Summary of the projects

 Since 6-Jun-2011, I am working with M/s siemens ltd as project executive of

400kv switch yard on Mundra project. There are so many quality points
raised by the clients such as Improper earthing, cable laying, cable tray
erection, bolting, painting ,Rusting of the structural material, jump ring of
moose wire and progress etc. these are the points which is pinching
company management and disturbing the site progress. As per my Boss
instruction I have stars my work and found that switchyard is in very bad
condition earth strip of the tower, equipment is not connected to the
specified position and not touch the equipment body. Earth pits of the
switchyard is hearting the siemens status and quality, same condition of the
above mentioned points. I have feel that , I am going to face the very
challenging job on this site. Man power is also a very big problem for me
because the balance erection work is also in pick situation. We are behind
the progress curve. Material management of site is very bad, on site no
body is taking responsibility to take to maintain the material handling.

CURRENT TRANSFORMER

CT are of two types : live tank, dead tank.

• in live tank the ct primary & secondary are on top.
.
• in dead tank ct the primary is on top and secondary cores are on bottom
of tank.
• Steps down high current to low current for two reasons mainly
measurement & protection purpose.
• The secondary current for all ct is commonly 1 or 2 amps.
• The no of secondary cores depends on recruitment mainly 2 ,4 or 5 etc.
• For measurement purpose separate core should be used because of
100% accuracy is needed..
• the material used for secondary of metering ct is nickel iron alloy.
• the material used for secondary of protection ct is grain oriented silicon
steel.
• Note: The secondary cores of ct should never be opened because of high
voltage will be at the terminal.

LIGHTING ARRESTOR

Application

1.lightning arrester is used to suppress the abnormal

voltages which are caused due to lightning etc.
2.LA basically requires a non linear material.
3.It requires high resistance to limit the discharge
current.
4.It requires low resistance during surges etc.

REQUIREMENTS OF PROTECTIVE RELAYS
SENSITIVITY : The relay shall be sensitive to operate for
minimum quantity of operating parameter.

SELECTIVITY: The relay/scheme should be able to select the faulty

section and isolate.
SPEED : The relay should operate faster so that fault is
isolated as fast as possible.

RELIABILITY: The relay/scheme should operate for all types of fault with
repeatability and reliability.

COST: The relay/scheme should be economical .

WAVE TRAP
Wave trap and line trap is current rated device it is undesirable to
operate such equipment above the name plate ratings. In the
most cases uprating, wave trap will require replacement.

APPLICATION

Wave trap is a parallel tuned indicator-capacitor ‘tank’

circuit made to be resonant at the desired communication
frequency . It is the effort to utilize the same
transmission line between two substation for the purpose
of communications. At this communication frequencies
the tank ckt. Provide the high impedance and does not
allow to pass through them and onto the substation bus
and into transducer.
 ABT METER
ABT system is the meter oriented and moniter the block wise
parameter for the accounting purpose
ISOLATOR

Application

1.It is used to make or break the circuit under no load condition .

2.Mostly there are two types of isolators: hcb (horizontal centre break),
double break etc.
3.Double break isolators is mostly used for low voltage rating.
4.Again these hcb are of two types : gang operated & individual operated
per phase).
Note: A isolator cannot be operated under load condition.
CAPACITOR VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER

Application

1.Basically a cvt steps down high voltage to low voltage with help of capacitors. Hence
the name capacitor voltage transformer.
2.The secondary terminal voltage of cvt are 63.5v
3.A cvt consists of : 2 coupling capacitors, compensating reactor, step down transformer
and Ferro resonance suppression circuit.
4.The use of compensating reactor is to compensate the phase displacement in
capaictor elements.
5.Ferro resonance in cvt is due to the capacitor in voltage divider in series with
inductance of transformer.
6.The Ferro resonance circuit is brought to resonance by disturbances in network that
may saturate the iron core which leads to insulation breakdown.
CIRCUIT BREAKER

Application

.1.It is used to break or make the circuit under both (load & no load) condition.
2.While opening of breaker a huge amount of spark will be at open & closed contacts. For
reliable operation of breaker the arc should be extinguished immediately after opening of
moving contacts.
3.For arc extinguish mainly : vacuum, sf6,air are used.
4.For low voltage ratings mainly vacuum & air blast breakers are used.
5.For high voltage sf6 breakers are commonly used.
REACTOR

In reactor there are only 3- windings and one neutral and one
netral grounding reactor which is link with reactor neutral
bushing

Application
1.It is used to compensate the Ferranti effect in long
distance lines.
Ferranti effect: receiving end voltage is greater than
sending end.
2.It is always connected in parallel to line.
3.It is used in terminal end of transmission line to
neutralize the reactive power generated by the line
capacitance
4. It consumes reactive power
5.It reduce the voltage at receiving end
 SCADA SYSTEM

The energy control center receives various type of data from the
power system . This data include breaker status, tap changer
position, amp, voltage, volts, watts, VARs, and other quantities
both digital and analog again data travels over distances ranging
from few miles to several hundred.
In most modern energy control center , the remote data monitoring
and system control function for substation application are
performed by SCADA system.

Nature of PQM

 Project quality management must address both the

management of the project and the product of the project.
 Failure to meet quality requirements in either dimension
can have serious and negative consequences for any or all
of the project stakeholders
Tools and Techniques for Quality Control
 Control Charts
1. These charts are graphical representations that display
the result of a process over time and are used to
determine if the process is “in control”
2. When in control the process should not be adjusted ,
however it may be changed in order to provide
improvements
3. Control charts may be used to monitor any type of output
variable
4. Control charts are most often used to monitor repetitive
activity in production but can also be used to monitor cost
and schedule variances
