Grid Connection of Embedded Generators
  • This presentation will
  • Outline the issues concerned with the grid
    connection of embedded generators
  • Outline the work undertaken in Sri Lanka in the
    year 2000 on the grid connection of embedded
    generators

What is Embedded Generation? Embedded generation
describes any generation system that is connected
to the distribution network. It derives from the
generation being embedded into the distribution
network. There is no formal definition of what is
a distribution system and what is therefore an
embedded generator. Commonly systems up to 33 kV
are described as distribution systems, where
either consumer loads or lines leading to
consumer loads are present.
DULAS
4
Why is this a subject requiring
attention? Distribution networks are primarily
designed to distribute power from a central
transmission system down to consumer loads
connected to the distribution system, the power
flow is one way With embedded generation the
power flow is more complex and may be both
ways There are plans for the implementation of
increasing amounts of smaller grid connected
generation systems.

  • What are the key factors to be considered?
  • Grid stability and security
  • Fault Level
  • Interconnection Protection
  • Islanded Operation
  • Voltage levels
  • Earthing
  • Load flow
  • Connection application process
  • Testing and maintenance of protection

DULAS
6
Grid stability and security
  • Maintenance of grid stability and security are
    prime requirements for the specification of
    interconnection equipment and regulations.
  • The grid supply system may be subject to
  • increasing load demand
  • low availability of spinning reserve
  • load shedding to maintain system security
  • an increasing use of embedded generation

DULAS
7
Grid Stability
  • Connection and disconnection of embedded
    generation may cause grid disturbances which may
    affect grid stability and reliability.
  • This is particularly the case if there is the
    loss of a large amount of embedded generation at
    one time and embedded generation may be a
    significant contribution towards overall
    generation capacity.
  • There is usually no central control over embedded
    generation operation

DULAS
8
Grid Security
  • There will be increasing amounts of embedded
    generation in Indonesia
  • This is likely to lead to an increasing
    proportion of the grid load being supplied by
    embedded generation.
  • The security of supply of the embedded generation
    will become more significant for the security of
    the grid as a whole.

DULAS
9
Fault levels
  • The connection of embedded generation will
    contribute to the fault levels in the system
  • This may require changes to the protection
    equipment on the distribution system
  • This is usually only a factor when there are
    large sizes or large numbers of embedded
    generators in one area.

DULAS
10
Interconnection Protection
  • There is a requirement for some electrical
    protection at the point of connection to ensure
    that
  • Operation of the generator will not compromise
    the safety of the grid system
  • Deviations in the grid system will not damage the
    generator equipment
  • Safety on the distribution system and at the
    generation station is maintained
  • Islanded operation of sections of the
    distribution system is prevented

DULAS
11
Islanded operation
  • Islanded operation is where
  • a section of the distribution network is
    separated from the rest of the network (islanded)
    and
  • the supply to the separated section is maintained
    by embedded generation
  • This is potentially dangerous in that there is
    little control on voltage or frequency and the
    protection systems of the distribution network
    may not operate due to the limited capacity of
    the embedded generation

DULAS
12
Voltage Levels
Embedded generation will cause changes to the
voltage levels in the distribution system
generally it will raise the voltage at points
along the distribution network. This voltage rise
must be limited to ensure that the supplies to
consumers remain within statutory and safe
working limits
DULAS
13
Earthing
Embedded generators ususally genrate at low
voltage (400V 3 phase) and require suitable
earthing for their safe operation The connection
points will usually include switch gear and
transformers which require suitable high voltage
earthing These earthing systems must be separated
to ensure the safety of the plant in fault
conditions
DULAS
14
Load Flow and Grid System operation
Embedded generators will change the load flow in
in the distribution system. In some cases power
will be fed from the distribution system into the
transmission system These changes in load flow
may cause transmission and distribution system
voltage control and protection devices to operate
incorrectly.
DULAS
15
Connection process
  • A standard process is required for an embedded
    generator to
  • Apply for a connection
  • Agree the connection requirements, specifications
    and costs
  • Implement and test the connection protection
  • Operate and maintain the connection protection

DULAS
16
Testing and Maintenance
The connection protection and earthing needs to
be maintained and tested. The distribution
system will rely on the operation of the embedded
generation protection for safe and reliable
operation Maintenance and testing requirements
need to be defined and implemented

    the Ceylon Electricity Board, existing and
    prospective embedded generation companies and
    consultants working in the field of embedded
    generation.
  • The man outputs were
  • The production of a Guide
  • Training courses for CEB and private generation
    company personnel

Embedded Generators 2000 The work was
undertaken by a consortium of companies and
consultants from Sri Lanka and the UK. The lead
partners were Resource Management Associates in
Sri Lanka Dulas Ltd in UK The work was funded by
the World Bank through the Pre Electrification
Unit of the CEB

Studies and Information Requirements
  • The CEB will need to undertake studies to
    ascertain the acceptability and requirements for
    the connection of a new embedded generator.
  • These studies will require information from the
    proposed generating company.
  • The generating company will also require some
    information from the CEB to design suitable
    protection arrangements and maybe to modify
    proposed designs to suit particular grid
    requirements.

DULAS
21
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators Sri

of a connection application
  • The following studies may be conducted by the
    CEB
  • Stability
  • Fault Level
  • Grid protection
  • Voltage levels
  • Earthing
  • Load flow

DULAS
22
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators Sri
Lanka
Stability
  • The affect on local stability of new embedded
    generation capacity should be analysed when the
    capacity of the new plant exceeds 5MW, or when
    the total capacity on a single distribution line
    exceeds 5MW.
  • For small generators, typically less than 1MW,
    the requirement for stability information from
    the Generating Company may be waived.
  • The Generating Company shall provide a model of
    the AVR of the proposed generators where the
    capacity exceeds 5MW.

Fault Level
  • The cumulative effect of of the embedded
    generator(s) on the design fault level for the
    distribution system shall be assessed by the CEB.
  • A study should be undertaken when the cumulative
    fault level reaches 90 of the rating of the
    associated switchgear, or the design fault level.
  • The CEB may require more detailed information
    from the generator than that specified in Annex
    3.


DULAS
24
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators Sri

Protection
  • The effect on the distribution system protection
    ratings and settings shall be studied if any of
    the following apply
  • the proposed generating site maximum short
    circuit current is greater than 20 of the
    distribution system short circuit current
  • the cumulative short circuit current from all
    embedded generators on a distribution line will
    exceed 30 of the distribution system short
    circuit current
  • there will be a net export of power from the
    distribution system to the 132 kV transmission
    system.

DULAS
25
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators Sri

Voltage Levels
  • The nominal voltage at the Point of Supply (POS)
    shall be stated by the CEB in the LOI.
  • The voltage rise at the POS must be within
    operational limits.
  • A two stage approach shall be made to studies
  • 1) Exclude load connections
  • 2) Include load connections
  • The stage 2 study is required when the stage 1
    study indicates a potential problem.

DULAS

Earthing
The Guide provides information on acceptable
earthing practices and earthing requirements for
a variety of situations. An Annex on earthing is
included to provide background information on
earthing. The Generating Company shall provide
information about the proposed earthing
arrangement to the CEB. It is the responsibility
of the Generating Company to provide adequate
earthing at a generating site. The
interconnection of generating site and CEB earth
systems should be considered for each site
situation with reference to the Guide.
DULAS
27
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators Sri

Load Flow
To assess the load flow at the distribution
transformer the maximum cumulative generation
capacity and the minimum captive load on the
distribution line shall be calculated. This will
indicate if there are conditions under which
there will be an export of power from the
distribution line to the 132 kV transmission
system. If export is likely to occur the
protection at the sub station will need to be
studied.
DULAS

    and the generating company are given in a pro
    forma in Annex 3.
  • This information exchange is to follow the issue
    of an LOI.
  • The Generating Company shall later provide the
    following information, prior to acceptance
    testing
  • the proposed interconnection protection
    implementation
  • protection test procedures
  • drawings showing the protection arrangements

Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Synchronisation of Generators
Synchronisation
Synchronisation means the minimisation of the
difference in magnitude, frequency and phase
angle between the corresponding phases of the
generator output and the grid supply prior to the
connection of the two supplies. Synchronisation
can be achieved either manually or automatically,
the latter is preferable. It is very unlikely
that new installations will include only manual
synchronisation. If manual synchronisation is
suggested its safe and reliable operation should
be seriously considered and implemented carefully.
DULAS
30
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Synchronisation of Generators
Synchronisation (2)
  • Voltage Fluctuation
  • During Synchronisation of a single generator, the
    induced voltage fluctuation on the grid should
    not normally exceed 3 at the Point of Common
    Coupling,
  • The requirements of voltage step and flicker
    given in Section 11 should also be met.

DULAS
31
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Synchronisation of Generators
Synchronisation of Synchronous Generators
  • Generator output frequency must be the same as
    the grid frequency.
  • The phase angle between the generator output and
    the grid supply must be less than specified
    limits
  • The rate of change in phase angle between the
    grid and the generator must be within specified
    limits
  • Then the generator may be connected to the grid

DULAS
DULAS
32
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Synchronisation of Generators
Synchronisation Methods for Synchronous Generators
  • Control motive power to generator to achieve
    synchronisation.
  • Usually indicated with Synchroscope lights or
    indicator. Problems of controlling large rotating
    masses and motive power
  • Control of the load on the generator to achieve
    synchronisation. This is usually done with an
    Electronic Load Control (ELC) system
  • Requires a dump load, it provides very smooth
    an accurate synchronisation.

DULAS
DULAS
33
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Synchronisation of Generators
Synch Check relays
  • A synch check relay must be used to check that
    the synchronisation of the generator and the grid
    is within the specified limits
  • The relay must operate on at least two, and
    preferably all three phases to ensure phase
    rotation is correct

DULAS
DULAS

Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators-
Synchronisation of Generators
Synchronisation limits
  • The limits specified in the Guide for allowing
    synchronisation are
  • Phase angle /- 20 degrees
  • Maximum voltage difference 7
  • Maximum slip frequency 0.44

DULAS
DULAS
35
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
-Synchronisation of Generators
Synchronisation of Induction Generators
  • Two main methods of synchronisation
  • Use of electronic soft start unit to motor the
    generator up to synchronous speed
  • Mechanically drive the generator up to
    synchronous speed.
  • Once at, or slightly above, synchronous speed the
    generator may be connected to the grid.

Synchronisation of Generators
Synchronisation of Induction Generators (2)
Inrush Current There will be a large inrush
current when the generator is connected. This
current is building up the field in the
generator. The inrush current may be reduced
by adding series resistance for a short time
after connection. A large inrush current will
cause problems to the local grid, which must
provide the current

Grid protection
  • The addition of embedded generation may change
    the requirements for grid protection.
  • There will be a fault level contribution from the
    embedded generator, though this is usually small.
  • It is important that grid system protection will
    operate when required.
  • If a grid sub station becomes a net exporter of
    power to the 132kV system the operation of
    voltage control and distance protection systems
    will require study and modification.

DULAS

Hazards of Islanding
  • The hazards created during islanded operation
    are
  • Unearthed operation of the distribution system
  • Lower fault levels
  • Out of synchronisation reclosure
  • Voltage levels outside statutory limits
  • Reduction in quality of supply
  • Risk to maintenance personnel

DULAS
39
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Islanding
  • Due to the hazards listed the operation of an
    islanded situation is to be avoided.
  • There may be an advantage to consumers, and
    generating companies, to allow islanded operation
    in the maintenance of supply when a line has been
    disconnected. This advantage is small and the
    hazards outweigh the advantages.

DULAS
40
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Detection of Islanded operation
  • The onset of an islanded situation will be
    accompanied by a disturbance in the grid.
  • The detection of islanded operation relies of the
    detection of this disturbance.
  • The disturbance may take the form of
  • a change in voltage or frequency
  • a single shift in voltage vector
  • a change in reactive power flow

DULAS
41
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Common Cause Tripping
  • A prime consideration in the development of the
    detection and protection requirements is to
    minimise the potential for multiple tripping of
    embedded generators due to grid disturbances or
    faults on adjacent lines which may not require a
    generator to be disconnected.
  • This multiple tripping is known as Common Cause
    or Common Mode tripping.

DULAS
42
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Avoiding Common Cause Tripping
  • The protection types and settings specified in
    the Guide are designed to avoid Common Cause
    tripping.
  • For larger generating sites (gt5MW) inter tripping
    from the grid sub station, and possibly
    distribution breakers, should be used to ensure a
    generator is disconnected when an islanded
    condition occurs.
  • For sites lt 5MW Loss of Mains (LoM) protection
    may be used to detect an islanded condition and
    disconnect the generator. For these smaller
    generating sites the remaining small possibility
    of common cause tripping is considered acceptable.

DULAS
43
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Loss of Mains Protection
  • All sites require under / over voltage and under
    / over frequency protection
  • Other Loss of Mains protection may be provided
    by
  • Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF)
  • Voltage Vector Shift
  • Reverse VAR
  • Other novel techniques

DULAS
44
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -

Islanding Detection and Protection (1)
  • Voltage
  • The voltage of all three phases shall be
    monitored.
  • The limits for operation are
  • for HV connection /- 10
  • for LV connection /- 14
  • The relay should have a time delay to avoid
    spurious trips due to remote faults.
  • The maximum total tripping time shall be 0.5
    seconds

DULAS
45
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Islanding Detection and Protection (1)
  • Frequency
  • The frequency of the supply shall be monitored,
    this can be single phase.
  • The limits for operation are
  • 4, -6 (i.e. 52Hz to 47Hz)
  • There is no requirement for a time delay.
  • The maximum total tripping time shall be 0.5
    seconds
  • The low frequency limit may be reduced to 46Hz,
    this may require additional generator frequency
    protection.

DULAS
46
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Loss of Mains Protection (1)
  • Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF)
  • True ROCOF detects the islanded condition
    rather than the onset of islanding.
  • Some ROCOF relays may also be sensitive to an
    initial change in voltage vector.
  • The limits of operation are
  • 2.5 Hz/second. This high level is specified to
    ensure minimum spurious tripping.
  • There is no requirement for a time delay.
  • The maximum total tripping time shall be 0.5
    seconds

DULAS
47
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Loss of Mains Protection (2)
  • Voltage Vector Shift
  • Voltage vector shift detects the onset on an
    islanded condition.
  • It is susceptible to spurious tripping due to
    grid distrurbances
  • The limits of operation are
  • 6 degrees in a half cycle.
  • This may be de-sensitised to up to 12 degrees.
  • There is no requirement for a time delay.
  • The maximum total tripping time shall be 0.5
    seconds

DULAS
48
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Loss of Mains Protection (3)
  • Reverse VAR
  • Reverse VAR relays detect the flow of reactive
    power from the generator to the grid. This will
    occur when during an islanded condition of a
    single generator.
  • Generators must have stable power factor control
    to use reverse VAR protection.
  • The limits of operation are to be agreed between
    the generating company and the CEB. Typically
    1-5 of the magnitude of maximum kW export.
  • A time delay of up to 5 seconds may be required.

DULAS
49
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Loss of Mains Protection (4)
  • Intertripping
  • Intertripping is a direct means of islanding
    protection. It can provide a reliable method of
    tripping isanded generators without any common
    cause problems.
  • A trip signal is sent from the circuit breaker or
    recloer responsible for the islanding.
  • The reliability is dependant upon the security of
    the trip signal communication method. Reliability
    should be assessed for each particular site. A
    fail safe method of communication should be used.

DULAS
50
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Loss of Mains Protection (5)
  • Fault Thrower
  • This is a special application of a fault thrower.
  • The fault thrower would be installed at the
    source sub station and would operate following
    the opening of the source circuit breaker.
  • Operation would be delayed to allow generator
    relays to operate if sufficient load imbalance
    exists.
  • It is only effective for generators connected
    between the source breaker and the first auto
    recloser.

DULAS
51
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Loss of Mains Protection (6)
  • Other novel techniques
  • The Guide does not preclude the use of novel
    techniques that may be developed to achieve a
    dependable and reliable loss of mains function.
  • An example is the use of sensitive ROCOF blocked
    by voltage vector shift to prevent operation
    during general grid instability.

DULAS
52
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -

Islanding Network Protection
  • Detection of islanding will not be possible in
    all situations, for example a perfect load /
    generator balance may exist.
  • Secondary protection may be used such as
  • dead line or synch check on auto reclosing
    devices
  • Neutral Voltage Displacement (NVD)
  • NVD is a dependable means of satisfying safety
    requirements and mitigating the risks of islanded
    operation.
  • Details on NVD protection are given in the Guide.

DULAS
53
Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generators -
Sri Lanka
Interconnection Protection Requirements
  • The type and size of generator connection is
    classified into five cases and the protection
    requirements defined for each case.
  • The factors that define which case applies are
  • Generation site capacity
  • Generator type
  • Ratio of minimum captive load and maximum
    capacity
  • Capacity and interconnection protection of other
    generators on the same distribution line and sub
    station.

Where a total generating capacity is less than
500 kW there is a reduced requirement for
information from the Generating Company. This
information requirement is listed on page
A34 Where Induction, or Asynchronous,
generators are proposed the same information
should be provided where relevant to the
induction type generator.
