Islanding System in RSP
An Overview
Islanding
Deliberate act of Isolation of a running Unit/s with compatible loads to save the Unit/s from tripping when Grid is having unstable condition.
RSP Power System..
Islanding Scheme
Islanding with One unit..

Evolution of Islanding Scheme
Since inception
Isolation from grid at CPP-I and RM-1 through voltage dependent U/F relays.
Independent Relays at CPP-1 and RM-1
1987
CPP-2 units commissioned No Islanding scheme was available for CPP-2 units.
1989
Single Unit Islanding scheme commissioned
U/F, -dF/dt & U/V isolation provided
Scheme suggested by Consultant (TCE) Although Double Unit Islanding scheme was provided by consultant, it was not taken into service.
Evolution of Islanding Scheme
1999
Islanding on U/V kept defected.
To prevent isolation followed by tripping of Islanded unit during U/V caused by internal faults.
2000
DOC Islanding put into service
Current feedback to grid combined with Under Voltage initiated isolation Isolation of HSL Fdr- 1&2 at MSDS-II IEC SI curve for DOC
DU and SU islanding also included in the scheme.
Evolution of Islanding Scheme
2002
Numerical Islanding relay installed at MSDS-2 DOC / DEF combined with U/V used for double unit isolation.
2005
DOC /DEF combined with U/V implemented for Single Unit Islanding also.
2006
Islanding scheme as in service now implemented.
Features of Present Scheme
Sensing of all islanding conditions shifted to MSDS-2 ( Common Coupling point) dF/dt rise, Over voltage , Over Frequency, Under Voltage and Vector Shift introduced. IEC EI characteristics for DOC/ DEF
For in-sensitivity to remote end faults
Directional O/C & E/F relays introduced in grid side of HSL fdr.
To prevent tripping in case of grid fault.
Dynamic relay setting for single Unit/ single Feeder configuration. Dedicated Islanding Panel commissioned in MSDS-2
Constraints.
Post islanding stability of CPP-2 units is not satisfactory.
No of failure of Units after successful isolation is very high
Problems attributed to Governing & Excitation system
System is not designed from islanding perspective
No dedicated load connected to generator bus All grid faults are terminal faults to CPP-2 generators. Transmission & Distribution configuration is inadequate in isolated condition Multi-point isolation.
Constraints.
Constraints of Islanding Load
Fluctuating Loads have to be shed during islanded condition
Manual estimation islanding loads.
Post islanding load management feature not available Failure of islanding due to load-starvation
Failure of islanding due to non-system faults
Complicated Sequence logic Multiple islanding locations connected by control cabling CPP-2 unit status and Grid Power status not available in islanding scheme
Constraints
Difficult synchronization process
Synchronization facility not available in Common Coupling point ( MSD-2) Multiple operations required for synchronization. Multiple asynchronous points
CPP-1 & CPP-2 not running synchronism after islanding
Limit on islanding loads even in presence of generation capability
Information for Disturbance / Failure analysis not available
Actions
Dedicated control cables between islanding locations
Status of Grid side CB of HSL feeders and CPP-2 unit CB shall be available No. of interposing relays shall be reduced- Islanding commands shall be transmitted radially.
Cable Laying job under progress- completion expected by Mar07
Redundant Islanding relays
Ensure 100% sensing of islanding conditions
Commissioned in Jun06
Third HSL Feeder to MSDS-3
HSM/LHF can run during islanding(if power is available) Synchronization shall be easier.
Job under progress- expected by APR07
