CHAPTER -3
REQUIREMENT OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS

In this Chapter, the requirement of electrical and mechanical equipments has been assessed for power generation stations, both hydro and thermal plants, as well as for power substations. This requirement has been worked out corresponding to the tentative capacity addition during the 11th and 12th Plans. Equipment for nuclear stations has not been considered as the same is separately expected to be done by Nuclear Power Corporation. Also the requirement of equipments and materials for nuclear plants is difficult to estimate which in any case is expected to be 3200 MW and 8800 MW in the 11th and 12th Plans respectively and therefore a small fraction of the total tentative capacity addition. 3.1 REQUIREMENT OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS FOR GENERATION PLANTS (INCLUDING SWITCHYARD EQUIPMENT)

The estimated requirement of electrical equipments for generation plants coming up during the 11th Plan and 12th Plans has been worked out considering tentative capacity addition identified for these Plans, details of which have been furnished in Chapter 2. Thermal projects for commissioning during the 11th and 12th Plan have been categorized in five major groups on the basis of their unit sizes. In case of thermal plants, requirement of major electrical equipment has been worked out for one unit of each of these categories and subsequently depending on the number of units in the respective categories, the total requirement has been assessed for 11th and 12th Plans. In case of hydro units such categorisation is not tenable since each project is site specific and therefore the total requirement of major equipments has been worked out for the 11 th and 12th Plan. Switchyard equipment at the generating stations has also been included. Details of the above assessment are given below. 3.1.1 Thermal Power Plants (Including Switchyard Equipment) The thermal plants have been categorized into five categories based on the unit size i.e. 660/800 MW, 500 MW, 300/250/210 MW class and 125 MW for coal/lignite plants, and gas/LNG modules. In case of Gas/LNG based power projects, numbers of modules( comprising of 2GTs and 1 ST) corresponding to each project have been assessed for 11th & 12th plans separately and as per the norms of equipment required for a typical 360 MW gas module, the total requirement of electrical equipment has been assessed. The requirement of electrical equipments for switchyards at the generating station has also been indicated. i) Item wise requirement of equipment for 660/800 MW category of thermal plants during 11th and 12th Plans is given in Table 3.1.

vii) Requirement of Switchyard equipments for different voltage levels corresponding to the unit size of each generation project have been assessed. For projects having unit size of 800 MW, switchyard equipments at voltage levels 765 kV and 132 kV have been considered. Similarly, for projects having unit size of 660 MW and 500 MW, switchyard equipments at voltage levels 400kV and 132 kV have been considered. For projects having unit size of 300/250/210 MW & Gas modules having unit size of 360 MW, switchyard equipments at voltage levels 220 kV have been considered. For projects having unit size of 125 MW requirement of switchyard equipment has not been considered since it would normally be at a voltage level of lesser than 132 kV. For assessment of electrical equipments for switchyard of generating stations, 6 bays have been considered for each coal/Lignite based project, and 8 bays for each module of gas project. The layout of the substations has been considered according to the prevailing practice for respective voltage levels. A Breaker and a half scheme has been assumed at 765 kV & 400 kV levels. For 220 kV level, Double main and transfer bus scheme has been assumed. Main and transfer bus scheme has been assumed at 132 kV.

Hydro Power Plants( including switchyard equipment)

For hydro plants, requirement of equipment has been assessed corresponding to a capacity addition of 17,189 MW during 11th Plan and a capacity addition of about 30,000 MW during 12th Plan. Since each hydro -plant is site specific; there is no set rule or norms for estimation. The broad basis followed in the estimation of the other components of hydro projects for 11th & 12th Plan is as under.

REQUIREMENT OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS FOR POWER SYSTEM

The requirement of electrical requirement for power system has been estimated based on the transmission expansion plans corresponding to tentative capacity addition during the 11th Plan. In case of 12th Plan, the transmission expansion has been assumed to be same as for the 11th Plan. The transmission expansion plans include the circuit length of transmission lines at respective voltage levels and details of substation requirement for the entire transmission system. Based on the number of substations and the voltage levels at each substation, the total number of bays at each voltage level has been estimated as shown below in the table 3.9.

The layout of the substations has been considered according to the prevailing practice for respective voltage levels. Breaker and half scheme has been assumed at 765 kV & 400 kV level. For 220 kV level, Double main and transfer bus scheme has been assumed. Main and transfer bus scheme has been assumed at 132 kV Based on the substation layout schemes for each voltage level as detailed above, the normative requirement of substation equipment for each bay corresponding to each voltage level have been evolved. The total requirement of substation equipment has been assessed based on these norms. Details of the same are as furnished in the following paras.

While assessing the above requirement, Breaker and Half scheme has been considered for 765 kV & 400 kV level. For 220 kV level, Double Main and Transfer bus scheme has been considered and for 132 kV, Main and Transfer Bus scheme has been considered. SUMMARY In this Chapter, requirement of electrical equipments for hydro and thermal power projects, along with the corresponding switchyard equipments for different voltage levels, coming up during the 11th & 12th Plan have been assessed based on certain norms. The substation equipments have also been estimated as per the transmission expansion plan for 11th and 12th Plan.
