Instrumentation, Controls & Electrical
SPPA-E3000 Switchgear Control
and Protection Upgrade
modernizes control and protection of the
auxiliary power system and integrates it into
our DCS SPPA-T3000 for operator control and
monitoring.
The Task
Reliable operation of the auxiliary power system
is essential to the availability of the power plant.
As of a certain age, switchgear controls are no
longer able to cope with requirements.
Your Benefits
■ High plant safety
and availability thanks
to reliable protection
technology and rapid
load transfer
■ Protection for the assets
invested in the power plant
■ Low-cost maintenance
and replacement parts
■ Higher availability thanks
to faster response by the
control room staff
Our Solution
offers comprehensive modernization of control
and protection systems and their seamless
integration into our instrumentation and
controls.
Human-machine interface
■ Integration into the existing DCS SPPA-T3000
via IEC 61850 protocol improves and harmonizes operator control and enhances transparency, thus achieving higher power plant
availability
■ SPPA-T3000 as station I&C where other
manufacturers' I&C implemented
Our services comprise:
■ design and configuration (basic and detail
engineering) tailored to the power plant
■ selection of high-quality products
■ procurement of quality-assured products
■ time-optimized installation/commissioning
■ complete documentation
■ best-in-class project management
(VGB Quality Award)
Switchgear control
■ fast busbar transfer system
■ automatic reclosing
■ reverse blocking
Protection of auxiliary power supply
■ check-out of existing protection
■ if necessary, computational analysis of
protection needs and elaboration of a new
protection solution
Modern control and protection systems enhance the availability
of the auxiliary power system.
Siemens' modern protection philosophies satisfy
the most sophisticated requirements in terms of
precise response thanks to special hardware,
redundant configuration and instrumentation
based on diverse-mode measurements.
The SIPROTEC multifunction relays used are
a high-quality, digital technology that sets
the benchmark for modern protection systems.
