Major Power System Disturbances After the Initial Cause

They may result in islands with:

  • Insufficient generation (load-rich)

experiencing a decay in system frequency,

  • r
  • Insufficient load (generation-rich)

experiencing a rise in system frequency

Immediately After the Initiating Cause

Frequency rise and decay are automatically arrested by:

  • Load rejection,
  • Load shedding,
  • Low frequency isolation scheme, and
  • Controlled islanding.

Immediately After the Initiating Cause

Success rate: Over fifty percent ! Challenge: Coordination of control and protective systems between power plants and electrical system.

Load Rejections

Generation Rich

To match generation with load, load rejections are used

Full-load Rejection:

  • The main generator breaker trips
  • Loss of synchronization and full-load
  • Steam generators runback from full-load to no-load (7%).

Partial-load Rejection:

  • The main generator breaker remains closed
  • Loss of partial load (10 to 30%)
  • Steam generator usually requires no-runback

Depends on % of PLR

  • Germany: One in two (50%)
  • France: One to four in five (20 to 80%)
  • Ontario Power: Eight in twelve reactors (66%)1
  • Italy: Few thermal units successfully load-rejected2
  • USA: Analysis of 50 BTG trips, 30% due to TG, 42%

due to BT & 28% due to operators3

Under-frequency Load Shedding

Load Rich

To match load with generation, under- frequency load shedding is used:

  • Number of frequency step, 3
  • Frequency set points, 59.3, 58.9 and 58.5Hz
  • Load shed per step, 10%
  • Fixed time delay per step, 5-8 cycles
  • Correct operation of over 50%

Under-frequency Load Shedding

  • Shed radial feeders, interrupting many small loads
  • Restore the interrupted load manually at about

59.3 Hz

  • Have experienced incorrect operation at high and

low temperatures

  • Have observed difference in frequency as much as

0.2 Hz

  • Assume the change in load as 0.5% per 0.1 Hz

Low Frequency Isolation Scheme

After the Initial Event

4 - 100 MW, 13.8 kV Generators 13.8/69 kV Xfmrs 69 kV Bus Cables 69/13.2 kV Xfmrs 13.2 kV Bus Municipal Load 2 - 5,000 HP Motors

Low Frequency Isolation Schemes

Performance

Over 50 US utilities have successfully used LFIS to isolate

  • ne or more generators with matching loads.

The majority:

  • Use automatic under-frequency relay to initiate the action,
  • Select generators for isolation,
  • Set the under-frequency relay between 58 and 58.5 Hz., &
  • Allow time delay of 6 to 8 cycles, and

Controlled Islanding

After the Initial Event

  • Initial Events: Faults occur and are cleared

in milli-seconds

  • Subsequent Effects: Systems separate into islands

in seconds

  • Final Results: Load & gen. imbalance causes blackout

in minutes

(c) IRD 2004 20

Conjectures

(Not Fully Verified)

  • Out-of-Step Location:

Depends on the prevailing system configuration and load level, Is independent of initial fault location or fault intensity, and Occurs one operation at a time (cascades) with adequate time interval.

  • Transfer Tripping Locations:

Split the system into two parts (islands), and Each part having minimal load and generation imbalance.

Out-of-step blocking relays:

  • Prevent separation where there is heavy power

flow (unbalanced load and generation). Transfer tripping relays:

  • Allow separation where there are light power

flows (balanced load and generation).

The Graceful Degradation Phase

Past Experience: The probability of success in retaining initial sources

  • f power by:
  • Full and Partial Load Rejections,
  • Under-frequency Load Shedding
  • Low Frequency Isolation Schemes,
  • Controlled System Separation, and

has been greater than 50%. Future Challenge:

Need better control & protection coordination between:

  • Prime mover’s (BTG), and
  • Electrical systems.

  • List and rank the initial sources of power by

availability, and

  • Determine the most effective ways of

bringing the two together.
