All synchronous generators in power plants deliver electricity to the electrical center rail. Similarly, all the channels are taking and that sends electrical power is connected to the rail.
1. Single rail plant
Single track rail arrangement which is relatively simple and least expensive, but it has disadvantages in terms of reliability, and service continuity and less flexible in its operation.
If there is damage to the rail, the entire electrical center must be extinguished if it will make improvements. Single track is best when used only in power plants that are not so important role in the system.
For improving the reliability of a single track, PMS section and split rails can be mounted into 2 groups and the right of the single track. Generating unit and part load connected on the left and some are linked in the right group. If there is damage to the rail that requires repair outages, the rail section is in need of repair can be disconnected by opening PMS sexy so sexy next to a rail that can be turned on or operated fixed.
Figure II.30 shows the electric generating station with a single track section using PMS.
Information
Tr: transformer
PMS Section: switch separator
G: Generator
PS: the use of its own (system usage)
In this way the operating flexibility to grow, especially when facing disturbance in the system.
Most of generating units or loads can be connected to other rail to rail 1 and 2. When one generating unit or load will be moved one rail, his first PMT should be opened, then followed the opening of PMS tracks to be released, a new insert PMS rail destination, the order should not be reversed.
If reversed, there will be a parallel relationship between rail tracks 1 and 2 are not necessarily the same voltage and dangerous. After completing the transfer of positions PMS, PMT entered. For generating units, income PMT must go through the process of synchronization. The process of moving loads from one rail to the other rail requires a blackout, when the PMT is opened.
The transfer of load or generation units from one rail to the other rail in practice can occur, for example, because there is damage that needs repairs during outages rail.
The transfer of loads from one rail to rail 2 can be done without blackouts, due to the presence of PMT 2 pieces (each one PMT for each rail) transfer of the load carried by closing rail destination, then open the removable rail PMT. Rel 1 and 2 voltage rails together, both magnitude and phasanya, after the PMT should be entered.
Compared with previous rails, rails with 1 ½ PMT has the highest reliability. If a rail crash, with the opening of all PMT numbered A along its PMS, fixed power can be channeled in full. If rail B impaired, by opening all numbered PMT B along with its PMS, fixed power can be channeled in full. If the rail tracks A and B have been affected, with the opening of all PMT PMT numbered numbered A and B along with its PMS, power can still be channeled though with reduced loading flexibility.
In large electrical centers (above 50 MW), rails are generally installed in the open space. If electricity is made in the center of town to save the use of land can be used SF6 gas tube rail and conductor rail spacing can be reduced to save the use of land. All generators and channels in the electrical center is connected to the rail, the rail will cause interference in wide. Construction of the rail must be carefully and properly in order to minimize the disruption.
