66/11 KV Sub-Station

The 66/11 KV substation was allotted as the site for project. It is located in the Sanghera,

Barnala, Punjab. The plant manufactures yarn, there are 5 such units. This substation provides

energy to these units. There is a total demand of 17MW for the entire plant. We partly rely on

Dhaula Co-gen and partly on PSPCL. The commercial rate of electricity in Punjab is Rs. 6/unit.

So there are two switchyards here. One amongst them being Dhaula, other being of PSPCL. Bois

th of them are transmitted by 66 KV.

Here are the details of load sanctioned by the PSPCL:

Connected load 36987 KW

Contract Demand 35000 KVA

Peak Load Allowed 11400 KW

PSPCL has kept a strict rule to keep the power factor above 0.9 lagging. A penalty has been kept

if it exceeds. However, power is subsidized if the power factor is above 0.95 lagging. This rule

of keeping the power factor above 0.9 is also applied for Dhaula co-gen. PSPCL gives enegy to a

load of 8.5 MW in coupled mode and 5 MW in decoupled mode.

PSPCL transmits 220KV to Handyaya Grid and then steps it down to 66KV and transmits it to

Sandghera.

There are two transformers of PSPCL. One has a capacity of 12.5/16 MVA, made by Emco. The

other has a capacity of 16/20 MVA, made by Areva. Emco transformer was used before the load

up gradation. It is still kept charged, but not used. It is kept for emergency purposes.

Dhaula co-gen has a total capacity of 49.4 MW. Dhaula is fed 8.5 MW on coupled mode and

12 MW in decoupled mode.

There are separate switch yards for both of these T&D. PSPCL have their own metering CTs,

PTs and Energy Meters. They are sealed and checked once a month when reading for billing

amount is noted.

Coupling of Dhaula and PSPCL

Here at Trident, Sanghera there is a demand of a load of 17MW. This is filled up by PSPCL and

Dhaula co-gen. Both of these powers are coupled together. The bus coupler operates in normal

conditions, but when there is any fault or any of the parameters exceeds the range of normal set

values the bus coupler trips. Then the system runs in de-couple mode. On decouple mode the

load is equally distributed and falls unto 8.5MW onto both of them.

The panels for which feeder are there are:

Unit 1

Unit 2

Unit 3

Unit 4

Unit 5

Gyaanpeeth

The power factor of Unit 1, 2 and 5 remains above 0.95 lagging. This is because they have

capacitor banks installed in them. Since PSPCL bills on power factor also we have kept these

units on PSPCL on de-couple mode. According to the PSPCL rule one has to keep power factor

above 0.9 lagging or else it would be charged a penalty. However incentives would be given if

power factor is above 0.95 lagging.

Unit 3 and 4 do not have capacitor banks. This is because they have too many electrical drives.

Due to this the Total harmonic distortion increases. These harmonics determine the strength of

the capacitor banks. Since, we do not want to jeopardize our capacitor banks these units no

capacitor banks. Dhaula can be run in a low power factor of 0.9 lagging hence we keep them

loaded onto them.

Both of the transformers are fed with a input of 66KV. The transformer gives out a output of

11KV. This then goes to the stand-alone panel and is then fed to charge the bus. Now there are

two busses. One is the Dhaula bus the other is the PSPCL bus. There is a bus tie to trip off a bus

for protection measures. But since the voltage running them is very high i.e. 11KV we cannot

break the circuit directly. This would result in a flash. So first the circuit in broken in the VCB

Page 16: STUDY ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (EMS) IN POWER GRID … · Leveraging business from an expanding product portfolio, Abhishek Industries Limited, the flagship company of the group,

Page | 16

then the bus coupler is tripped. VCB stands for vacuum circuit breaker. Since there is no air at

the time of breaking the circuit the spark produced while breaking would not be transmitted

further. There are actually two bus couplers. We use bus coupler 2 while bus coupler 1 is kept for

emergency purposes.

So in coupled mode the power is distributed proportionately depending what comes from Dhaula

co-gen rest of it is covered by PSPCL.

This SLD below shows the arrangement discussed in coupled mode.This is how it is split.

Currently there is no difference in which feeder serves which feeder, since it is running coupled

condition. But as soon as it would be in decoupled mode the distinction would occur and there

would be two separate circuits then.

Transformer Details

There are three transformers here at power grid. One, is for Dhaula co-gen. The other two are for

PSPCL.

The names of make are following:

Emco transformer (12500/16000 KVA)

Areva Transformer (16000/20000 KVA)

Crompton Greaves (16000/20000 KVA)

The capacity of Emco transformer is less than the others. It was previously used. But after the

load increased on PSPCL we had to buy a new transformer, Areva in order to meet the new

power demands. Emco is still kept charged but it is not used. It is just kept for emergency

purposes now.

Crompton Greaves transformer transforms Dhaula power from 66 KV to 11 KV. The incoming

isover-head while the outgoing is underground. It has a automatic tap changer to control the

voltage and vary the ratio of windings accordingly. It also has Neutral Ground resistor to detect

and ground line to line faults.

Areva is kept on the old switchyard. It was bought recently when the contract demand with

PSPCL exceeded. It is newer machinery than its counterpart Emco. The capacity is also more

than Emco. While Emco has a capacity of 12.5/16MVA, Areva transformer has a capacity of

16/20 MVA. It also has a tap changer to control the voltage. Also it has a NGR to ground its line

to line faults. Here also the incomer is overhead transmission and the outgoing is underground

transmission.

The power after transforming is sent to a standlone panel. This were the main control is there

since it is the spot where the bus is charged. The protection is a VCB since the voltage is very

high and breaking the circuit would result in a flash.

The temperature of the windings and the oil temperature is monitored. It should not exceed a

limit. Moreover water should not get mixed up with the transformer oil. If it does the dielectric

of the oil decreases and is prone to breaking down easily. So to prevent moisture from getting in

Page 18: STUDY ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (EMS) IN POWER GRID … · Leveraging business from an expanding product portfolio, Abhishek Industries Limited, the flagship company of the group,

Page | 18

silica gel is kept. It has a property to soak in moisture. Moreover oil is changed frequently to

avoid it.

The remote tap changer is kept with the transformer. Its function is to keep changing the

windings ratio so that we get the correct voltage. It is automated and easily changes its tap and

voltage variation is avoided.

Learning Energy Management Systems (EMS)

Introduction:

EMS is a very flexible tool for power services. This is basically used to note down the values of

the variables required for substation monitoring. For e.g. Voltage, Current, Power factor etc.

Load management is the process of balancing the supply of electricity on the network with the

electrical load by adjusting or controlling the load rather than the power station output. This can

be achieved by direct intervention of the utility in real time, by the use of frequency sensitive

relays triggering circuit breakers (ripple control), by time clocks, or by using special tariffs to

influence consumer behavior. Load management allows utilities to reduce demand for electricity

during peak usage times, which can, in turn, reduce costs by eliminating the need for peaking

power plants. In addition, peaking power plants also often require hours to bring on-line,

presenting challenges should a plant go off-line unexpectedly. Load management can also help

reduce harmful emission, since peaking plants or backup generators are often dirtier and less

efficient than base load power plants. New load-management technologies are constantly under

development, both by private industry and public entities.

Here at Sanghera’s 66KV sub-station EMS from ‘Conzerv’ has been installed.

It collects or calculates point data that it distributes to:

1. CimView screens

2. Alarm Viewer screens

3. Alarm printers

4. Logging tables

Method of Operation:

This software is scalable from a Human Machine Interface to a fully networked Supervisory

Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The networking capabilities inherent at all

levels within the product line lets to achieve the levels of integration that virtually eliminate

redundant configuration within a network.

Firstly, data is sent by the panel via a communication cable. This is received by ‘Conzerv’

RS485 data converter. It analyses and converts the signal in binary form. This data is further

decoded by the Conzerv software installed in the computer.

This saves a lot of time, manpower and reduces the chances of instrumentation and recording

errors.

Why Should we use EMS?

The reason we are moving on from our traditional way of noting down the readings from energy

meter are as follows.

Suppose we have 32 energy meters to take reading from.

Now we normally measure all the values, current, voltage running load, power factor,

total harmonic distortion and consumption.

It normally takes 2 minutes to cover readings from one energy meter.

Since we have 32 energy meters it would take us 64 minutes to cover all of them.

This means we are taking more than an hour to cover it.

Now suppose we need to write down readings at 6 am and we start on time. We would

cover the last feeder at atleast 7am.

This is a waste of skill of manpower. Worker’s time and skill are wasted.

Page 23: STUDY ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (EMS) IN POWER GRID … · Leveraging business from an expanding product portfolio, Abhishek Industries Limited, the flagship company of the group,

Moreover an error is introduced in the accuracy since the readings were meant to be

taken at 6am but the last feeder is covered 1 hour later.

Advantages:

1. Saves time: Every possible required value is available on the screen at the same time.

Where other meters have a switch to skim through the values, this saves time.

2. Reduced error: All the human errors that could take place while instrumentation or noting

down the values is ruled out. This makes it very reliable

3. Consistency: Sometimes we need values on special time intervals and at specific time for

surveying. This builds up a platform for the same.

4. Record & History: EMS also keeps a record of the past values and stores them for future

reference. A graphical representation for the values is also done.

Brief

The term Energy Management System can also refer to a computer system which is designed

specifically for the automated control and monitoring of those electromechanical facilities in a

building which yield significant energy consumption such as heating, ventilation and lighting

installations. The scope may span from of a single building to a group of buildings such as

university campuses, office buildings, retail stores networks or factories. Most of these energy

management systems also provide facilities for the reading of electricity, gas and water meters.

The data obtained from these can then be used to perform self-diagnostic and optimization

routines on a frequent basis and to produce trend analysis and annual consumption.

There are many such tools to monitor the trends variation and comparison. All of them are

discussed in further pages.

Tools

The tools/functions which ‘Conzerv’

1. Mimics:

As the name suggests this mimic the meters on the panels. A value corresponding to the same

time is displayed on the screen. Since TRIDENT has a big campus/units. It would be difficult to

go to the units again and again to notice/note the values (current, voltage). Moreover fault

detection would be easy and prompt actions can be taken. Sometimes when values of specific

timing are needed, without an EMS it would be difficult. It also keeps a track record in form of a

graph to study the changes in the parameters at anytime.

E.g.

This is a demonstration of mimic of 66 KV main panel – Dhaula.

-Here we can see than we can monitor all the parameters all together on one screen.

2. Matrix:

This tool enlists all the values of the parameters all together and displays them I the form of a

matrix. Values like current; voltage, frequency etc. are represented from all the feeders.

E.g.

This is a demonstration of matrix.

We can clearly see that we can see the comparison of all the parameters all together. If the value of the

parameter is black it means that the communication cable of the the energy meter is loose and is not

reaching the RS 485 converter.

3. Trends

This tool is used to display the variable values of the parameters in the form of graphs. The

feeder is selected and and the graphs such as current, voltage etc. are displayed on the screen.

The representation is dynamic. It means that the values keep on updating and the graph runs live.

The scale selection can also be done. Scale can be varied according to the need.

E.g.

This is a demonstration of trends.

Page | 28

Any of the feeders can be selected and the trends can be observed in a graphical format. The live analysis

can be seen of all the parameters all together. One of the trend is shown in next page.

Trend of Unit 4A DBB:

We can clearly observe the trend of Unit 4A. we have trends of KW, Ampere, line to line voltage

and power factor. It is represented in a graphical format.

Page | 29

4. History:

As we discussed above trends is a function to make graphs of the past records plus the live feed

is also considered. In history function we compare those trends with each other on the same axis.

We can insert any number of parameters and examine the comparison done in graphical form.

For differentiation a clear cut demarcation of separate colors is done so that we can differentiate.

Moreover, a key is made below the graph to demonstrate the color representation

correspondingly.

E.g.

This is a demonstration of history.

5. Reports:

Everyday a report is prepared which contains the variation and measurements of former day

(6am to 6am). An MS excel sheet is formed everyday containing all the information to be

recorded and is saved for future records. It’s a C program coded interface. One just needs to

select the date and click on execute.

E.g. This is a demonstration of history.

How to fill the report?

First the date is set for which we want to make the power report.

Manual entry is done and all the enteries are entered in the next excel sheet.

Execute is clicked and daily report I generated.

The report is the data from last day’s 6am to the filled date’s 6am. The parameters are shown in

graphical format also.

How Decoupling of PSPCL and Dhaula Power looks on EMS

Findings and reports:

The bus coupler tripped earlier this day due to over-current from Dhaula. As seen from the

history. The load was increased onto the PSPCL. The power was then controlled and coupled via

a synchronizer. The even took hardly 16 mins, as seen in the graph after coupling them together

there was a sharp change in the power. This was primarily due to back emf or flow into each

other (i.e. from PSPCL to dhaula and vice versa).

Before decouple Dhaula provided 12MW and PSPCL provided 5MW.

After decouple both Dhaula and PSPCL provided 8.5MW each.

After coupling again the situation was resumed.

Shifting Load of Unit 4A from Dhaula To PSPCL (14-2-12)

How load shift looks on EMS?

Today the engineers from Dhaula called and asked to decrease the load as less power will be

generated. The reasons explained for the same were cited to be some faults in the turbine.

We had to decrease the load by 4MW. Hence it was decided to shift 4a and 4b onto PSEB. Hince

in the picture below we can clearly see that how it has been shifted. Earlier it was on the ABB

feeder from dhaula now it was loaded on ALSTOM feeder onto PSPCL.

The red one denotes the ABB feeder – Dhaula

The green one denotes the ALSTOM feeder – PSPCL

Effect seen on the power changes

As we see the power from Dhaula was initially high as normally we put most of our load at

Dhaula supply. Next we can observe the Dhaula slowly goes down and PSPCL comes up,

keeping the overall power constant.

The red one denotes the PSPCL KW stats

The green one denotes the Dhaula KW stats.

Observation- How could power factor change after step down?

The snapshot of the EMS shows that power factor increases after stepping down the voltage from

66KV to 11KV.

But it was observed that it was not true.

In the 11KV power factor measurement the effect occurring due to the windings of the

transformer were not considered. Since the windings of the transformer would be inductive the

power factor would be low.

Power factor due to transformer winding is included in the 66KV line but not in the 11KV line.

This is why the power factor of 66KV line is coming to be lesser than that of 11KV.

What is a Servo Stabilizer?

The Servo Stabilizers uses an advanced electronic servo-motor concept to control a motorized

variable transformer.Because of the motorization, there is a small delay in voltage correction.

However, output voltage accuracy is usually ± 1% with input voltage changes up to ± 50%.

These machines are not affected unduly by power factor or frequency variation. This type of

technology tends to be extremely effective when considering large three phase applications, as it

is able to maintain its accuracy of all three phases, both line to line and line to neutral,

irrespective of input voltage balance and load balance at any power factor. They are also able to

withstand large inrush currents, normally experienced with inductive loads. However due to the

mechanics of this type of stabilizer, periodic maintenance is required.

Various Design Topologies:-

Single Phase Input & Single Phase Output:

This type of servo stabilizer consists of an AC synchronous motor coupled with an Auto

Transformer using gears. Now depending upon the input fluctuation, the servo motors

adjusts the output of the Auto-transformer to provide a stabilized output. Its application is

where input supply & load output are single phase operated.

Three Phase Input & Three Phase Output- Balanced Load

This type of servo stabilizer consists of an AC synchronous motor coupled with three

Auto Transformer using a shaft & compatible gears. Now depending upon the input

fluctuation, the servo motors adjusts the output of the Auto-transformer to provide a

stabilized output. Its application is where input supply is three phase & output required at

load is balanced in all 3 phases.

Three Phase Input & Three Phase Output- Unbalanced Load

This type of servo stabilizer consists of three independent

AC synchronous motors coupled with three Auto Transformer using a shaft & compatible

gears. Now depending on the fluctuation, the servo motors adhust the output of the auto-

transformer to provide a stabilized output.

Working

Servo voltage stabilizers save the life of costlier appliances, CNC machines, electrical equipment, medical

equipment, motors lab equipment etc. through connecting AC voltage which is not stabilized, and dips

at one point of time and at other point of time rises to very high value. The principle of operating Servo

Stabilizer involves comparing the output voltage with built in stable reference voltage source. The solid

state control circuit operates the motor whenever the output voltage falls or rises beyond the preset

voltage.

Precisely engineered to perfection, our servo voltage stabilizer features a solid state circuit to control

the servo motor. The motor is mechanically attached to the arm of a continuously variable auto

transformer which feeds to the primary of a series control buck boost transformer. The stabilizer output

voltage is compared with the reference voltage & resultant error signal controls the Servo Motor

providing true proportional control systems rather than on/ off circuit.

Overview

IOL building was fed by unit 4 directly. Since it would be directly fed by the industrial supply,

after all the voltage drops, a voltage of around 420 is received (line to line). This comes out to be

around 242V (=420/1.732). All the lighting equipments are rated to perform their best in 220 V.

An exceeded value of 22V would not only increase the consumption but also put a burden on the

system.

To avoid thus a servo-stabilizer was installed in the building. It was tried and experimented at

which voltage the results were ought to come most efficient. At high voltage of 230 V, high

consumption was observed. Even at low voltage of 210V high current was drawn, thus high

consumption was observed.

Setting it at 220 V gave the most economical results. A stand-by feeding from unit three is also

done, to bye-pass in case some accident happens at the stabilizer end. The SLD of the same has

been mentioned below.

Certain facts discussed:

Input supply of 410-415 V (3 phase AC-line to line) which falls around 240V line to

neutral.

Lighting loads are rated to work efficiently at 220 V.

Power consumption is directly proportional to the voltage

More the voltage, more will be the power consumption

Decreasing the voltage beyond 220V reduces the intensity of the light.

Research says that Intensity of 450 lumens is fit for office.

Decreasing the voltage will decrease the intensity.

Hence we come across an idea to reduce the power consumption.

Firstly the load was run after bye-passing the servo stabilizer. The running load came out to be

28.35KW on a voltage of 230V. Then the servo was taken into line and the voltage was reduced

down to 202V. A clear trend of falling KW was seen onto this voltage. This can be explained by

proportion of voltage to current, which led to decrease in the power used. Here it can be

observed that clearly the trend of falling running load can be observed.

The Energy meter is connected at the incoming. Pump no. 4, Air conditioners and

Lighting supply all come under it.

Pump no. 4 was not used for few days. Instead of it pump no. 3 was used.

In march pump no. 4 was not used since it was out of order.

Air conditioners were not used in the winters. So a clear idea cannot be made

It cannot be compared with last year’s data because last year the connected load was too

less. Many offices have been opened recently.

Clearly the trend of energy consumption can still be observed. With the reduction in

running current by bye passing the servo once and then later taking it in line.

So, we would consider the running load analysis to be accurate enough to calculate our

savings.

Project 2: Installing a servo-stabilizer in Woodland Guest House

A servo-stabilizer installed Woodland Guest House lighting load.

Date: 24th February 2012

Capacity: 30 KVA

Company: Muskaan’s

History:

Servo was initially in line but after loading AC’s it was bye-passed.

Load Analysis of connected load was done.

Reason:

Installing AC’s in Woodland-boys could result in the over-loading servo, hence

resulting in a flash.

So it was avoided to jeopardize our servo. We did a load study before taking it back

into the line.

Deductions:

Lighting load is under 30 KVA

A new cable was dug in and geysers and AC’s would be fed by it.

This cable would not be under Servo-stabilizer’s load.

Now only the lighting load of Woodland would be fed under a stabilizer.

Previous SLD of Woodland Supply

The bus bar to the woodland DB is charged by unit 1 supply. A cable picks up the charge. A

change over switch is there to choose whether want to keep the servo in line or use it in a bye-

pass mode. Initially it was in line but after the installation of air conditioners in woodland boys it

was decided to use it in bye-pass mode. This outgoing from servo used to feed boys and girls’

lighting and geyser loads. The capacity of the servo stabilizer is 30 KVA. The load onto the

servo stabilizer is under the total capacity. For this the total connected load should be less than

the capacity. However certain margin should be kept to consider overloading.

So a new 4 core cable was decided to be fed just for the geyser and the AC loads of the girls and

boys hostel.

New SLD of Woodland Supply

This is what the new arrangement was transformed to. Now from now the new cable was feeding

boys’ and girls’ geysers and the air conditioners in boys’ guest house. Whereas the old cable

would be feeding the lighting loads. The servo was now taken into line via the changeover

switch. The bye-pass was still kept in case the servo fails sometime in future so that supply to

the guest house still continues.

The load balancing on each phase was also done from the woodland’s end. Initially more load

was on y phase which was balanced. Moreover the new cable was fed to the geyser and AC

loads.

Savings Calculations

Since there was no energy meter on the lighting load we decided to analyze the load from a load

manager. A three day study onto it was done. It was kept in mind that the analysis should be

done on weekdays. Since there used to be very marginal load on the weekends since very few

people used to be there in the hostel.

Project 3 – Reduction in Downtime via Thermography

Thermography has a long history, although its use has increased dramatically with the

commercial and industrial applications of the past fifty years. Government and airport personnel

used thermography to detect suspected swine flu cases during the 2009 pandemic.

1. Firefighters use thermography to see through smoke, to find persons, and to localize the

base of a fire. Maintenance technicians use thermography to locate overheating joints and

sections of power lines, which are a sign of impending failure. Building construction

technicians can see thermal signatures that indicate heat leaks in faulty thermal insulation

and can use the results to improve the efficiency of heating and air-conditioning units.

Some physiological changes in human beings and other warm-blooded animals can also

be monitored with thermal imaging during clinical diagnostics.

Page 53: STUDY ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (EMS) IN POWER GRID … · Leveraging business from an expanding product portfolio, Abhishek Industries Limited, the flagship company of the group,

Page | 53

2. Specialized thermal imaging cameras use focal plane arrays (FPAs) that respond to

longer wavelengths (mid- and long-wavelength infrared). Their resolution is considerably

lower than that of optical cameras, mostly 160x120 or 320x240 pixels, up to 640x512 for

the most expensive models. Thermal imaging cameras are much more expensive than

their visible-spectrum counterparts, and higher-end models are often export-restricted due

to the military uses for this technology.

Thermal Energy

A thermal imaging camera is capable of performing algorithms to interpret that data and build an

image. Although the image shows the viewer an approximation of the temperature at which the

object is operating, the camera is actually using multiple sources of data based on the areas

surrounding the object to determine that value rather than detecting the actual temperature. This

phenomenon may become clearer upon consideration of the formula

Incident Energy = Emitted Energy + Transmitted Energy + Reflected Energy

Here Incident Energy is the energy profile when viewed through a thermal imaging camera.

Emitted Energy is generally what is intended to be measured. Transmitted Energy is the energy

that passes through the subject from a remote thermal source. Reflected Energy is the amount of

energy that reflects off the surface of the object from a remote thermal source.

If the object is radiating at a higher temperature than its surroundings, then power transfer will be

taking place and power will be radiating from warm to cold following the principle stated in the

Second Law of Thermodynamics. So if there is a cool area in the thermogram, that object will be

absorbing the radiation emitted by the warm object. The ability of both objects to emit or absorb

this radiation is called emissivity. Under outdoor environments, convective cooling from wind

may also need to be considered when trying to get an accurate temperature reading.

Page 54: STUDY ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (EMS) IN POWER GRID … · Leveraging business from an expanding product portfolio, Abhishek Industries Limited, the flagship company of the group,

Page | 54

Use in the industries for Electrical circuits

The thermo gram shows a fault with an industrial electrical fuse block. The thermal imaging

camera would next employ a series of mathematical algorithms. Since the camera is only able to

see the electromagnetic radiation that is impossible to detect with the human eye, it will build a

picture in the viewer and record a visible picture, usually in a JPG format. In order to perform the

role of noncontact temperature recorder, the camera will change the temperature of the object

being viewed with its emissivity setting. Other algorithms can be used to affect the measurement,

including the transmission ability of the transmitting medium (usually air) and the

temperature of that transmitting medium. All these settings will affect the ultimate output for the

temperature of the object being viewed. This functionality makes the thermal imaging camera an

excellent tool for the maintenance of electrical and mechanical systems in industry and

commerce. By using the proper camera settings and by being careful when capturing the image,

electrical systems can be scanned and problems can be found. Faults with steam traps in steam

heating systems are easy to locate.

Difference between infrared film and thermography

IR film is sensitive to infrared (IR) radiation in the 250°C to 500°C range, while the range of

thermography is approximately -50°C to over 2,000°C. So, for an IR film to show something, it

must be over 250°C or be reflecting infrared radiation from something that is at least that hot.

Night vision infrared devices image in the near-infrared, just beyond the visual spectrum, and

can see emitted or reflected near-infrared in complete visual darkness. Starlight-type night vision

devices generally only magnify ambient light.

Advantages of thermography

It shows a visual picture so temperatures over a large area can be compared

It is capable of catching moving targets in real time

It is able to find deteriorating, i.e., higher temperature components prior to their failure

It can be used to measure or observe in areas inaccessible or hazardous for other methods

It is a non-destructive test method

For electrical circuits one does not have to swtich them off.

It can be used to find defects in shafts, pipes, and other metal or plastic parts

It can be used to detect objects in dark areas

Page | 55

Limitations of thermography

Quality cameras often have a high price range, the one used in trident was Rs. 10 lakh

(Flir make)

Accurate temperature measurements are hindered by differing emissivity and reflections

from other surfaces

Most cameras have ±2% accuracy or worse in measurement of temperature and are not as

accurate as contact methods

Only able to directly detect surface temperatures (So one cannot see if there is a

hotspot inside the equipment. E.g. transformer)

What is thermography from electrical point of view?

Hot-spots are analyzed via an infra-red camera.

All the lose worn connections get heated up.

Reason: (Current/cross section area) becomes less leading to heating up.

We know,

R α L/A

Where L is the length and A is the cross section area. Since here A is less the resistance

increases.

Heating power P α R (P=I*I*R)

Hence, the hot-spot gets heated.

Page 56: STUDY ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (EMS) IN POWER GRID … · Leveraging business from an expanding product portfolio, Abhishek Industries Limited, the flagship company of the group,

Page | 56

How are Hotspots detected?

Every body in this universe emits an infra-red radiation proportional to the amount of

heat it has.

IR camera picks up the radiations and tells the temperature of the body

It hence displays the temperature on its screen.

Reasons To Remove them?

So-called hot spots are hot terminal connections that negatively affect your electrical

system in several ways.

First is wasted energy: Hot spots bleed electrical current, reducing the efficiency of

the system and costing you more.

When the electrical connection actually fails, and the connections separate, an arc

will melt most metals.

Why not a laser gun?

A laser gun shows average temperature over a range of area. It cannot detect hotspots.

Moreover range of laser gun(1 m) is very less as compared to that of an IR camera

(10 m)

What can be scanned during a thermography inspection?

• Electrical switch gear, breakers, bus connections, and contacts

• Transformer connections

• Mechanical couplings on rotating equipment

• Process piping and heat exchangers

• Compressor heads

• Motor and generator connections, windings, feeders and excitors

• Bearings

• Friction in drive gears and drive belts

• Refractory systems

• Steam traps and piping insulation

• Tank levels and insulation problems

Thermography at Trident

On 23rd February 2012 a service Engineer from Masibus Co. was hired to do the 3 day Thermography

study. The cost of the camera is around Rs. 10 lakh. Thermography is usually done once a year.It was

also a sample testing of the camera as it was a new thing, it was also learnt how to use it.

The picture above shows one of the transmission and distribution towers tested during

thermography. On the left is the normal photograph of the tower. On the tigt we can see the

thermography analysis of the tower. The square box is the analyzer box, this is the area which is

monitored for hot spot. The red cursor automatically points at the most heated point in the box.

On the top we can see the value of the temperature of the hotspot. Here is the example the value

105 degree Celsius is flashed. On the right hand side the key for variation of colors with respect

to the temperature is shown.

The spectrum and amount of thermal radiation depend strongly on an object's surface

temperature. This makes it possible for a thermal imaging camera to display an object's

temperature. However, other factors also influence the radiation, which limits the accuracy of

this technique. For example, the radiation depends not only on the temperature of the object, but

is also a function of the emissivity of the object. Also, radiation originates from the surroundings

and is reflected in the object, and the radiation from the object and the reflected radiation will

also be influenced by the absorption of the atmosphere.

What if it had failed?

The jumper could have failed leading to PSPCL failuire.

We rely on 50% of our energy requirement(8.5 MW) on PSPCL at de-coupled mode.

This would have brought a downtime of at least 2.5 hours.

Project 4: Reduction in Downtime via Interlocking

A tripping occurred since the Areva panels had a tripping command system if the DC supply

failed. This was removed by removing that function from the panel and an alarm using a

contractor with a reset operation was made. For future purposes a downtime of 60 minutes was

avoided.

On 3rd March 2012 DC input supply had failed. There was no alarming system to indicate this

fault. There is a emergency battery tank to supply DC in case the DC input fails. So that day the

battery started to discharge. When the battery was discharged no DC supply was going. The

areva Panels had a protection system to trip in case there is no DC supply. So the master relay of

all the Areva panels tripped. The main amongst them was the Unit 5 south and Incomer no 3

panels. Incomer 3 was the main feeder of the PSPCL., which had tripped now. The load was now

directly on the Dhaula supply now. Since all the units were now loaded on Dhaula, it went

overloaded. So the bus coupler tripped off to avoid overloading. It was now running in Decouple

mode.

Load put on PSPCL and Dhaula when

Decoupled

Unit 1 PSPCL

Unit 2 PSPCL

Unit 3 Dhaula

Unit 4 Dhaula

Unit 5 (north) PSPCL

Unit 5 (south) PSPCL

Gyanpeeth PSPCL

So there was now no supply to Unit 1,2,5 south and gyaanpeeth. They were shut down, while

unit 3 and unit 4 operated normally as before.

Implications:

There was a downtime of about 60 minutes.

Now it was decided to make a hooter alarm to indicate a fault if DC fails in future.

Circuit Working

K1 is contactor connected to the MCB output. As soon as the DC fails the K1 gets picked

up.

Now the hooter circuit is fed by UPS supply which is always there.

Both K1 and K2 are normally closed so the hooter starts ringing.

To accept the fault there is a push button which is normally open.

Now as soon as we push the button it becomes closed and contactor K2 gets picked up

Since k2 is normally closed it now the hooter stops to ring.

The entire circuit is restored to original position.

Savings Calculations

Now if the DC fails the Hooter will show the fault.

There is also a ‘Reset Button’ to accept the fault and bring it back to normal condition.

This is not a onetime saving it is applicable for the future also.

Load loss per hour 70,000 INR

Breakdown on

transmission line will

create breakdown for

hours:

60 minutes

Total savings 70,000.00 INR

Now Downtime of Unit 1, 2, 5 and Gyaanpeeth from DC failure can be avoided.

Hooter would run and action can be taken in time.

For future purposes a downtime of 60 minutes was avoided.

A a reset operation is introduced to accept the fault.

Project 5: Reduction in Power consumption of H-plant in Unit 5

Unit 5 produces cotton yarn. The temperature controlling is very important. For making thread

out of cotton, it is important that the cotton has long fibers. So while brushing the cotton a little

hot temperature is required for the strength purposes of the cotton fiber. To control it there is a

H-plant which regulates the temperature and the humidity of the unit. We can now control it.

An effort was made to reduce the power consumption of the H-plant.

Introduction

IMPORTANCE OF RH AND TEMPERATURE:

The atmospheric conditions with respect to temperature and humidity play very important part in

the manufacutring process of textile yarns and fabrics. The properties like dimensions, weight,

tensile strength, elastic recovery, electrical resistance, rigidity etc. of all textile fibre whether

natural or synthetic are influenced by Moisture Regain. Moisture regain is the ratio of the

moisture to the bone-dry weight of the material expressed as a percentage. Many properties of

textile materials vary considerably with moisture regain, which in turn is affected by the ambient

Relative Humidity (RH) and Temparature. If a dry textile material is placed in a room with a

particualr set of ambient conditions, it absorbs moisture and in course of time, attains an

equilibrium. Some physical properties of textile materials which is affected by RH is given

below:

Strength of COTTON goes up when R.H.% goes up

Strength of VISCOSE goes down when R.H.% goes up

Elongation %ge goes up with increased R.H.% for most textile fibers

the tendency for generation of static electricity due to friction decreases as RH goes up

At higher levels of RH , there is also a tendency of the fibers to stick together

Temperature alone does not have a great effect on the fibers. However the temperature

dictates the amount of moisture the air will hold in suspension. Therefore, temperature

and humidity must be considered together.

The following components are a must in a Humidification system:

Return Air and Supply Air fans

Air washer

Exhaust damper

Fresh air damper

S.A. fans stands for supply air fans

Working

The volume of air rejected from unit 5 is E and the volume of air taken from H-plant to unit is B.

C is the reverse air that is redirected again into unit 5. D is the volume of air rejected from h-

plant into the environment. Whereas A is the fresh air which is taken from the surroundings into

the H-plant. There are dampers between the environment and H-plant whose angles determine

how much fresh air would be taken in. B is the air which is cumulative of C and A. A is

determined by the angle of opening of dampers and C is regulated by the R.A. fans. So the

temperature inside the unit is regulated.

Example

If we want the emperature inside the unit to be 40degrees, the temperature outside in the

environment is 20 degrees and the temperature of ait through reverse fan is 50 degrees. We

would set the dampers in such a way that the the ratio of volume of C to A would be 0.66

40 = 50x + 20(1-x)

x=0.66

So more of reverse air would be taken and less of supply air.

Temperature controlling parameter

The drives were used in a periodic manner. The temperature was cooled first. When it

exceeded the set-point it would shut down. Again when temperature increased it would

start.

So tuning was decided to be done to use the it in a uniform manner.

RPM = 120f/p

o RPM= 120f/2

RPM α f

Hence the temperature is controlled

So it was decided to vary frequency and use it in uniform manner.

For Humidity

Humidity was controlled by sprinklers after the S.A fan there was a Chamber from

where the air passes. Water is sprinkled onto it via a pump to control the moisture

level in the air.

This also brings some amount of temperature change in the air.

This effect is also considered on setting down the ratio of air to be taken from the

outside to the reverse air.

For R.H. the pump is used at same frequency.

Hence there is no effect in the humidity.

The entire system would now run in more of a systematic pattern.

Savings Calculations

The frequency of the R.A fan was changed from 45Hz to 38Hz.

This brought a change of 7.1KW on the running load of one fan.

The frequency of the S.A fan was changed from 46Hz to 42Hz.

This brought a change of running load of 5KW on running load of one fan.

A total saving of 48.4KW was done on the running load.

This is a breakthrough in saving power consumption.

25,43,904 INR per Year

A total of Rs. 25,43,904 is expected to be the profit at the end of the year.

This is also not a onetime saving. It would be applicable for the future also.

Result:

1. Reduction in variation of temperature and humidity.

2. Reduction in power Consumption.

3. Reduction in frequent operation of dampers.

What is a load Manager?

A load manager is like a portable digital energy meter. In industry it is very important to monitor

the energy parameters to use machines at full efficiency. But it is not possible to install an energy

meter everywhere. So a load manager is used to monitor the energy parameters. It has a main

screen head where all the parameters are displayed, 3 current transformers, and 3 crocodile clips

connected with main head through connecting wires for voltage monitoring.

The parameters monitored are:

Volt line to line

Voltage line to neutral

Amperes

P.F. /cos∅

kW

kVA

kVAR

Hz

kWh

kvarh

Peak kVA

Total harmonic distortion in voltage

Total harmonic distortion in current

Total KVAh consumption

Total KWh consumption

Total KVARh consumption.

All of these monitoring is done on each phase i.e R,Y,B and even average value is also

accounted. The values are viewed on the main head.

Advantages

There are many diverse advantages of a portable analyzer for the user. The most important is

information.

With the information from a single entry, we can find out:

Habits of use to ensure that the contracted tariffs are the most suitable.

Response of an installation's load to see how it affects the rest of the installation, startup, shutdown or normal operation of the various charges.

Angles of each of the loads for the analysis of reactive power, therefore avoiding penalties.

Measuring leakage currents that trigger unwanted tripping of the differential current protection relays.

Measurement of the harmonics.

Getting to know the demand for our installation to determine if the power that the user has contracted is suitable.

Save on electrical energy costs.

Prevent shut-downs of the installation.

Testing the Self-Made Load Manager

Comparison

A test was done on Woodland Guest house D.B. Both company made load manager and self-made load

manager were applied and the values of parameters were compared. For the self-made load manager the

voltage was measured using connecting wires and crocodile clips. The auxiliary supply for the energy

meter was picked up in a loop from one of the phase. The CTs were also enclosed around the Bus bar.

Same thing was done for the load manager bought from the company. The company made load manager

had a plug for its auxiliary supply. The company made load manager even had a battery for its auxiliary.

It was kept connected for 3 days. It was kept in mind that a weekend didn’t come during one of the load

study day.

There currents and voltages were compared with an actual load manager.

There results were not same, but still close.

Observations

Current (A) Error %

Voltage (V) Error %

Current on load manager 10 10 220 0

Current on self made Load manager

9 220

Implications:

Voltages shown were identical.

Current readings did not match.

Current fluctuated sometimes and gave a zero reading.

So don’t we have buy Load Managers Anymore?

No, we still have to buy load managers. The customization available in a company’s load manager a lot

than we have it coming on the self-made load manager. In a company’s load manager we have graphical

analysis of every parameter. Moreover, data can be saved onto it. On the other hand in the self-made load

manager there is a single button to scroll along the parameters. A graphical solution is not available here

and no data can be saved onto it.
