SIEMENS “GO GREEN” WORKSHOP

June 7-9, 2017

EDSA Shangri-La, Manila

Attendees: Anthony F. Lacastesantos, SIOMD-MSO

9:15-10:00AM (45mins) Integration of Renewables by Dr. Edwin Lerch

 Development in Power Generation (Generation Mix)
 European Grid Overview: Generation, Load Demand/Year
 Interconnection between Turkey and Europe
 German Electric Supply System
 Germans opted to use DC transmission because the DC transmission line has a better control on the
fluctuation (direction of power) from renewable energy than AC.

10:15-10:45AM (30mins) Grid Operators View by Customer Senior Executive (Dr. Edwin Lerch)
 Different aspects of stability
 Inter-Area Oscillations through system growth
 Inter-area oscillation occurs when large systems are connected by a weak coupling
 Longitudinal Configuration (Radially Connected)
 Systems connected in longitudinal configuration leads to oscillation and DC transmission line helps
minimize frequency oscillation.
 Destabilization of Grid Frequency by Renewables
 Large penetration of renewable sources with no share of synchronizing torque, thus rate of change
of frequency increases.

11:30-12:00PM (30mins) Variable Shunt Reactors by Oliver Bitter

 Purpose of Variable Shunt Reactors
 Rectifies variations in MW generation resulting in voltage fluctuations
 Rectifies variations in line loading thus variation in voltage rise
 Rectifies variation in load
 Compensates the Ferranti Effect
 Typical Market Drivers which calls for Variable Shunt Reactor
 Increasing renewable power generation
 Rapid Grid Extension
 Variable Load Cycles

1:45-2:30PM (45mins) Direct Current Compensation by Peter Hamberger

 Sources of Direct Current in the Grid
 Renewable Power Generation
 DC powered railroads
 Power Electronics in Networks
 HVDC
 GIC (Geo-magnetic Induced Currents)
 Effects of Direct Current in the Transformers
 Increases noise level (decibels)
 Promotes corrosion
 Increases No-Load Losses
 Using a Transractor to compensate and monitor DC currents

2:30-3:15PM (45mins) Phase Shifting Transformers by Guenter Linortner

 Purpose of Phase Shifting Transformers
 Balances the load between parallel lines by distributing the load to the other line/s in parallel.
 Principle of Operation
 Acts like an additional voltage source
 Drivers of PST
 Increase in renewable power generation
 Power generation centers with long transmission distances to load centers
 Increased electricity exchange between countries or different system operators
  Urbanization with concentrated local increase in electricity demand
 Applications of PST
 Increases transmission line capacity
 Protects own grid from incoming/outgoing load/generation of adjacent network
 Improves commercial cross-network trading
 Fast connection of networks with large difference in phase angle.
 PST types
 Two Core Design
 Single Core Design

3:45-4:30PM (45mins) PRETACT Transformers by Arvind Batra

 Risk factors for grid resilience
 Operational issues
o Network failure
o Incorrect operations
o Aged fleet
 Natural disasters
o Earthquakes
o Hurricanes
o Geomagnetic storms
 Other forced outages
o Physical impacts
o Cyber impacts

3:30-5:00PM (45mins) Outlook: Digitalization and Big Data by Uwe Guendisch
