Automation system for Shulbinsk Hydro Power Station

Customer : JSC «AES Shulba Heat and Power Plant ГЭС», Shulbinsk

Automation Object Description

Shulba Hydro Power Plant is situated on the river Irtysh. Hydraulic structures consist of solid, by-wash and station parts of the dam. The Hydro Power Plant building adjusts to the station part of the dam. The supply conduits are situated in the dam body. 6 adjustable- blade turbines of ПЛ 100/2556-В45-600 type with capacity 117 Mwatt and water expenditure 300m3/c with the rated head 28m are set in the building of the Hydro Power Plant. Max water head is 28 m. The capacity output in the energy system is carried out in 4 current lines 220 kV.

The outdoor switchgear 220 kV is carried out with the system of transfer bars. The water-wheel alternators work in blocks supplied with the transformers having the capacity of 250Мwatt. 3 whole station house transformers switched through the switches to the current distributors of the generators are set in the Hydro Power station.

	Automation system requirements Automation system provides operative and service staff with the exact information which is given in the most convenient form for effective control of workflow when producing energy in normal, malfunction and post fault conditions of Hydro Power station.
The main symbolic circuit of Hydro Power Station

System structure

Automation system is based on 10 reserved controllers SIMATIC PCS7 AS414-4-2H with input-output stations ET200M and represents a 2-level distribution system working on-line.
Information exchange between the upper and lower levels is carried out through fiber-optic net Industrial Ethernet provided with «MOXA» commutators.
Input-output stations ET200M supplied with the function of “hot” input-output modules substitution are used.

Information exchange between the input-output stations ET200M and controllers SIMATIC PCS7 AS414-4-2H is carried out through the reserved net Profibus DP.
Current and stored information representation is displayed in 3 engineering work stations of the technological staff and on operation boards TP270 which are situated on boards set near hydraulic units.
To control power quality Simeas P devices are used.

To synchronize all the devices and adapt system time to world time SICLOCK WINGPS device is used.
