    Electrical Systems in Power Plants - An Overview

    Uploaded by

    Somnath Das
    Electrical systems in power plants serve several vital functions: (1) Starting auxiliary systems needed for plant startup, which are mostly driven by electric motors; (2) Power generation via generators connected to the high voltage system; (3) Evacuating and distributing power within the plant and to the grid or consumers. The electrical system also controls auxiliary systems, provides emergency backup power, and supports other systems like plant safety, lighting, communications, and monitoring. Electrical design considerations include voltage levels, component ratings, protection schemes, and ensuring independent emergency power.

    Electrical System – The Vital
    Link..
    Electrical systems in a power plant are a vital link in the
    process of power generation. The vital link includes:

     Starting
     Generation
     Power evacuation & distribution
     Control of auxiliary system
     Support systems
     Emergency backup
    Elect. Power to start a power plant
    The auxiliaries of a power plant which needs to be put into operation for plant
    startup are mostly driven by electrical motors and in some instances using
    steam turbine as prime movers ( eg.: feed pumps, fans etc..).

    In a power plant in addition to catering to the auxiliaries of
    the power plant, the following support systems are
    engineered as a part of the electrical discipline.

    • Lighting system
    • Cable and cable carrier systems
    • Communication
    • Fire alarm & detection system
    • Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition
    Emergency Systems .

    • Start

    Safety • Operation
    • Shutdown

    Emergency power is provided through:


    • Power from a secure system independent of the electrical system of the
    power plant
    • DG set
    • Battery backed AC UPS and DC systems
