    Sub-station

    Definition of sub-station:

    The assembly of apparatus used to change some characteristics of electric

    supply is called sub-station.

    Introduction:

    The present day electrical power is generated, transmitted, and distributed

    in the form of AC. The electric power is produce at the power station, which

    are located at favorable places, generally quite away from the consumers. It

    is delivered to the consumer through a large network of transmission and

    distribution. At many place in the line of power system, it may be desirable

    and necessary to change some characteristic (e.g. Voltage, ac to dc,

    frequency p.f. etc.) of electric supply. This is accomplished by suitable

    apparatus called sub-station for example, generation voltage (11KV or

    6.6KV) at the power station is stepped up to high voltage (Say 220KV to

    132KV) for transmission of electrical power. Similarly, near the consumers

    localities, the voltage may have to be stepped down to utilization level.

    Site Selection & Layout 220 KV Substation:

    220KVSub-Station forms an important link between Transmission network

    and Distribution network. It has a vital Influence of reliability of service.

    Apart from ensuring efficient transmission and distribution of power, the

    sub-station configuration should be such that it enables easy maintenance

    of equipment and minimum interruptions in power supply. Sub-station is

    constructed as near as possible to the load center. The voltage level of

    power transmission is decided on the quantum of power to be transmitted

    to the load center. Transmission is decided on the quantum of power to be

    transmitted to the load center.

    Transformers & Its Parts

    A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to

    another through inductively coupled conductorsthe transformer's coils. A

    varying current in the first or primary winding creates a varying magnetic

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    6/41

    flux in the transformer's core and thus a varying magnetic field through the

    secondary winding. This varying magnetic field induces a varying

    electromotive force (EMF), or "voltage", in the secondary winding. This effect

    is called inductive coupling.

    If a load is connected to the secondary, current will flow in the secondary

    winding, and electrical energy will be transferred from the primary circuit

    through the transformer to the load. In an ideal transformer, the induced

    voltage in the secondary winding (Vs) is in proportion to the primary

    voltage (Vp) and is given by the ratio of the number of turns in the

    secondary (Ns) to the number of turns in the primary (Np) as follows:

    By appropriate selection of the ratio of turns, a transformer thus enables an

    alternating current (AC) voltage to be "stepped up" by making Ns greater

    than Np, or "stepped down" by making Ns less than Np. The windings are

    coils wound around a ferromagnetic core, air-core transformers being a

    notable exception.

    160 MVA transformer of Subhasgram Substation

    Different parts of a transformer:-

    CORE AND WINDING:-The core of the transformer may be of various

    shapes i.e. core, shell. It is made by cold-rolled grain oriented silicon-steel

    lamination. Laminated sheets are insulated from each other by applying a

    thick layer of varnish insulation on the lamination. The core is laminated to

    reduce eddy current losses. The laminations are made in steps and try to

    give circular cross section. Bolts and nuts secure the lamination. The core is

    placed at the bottom of the tank. The tanks are constructed from welded

    sheet steel for small tanks and boiler sheet steel for large tanks. There are

    thermometer pockets, radiators tubes for increasing cooling surface. A three

    phase transformer has six separate windings- three primary and three

    secondary wounded on iron core. Enameled copper with insulation is used

    for winding. Insulated papers are used for interlayer insulation. Paper in the

    form of tape may be used for taping winding leads and other parts. Press

    boards are used as insulation between windings and cores. Press boards are

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    8/41

    also used to separate H.V. windings from L.V. windings input nearer the

    core.

    TRANSFORMER OIL:-The tank filled with transformer oil and tank is sealed.

    It is a mineral oil obtained by refining crude petroleum. It serves the

    following purposes:

    the core and oils.

    Good transformer oil should have:-

    rm slugging under normal operating conditions. It is necessary to

    check the oil in regular intervals.

    Bushing: -The bushing is a hollow insulating liner that fits through a hole

    in a wall or metal case, allowing a conductor to pass along its centre and

    connect at both ends to other equipment. The purpose of the bushing is to

    keep the conductor insulated from the surface it is passing through.

    Bushings are often made of wet-process fired porcelain, and may be coated

    with a semi-conducting glaze to assist in equalizing the electrical stress

    along the length of the bushing.

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    9/41

    The inside of the bushing may contain paper insulation and the bushing is

    often filled with oil to provide additional insulation. Bushings for medium-

    voltage and low-voltage apparatus may be made of resins reinforced with

    paper. The use of polymer bushings for high voltage applications is

    becoming more common. The largest high-voltage bushings made are

    usually associated with high-voltage direct-current converters.

    Conservator: - To allow room for oil expansion and contraction. The

    transformer is completely filled with the oil and when it heats up underload or due to ambient temperatures, the oil has to have a place to go. In

    the event of colder weather or if the transformer is not under heavy load

    the oil cools and contracts creating a slight vacuum inside the tank. The

    conservator acts as a reservoir of oil that can then flow back into the tank

    so that no air enters it.

    It is connected by piping to the main transformer tank that is completely

    filled with oil. The conservator also is filled with oil and contains an

    expandable bladder or diaphragm between the oil and air to prevent air

    from contacting the oil.

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    10/41

    Air enters and exits the space above the bladder/ diaphragm as the oil level

    in the main tank goes up and down with temperature. Air typically enters

    and exits through a desiccant-type air dryer that must have the desiccant

    replaced periodically. The main parts of the system are the expansion tank,

    bladder or diaphragm, breather, vent valves, liquid-level gauge and alarm

    switch. Vent valves are used to vent air from the system when filling the

    unit with oil. A liquid-level gauge indicates the need for adding or

    removing transformer oil to maintain the proper oil level and permit flexing

    of the diaphragm.

    Conservator Tank Silica Gel Breather

    Silica Gel Breather:-A transformer breather is an accessory of an oil filled

    type transformer which is attached into the oil conservator tank; this serves

    as the breathing point of the unit, that when the insulating oil of the

    transformer gets heated up, it expands and goes back to the conservator

    tank and subsequently pushes the dry air out of the conservator tank

    through the breather which is filled with silica gel, when the oil cools down,

    it retracts and sucks fresh air from the atmosphere through the breather

    and from this point, the silica gel dries up the air that goes back in to the

    conservator tank.

    Buccholz Relay: -It is a gas activated relay inside in oil immersedtransformers for protection against all types of fault. Any fault produces

    heat and in course the evaluation of gases. It mainly consists of two float

    switches and placed in the connecting pipe between he main tank and the

    conservator. Under normal condition the main tank and the Buccholz relay

    is completely filled up with oil and the conservator tank is half full. When

    the fault occurs, it produces gas which is collected in the container. So the

    oil level falls and closing the alarm circuit. If no attention is paid to it the

    gas collection will be more and close another circuit, which will cut out the

    transformer from the line.

    Buccholz Relay

    PRD (Pressure Release Device):- The pressure relief valve plays a

    significant role in the protection ofPower transformer systems. As

    mentioned before, a major faultinside the transformer causes instantaneous

    vaporization of the oil,leading to extremely rapid build-up of gaseous

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    12/41

    pressure. If thispressure is not relieved within a few milliseconds, the

    transformertank can get ruptured, spilling oil over a wide area. The

    consequentdamage and fire hazard possibilities are obvious. A pressure

    reliefdevice provides instantaneous relieving of dangerous pressure.

    PRD

    Radiator: - Radiators are used in a transformer to cool the transformer oil

    through natural air or forced air flowing in these radiator fins. As the

    transformer oil temperature goes down due to cooling it goes to the

    transformer tank from bottom, cool the windings and gets heated, and then

    returns to the radiator for next cooling. This cycle repeats as the oil flow is

    also natural due difference in temperature of oil on bottom and top. In big

    power transformers this oil circulation is forced by oil pumps for effective

    cooling.

    The radiator has many small fins and there are 4-10 radiator banks in a

    transformer depending on capacity and make of the transformer.

    Substation Equipments

    Lightning Arrester: - A lightning arrester is a device used on electrical

    power systems to protect the insulation on the system from the damaging

    effect of lightning. Metal oxide varistors (MOVs) have been used for power

    system protection since the mid 1970s. The typical lightning arrester also

    known as surge arrester has a high voltage terminal and a ground terminal.When a lightning surge or switching surge travels down the power system

    to the arrester, the current from the surge is diverted around the protected

    insulation in most cases to earth.

    The lightning arrestor protects the structure from damage by intercepting

    flashes of lightning and transmitting their current to the ground. Since

    lightning strikes tend to strike the highest object in the vicinity, the rod is

    placed at the apex of a tall structure. It is connected to the ground by low-

    resistance cables. In the case of a building, the soil is used as the ground,

    and on a ship, water is used. A lightning rod provides a cone of protection,

    which has a ground radius approximately, equal to its height above the

    ground.

    Lightning Arrester

    Isolator: - In electrical engineering is used to make sure that an electrical

    circuit can be completely de-energized for service or maintenance. Such

    switches are often found in electrical distribution and industrial applications

    where machinery must have its source of driving power removed for

    adjustment or repair. High-voltage isolation switches are used in electrical

    substations to allow isolation of apparatus such as circuit breakers and

    transformers, and transmission lines, for maintenance. Often the isolation

    switch is not intended for normal control of the circuit and is used only for

    isolation; in such a case, it functions as a second, usually physically distant

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    22/41

    master switch (wired in series with the primary one) that can independently

    disable the circuit even if the master switch used in everyday operation is

    turned on.

    Isolator switches have provisions for a padlock so that inadvertent operation

    is not possible (see: Lockout-Tag out). In high voltage or complex systems,these padlocks may be part of a trapped-key interlock system to ensure

    proper sequence of operation. In some designs the isolator switch has the

    additional ability to earth the isolated circuit thereby providing additional

    safety. Such an arrangement would apply to circuits which inter-connect

    power distribution systems where both end of the circuit need to be

    isolated.

    The major difference between an isolator and a circuit breaker is that an

    isolator is an off-loaddevice intended to be opened only after current has

    been interrupted by some other control device. Safety regulations of the

    utility must prevent any attempt to open the disconnector while it supplies

    a circuit.

    Standards in some countries for safety may require either local motor

    isolators or lockable overloads (which can be padlocked).

    Current Transformer: - A current transformer is defined as "as aninstrument transformer in which the secondary current is substantially

    proportional to the primary current (under normal conditions of operation)

    and differs in phase from it by an angle which is approximately zero for an

    appropriate direction of the connections." This highlights the accuracy

    requirement of the current transformer but also important is the isolating

    function, which means no matter what the system voltage the secondary

    circuit need be insulated only for a low voltage.

    The current transformer works on the principle of variable flux. In the "ideal"

    current transformer, secondary current would be exactly equal (when

    multiplied by the turns ratio) and opposite of the primary current. But, as in

    the voltage transformer, some of the primary current or the primary

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    24/41

    ampere-turns are utilized for magnetizing the core, thus leaving less than

    the actual primary ampere turns to be "transformed" into the secondary

    ampere-turns. This naturally introduces an error in the transformation. The

    error is classified into two-the current or ratio error and the phase error.

    Current Transformer

    Capacitor Voltage Transformer: -A capacitor voltage transformer (CVT), orcapacitance coupled voltage transformer (CCVT) is a transformer used in

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    25/41

    power systems to step down extra high voltage signals and provide a low

    voltage signal, for measurement or to operate a protective relay. In its most

    basic form the device consists of three parts: two capacitors across which

    the transmission line signal is split, an inductive element to tune the device

    to the line frequency, and a transformer to isolate and further step down

    the voltage for the instrumentation or protective relay. The tuning of the

    divider to the line frequency makes the overall division ratio less sensitive to

    changes in the burden of the connected metering or protection devices.

    The device has at least four terminals: a terminal for connection to the high

    voltage signal, a ground terminal, and two secondary terminals which

    connect to the instrumentation or protective relay. CVTs are typically single-

    phase devices used for measuring voltages in excess of one hundred

    kilovolts where the use of wound primary voltage transformers would be

    uneconomical. In practice, capacitor C1 is often constructed as a stack of

    smaller capacitors connected in series. This provides a large voltage drop

    across C1 and a relatively small voltage drop across C2.

    The CVT is also useful in communication systems. CVTs in combination with

    wave traps are used for filtering high frequency communication signals from

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    26/41

    power frequency. This forms a carrier communication network throughout

    the transmission network.

    CVT Potential Transformer

    Potential Transformer:-

    Potential transformers are instrument transformers. They have a large

    number of primary turns and a few numbers of secondary turns. It is used

    to control the large value of voltage.

    The potential transformer works along the same principle of other

    transformers. It converts voltages from high to low. It will take the

    thousands of volts behind power transmission systems and step the voltage

    down to something that meters can handle. These transformers work for

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    27/41

    single and three phase systems, and are attached at a point where it is

    convenient to measure the voltage.

    Potential Transformer is designed for monitoring single-phase and three-

    phase power line voltages in power metering applications. The primary

    terminals can be connected either in line-to-line or in line-to-neutral

    configuration. Fused transformer models are designated by a suffix of "F"

    for one fuse or "FF" for two fuses.

    A Potential Transformer is a special type of transformer that allows meters

    to take readings from electrical service connections with higher voltage

    (potential) than the meter is normally capable of handling without at

    potential transformer.

    Wave Trap: - The wave traps are used to block the high frequency currents

    with values of frequencies between 50 kHz and 300 kHz, but to allow the

    power frequency current to pass without losses. The blocking effect

    depends on the value of inductance in the wave trap. Higher the inductance

    in the wave trap, the larger the blocking effect will occur. Wave traps aredesigned as resonant circuit tuned to block the carrier wave. In the wave

    trap, inductance and condenser are connected in parallel. Arrangement can

    be made such that a wave trap is able to tune two different earner

    frequencies. The addition of a second inductance and a second condenser

    can do this. The wave traps are connected directly in one phase of the

    power transmission line. It is also essential to design the inductances in

    such a way that they can carry the current flowing in the line. Wave traps

    are standardized for currents of 200 ampere. 400 ampere and 700 ampere.

    The variation in the tuning frequency in the wave trap is possible due to the

    variable condensers. The inductance unit is made of copper or aluminum

    windings. The condenser units arc mounted on a moisture proof casing.

    28/41

    Wave Trap

    Circuit Breaker: - A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical

    switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by

    overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and,

    by interrupting continuity, to immediately discontinue electrical flow. Unlike

    a fuse, which operates once and then has to be replaced, a circuit breaker

    can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation.

    Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protectan individual household appliance up to large switchgear designed to

    protect high voltage circuits feeding an entire city.

    All circuit breakers have common features in their operation, although

    details vary substantially depending on the voltage class, current rating and

    type of the circuit breaker.

    The circuit breaker must detect a fault condition; in low-voltage circuit

    breakers this is usually done within the breaker enclosure. Circuit breakers

    for large currents or high voltages are usually arranged with pilot devices to

    sense a fault current and to operate the trip opening mechanism. The trip

    solenoid that releases the latch is usually energized by a separate battery,

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    29/41

    although some high-voltage circuit breakers are self-contained with current

    transformers, protection relays, and an internal control power source.

    Once a fault is detected, contacts within the circuit breaker must open to

    interrupt the circuit; some mechanically-stored energy (using something

    such as springs or compressed air) contained within the breaker is used toseparate the contacts, although some of the energy required may be

    obtained from the fault current itself. Small circuit breakers may be

    manually operated; larger units have solenoids to trip the mechanism, and

    electric motors to restore energy to the springs.

    Conductors:-

    Conductor Material Properties

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    30/41

    Materials commonly used in conductors are aluminum, copper, and steel.

    The properties of these common materials fabricated as wires are

    summarized in Table 1.1. Galvanized steel wires are combined with

    aluminum in the most common type of overhead conductor -- Aluminum

    Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR). The use of copper is uncommon in

    modern transmission lines since it weighs and usually costs considerably

    more than aluminum conductor of the same resistance. Conductor Design

    & Construction "Standard" bare overhead conductors consist of round

    strands helically laid about a core in one or more layers. In a

    homogeneous conductor - all aluminum conductor (AAC), hard drawn

    copper conductor (CU), or all aluminum alloy conductors (AAAC5005 or

    AAAC6201) - the core consists of a single strand identical to the outer

    strands. Since all the strands are the same diameter, one can show that the

    innermost layer always consists of 6 strands, the second layer of 12 strands,

    etc., making conductors having 1, 7, 19, 37, 61, 91, or 128 strands.

    In a non-homogeneous conductor - aluminum conductor steel reinforced

    (ACSR), aluminum conductor alum weld steel reinforced (ACSR/AW), or hard

    drawn copper conductor copper weld steel reinforced (CU/CW), or

    aluminum conductor aluminum alloy reinforced - the strands in the core

    may or may not be of the same diameter. In a 30/7 ACSR conductor the

    aluminum and steel strands are of the same diameter. In a 30/19 ACSRthey are not. Within the core or within the outer layers, however, the

    number of strands always increases by 6 in each succeeding layer. The most

    common type of transmission conductor is ACSR. ACSR consists of one or

    more layers of aluminum strands surrounding a core of 1, 7, 19, or 37

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    31/41

    galvanized steel strands. Certain strandings are stronger than others. 36/1

    ACSR is the weakest stranding (1/37 of the cross-sectional area is steel).

    30/7 is the strongest (7/37 of the cross-section is steel).

    Tower

    The supporting structures for line conductors are called towers.

    In general towers have the following properties:

    1) High mechanical strength to withstand the weight of conductors and

    wind loads.

    2) Light in weight without the loss of mechanical strength.

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    32/41

    3) Cheap in cost.

    4) Longer life

    5) Easy accessibility of conductors for maintenance. For transmission

    purpose we only use steel towers.

    Various types of steel towers:

    1)A TYPE tower: Its a suspension type tower and it has angle ofdeviation of 0-2degree between the conductors.

    2)B TYPE tower: These are tension towers having an angle of deviationof 2 -15 degree.

    3)C TYPE tower: These are tension towers having an angle of deviationof 15 -30degree.

    4)D TYPE tower: These are also tension type tower having angle ofdeviation of 30-60 degree.

    RELAY

    A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet

    to operate a switching mechanism mechanically, but other operating

    principles are also used. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a

    circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between

    control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled

    by one signal. The first relays were used in long distance telegraph circuits,

    repeating the signal coming in from one circuit and re-transmitting it to

    another. Relays were used extensively in telephone exchanges and early

    computers to perform logical operations.

    A type of relay that can handle the high power required to directly control

    an electric motor or other loads is called a contractor. Solid-state relays

    control power circuits with no moving parts, instead using a semiconductor

    device to perform switching. Relays with calibrated operating characteristics

    and sometimes multiple operating coils are used to protect electrical circuits

    from overload or faults; in modern electric power systems these functions

    are performed by digital instruments still called "protective relays".

  • 7/31/2019 TCL Project Report

    35/41

    A simple electromagnetic relay consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a

    soft iron core, an iron yoke which provides a low reluctance path for

    magnetic flux, a movable iron armature, and one or more sets of contacts

    (there are two in the relay pictured). The armature is hinged to the yoke

    and mechanically linked to one or more sets of moving contacts. It is held

    in place by a spring so that when the relay is de-energized there is an air

    gap in the magnetic circuit. In this condition, one of the two sets of

    contacts in the relay pictured is closed, and the other set is open. Other

    relays may have more or fewer sets of contacts depending on their

    function. The relay in the picture also has a wire connecting the armature to

    the yoke. This ensures continuity of the circuit between the moving contacts

    on the armature, and the circuit track on the printed circuit board (PCB) via

    the yoke, which is soldered to the PCB.

    When an electric current is passed through the coil it generates a magnetic

    field that activates the armature and the consequent movement of the

    movable contact either makes or breaks (depending upon construction) a

    connection with a fixed contact. If the set of contacts was closed when the

    relay was de-energized, then the movement opens the contacts and breaks

    the connection, and vice versa if the contacts were open. When the current

    to the coil is switched off, the armature is returned by a force,

    approximately half as strong as the magnetic force, to its relaxed position.

    Usually this force is provided by a spring, but gravity is also used commonly

    in industrial motor starters. Most relays are manufactured to operate

    quickly. In a low-voltage application this reduces noise; in a high voltage or

    current application it reduces arcing.

    When the coil is energized with direct current, a diode is often placed

    across the coil to dissipate the energy from the collapsing magnetic field at

    deactivation, which would otherwise generate a voltage spike dangerous to

    semiconductor circuit components. Some automotive relays include a diode

    inside the relay case. Alternatively, a contact protection network consisting

    of a capacitor and resistor in series (snubber circuit) may absorb the surge.

    If the coil is designed to be energized with alternating current (AC), a small

    copper "shading ring" can be crimped to the end of the solenoid, creating a

    small out-of-phase current which increases the minimum pull on the

    armature during the AC cycle.

    A solid-state relay uses a thyristor or other solid-state switching device,

    activated by the control signal, to switch the controlled load, instead of a

    solenoid. An optocoupler (a light-emitting diode (LED) coupled with a

    photo transistor) can be used to isolate control and controlled circuits

    There are many types of relays:

    COMMUNICATION

    In Subhasgram substation, we have basically three types of communication.

    They are as follows:

    VHF (Very High Frequency) Communication: The frequency used for this

    purpose is about 167 megahertz. It is a simple system which does not

    require plcc. Communication can be done both ways but one at a time i.e.

    we can either speak or listen at a single

    1. Instance. It is used to connect to Madarhat substation. The signal iscommunicated through 33kv line.

    2. Hotline connection through PLCC: We dont require EPAX in thissystem since the connection is made as soon as we pick up the

    receiver end. This type of connection is used for high priority

    communication. It is implied to connect Subhasgram substation to

    power grid from where it gets the input power. The connection

    sequence: phase wire (blue in general) wave trap- LMU box Carrier

    (PLCC) Receiver. The incoming is done through 220kv line.

    3. PLCC connection: It is the general configuration which is used toconnect our substation to Lakshmikantapur, Kasba, Bantala substations

    and the output is conveyed through 220kv line. The outline of the

    communication system: phase wire (blue in general) wave trap- LMU

    box Carrier (PLCC) - EPAX- Receiver end.

    The Communication room which consists of Carrier, Epax and other

    equipments are operated in 48 volt dc. There is a backup room

    consisting of 24 batteries for backup to the communication room.

    An example of frequency range for interconnection of our substation to

    others:

    Frequency- KASBA- SINGLE CHANNEL

    TX (P) =143.57 KHz

    RX (P) =147.57 KHz

    Where TX represents Transmission end frequency and RX represents

    receiving end frequency.

    CONCLUSION

    The vocational training at WBSETCL has been a practical experience for all

    of us from Subhasgram subdivision. We have been extremely fortunate to

    have got a scope to learn the various intricate details of power transmission

    from the engineers and the officers of WBSETCL, Subhasgram. It was a

    firsthand experience for all of us to see the various transmission methods

    that are employed at a transmission sub-station. We got to understand how

    power from various generating station is transmitted to a transmitting sub-

    station and the several processes that are undergone before transmitting

    the power to a distributing sub-station. While consuming power we hardlycare about the fact that it is the effort of so many tireless people that we

    get to enjoy power at our home and other commercial places.

    We realize that power transmission is not an easy task and that it comes

    after a lot of hard work and loss of innumerable energy. We also got to see

    transformers and understand its functioning from very close quarters. We

    saw the functioning of circuit breakers, isolators and capacitor banks all that

    we had been only reading in textbooks. It was an enlightening experience

    to interact with the engineers who has helped to enrich our knowledge.

    We also learnt about PLCC and the various models of communication that

    are employed in power plants and sub-stations. In all we had an overall

    understanding and knowledge of the functions of a transmission sub-

    stations. We as students feel proud to have been associated with the

    WBSETCL and hope to strengthen our relationship in the near future.

    We sincerely thank all the staff of WBSETCL, Subhasgram for making our

    training a truly enriching and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time in

    WBSETCL.
