INTRODUCTION OF VTPS
1. INTRODUCTION OF DR.NTTPS (VTPS) Food, clothing and shelter were the basic needs of mankind till lately but now we can say electricity has become a part of basic needs. Life without electricity has become unimaginable. There are three ways for the generation of electricity thermal, hydel under nuclear. In India, majority of the power is produced utilizing thermal energy Dr. N T T P S came into existence in 1977 in between Ibrahimpatnam & Kondapalli villages. It is unique in its layout and numerous authors expects such as easy operation and maintenance. There are three stages in Dr.NTTPS the total capacity of the three stages her is 1260MW. This report gives a detailed report about the various equipment and their working in the switch yard

SWITCH YARD: INTRODUCTION The system in the 220KV switch yard at VTPS receives electrical power from 6*210 MW and other inflows like, Bheemadole (100 MW),Kothakota and LANCO (200 MW), via incoming transmission lines and delivers electrical power via the outgoing transmission lines to varies substations namely Podili(2) Tallapalli(2) Nunna (2) Tadikonda (2) Kondapalli (2) Gunadala (1) Bheemadole (1) Vijjeswaram (1) Narketpalli (1), and Chilakallu (1). Though the generation at VTPS is 1260 MW, only 1200 MW will tag on to the switch-yard.The rest is utilized for auxiliary consumption.

EQUIPEMENTS IN SWITCH YARD

An electrical substation is an assemblage of electrical components including bus bars Isolators circuit breakers transformers lighting arresters instrument transformers.etc.

The switch-yard comprises of the following equipment: 28 bays which include 6GTs,5 STs, 2 bypass, one bus coupler and 15 feeders. Station battery system. Centralized air conditioning system with connecting switchgear.

INSULATORS o The flexible ACSR conductors of transmission line and substation bus burs are supported on string insulators. The rigid tubular bus bars in SS are supported on Solid insulators/post insulators. Materials used for insulators o Ceramic (Porcelain, Steatite) o Glass-fiber reinforced epoxy resin rod covered by sheds made of silicon-rubber) o PROPRETIES OF INSULATORS: o High Electrical resistance of insulator material in order to avoid leakage currents to earth. o High Mechanical strength to with stand conductor load, wind load etc. o It should be non porous and free from impurities and cracks. o High ratio of puncture strength to flashover.

Three distinct types of Insulators are used in transmission systems and substations: String Insulators (Suspension or tension) for supporting ACSR or AAAC conductors. The string insulator consists of several identical Ball and socket type disc insulators in series with end fitting on across arm side and conductor side. a) Solid post insulators. Are used in the following applications and named accordingly. Post Insulators for support Shaft insulators Operating rod insulators Hollow porcelain insulator for transformers bushing, SF6 GIS bushing, CTs, CVTS, PTs, CBs chambers. For DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS & SS: Pin type insulator (for LT & HT) Shackle insulators Safety insulators The important requirement of air-insulation and porcelain insulators in EHV substations and transmission lines are

BUS BARS
The choice of the bus bars scheme for a substation depends upon the degree of reliability and economic justification. The degree of reliability is evaluated by determining the continuity of service and possible faults. TYPES OF BUS BARS ARRANGEMENTS:

SINGLE BUSBAR ARRANGEMENT SSSSSSSSI

This system is used for 132 KV substations. It is cheapest among all the others bus bars. It is totally shut down in case of a fault.

DOUBLE BUS BARS:

This system is costlier then a single bus bars system. One bus can serve as reserve, which is used during maintenance or fault. It is used for 220 KV sub stations.

DOUBLE BUS BAR WITH TRANSFER BUS This system has additional flexibility for operation. We can take shut down on a breaker without interrupting the transmission line. It is used for critical 220KV substation.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Circuit breaker is automatic switching device which can carrying normal current and switching in & out normal loads Interrupt short circuiting currents Able to performer auto reclose duty. Classification of Circuit breaker: Based on VOLTAGE Low-less than 1kv Medium-1kv to 52kv High/Extra High-66kv to 765kv Ultra High-above 765kv

Based on LOCATION Indoor Outdoor Based on INTERRUPTING MEDIUM Air breakAir break Circuit breaker(ACB) Air blastAir blast Circuit breaker..(ABCB) Bulk oil.. Bulk oil Circuit breaker.(BOCB) Minimum oil..Minimum oil Circuit breaker.(MOCB) SF6 gas insulated.SF6 Circuit breaker Vacuum Vacuum Circuit breaker(VCB) Selection of a CB depends on: Type of application Rated voltage, current Its breaking capacity(fault level of the installation) Auto-reclose duty cycle

SF6 CIRCUIT BREAKER

Opening operation: Opening is affected by pulling the insulating rod (201), piston rod (111), puffer cylinder (110) moving contact, moving arc contact (107) and the nozzle (105).After contacts wipe the stationary and moving and contact (104), (107) separate, there by generating arc. During down ward movement the gas in puffer chamber builds up and high pressure gas flows through nozzle and quenches the arc. Closing Operation: In closing operation, insulating rod (201) is pulled up and the parts move in the reverse direction of opening operation. And also SF6 gas taken in to puffer chamber.

ADVANTAGES OF SF6 CB
Mostly widely used in EHV application Low operating noise Simple construction & compact size Easy installation, inspection & maintenance. SF6 is identified as a green house gas.

INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS
INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS: Current transformer Potential transformer Current transformer: Current transformer are used for supplying the current circuits of indicating instruments (ammeters, watt meters etc) recording meters (energy meters etc) and protective relays.

 CT is ideally a short circuited transformer where the secondary terminal voltage is zero, and the magnetizing current is negligible. Ip*Np =Is*Ns Ratio error Phase angle error Composite error

All voltage transformer are designed for a standard secondary voltage of 110v, 110/1.732 (63.5) For voltage transformers at the following is valid: Ep/Es=Np/Ns Actual voltage ratio =Primary volts/secondary volts Voltage transformer errors: A) voltage ratio error B) Phase angle error. The errors at which the VTs operate depend on its burden and primary voltage

POWER LINE CARRIER COMMUNICATION (PLCC)

PLCC is economical and reliable method of communication system. The Equipment in a PLCC system are : 1. Trap (Wave trap) 2. Coupling capacitor 3. Earth switch 4. Drainage coil 5. Lighting arrester 6. Line matching unit Carrier wave in PLCC is radio frequency waves of frequencies between 20KHZ to500KHZ.

PLCC SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

ADVATAGES OF PLCC
Because of thick lines, attenuation of signal is less. Leakage of signal is negligible as lines are insulated with H.V string insulators. It is economical, as the same power line is used for communication, without additional cable. Disruption is less. Corona ring provided to maintain the RIV voltage levels low and within specified limits.

TASKS OF THE SWITCH YARD: A). Protection of transmission system (To isolate faulty network from the healthy one). B). Controlling the exchange of power (i.e.to control the power transmission to load points as per requirements). C). Maintain the system frequency within targeted limits (this can be done by rising /lowering of generation or load scheduling) D). Determination of power transfer through transmission lines. E). Fault analysis and subsequent improvement

CONCLUSION
