less manpower is available for operation and maintenance, the system needs more automation and fool proof protections. Therefore, recently several optional protections are also being used for micro/mini units including over speed (12) protections. 1.5.3.5.7 Generators size 300 to 1000 kVA There are two major differences when compared with the small machines considered above. IDMT over current + E/F relay will be required in addition to normal MCCB or ACB releases since the generator may need shorter trip time for faults in the range 100% to 400% level.
26
By virtue or larger power level, any faults inside the stator or fault between the neutral of the machine and the breaker terminals can reach very high intensity. Such internal faults must be cleared instantaneously. Normal IDMT over current E/F relays are not adequate to monitor this internal fault status-otherwise the machine can circulate very high fault currents resulting in severe damage. A high impedance differential relay scheme, is the best suited for this purpose. If the neutral is formed inside the machine, the differential relay scheme will not be possible. In this case a restricted E/F scheme is the solution. Care should be taken to provide adequate number of CTs. Machine of this size are likely to have external controls for frequency and excitation so that they can be run in parallel with other power sources (other generators on the same bus or the local grid). This necessitates voltage and frequency related protections as well.
1.5.3.5.8 Generators size 1 MVA to 10 MVA Stator side protections o Voltage restrained over current protection (50V/51V) Normal IDMT O/C will not work here-when an over current fault occurs, due to higher current levels, there would be a drop in terminal voltage. For the same fault impedance, the fault current will reduce (with respect to terminal voltage) to a level below the pickup setting. Consequently normal IDMT may not pick up. It is necessary to have a relay whose pick up setting will automatically reduce in proportion to terminal voltage. Hence the over current protection must be voltage restrained. Two levels of over current protection are required low set and high set (for short circuit protection). o Thermal overload (49) This protection is a must it monitors the thermal status of machine for currents between 105% to the low set O/C level (Normally 150%) o Current unbalance (46) Generators are expected to feed unbalanced loads-whose level has to be monitored. If the unbalance exceeds 20%, it may cause over heating of the windings. This heating will not be detected by the thermal overload relaysince the phase currents will be well within limits. A two level monitoring for unbalance is preferred-first level for alarm and the second level for trip. o Loss of excitation (40) When excitation is lost in a running generator, it will draw reactive power from the bus and get over heated. This condition is detected from the stator side CT inputs by monitoring the internal impedance level & position of the generator. o Reverse Power (32) Generators for this size may operate in parallel with other sources, which may cause reverse power flow at certain times. During synchronization PF change due to load/ grid fluctuations Prime mover failure
27
When reverse power happens, the generator along with prime mover will undergo violent mechanical shock hence reverse power protection is necessary. o Under Power (37) It may not be economical to run generators below a certain load level. This protection will monitor the forward power delivered by the machine and give alarm when the level goes below a set point. This may however be optional. o Under/ over voltage (27/59) This will protect the machine from abnormal voltage levels, particularly during synchronization and load throw off conditions. o Under/ over frequency (81) This will protect the machine from abnormal frequency levels, particularly during synchronization and load throw off conditions. This will also help in load shedding schemes for the generator. o Breaker failure protection This protection detects the failure of breaker to open after receipt of trip signal. Another trip contact is generated under breaker fail conditions, with which more drastic measures can be taken, like opening of bus coupler or feeder breaker etc. o Stator earth fault (64F) This element tuned to the fundamental frequency can be used for the protection of stator winding from earth fault. o PT Fuse failure protection This relay will detect any blowing of PT secondary fuse and give a contact which can be used to lock the under voltage trip. This protection is very impartment since the machines of this size have to be protected for severe damages that may occur due to internal faults. Considering the large power levels, it is necessary to have a percentage biased, low impedance differential relay. These relays generally have following advantages. Percentage biased differential protection with dual slope characteristics REF protection element (87 N), which will monitor the generator for internal earth faults Over current protection, as a back up
28
Rotor side protections Generators of this size will need rotor side protections listed below: o Diode failure relay Brushless excitation systems will have rotor mounted diodes, which can become short or open during operation. Diode failure relay will monitor the condition of these diodes, for both open circuit and short, and give alarm o Rotor excitation current This is a DC current relay which will monitor the excitation current. o Rotor excitation voltage This is a DC voltage relay which will monitor rotor voltage The above three protections are normally part of the excitation system of the generator. o Rotor earth fault Relay for this protection will monitor the rotor winding status for the earth fault, it will detect the first earth fault occurred in the winding and provide an alarm. The relay employs proven DC rejection method for the detection of E/F. there are other two methods as shown in the diagram for field ground detection.

1.5.3.5.9 Generator above 10 MVA For large generators above 10 MVA size, the philosophy of main protection and back up protection has to be followed. In addition to the protections listed above following extra protections are to be considered.
30
o 100% earth fault protection This will help in sensing earth faults close to neutral. Third harmonic content in the zero sequence voltage will be detected by the replay for the above protection. o Inadvertent breaker closure This will avoid closing of generator to bus during process to stop, or when stand still or before synchronism. o Under impedance This will be required as a backup protection for the whole system including the generator transformer and the associated transmission line. If the distance relay fails to pick for some reason, this under impedance function will pick up and save the generator. o Over excitation This will protection the generator from over fluxing conditions 1.6 GENERATOR CONNECTED IN PARALLEL TO GRID Whenever generators are running parallel to grid, a comprehensive auto synchronizing & Grid islanding scheme will be required. This scheme will help in synchronizing the generator to the bus and opening the incomer breaker of the plant whenever there is a severe grid disturbance, thus protecting the generator from ill effects of disturbed grid. Grid disturbances Under-voltage / Over-voltages Under-frequency/Over-frequency Rapid fall/ rise of frequency (df / dt), Grid failure or other faults Generator may not be able to operate below a certain power-factor. At low powerfactor, reverse reactive power flow may damage the generator. Grid fault detection Over current and directional earth fault, Rapid fall/ rise of frequency (df/dt), Vector surge relay, GENERATORS CONNECTED IN PARALLEL ON A COMMON BUS Whenever more than one generator is operating in parallel, it is necessary to see that the plant load is equally shared by the generators in parallel. If there is unequal sharing, there would be sever hunting amongst the generators and eventually this will lead to cascaded tripping of all generators, causing a total black out. Specific load sharing relays are available in the market which provide the most effective, online load sharing system for generators in parallel.

Two number 3.3/33 kV unit transformers of -- MVA capacity each are proposed to step up the generated power to 33 kV. A single 33 kV bus is proposed.
The scheme will be designed in accordance with ANS/IEEE 1020 and will be subject to approval by owner. 4.2.1 CONTROL OF UNIT OPERATION The generation units of power plant are proposed to be controlled by push button from the main centralized control Board in the power Station with provision of control from SCADA system in the control room. Suitable interlocks shall be provided to safe guard the machine against inadvertant faulty operations and to ensure correct operation of all sequences when starting the machine from the power stations or from remote station. N o rm a l S t ar t i n g The normal starting and stopping of each unit is proposed effected through local remote switches to energize a sequence controller installed on the control panel of each unit. The master controller switch in the first step of its sequence, shall open-turbine inlet valve and start unit auxiliaries. In the second step of the sequence the turbine shall be started and field breaker is closed. Synchronization shall be by auto-synchronization as part of SCADA after second step. Provision of standby manual synchronization in the third step is also required. Loading of generating unit shall be in the fourth by remote control of the limiter motor and speed level motor. Normal stopping of the unit is similarly achieved in steps. Unit Stopping on Emergency Automatic protective devices shall be provided to detect failures in normal operating conditions of the various equipments and secure an emergency stop of the unit whenever necessary and actuate alarms. It is tentatively proposed that emergency stopping of the units should occur in the following cases:a). b). Electrical protection operation Mechanical protection operation.
52
c). d). a).
Turbine speed 115% Turbine over speed 130% (tentative figure) Turbine speed 140% (tentative figure)
Emergency closing of turbine inlet valves is proposed in the following case:
Hydraulic Control It is proposed to provide a system of water level controls based the for transmission of storage reservoir laves to the power plant and actuate alarms/shutdown whenever the levels goes beyond abnormal values and trail-race level by means of sensor installed in tailrace well for actuating runner blade angle. 4.3 4.3.1 CONTROL AND MONITORING OF PLANT EQUIPMENT General The control system shall receive input signals from main equipment such as the turbine or the generator, and from various other equipment, such as the governor, exciter, etc. Status inputs shall be obtained from control switches, level and function switches indicative of pressure, position etc, throughout the plant. The proper combination of these inputs to the control system logic will provide outputs to the governor, the exciter, and other equipment to start or shutdown the unit. Any abnormalities in the inputs must prevent the units startup, or if already on-line, provide an alarm or initiate its shutdown, depending upon the magnitude of abnormality. The unit control boards should be designed to perform the following functions: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) Information receipt and monitoring Start/stop sequencing control Annunciation of alarm conditions Temperature information monitoring Metering and instrumentation signals display Event recording, when required Synchronizing and connecting the unit to the system

Automatic switching of selected standby and emergency auxiliaries on failure of running auxiliaries is proposed. Automatic change over of entire unit auxiliaries to alternate source of supply is also proposed. 4.3.1.5 Switchgear and Motors Air break switchgear is proposed to reduce fire hazard. The opening/closing time of switchgear may not exceed 8 cycles so that stalling of motors on change over does not take place. All motors will be direct on line starting and are therefore high starting torque. 4.3.2 Control and Status Data Control and status data to be transmitted from various equipment to Unit Control Board and from Unit Control Board to the equipment etc is detailed below. This is tentative and may be increased or decreased as required with owners approval. Information and control signals will be needed between the control board and each of the following: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Turbine Turbine speed governor Generator Generator excitation system Unit transformer Circuit breaker and switches Intake valve and draft tube gate U/S and D/S water level Table 1.1 to 1.3 Table 2.1 to 2.3 Table 3.1 to 3.4 Table 4.1 to 4.3 Table 5.1 to 5.2 Table 6.1 to 6.2 Table - 6.3

CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEM General Considerations

Considerations involved in providing control and monitoring systems for the power plant and the switchyard are as follows:
h)
i)
j) k) l)
m)
n) o) p) k)
Main Single Line Diagram is shown in drawing (to be enclosed by Purchaser); Metering and Relaying as proposed is shown in drawings(to be enclosed by Purchaser); The power house is proposed to be controlled by supervisory control from control room of powerhouse as well as from offsite control centre. Accordingly provision is to be made for manual and automatic control for unit starting, unit stopping and running control at the power house with provision for supervisory control and data acquisition at power house as well as in centralized offsite control room. Dependable digital controls for system control with conventional manual control as backup are proposed. Power house units operation and loading is proposed to be Canal/HRC water level controlled The turbines, generators, transformer and other equipment proposed for the unit will be provided with necessary sensors and actuators. Intake gates/MIV with capability of gravity closing under emergency shall also be provided on upstream side. Emergency conditions (power house unit tripping etc.) will be taken care of by operating regulating Bypass Gates. For this purpose suitable provisions will be made in the control. The generators are proposed to be provided with static excitation system. ---- number 11/--- kV unit transformers of --- MVA capacity each are proposed to step up the generated power to --- kV. A single sectionalised --- kV bus is proposed for reliability. Entire power is to be fed into --- kV grid as shown in enclosed drawing.
The scheme will be designed in accordance with ANS/IEEE 1010 and will be subject to approval by owner. 5.3CONTROL AND MONITORING OF PLANT EQUIPMENT 5.3.1General The control system shall receive input signals from main equipment such as the turbine or the generator, and from various other equipment, such as the governor, exciter, etc. Status inputs shall be obtained from control switches, level and function switches indicative of pressure, position etc, throughout the plant. The proper combination of these inputs to the control system logic will provide outputs to the governor, the exciter, and other equipment to start or shutdown the unit. Any abnormalities in the inputs must prevent the units startup, or if already on-line, provide an alarm or initiate its shutdown, depending upon the magnitude of abnormality. The unit control boards should be designed to perform the following functions:
(ii) (viii) (ix) (x) (xi) (xii) (xiii)
Information receipt and monitoring Start/stop sequencing control Annunciation of alarm conditions Temperature information monitoring Metering and instrumentation signals display Event recording, when required Synchronizing and connecting the unit to the system
The unit control board is the central control means and communicates with the main and associated equipment through hard wire or multiplexing. 5.3.1.1 Level Controlled Operation of Power Units : The power units operation is proposed to be level controlled so that in case of variation in canal/HRC water level due to discharge variation, loading on the power units is automatically adjusted to available water and energy output is optimised, unnecessary gate operation avoided and canal water level maintained between permissible limits. Redundant level monitoring system one float operated and the other non float operated shall be provided. 5.3.1.2 --- kV line Control Manual control of the --- kV SF6 breaker is proposed in the power house and supervisory control in the centralized control room as well as at offsite control centre. 5.3.1.3 Station Service System The unit auxiliaries are proposed to be provided automatic control to suit the unit control as proposed for manual/supervisory control centralized control room and offsite control. 5.3.1.4 Annunciation Annunciation system is proposed to be designed for control of the unit from the powerhouse as well as supervisory control in centralized control and offsite control. The normal annunciators consisting of indicating lamp and relay assembly is proposed to be provided on the unit control boards in the power house. The remote annunciation for supervisory control will be part of digital control system. Data logging Data will be stored in hard disc and printed every half an hour for which printer will be provide at centralized control room as well as off-site. 5.3.1.5 Auxiliaries Control Centralized controls of the power distribution and control boards is proposed for unattended automatic operation and for remote control from power house no. 4.
94
Automatic switching of selected standby and emergency auxiliaries on failure of running auxiliaries is proposed. Automatic change over of entire unit auxiliaries to alternate source of supply is also proposed. 5.3.1.6 Switchgear and Motors Air break switchgear is proposed to reduce fire hazard. The opening/closing time of switchgear may not exceed 8 cycles so that stalling of motors on change over does not take place. All motors are direct on line starting and are therefore high starting torque. 5.3.2 Control and Status Data Control and status data to be transmitted from various equipment to Unit Control Board and from Unit Control Board to the equipment etc is detailed below. This is tentative and may be increased or decreased as required with owners approval. Information and control signals will be needed between the control board and each of the following: Canal/HRC water level Turbine Table 5.1.1 to 5.1.3 Turbine speed governor Table 5.2.1 to 5.2.3 Generator Table 5.3.1 to 5.3.7 Generator excitation system Table 5.4.1 to 5.4.3 Unit transformer Table 5.5.1 to 5.5.3 Circuit breaker and switches Table 5.6.1 to 5.6.2 Intake gate/MIV and draft gate Table - 5.7 Additionally, control signal shall also be from Auxiliary equipment, Fire Protection, Auxiliary AC Power Supply, DC Power supply, Service Water, Service Air shall be provided as per IEEE 1010. These equipment blocks represent auxiliary service equipment needed for the proper operation of the generating plant. Abnormal conditions of this equipment will be alarmed.

No. ----. The secondary current of C.T.s located in switchyard is proposed as 1 amp. because of long leads so as to ensure efficient and accurate operation of their protective scheme. 11 kV C.T.s and P.T. may be mounted on 11 kV switchgear panels alongwith relays. The drawings for the proposed system will be subject to approval by the Purchaser. 5.4.5 Protective Relays A brief description of protective relay proposed is given below:
5.4.5.1 Generator Protection Generator Differential Protection (87G) The generator primary protection is proposed by high impedance type of circulating current relays having proper setting range. The relays will be of high speed type and shall be immune to A.C. transients. Necessary provision shall be made in the relay to ensure that the relays do not operate for faults external to the protected zone. The relays shall not maloperate due to harmonics in spill current produced by through faults or due to saturation on one set of current transformers during an external fault. Provision shall also be made for alarm /indication in case of current transformer secondary circuit fault. The relay operation actuates lockout relay for complete shutdown of the unit including release of CO2 as shown in Drawing No. ----. Generator ground fault protection (64G) The generator neutral will be earthed through the primary winding of a distribution transformer of proper capacity and ratio. The secondary will be loaded by a suitable resistor rated for 60 seconds. A suitable voltage relay with continuous coil rating with proper setting is proposed to be provided. The relay shall be insensitive to voltage at third harmonic frequencies. The relay operation actuates lockout relay for complete shutdown of the unit.

Housing
Generator over-voltage protection (59) A set of single phase relays is proposed with suitable time delay setting so that operation of relay under transient conditions is avoided. The relay setting range is proposed from 110% to 150%. The relays shall be immune to frequency variation. Provision of instantaneous tripping element at some suitable setting is also proposed. The relay is set to operate lockout relay for partial shutdown to speed no load position. Negative phase sequence current protection (46) A two stage protection complete with filter network is proposed for this purpose. The first stage with a lower suitable range shall be instantaneous and shall be arranged to give alarm and annunciation and the second stage with higher range will energise a timer which shall perform the various tripping functions in two stages at different time settings, as shown in the drawing E230-3. The current transformer for this protection is proposed to be located on the generator line side. The relay is set to operate the lockout relay for partial shutdown to speed no load position.
Voltage restraint over current protection (51V) This backup protection for the generator operates for over current which are accompanied by dip in voltage so that false tripping due to through faults are avoided. The relay is set to trip lockout relay for partial shutdown to speed no load position.
122
Reverse power relay (32) This relay is proposed because of grid connection. The relay is proposed to be set to trip lockout relay to speed no load position. Check Synchronising relay (25) Check synchronising relay is provided to ensure the closing of the circuit breakers on synchronising at a phase angle not greater than about 7 degrees so as to prevent damage to circuit breaker especially in case of auto synchronising. Potential transformer fuse failure protection (60) Suitable voltage balance relays are proposed to monitor the fuse failure of 3 sets of potential transformers and to block the relays (50/51 V or 40) or other devices that may operate incorrectly on the voltage due to fuse failure of potential transformers. The relay is set to give an alarm only. Mechanical Protections Following mechanical protections are proposed for the generator: j. Resistance temperature detectors in stator core (12 no.) and in the bearings for indication, alarm and recording. RTDs are to be provided by Generator Suppliers. Turbine and generator bearing, metal and oil temperatures alarm/shutdown. Governor oil pressure low to block starting and low-low for emergency tripping. Over speed for normal and emergency shutdown depending upon its extent. Signal to canal regulating gates to avoid channel overtopping due to emergency shut down of unit. Contractor will co-ordinate with Generator and Turbine supplier for mechanical protection.
k. l. m. n. o.
5.4.5.2 Exciter Protection Generator field failure protection (40) An offset mho type of relay having its circular characteristics adjustable both in offset and diameter, along the X-axis of the R-X plane, is proposed for this purpose.
123
The protection shall consist of two stages. The first stage with a lower range shall be arranged to give alarm and annunication. The second stage with a higher range shall carry out the tripping functions as shown in the Drawing --. Generator rotor earth-fault protection (64F) Direct current injection type of protection is proposed for this purpose. The relay will be suitable for the field system voltage and be capable of detecting deterioration of insulation level below about 0.2 Mega-ohms. 110 Alternating current potential transformer auxiliary supply will be available but the relay will have its own internal rectifiers etc. to drive the D.C. injection supply. Failure of A.C. auxiliary supply will not totally incapacitate the protection. The tripping of the relay is set to open the excitation breaker and bring the unit to speed no load.
Over current relay (51 EX) This over current instantaneous relay in the excitation circuit before the excitation transformer will cater to rectifier transformer faults and other excitation system faults. This relay is set to trip excitation circuit breaker and bring the unit to speed no load.
Over excitation relay (OER) in the DC circuit and excitation relay (31) in the field flashing circuit are other relays proposed in the excitation system.
5.4.5.3 Station Service System Over Current Protection (51) Suitable relays are proposed to be provided for unit auxiliary transformers over load protections. The relay will operate from the three current transformers on the Low Voltage side of the transformer and will be arranged to trip the Low Voltage breaker as shown in the Drawing E-230-3. An instantaneous time over current relay is proposed from the CTs on the 11 kV side of the auxiliary transformer. This relay at a higher setting will cater to transformer faults and the tripping of the relay is set to bring the unit to speed no load as shown in Drawing E-230-5. Phase sequence relay (47) This relay on the station service system trips the LV circuit breaker so as to prevent operation of the three phase motors in the reverse direction (Refer Drg. -----).
124
Under voltage relay (27) These relays have been provided to trip the LV circuit breaker (Refer Drg. ------). 5.4.5.4 Step up 11/---- kV Transformer Protection Generator Transformer Differential Protection (87 GT) A sensitive percentage biased differential relay is proposed to be provided for each step up transformer protection with proper operating and bias setting. It shall have harmonic restraint feature to prevent its mal-operation due to magnetising in-rush surges encountered in normal power system operation. Provision shall also be made for alarm/indication in case of current transformer secondary circuits faults. The C.T.s on 11 kV side are proposed be located in the Generator neutral side and on ----- kV side in the switchyard. The auxiliary/interposing current transformers as required for the protection shall also be provided. The relay is set to operate lockout relay for shutdown as shown in Drawing No.-----. Standby earth fault protection (64T) For this protection Inverse Definite Minimum Time Lag type relay having suitable setting range and operating time is proposed. The relay shall be energized by zero sequence current supplied to it through current transformer in the power transformer neutral. This relay is proposed to trip the unit circuit breaker and bring the unit to speed no load. The relay will be co-ordinated with line earth fault protection. Bucholz gas pressure relay for first stage alarm and second stage trip. Transformer oil level and temperature Winding temperature
5.4.5.5 ----- kV Bus Bar Protection Bus zone Differential Protection (87 B1, and 87 B2) A high speed, high impedance type bus-bar differential protections proposed to be provided for each ---- kV bus zone. The scheme shall have separate and independent check and supervision features incorporated in it. Necessary separate C.T. cores shall be provided at the incoming and outgoing
125
circuits for check features. The main zonal relay and check relay scheme will have their contacts connected in series in the trip circuit. The protection will be capable of detecting all type of faults on the bus-bar. The sensitivity of protection shall be such that it does not operate for faults on the C.T. secondary wiring of the most heavily loaded circuit. C.T.s on one side of the bus coupler/section breaker are proposed and inter-locked overcurrent relay will be provided. The supervision relay will be capable of detecting open: Cross or broken C.T. secondaries and pilots by employing sensitive alarm relay, which shall be connected across the bus wires of each protected zone. It shall be capable of taking the protection of the effected zone out of service by shorting the appropriate bus-wires. `No volt relays to indicate failure of D.C. alarm and trip supply to the bus-bar protection scheme is also proposed to be provided. High speed tripping relays shall be provided to trip the connected circuit breakers connected to the faulty bus bar.
5.4.5.6 --- kV Line Protection Protective relay design for the --- kV line is important because of high fault power from 66 kV grid sub-stations. Main features of fast acting protection system are tentatively proposed as follows: i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) Main- Phase comparison static carrier relay (185) Backup- Directional overcurrent and ground fault (51 D) Local backup- Backup protection (FPR) Separate current transformers for two main protections. One potential device per phase has each line with separate secondary winding (independently fused) for primary and back up relay. Separately fuse D.C. tripping with separate auxiliary tripping relay. Provision of local back up protection for failure of Main and back up relay and on breaker failure. Following Relays are provided.
5.4.5.7 Under voltage relay (27) Under voltage relay shall be provided on the line and the bus to indicate live line conditions.
