Engineering Concept
UNITROL 6800 systems can be built with up to three control channels: two fully featured channels and one back-up channel for emergency control of the generator. The back-up channel is a single Communication, Control and Measurement (CCM) unit. Its separate hardware and different software guarantee utmost system availability. Each channel is able to control all modules of the redundant power converter. Each module is connected via its own Converter Control Interface (CCI), which also provides diagnostic and maintenance functions including transient recorder. Converter Signal Interface (CSI) and Gate Driver Interface (GDI) provide potential barriers inside the power converter. On the system level Combined Input Output (CIO) units are used to interface with internal and external analog and digital I/O signals, 100% redundant if required.

Power System Stabilizer (PSS) Since many years, ABB has been deeply involved in the development and application of Power System Stabilizers. The PSS function improves the stability of the generator and the transmission system as a whole by using the excitation to damp power oscillations. PSS types optionally available for UNITROL 6800: Acc. to IEEE Std. 421.5-2005 PSS2A / 2B Acc. to IEEE Std. 421.5-2005 PSS4B Multiband PSS Adaptive PSS (APSS) developed by ABB Switzerland Synchronous Machine Transient Simulator Real Time (SMTS-RT 6000) The new SMTS-RT 6000 simulates a generator / motor, its turbine / load and the grid. The simulator is connected to the SES for closed-loop test to analyze its stationary and transient behavior. A bidirectional fiber optic cable is the only connection needed to link the simulator to UNITROL 6800 system. In combination with a power amplifier, SMTS-RT 6000 can be applied to any excitation system. SMTS-RT 6000 can reduce the testing time of your machine, save costs and serve as a perfect training tool for maintenance and operation personnel. Commissioning time can be further reduced by tuning control parameter sets in advance, using the simulator and a UNITROL 6800 control device.
Grid codes UNITROL 6800 control functionality is prepared to support any grid code, such as the North America Reliability Corporation (NERC).
The extensive pre-set testing functions and power ful data recorders of the Excitation Control Terminal (ECT) serve to test, tune and prove the performance of control, stabilizer and limiter functions. System frequency response can be analyzed quickly and accurately using the built-in white noise generator. This method allows minimum testing time and grid disturbance. Data records are stored in the ECTs dedicated memory and can easily be copied and integrated into electronic documents. In combination with SMTS-RT 6000 it is possible to simulate the most critical plant or grid situations, which are typically impossible to test with a real generator.
Power converter The power converter contains one or more converter modules selected and connected in order to meet the system requirements with respect to duty cycle and availability. ABB has developed a range of power converters dedicated to SES, for example D5, UNL 13300 and UNL 14300. The latter can be equipped with 3 or 4 thyristors. Main features: AC supply voltage up to 1500 V High insulation level HiPot test voltage up to 7.5 kV Redundant fans, replaceable during operation (option) Low noise level of cooling fans 70 dB(A) Active current balance control Optional features of UNL 14300 power converter: Draw out design Safe test position for online repair and function tests Removal or replacement of the power part with a moduletrolley
