1. Low Voltage (LV) Systems, General Low voltage systems in a power station provides power for all electro-mechanical and electrical auxiliary systems. These are normally systems for turbine, generator, water/steam cycle, cooling water, water treatment plant, ventilation and air-conditioning, building lighting and electrical installations within buildings. These systems represent the major portion of a plant and arew operated with Normal Power. Normal Power means that during undisturbed operation of the plant power is available. However while a power failure occur all systems come to a standstill. Except another supply source is available through change over. In the following the feeding philosophy of the Normal Power Supply system shall be introduced as well as typical feeder schemes such as incoming feeder, bus coupler, motor feeders and cable feeder. These typicals are representative for the majority of all circuits. Guided by a number of drawing-cutouts different circuits diagrams shall be introduced and discussed.

This cutout of the OSLD represents a general configuration of the normal power supply system of the entire plant. It includes Normal Power Supply with 11 kV bus system, step-down auxiliary transformers and several 415 V busses. Normal power in this case is provided by 11 kV bus P22BBA. .Via step-down transformer P22BFT30bus system P22BFC is supplied with power. Its a 415 VAC bus dedicated to provide auxiliary power for generator GT 4. In case that power is lost at P22BBA high speed bus transfer switching closes both bus coupler circuit breakers and transfer power of P21BBA to P22BBA Power is restored. In case that did not work the next choice would be to start the emergency diesel units. The third possibility is eventually manual switching and connecting the neighboring switchgear P12BBA. with P21BBA.. But please keep in mind that only three bus systems can be connected together.
3. LV SWG (switchgear), Normal Power Bus Systems These switchgear cubicles are metal clad, metal enclosed switchgear types with retractable control and power modules as symbolized below.

5. Wiring, Functions and Operation

Schematic Diagram of Incoming Feeder and Bus Tie
(single line diagram)
Single line diagram is always useful to get a quick overview about a system and/or sub-system because it provides already at one glance information about functions, installed components, sub-circuits and interlocking features. Monitor screens at operation and control center are programmed this way and show single lines only. This specific single line represents incoming- and bus tie circuit breakers of a low voltage system. The dotted line between all three circuit breaker control and protection units indicates that these CBs are interlocked together. The control unit at the tie breaker is a automatic transfer controller. A closer look reveals that both incoming CBs are closed during normal (undisturbed) operation and tie breaker is in Open position. However if one of the two incoming CBs opens, due to a power failure upstream of one of the incoming CB, the tie breaker closes automatically and restore power on the disturbed bus. The system works the other way around too, if energy is back upstream the OPEN incoming feeder, the incoming feeder closes and tie breaker opens automatically. All Both incoming feeders and tie breaker are equipped with local and remote I/U monitoring facilities. Signals are transmitted via DCS to OCC.

7. Earthing, Grounding Low voltage systems have beside the neutral conductor (said also N conductor) a protective conductor (said also PE, PEN-conductor). This conductor is by standard marked with green and yellow tape or sleeve. Construction of a power station begins usually with excavation works for civil construction. During this period electricians begin to install a earthing mat or ring earth cable in the entire area. Cross section of these cables is 70 to 95 mm square. The cables are installed approx. 70 to 90 cm deep underground. Each building has its own grounding system, which is made of construction rebars. Building earth and outer ring earth or earth mat will be electrically connected. Finally switchgear earth will be connected to the building earth. Though at the end all components and single earth systems built together an entire earth system with an unique potential. With an unhurt earthing system step- or touch potential does not exists.

As with low voltage installations AC and DC systems contain hazardous voltages. As soon as a door is opened the danger exists to get into contact with hazardous voltages. Any operation or service work inside the system must only be carried out by qualified, authorized and trained personnel. Extreme caution should be exercised at all times. Certain parts within the switchgear might still be alive even if the system is shut down. Before any part is touched the circuit diagram must be studied and measurements must be taken with an instrument.
Qualified personnel are technically instructed persons who, because of their training, experience and position as well as their knowledge of appropriate standards, regulations, health and safety requirements and working conditions, are authorized to be responsible for the safety of the equipment, at all times whilst carrying out their normal duties and are therefore aware of, and can report possible hazards.

The UPS or Uninterrupted Power Supply system however provide mainly power for vital systems and components, which are essential to operate the plant efficient and reliable and with the highest possible availability. These systems are at least control- and monitoring-, protection-and computer systems, communication- and CCTV systems. In the following the feeding philosophy of the UPS system shall be introduced as well as typicals of incoming feeders, bus coupler, individual feeders, control, interlocking, protection, monitoring and signaling. Guided by a number of drawing-cutouts different circuits diagrams shall be introduced and discussed.

This cutout of the OSLD represents a general configuration of the emergency power supply system of the entire plant. It includes Normal Power Supply and Emergency Power, Vital Power as there is UPS power and 110 VDC via the battery. Normal power and emergency power is in this particular case the same bus. Its the Common 415VAC bus, P00BMCand P00BMD., which are supplied by the common 11 kV busses, P00BBC.and P00BBD., which are on the other hand supplied by 11 kV busses P31BBA.and P41BBA.., which is also 11 kV main level. Thus Normal Power is provided to all these busses during undisturbed operation. Just in case that power is lost at one of these busses at the main level, than emergency power supply can be activated. There are at least three choices to reconfigure the 11kV system supply. One is fast transfer switching from one bus to the other bus by HSBT- device, which can be done automatically within a fraction of a second. But it is still normal power. The next choice is starting the emergency diesel units and automatic HSBT- switching, because the diesel feeder is located at the opposite bus, which is P32BBA whereby the cable feeder for P00BBC. Is located at bus P31BBA.. The third choice is eventually manual switching and connecting the neighboring switchgear P22BBA. with P31BBA.. But please keep in mind that only three bus systems can be connected together. Just in case that all three actions fail, the operation time of the UPS system, respectively the vital power supply, is limited by the condition and capacity of the battery at the time being.

However if one of the two incoming CBs is open, the tie breaker can be closed that means that never two inverters may operated in parallel via tie breaker. Further to the above both incoming feeders have voltage monitoring and a over voltage trip functions integrated, which is used for automatic switching. Thus in case that one incoming feeder fails, the bus tie closes within a fraction of a second.

This diagram is a typical single line feeder diagram representing miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) with thermal and magnetic protection trip function. Thermal trip works with longtime power overload. Magnetic protection trip function is a short circuit trip release function. Both are indicated by the two rectangular boxes below circuit breaker. Although the bus bar consists of three phases, the feeders are single phase (240 VAC) feeders used for small power sub-panel supply as well as provision of power for local measurement- and recording equipment e.g.. Wiring Diagram for same Feeders
This diagram shows the internal wiring of CBs. As a standard rule the manufacturer uses 3 phase MCBs only although single phase MCBs would have been sufficient too. The advantage of the circuit is that by using three contacts in series the arc quenching capability is tripled. The second wire (neutral) is taken from a local N-bus nearby the load.

Wiring Diagram for Single Phase Feeders
This diagram is a typical wiring scheme for single phase power supply. Different from the previous scheme is that the neutral wire is wired via the MCB and thus is switched too. As well here are 3phase MCBs installed although single phase MCB would have been sufficient. These feeders are mainly used to feed small sub-distribution panels. To keep the spare parts stock low it is a good idea to use the same kind of MCB all over.

Above wiring diagram is a typical scheme usually installed either in cubicle # 1 of the SWG or in the cubicle of the incoming feeder. Two power supply sources are provided for auxiliary systems and control, interlocking and monitoring purposes. One is normal power or in this particular case it is called user supply and the other is vital power supply. Normal power is just used for cubiclel-/space heating, which is in fact a dew point heating device to avoid the ingress of moisture into the cubicles leading over some time to corrosion on metallic surfaces. Temperature is kept by thermostat control always a couple of degrees above dew point level. In general these devices are in all cubicles installed.
Vital power is applied as control-, interlocking and monitoring power. Both systems work independently and have their own MCB. The sources are installed as a loop from cubicle to cubicle.

1. Low Voltage (LV) Systems, General

Low voltage systems in a power station provides power for all electro-mechanical and electrical auxiliary systems. The 110 VDC power supply is as well an uninterrupted power supply system however provide mainly power for vital systems and partly special components, which are essential to operate the plant efficient and reliable and with the highest possible availability. These systems are at least control- monitoring- and protection systems. In the following the feeding philosophy of the 110 VDC power supply system shall be introduced. Typicals of incoming feeders, bus coupler, individual feeders, control-, interlocking-, protection-, monitoring and signaling features shall be discussed. Typicals are circuits, which are numerous times without changes applied for the plant. The reason is a certain way of standardizing the design. There is just one drawing for feeders , which are all alike. Guided by a number of drawing-cutouts different circuits diagrams shall be introduced and discussed.

This cutout of the OSLD represents a general configuration of the emergency power supply system of the entire plant. It includes Normal Power Supply and Emergency Power, Vital Power as there is UPS power and 110 VDC power via charger and the battery. Normal power and emergency power is in this particular case the same bus. Its the Common 415VAC bus, P00BMCand P00BMD., which are supplied by the common 11 kV busses, P00BBC.and P00BBD., which are on the other hand supplied by 11 kV busses P31BBA.and P41BBA.., which is also 11 kV main level. Thus Normal Power provides power to the battery charger during undisturbed operation. Just in case that power is lost at one of these busses at the main level, trhe chargers without power until emergency power supply is activated. There are at least three choices to reconfigure the 11kV system supply. One is fast transfer switching from one bus to the other bus by HSBT- device, which is done automatically within a fraction of a second. It has to be assured that all AC-cable feeders for the battery charger supply are equipped with self-resetting or automatic reset circuit breakers are equipped.

Single line diagram is always useful to get a quick overview about a system and/or sub-system because it provides already at one glance information about functions, installed components, sub-circuits and interlocking features. Monitor screens at operation and control center are programmed this way and show single lines only. This specific single line represents incoming- and bus tie circuit breakers of one 110 VDC system. A closer look reveals that both incoming CBs are closed during normal (undisturbed) operation. The tie breaker is in OPEN position. In contrary to the UPS-system here it is permitted that the tie breaker may also be closed, to distribute the load among the chargers evenly. Obviously there is no interlocking between both incoming CBs and the tie. The tie breaker is manual operated hence it follows that during normal operation the tie breaker is OPEN. Both incoming feeders are equipped with over voltage-protection and CB trip function. Under voltage monitoring as well as I/U-measuring values are transmitted to DCS. Same is applicable for status signals of both incoming CBs. Operation and monitoring components are installed in the front door of the cubicle.

Wiring Diagram for same Feeders
This diagram is a typical wiring diagram for cable feeders representing miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) with thermal and magnetic protection trip function. Thermal trip works with longtime power overload. Magnetic protection trip function is a short circuit trip release function. Both are indicated by the two rectangular boxes below circuit breaker. As a standard rule the manufacturer uses 3 pole MCBs only although two pole MCBs would have been sufficient too. The advantage of the circuit is that by using two contacts in series the arc quenching capability is doubled. The negative wire is switched too.

Above wiring diagram is a typical scheme usually installed either in cubicle # 1 of the SWG or in the cubicle of the incoming feeder. Two power supply sources are provided for auxiliary systems, control, interlocking and monitoring purposes. One is normal power or in this particular case it is called user supply and the other is 110VDC power supply. Normal power is just used for cubicle-/space heating, which is in fact a dew point heating device to avoid the ingress of moisture into the cubicles leading over some time to corrosion on metallic surfaces. Temperature is kept by thermostat control always a couple of degrees above dew point level. In general these devices are in all cubicles installed.
110VDC power supply is applied as control-, interlocking and monitoring power. Both systems work independently and have their own MCBs. The sources are installed as a loop from cubicle to cubicle.

6. Charger 110 V/1500 A
The battery charger consists of a 12 pulse rectifier, voltage- and charging current controller and smoothing choke. The rectifier current is parted into charging current and feeder current. Looking to the chargers single drawing one can see that after the choke one part the flows via load break switch -Q004 and battery fuse box directly to the battery. The other part is parted again into power supply for the inverter (UPS) module via Q006. Eventually the remaining part flows via circuit breaker Q003 to voltage dropper (or over-voltage limiting valves) via load break switch Q100 to 110 VDC switchgear incoming feeder. The standard mode of operation is most probably Stand-by parallel operation.

As with low voltage installations AC and DC systems contain hazardous voltages. As soon as a door is opened the danger exists to get into contact with hazardous voltages. Any operation or service work inside the system must only be carried out by qualified, authorized and trained personnel. Extreme caution should be exercised at all times. Certain parts within the switchgear might still be alive even if the system is shut down. Before any part is touched the circuit diagram must be studied and measurements must be taken with an instrument.
Qualified personnel are technically instructed persons who, because of their training, experience and position as well as their knowledge of appropriate standards, regulations, health and safety requirements and working conditions, are authorized to be responsible for the safety of the equipment, at all times whilst carrying out their normal duties and are therefore aware of, and can report possible hazards.

1. Medium Voltage Systems, General

Medium voltage system in a power station provides power for all main drives and systems of the water steam cycle for turbines. It provides power too all sub-systems to operate, control and monitor these main systems by means of step-down transformers. In the following the feeding philosophy of the Medium Voltage Supply system shall be introduced as well as typical feeder schemes such as incoming feeder, bus coupler, feeders for motors, transformers and cables. These typicals are representative for the majority of all circuits. Guided by a number of drawing-cutouts different circuits diagrams shall be introduced and discussed

This cutout of the OSLD represents a general configuration of the medium voltage bus bar P11BBA in the center. This bus is connected via coupler P11BBA006 with the adjacent bus P12BBA.This configuration and design is representative for the entire plant. At the beginning of power plant operation all busses are dead, meaning there is no power. During start-up of the power plant two scenarios can be imagined. The first is to start from down that is to start the emergency diesel generators to provide power at the 11 kV busses in order to start the gas turbines. The other possibility is to supply power from outside. Meaning via overhead line, 400 kV power transformer unit aux. transformer down to incoming feeder P11BBA12. Should one of these 11 kV busses looses power by means of high speed bus transfer switching power will be restored via the adjacent bus. This switching is done completely automatic. However if this would not work for several reasons power can be manually restored via a tie connection of neighbor 11 kV switchgear, which would be P42BBA.
3. Medium Voltage Switchgear

In the following switchgear P11BBA shall serve as an example to introduce the arrangement of the cubicles and individual electrical circuits under consideration of their applications. As there are incoming feeders, feeders for motors and transformers, bus couplers, tie breakers and measuring cubicles. Comparing all sets of drawings for each individual application one will find similarities within these many sets and documents. That can easily be explained. Each cubicle needs lighting. Power outlet for tools and instruments when doing maintenance works. It has monitoring and control circuits for earthing switch and circuit breaker. It has an interface device for remote control and monitoring and aux. power supply to operate all these systems. The wiring in these cubicles and it principles are more or less the same. The circuits are divided into two sections. The first is to show which circuits are almost identical in cubicle. The second is to show what is different and does it look like.

1. GENERAL
Voltage drops due to high loads or complete supply interruptions represent the most important and critical problems for the quality of energy supply today. It is especially true that voltage disturbances on electronic control systems and other sensitive installations can lead to complete loss of production and long outages. The SUE 3000 High Speed Transfer Device guarantees an optimum safeguarding of energy supply. The device ensures the continued supply to the consumer through automatic transferring to a stand-by feeder and protects the subsidiary process from expensive outage times. Furthermore, through the possibility of manually-initiated transfers for targeted clearings, for example the operation of the installation is considerably simplified. As a long-established supplier of High Speed Transfer Devices, with more than 1600 systems and devices already supplied world-wide, ABB can rely on a unique experience and know-how in this area of specialization. The SUE 3000 High Speed Transfer Device can be implemented everywhere where a disturbance of the electrical supply would lead to a breakdown of production, which would lead as a result to considerable costs. Possible areas of utilization include, for example: Auxiliary installations serving power stations, as there are Steam power stations Gas turbine power stations Combined cycle power stations Nuclear power stations Environmental technology installations Flue gas purification Refuse incineration installations Voltage supply to continuous industrial processes Chemical plants Industrial facilities with high degrees of automation Fiber manufacturing Petrochemical processes In order to determine a permanent availability, the load is supplied from at least two synchronized feeders which are independent from one another and which are equipped with High Speed Transfer Devices. SUE 3000 High speed transfer device integrates all the required functions in a single unit. This multifunctional unit also features a self-monitoring function.

All functions are designed as freely configurable software modules. Therefore, a wide range of operation requirements can be met without any problems. The versatility of the software makes it possible to use the SUE 3000 in nearly every switchboard independent on the specific application required. Four different transfer modes are available: Fast transfer, Transfer at the 1st phase coincidence, Residual voltage transfer Time-operated transfer.

The connection of the provided SUE 3000 modules are shown in the single line diagram 1KGC 019 259. 2.1 Arrangement and Design with two Feeders and one Bus Bar Coupling With this configuration, the load is divided between two bus bar sections due to reasons of redundancy. The coupling circuit-breaker usually remains open. Both feeders are in operation. In case of disturbance of one feeder, there follows a transfer from the circuit breaker of the disturbed feeder to the coupling circuit breaker. The circuit breaker which had previously been the feeder is opened and the bus bar coupling is closed.

2.2 Unit Part with Conventional Pre-Selection In this case there are two incoming feeders to supply the load of two bus bars. The bus bars are coupled with two couplers. One of the coupling circuit-breakers must remain open (normally open n.o.) the second coupling circuit breaker is normally closed (n.c.). Both feeders are in operation (normally closed n.c.). The pre-selection is determind by the auxiliary contacts of the coupler. If one coupler is closed, the other coupler is automatically selected for switching. If both couplers are open, switching will be blocked. In case of disturbance of one feeder there follows a transfer from the circuit breaker of the disturbed feeder to the pre-selected open coupling circuit breaker. The circuit breaker which had previously been the feeder is opened and the pre-selected open bus bar coupling circuit-breaker is closed. HIGH SPEED TRANSFER DEVICE TYPE SUE 3000
Figure 2: Busbar with two feeders and two busbar coupling (Unit Switchgear)
After that, both bus bar sections are supplied by one feeder. Once the disturbed feeder is again available, a manually-initiated return transfer can be executed in order to restore normal status once again.

4. MECHANICAL DESIGN
Each HIGH-SPEED BUSBAR TRANSFER system (HSBT) includes one SUE 3000 device and auxiliary equipment. The SUE 3000 consists of two parts, a Central Unit and a separate Human Machine Interface (HMI). Inside the cubicle the incoming supply voltage will be distributed via individual MCB with auxiliary contacts to the terminals. The auxiliary voltage supply for HSBT cubicle will be provided redundant via diodedecoupling module. The SUE 3000 device will be protected with a separate MCB. An additional MCB will be installed for the external binary inputs. So the signals have to be made via dry contacts on the source with the distribution voltage supplied from the HSBT system. The HSBT system will be suitable for direct connection to the circuit breaker tripping coil and auxiliary contacts. Front access will be via two doors. One door with glass inlay in the area of the HMI to allow the Single Line Diagram shown in the LCD Display to be seen. The rear access will be provided.

1. General
The voltage generated by Ras Laffan C generators is 21 kV. Each generator is connected to its dedicated 21/400 kV step-up transformer. These transformers transfer the power via 400 kV cables to a 400 kV GIS (Gas (SF6) Insulated Switchgear. The cables are connected to a 400 kV common bus system. However to meet customers demand two further distribution systems are available. One is a 220kV- and the other is a 132 kV distribution system. To step down from 400 kV to 220 kV a interbus transformer is required.
2. Overall Single Line Diagram, 400 / 220 kV Bus System
The single line diagram above show these two transformers in between the two distribution systems.

5. Wiring Diagrams for Cooling Fans
This control and protection diagram shows half of one group of ten cooling fans. In total are four groups with 10 fans each installed. Each group can be controlled individual dependent on transformer oil temperature. That means little load only a few fans are running, high temperature means all fans are running. Each group has its own oil flow indicator and temperature sensor. During normal operation oil temperature should be always below 95 C. At 95 C the first alarm occurs. At 105 C the 400 kV circuit breaker will trip and disconnect the transformer for safety reasons.
