MERITS & DEMERITS OF PROPOSED SCHEME

3.3.1 Merits;
Replication of power reticulation system of existing T1 terminal and working satisfactorily.
Simple & proven. Widely accepted power reticulation system.
Type of operation-wise substation that makes operation and maintenance of electrical system
easier.
E.g. Stacking substation for Conveyors/Machines involved in stacking operation,
Out-loading substation for Conveyors/Machines involved in out-loading operation.
No. of location of major electrical installation is less. Hence higher electrical system reliability.
Full redundancy in both system of HV & LV.
Less manpower required for operation and maintenance of electrical system.
3.3.2 Demerits
If one area substation goes down due to any hazard, entire port operation will be affected.
E.g. If Stacking substation goes down, all Conveyors/Machines involved in stacking operation shall
stop working.
Complete isolation of any conveyor needs actions at multiple panels of HT & LT. However, single
click isolation can be achieved but this solution is complicated.
LV cabling is much higher.
Larger size prefabricated substation building required.

MERITS & DEMERITS OF PROPOSED SCHEME

4.3.1 Merits:
Single point isolation can be achieved for each conveyor / machine of the plant. Hence
conveyor/machine maintenance can be carried out very easily.
Hazard / fault on one switchroom or fault at LV system to affect operation of one particular
conveyor. Hence less effect on overall plant operation.
LV cabling & cable tray reduces considerably and becomes simple.
Transportation and handling of prefabricated substation building at project site is convenient as
building sizes smaller.
Immediate isolation of particular conveyor can be performed in case of emergency when
centralized control system gets failed.
Saving in HV cable as 22kV distribution to require less sizes of MV cable to cater same amount of
load than 11kV distribution.
4.3.2 Demerits:
Supply & Installation cost is higher than other reticulation options in terms of No of prefabricated
substations, No. of HT Switchgears, No. of Transformers, PLC-RIO and HV cables.
Unavailability of LV power to be observed on complete isolation of Conveyor system for
maintenance. Incomer breaker for LV transformer has to be kept on for availability of LV power for
conveyor system maintenance then Option-II scheme is no different than other reticulations system
proposed as per Option-I. This case diminishes advantage in Option-II regarding complete isolation
of Conveyor up to much extent.
No redundancy of LV system
Maintenance and operation of electrical system to become difficult as number of Major electrical
equipment installation is much higher. Hence, more manpower required for operation and
maintenance.
Frequency of occurrence of fault likely to increase due as number of Major electrical equipment
installation is much higher.
Absence of mechanical brakes limits VFD options available. Hence, it is observed that proposed
Option-II scheme not to perform any value addition in VFD system by putting VFDs nearer to Motor.
4.4

BULLET POINT

Option-II suggested by BMT WBM scheme does not describe type of VFDs to be used for Conveyor
motors.
Possibility of entire port operation to be on stop in case of outing of any area substation due to any
hazard in reticulation scheme proposed as per Option-I. Similar situation may arise with scheme
proposed in Option-II in case of outing of any PDC or Main substation.

CONCLUSION:

From Above description in table 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 & 6.4, it may be observed that;
VFD with multilevel output seems only option available that is suitable for Power reticulation scheme proposed Option-I &
Option-III.
VFD with multilevel output may be recommended for Power reticulation scheme proposed Option-II as it does not perform
any value addition to system by keeping VFDs near to conveyor motors. Hence, VFD with active front end is suitable for power
reticulation scheme proposed in Option-II.

SUMMARY REPORT (E&I)

Report on Power reticulation system

SUMMARY
The report shows that scheme proposed for power reticulation is dependent on reliability of electrical system / reliability of port
operation, Installation cost / feasibility, ease of operation & maintenance of Electrical system including VFDs, type of VFD
system,.
Overall summary of the report is illustrated in table 7.1

7.1

OPTION-I AS PER BASIC ENGINEERING


Option-I is replication of power reticulation of existing T1 terminal that is in operation satisfactorily. But conveyor motors are
without VFDs that puts the proposed reticulation system. As illustrated in table 6.3, VFD option is available for Option-I scheme
to run satisfactorily.
System cost is lower than scheme proposed in Option-II yet higher than Option-III.

7.2

OPTION-II SUGGESTED BY BMT WBM


Option-II scheme primarily focuses on conveyor system isolation and local operation that looked fair for operation
reliability/continuity in case of any fault. But as described in report (4.3.1), there are certain demerits in proposed system that
cannot be overlooked.
Referring to quantification, Option-II scheme seems a costliest option out of all three.
Also, as illustrated in Point 6.0, costlier VFD system has to be used even though VFDs are placed within allowable distance
between VFD & Motor due to achieve dynamic braking in absence of mechanical brakes.

7.3

AN ALTERNATE, OPTION-III
Option-III scheme is alike to Option-I of basic engineering scheme. It covers major benefits of full redundancy, lowest cost out of
all other options, conveyor isolation by simple interlocking.
Lesser number of locations for major electrical installations gives better reliability.

RECOMMENDATION
The study shows that Option-III scheme for Power reticulation is most suitable in terms of technical reliability, operation and
maintenance convenience as well as overall economics for T0 expansion at AAPCT. Hence, we recommend Option-III for its
benefits as summarized in report.
