ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The dissertation has been prepared based on the vocational
training undergone in a highly esteemed organization of
Eastern region, Maithon Hydel Power Station (MHPS) is located
on the river Barakar about 12.9 km above its confluence with
the Damodar near the border of Dhanbad & Burdwan districts
of the states of Jharkhand & West Bengal respectively. The
unique feature of this is that it is located underground in the
left bank of the river and is the first of its kind in India. The
power station has a total generating capacity of 60 MW with 3
units of 20 MW each. MHPS is located at almost 1000 feet
below the water level,and is the first of its kind, in South East
Asia. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the
authorities of MAITHON HYDEL POWER STATION
and BANKURA UNNAYANI INSTITUTE OF
ENGINEERING for providing me such an opportunity to
undergo training in the Hydel power plant of DVC, MHPS. I

DAMODAR VALLEY CORPORATION
Damodar Valley Corporation is the first ever multipurpose river valley
project of independent India which came into being on July 7, 1948 by an Act
of the constituent Assembly ( Act no. Xiv, 1948).Having command area of 24,325
sq.kms spreading across the damodar basin , boundaries of which transcends
the state of Jharkhand & West Bengal . The upper valley consists of two
entirely districts ( Dhanbad & Bokaro) & eight districts partly ( Hazaribagh,
Koderma, Giridih, chhatra, Palamu, Ranchi, Lohardaga & dumka) in the state of
Jharkhand .The lower valley on the other hand consist of five districts partly
( Burdwan & Hoogly, Howrah,Bankura,& purulia) in the state of West Bengal.Since
the beginning, DVC has given due emphasis on power generation & distribution,
besides flood control and irrigation, eco conservation & socio- economic
development.
Today DVC power is a vital input to core sectors including Steel plants , Railways,
collieries along with State Electricity Boards of Jharkhand & West Bengal, big &
medium industries within & beyond the Damodar Valley.
DVC was set up with the intent of promoting & operating the schemes which may
cause social and economic uplift in the valley region. DVC has already established
it existence in discharging its obligations for more than five decades in perfect
harmony. The difficult but effective water management by Corporation has
turned the devastating river Damodar from ‘River of Sorrow’ to ‘River of
Prospects and opportunities’.Proficient management of water resources through
dams ,canals & barrage, DVC facilitates irrigation as well as industrial & domestic
water supply which at large benefited the region as a whole. It has also
contributed significantly in conservation of soil & promotion of schemes of social
integration in valley area.

 Pollution control at its thermal power stations and
 Combating soil erosion and soil decay in order to restoreand preserve
the quality of the land.
PollutionControl
Pollutants in the formof ash and emissions fromstack arethe major sources
of pollution at coal-based thermal power stations. In old units, of DVC, at
Bokaro, Chandrapura and Durgapur, which werecommissioned, before
pollution control standards becamestringent, the following measures have
been taken to bring the pollutants within the limits:
 Initiation / installation of ESPs with additional fields to bring down
emission within limits.
 Renovation of de-ashing and ash handling system.
 Installation of oil and grease separator.
 Plantation in and around plant areas, ash disposalareas and outside the
projectareas.
Modern units at MTPS, commissioned during 1990s, comply with latest
pollution control norms, including the provision of reuse and recycling of
maximum affluent to conserveland and water.
DVC’s solid wastemanagement systemconsists of evacuation of ash
fromthe ash ponds at BTPS, CTPS and DTPS, transported in protective
manner and dumped into abandoned open castcoal mines of CCL, BCCL
and ECL respectively. After filling up of the mines is over, the top surface
is covered with earth of sufficientthickness to facilitate growth of
vegetation

SCADA
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have traditionally
played a vital role by providing utilities with valuable knowledge and capabilities
that are key to a primary business function – delivering power in a reliable and
safe manner. A quality SCADA solution is central to effective operation of a
utility's most critical and costly distribution, transmission, and generation assets.
The challenging issues for SCADA systems and projects today are not the same as
they were a few years ago. Today, there is much more importance placed on
integration, use of new communication and network technologies, access to
information by more users, and other purposes.
Today’s SCADA systems, in response to changing business needs, have added new
functionalities and are aids for strategic advancements towards interactive, self
healing smart grids of the future. A modern SCADA system is also a strategic
investment which is a must-have for utilities of all sizes facing the challenges of
the competitive market and increased levels of real time data exchange that
comes with it (independent market operator, regional transmission operator,
major C&I establishments, etc.). A well planned and implemented SCADA system
not only helps utilities deliver power reliably and safely to their customers but
also helps to lower costs and achieve higher customer satisfaction and retention.
Modern SCADA systems are already contributing and playing a key role at many
utilities towards achieving:
 New levels in electric grid reliability
 Increased revenue.
 Proactiveproblem detection and resolution
 Higher reliability.
 Meeting the mandated power quality requirements
 Increased customer satisfaction.
 Real time strategic decision making costreductions and increased revenue.

The basic components of a substation are
as follows:
AUTO TRANSFORMER
An autotransformer (sometimes called autostep down transformer) is an
electrical transformer with only one winding. The "auto" (Greek for "self") prefix
refers to the single coil acting on itself and not to any kind of automatic
mechanism. In an autotransformer portions of the same winding act as both the
primary and secondary transformer. The winding has at least three taps where
electrical connections are made. Autotransformers have the advantages of often
being smaller, lighter, and cheaper than typical dual-winding transformers, but
autotransformers havethedisadvantageof not providing electrical isolation.
WORKING
The primary voltage is applied across two of the terminals, and the secondary
voltage taken from two terminals, almost always having one terminal in common
with the primary voltage. The primary and secondary circuits therefore have a
number of windings turns in common. Since the volts-per-turn is the same in both
windings, each develops a voltage in proportion to its number of turns. In an
autotransformer part of the current flows directly from the input to the output,
and only part is transferred inductively, allowing a smaller, lighter, cheaper core
to be used as well as requiring only a single winding. One end of the winding is
usually connected in common to both the voltage source and the electrical load.
The other end of the sourceand load are connected to taps along the winding.
Different taps on the winding correspond to different voltages, measured from
the common end. In a step-down transformer the source is usually connected
across the entire winding while the load is connected by a tap across only a
portion of the winding. In a step up transformer, conversely, the load is attached
across the full winding while the source is connected to a tap across a portion of
the winding.

39. 39
POWER TRANSFORMER:
The use of power transformer in a switchyard is to change the voltage level. At the sending and
usually step up transformers are used to evacuate power at transmission voltage level. On
the other hand at the receiving end step down transformers are installed to match the voltage
to sub transmission or distribution level. In many switchyards autotransformers are used
widely for interconnecting two switchyards with different voltage level (such as 132 and 220
KV)
1-Main tank 2-Radiator 3-Reservoir tank 4-Bushing 5-WTI & OTI Index 6-Breather 7-Buccholz relay
CIRCUIT BREAKER
A circuit breaker is an equipment that breaks a circuit either manually or
automatically under all conditions at no load, full load or short circuit. Oil circuit
breakers, vacuum circuit breakers and SF6 circuit breakers are a few types of
circuit breakers.

40. 40
ISOLATOR
Isolators are switches which isolate the circuit at times and thus serve the
purposeof protection during off load operation.
CURRENT TRANSFORMER
These transformers used serve the purpose of protection and metering.
Generally the same transformer can be used as a current or potential
transformer depending on the type of connection with the main circuit that is
series or parallel respectively. In electrical system it is necessary to
a) Read current and power factor
b) Meter power consumption.
c) Detect abnormalities and feed impulse to protective devices.
POTENTIAL TRANSFORMER
In any electrical power system it is necessary to
a) Monitor voltage and power factor,
b) Meter power consumption,
c) Feed power to control and indication circuit and
d) Detect abnormalities

41. 41
(i.e. under/over voltage, direction of power flow etc) and feed impulse to
protective device/alarm circuit. Standard relay and metering equipments does not
permit them to be connected directly to the high voltage system.Potential
transformers therefore play a key role by performing the following functions.
a) Electrically isolating the instruments and relays fromHV side.
b) By transferring voltage from higher values to proportional standardized lower
values.
CONDUCTORS
Steel cored Aluminium (A.C.S.R)
Aluminium has low tensile strength, as a result produce greater sag which
prohibits their use for longer spans and makes them unsuitable for long distance
transmissions. So in order to increase the tensile strength of the aluminium
conductor, it is used with a core of galvanized steel wires. The combinational
conductor thus obtained is called as A.C.S.R. (Aluminium Conductor Steel
Reinforced)

42. 42
The above figure shows, one steel cored conductor wire surrounded by 18 wires
of aluminium. The aluminium carries bulk of current while the steel core takes a
greater percentage of mechanical stress.
 Produces smalllag and therefore can be used for longer spans.
 A.C.S.R. Conductor gets deteriorated in service due to atmospheric
corrosion.
Cadmium copper
Sometimes copper alloyed with cadmium is used. When 1 or 2 percentage of
cadmium is added to copper it increases the tensile strength by about 40
percentages but reduces the conductivity only by 17 percentages. Cadmium
copper is expensive than copper.
 Economical for a line with long spans and small crosssection.

43. 43
Insulator
The live equipments are mounted over the steel structures or suspended
from gantries with sufficient insulation in between them. In outdoor use
electrical porcelain insulators are most widely used.
Types of insulators
(a)Pin type insulators. (b)Suspension type insulators. (c)Strain typeinsulators.
(d)Shackleinsulators.
(a)Pin type insulators A pin type insulator is designed to be mounted on a pin,
which in turn is installed on cross-armof thepole. The insulator on the pin and
electrical conductor is placed in the grooveat the top of the insulator and soft
aluminium binding wire according to the material of the conductor.
 Pin type insulators made of glass aregenerally used for low voltages.
 Pin type insulators made of porcelain can be used up to 90kV but are rarely
used on lines above60kV
Suspension type insulators
 In a pin type insulator its cost is increased rapidly as the working voltageis
increased. Therefore pin type insulator is not economical beyond 33kV. So
it is as usualpractice to use suspension typeinsulators for voltagehigher
than 33kV.
 A pin type insulator sits on top of the cross arm, whereas a suspension
insulator hangs fromthe cross arm. The line conductor is attached to its

44. 44
lower end. Few advantages of suspension typeinsulators over Pin type
insulators are:
 Usually cheaper in cost for operating voltage above 50kV.
 Flexibility is increased with suspension insulators.
 If line insulation needs to be increased, the additional insulators can be
easily added to the string. In casethere is damage in any insulator, the
damaged insulator can be easily replaced.

45. 45
Bushing
A bushing is a hollow insulating liner through which a conductor maypass.
Bushings appear on switchgear, transformers, circuitbreakers and other high
voltage equipment .The bushing is a hollow insulator, allowing a conductor to
pass along its center and connect at both ends to other equipment. Bushings are
often made of wet-process fired porcelain, and may be coated with
semiconducting gglaze to assistin equalizing the electrical stress along the
length of the bushing. The inside of the bushing may contain paper insulation and
the bushing is often filled with oil to provideadditional insulation. Bushings for
medium-voltage and low-voltageapparatus may be made of resins reinforced
with paper. The useof polymer bushings for high voltage applications is becoming
more common.

46. 46
Capacitor voltage transformer
A capacitor voltagetransformer (CVT or CCVT),is a transformer used
in power systems to step down extra high voltage signals and provide a low
voltage signal, for metering or operating aprotective relay.
CVTs in combinationwith wave traps are used for filtering high-frequency
communication signals from power frequency.
WAVE TRAP
Wave Traps areused at sub-stations using Power Line Carrier Communication
(PLCC). PLCCis used to transmitcommunication and control information at a high
frequency over the power lines. This reduces need for a separate infra for
communication between sub-stations.
The Wave Traps extract the high frequency information fromthe power lines and
route it to the telecomm panels. They also block any surges frompassing through.
Wave Traps aresimply resonantcircuits that producea high impedance against
PLCC carrier frequencies (24kHz - 500kHz) whileallowing power frequency (50Hz -
60Hz).

47. 47
Pebbles flat flooring at substation
Two terms defined regarding floor of earthing system
 Touch potential(potb/w hand and structurals (gnd) when a person is
touching a grounded body like structure in switchyard.
 Steppotential(potdiff b/w the feet of a person walking in the switchyard)
now to minimize these potentials we put pebbles in place of flat flooring.
 To reduce the magnatic field in between ground and conductor.
 To reduce the growth of gress.
 To aviod entry of animals like Rats, snakes etc
 To reduce water storagein the yard in the rainy season.
Lighting Arrestor
Lightning arresters areprotective devices for limiting surgevoltages due
to lightning strikes or equipment faults or other events, to prevent
damage to equipment and disruption of service. Also called surge
arresters.
Lightning arresters areinstalled on many different pieces of equipment
such as power poles and towers, power transformers,circuitbreakers,
bus structures, and steel superstructures in substations

48. 48
Substation Batteries
The heart of a substation is the battery bank. If this were to fail, an electric utility
could expose all feeders associated with the station to a condition where they
could not ever trip in a fault. Not only that, but any backup devices, such as the
main breaker on the low-voltage side or the high-voltage side protection of the
power transformer, would all be inoperative, leaving the transmission grid
protection as the only possiblebackup.
In many cases, however, the transmission grid cannot perform this function
because a fault on the low-voltage side of a Delta Wye transformer, especially a
phase-to-ground fault, will convert to a phase-to-phase fault on the high side. This
would be particularly true if the fault was out a few miles from the station. This
could then cause such catastrophic consequences as burning wire down across
town and eventually destroying the substation transformer. After the smoke
clears, much of the substation could be heavily damaged and the power
transformer could be in flames. This is not to mention the hazard it would cause
to the public.

TRANSFORMER OIL
Transformer oil or insulating oil is usually a highly refined mineral oil that is stable
at high temperatures and has excellent electrical insulating properties. It is used
in oil filled transformers, some types of high voltage capacitors, fluorescent lamp
ballasts, and some types of high voltage switches and circuit breakers .Its
functions are to insulate, suppress corona and arcing, and to serveas a coolant.
On-site testing
Some transformer oil tests can be carried out in the field, using portable test
apparatus. Other tests, such as dissolved gas, normally require a sample to be
sent to a laboratory. Electronic on-line dissolved gas detectors can be
connected to important or distressed transformers to continually monitor gas
generation trends.To determine the insulating property of the dielectric oil, an
oil sample is taken from the device under test, and its breakdown voltage is
measured on-site according the following test sequence:
 In the vessel, two standard-compliant test electrodes with a typical
clearance of 2.5 mm are surrounded by the insulating oil.
 During the test, a test voltage is applied to the electrodes. The test voltage
is continuously increased up to the breakdown voltage with a constant slew
rate of e.g. 2 kV/s.
 Breakdown occurs in an electric arc, leading to a collapse of the test
voltage.
 Immediately after ignition of the arc, the test voltage is switched off
automatically.
 Ultra fast switch off is crucial, as the energy that is brought into the oil and
is burning it during the breakdown, must be limited to keep the additional
pollution by carbonisation as low as possible.
 The root mean square value of the test voltage is measured at the very
instant of the breakdown andis reported as the breakdown voltage.
 After the test is completed, the insulating oil is stirred automatically and
the test sequence isperformed repeatedly.
 The resulting breakdown voltage is calculated as mean value of the
individual measurements.

78. 78
DGA or Dissolved Gas Analysis of
Transformer Oil
Whenever electrical power transformer goes under abnormal thermal
and electrical stresses, certain gases are produced due to
decomposition of transformer insulating oil, when the fault is major,
the production of decomposed gases are more and they get collected in
Buchholz relay. But when abnormal thermal and electrical stresses are
not significantly high the gasses due to decomposition of transformer
insulating oil will get enough time to dissolve in the oil. Hence by only
monitoring the Buchholz relay it is not possible to predict the condition
of the total internal healthiness of electrical power transformer. That is
why it becomes necessary to analyse the quantity of different gasses
dissolved in transformer oil in service. From dissolved gas analysis of
transformer Oil or DGA of transformer oil, one can predict the actual
condition of internal health of a transformer. It is preferable to conduct
the DGA test of transformer oil in routine manner to get prior
information about the trend of deterioration of transformer health and
life.
Actually in dissolved gas analysis of transformer oil or DGA of
transformer oil test, the gases in oil are extracted from oil and analyze
the quantity of gasses in a specific amount of oil. By observing
percentages of different gasses present in the oil, one can predict the
internal condition of transformer.
Generally the gasses found in the oil in service are hydrogen (H2),
methane (CH4), Ethane (C2H6), ethylene (C2H4), acetylene (C2H3), carbon
monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen(N2) and oxygen(O2).
Generally it is found that hydrogen and methane are produced in large
quantity if internal temperature of power transformer rises up to 150°C
to 300°C due to abnormal thermal stresses. If temperature goes above
300°C, ethylene (C2H4) are produced in large quantity. At the

79. 79
temperature is higher than 700°C large amount of hydrogen (H2) and
ethylene (C2H4) are produced.

Losses of Transformers
The transformers aremade of 2 types of materials: Iron and Copper. The core of a
transformer is made of Iron whereas thewinding which is wrapped over the iron
core is made up of Copper.
Correspondingly there are 2 types of losses: Iron Loss and Copper Loss. Iron and
Copper losses are measuredby open circuit andshort circuit tests.
TESTS OF DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS
Two tests are conducted for testing transformers. These tests are known by
different names as describedinthe table below.

Protective Relay
A relay is automatic device which senses an abnormal condition of electrical
circuit and closes its contacts. These contacts in turns close and complete the
circuit breaker trip coil circuit hence make the circuit breaker tripped for
disconnecting the faulty portion of the electrical circuit from rest of the healthy
circuit.
Types of Relays
Types of protection relays are mainly based on their characteristic, logic, on
actuating parameter and operation mechanism.
Based on operation mechanism protection relay can be categorized as
electromagnetic relay, static relay and mechanical relay. Actually relay is nothing
but a combination of one or more open or closed contacts. These all or some
specific contacts the relay change their state when actuating parameters are
applied to the relay. That means open contacts become closed and closed
contacts become open. In electromagnetic relay these closing and opening of
relay contacts are done by electromagnetic action of a solenoid.
In mechanical relay these closing and opening of relay contacts are done by
mechanical displacement of different gear level system.
In static relay it is mainly done by semiconductor switches like thyristor. In digital
relay on and off state can be referred as 1 and 0 state.
Basedon Characteristic the protectionrelay canbe categorizedas-
 Definite time relays
 Inversetime relays with definite minimum time(IDMT)
 Instantaneous relays.
 IDMTwith inst.
 Stepped characteristic.
 Programmed switches.
 Voltage restraint over current relay.

83. 83
Basedon of logic the protectionrelay canbe categorizedas-
Differential.
 Unbalance.
 Neutral displacement.
 Directional.
 Restricted earth fault.
 Over fluxing.
 Distance schemes.
 Bus bar protection.
 Reversepower relays.
 Loss of excitation.
 Negative phasesequence relays etc.
Basedon actuating parameter the protectionrelay canbe categorizedas-
 Currentrelays.
 Voltage relays.
 Frequency relays.
 Power relays etc.
Basedon applicationthe protectionrelay canbe categorizedas-
 Primary relay.
 Backup relay. Primary relay or primary protection relay is the first line of
power system protection whereas backup relay is operated only when
primary relay fails to be operated during fault. Hence backup relay is slower
in action than primary relay. Any relay may fail to be operated due to any of
the following reasons,
 The protective relay itself is defective.
 DC Trip voltage supply to the relay is unavailable.
 Trip lead from relay panel to circuit breaker is disconnected.
 Trip coil in the circuit breaker is disconnected or defective.
 Currentor voltage signals fromCT or PT respectively is unavailable.
As because backup relay operates only when primary relay fails, backup
protection relay should not have anything common with primary protection relay.

84. 84
Some examples of Mechanical Relay are-
 Thermal
 OT trip (Oil Temperature Trip)
 WT trip (Winding Temperature Trip)
 Bearing temp trip etc.
 Float type
 Buchholz
 OSR
 PRV
 Water level Controls etc.
 Pressureswitches.
 Mechanical interlocks.
 Pole discrepancy relay.

TAP CHANGER
A tap changer is a connection point selection mechanism along a
power transformer winding that allows a variable number of turns to be selected in
discrete steps. A transformer with a variable turns ratio is produced, enabling
stepped voltage regulation of the output. The tap selection may be made via an
automatic or manual tap changer mechanism.
TAP CHANGING
Off-circuit designs (NLTC or DETC)
Also called No-Load Tap Changer (NLTC), off-circuit tap changer, or De-
Energized Tap Changer (DETC).
In low power, low voltage transformers, the tap point can take the form of a
connection terminal, requiring a power lead to be disconnected by hand and
connected to the new terminal. Alternatively, the process may be assisted by
means of a rotary or slider switch.
Since the different tap points are at different voltages, the two connections can
not be made simultaneously, as this would short-circuit a number of turns in the
winding and produce excessive circulating current. Consequently, the power to
the device must be interrupted during the switchover event. Off-circuit or de-
energized tap changing (DETC) is sometimes employed in high voltage
transformer designs, although for regular use, it is only applicable to installations

89. 89
in which the loss of supply can be tolerated. In power distribution networks,
transformers commonly include an off-circuit tap changer on the primary winding
to accommodate system variations within a narrow band around the nominal
rating. The tap changer will often be set just once, at the time of installation,
although it may be changed later during a scheduled outage to accommodate a
long-term change in the system voltage profile.
On-load designs (OLTC)
Also called on circuit tap changer or On Load Tap Changer (OLTC)
For many power transformer applications, a supply interruption during a tap
change is unacceptable, and the transformer is often fitted with a more expensive
and complex on-load tap-changing (OLTC, sometimes LTC) mechanism. On-
load tap changers may be generally classified as either mechanical,
electronically assisted, or fully electronic.
