All information and references concerning operation and maintenance of the equipment are based
on our experience and are made to the best of our knowledge. In this Manual standard modules
are described. Minor variations are either not specifically considered or dealt with separately in an
annex.

Maintenance and service instructions are not part of this Manual. Maintenance is dealt with in the
maintenance description provided after previous training. The maintenance protocol permits docu-
mentation.

The technical information and data stated in this Manual are refer to the state of technology at the
time this Manual was printed. We reserve the right to make technical modifications when required
for developing purposes without previous notice and without respective change of this Manual.
Thus no claim can be derived from the details and descriptions found herein.

The text and graphic representation do not at any rate comply with the actual scope of delivery or
spare parts order. All drawings and graphics are not on a 1:1 scale. We do not accept any liability
for damage and operating trouble occurred due to operating errors, disregard this Manual or im-
proper repair work.

The Woodward original spare parts and Woodward accessories are chosen, designed and tested
especially for Woodward switchboards. We strongly recommend to buy spare parts and accesso-
ries from Woodward only. We would like to stress that spare parts and accessories not delivered by
Woodward have to be accepted by us first before they are used. We have to point out that through
installation and the use of other than Woodward products, or products not accepted by Woodward,
the constructive properties of the switchboard might be affected and the safety for operators, sys-
tem or other tangible material be impaired. Woodward does not undertake any liability for damage
resulting from the use of spare parts or accessories not accepted by our firm.

Unauthorized re-construction work and changes at the switchboards are not permitted for safety
reasons and any resulting damage is exempted from Woodward’s liability.

1.2 Important information

1.2.1 Specific tips how to use this Manual


In this Manual three different indications and symbols are used in order to put emphasis on impor-
tant information:

CAUTION!

this draws attention to information which have to be adhered to in order to protect the user from
harm.

IMPORTANT!

this draws attention to information which have to be adhered to in order to advert any damage from
the component.

This refers to general or additional information on a specific subject.

1.2.2 Marking of switchboard components

This symbol is fixed to components where information about possible hazards have to be gathered
from the operating instructions.

This symbol can be found in those areas of the switchboard where danger to life is imminent due to
high voltages. In this area repairs must only be done by commissioning or maintenance personnel
trained by Woodward and by observing all locally relevant standards and regulations. To all other
personnel access to this part of the switchboard is not permitted.

This symbol can be found in areas of the switchboard where an electrostatic discharge at electronic
devices is possible. The electronic components of the control computer can be damaged by elec-
trostatic discharges. Electronic components or switched paths must not be touched! When working
on open electronic components a reliably functioning ESD-wrist has to be worn!

Transportation-Commissioning 7
Woodward KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A

1.2.3 Information on commissioning


Before starting the commissioning please read the following carefully and make sure your have
properly understood all of it.

Commissioning of the CONCYCLE® Wind Inverters is only allowed to be done by Woodward per-
sonnel or by electricians, trained by Woodward and who are authorized for this kind of work at the
time the commissioning takes place.

Operation of the inverter within the Wind Power Plant (WPP) has to be stipulated and safeguarded
by the manufacturer of the WPP. The maintenance work defined by Woodward has to be carried
out for reliable functioning of the equipment as well as with regard to warranty claims. The dates
stated by Woodward ought to be kept and the actual maintenance work has to be done by skilled
electricians, authorized by Woodward.

Maintenance training, maintenance instructions and protocols can be obtained after successful
training from our Service Department. It is of great importance that the person carrying out the
electrical commissioning has undergone a proper training with regard to the functioning of all oper-
ating elements and has also the required understanding.

According to EN 50 110-1, DIN VDE 0105-100 and BGV A3 it must be secured that the switch-
board is dead prior to start of the work and has to remain in this state until the work has been fi-
nished completely.

Before commissioning the company carrying out the work has to make absolutely sure that the
electrical facilities comply with all requirements specified by IEC 60364-6-61 and that all tests stipu-
lated in these standards were performed satisfactorily.

Commissioning of the CONCYCLE® Inverter has to be done strictly in line with the related commis-
sioning protocol (see annex). The protocol testifying that the CONCYCLE® Wind was duly handed-
over has to be sent to the Woodward Service Department within the contractual stipulated time. In
case the respective date has not been met, the contract agreements between the customer and
Woodward apply.

All information/instructions stated in this Manual or on the product itself (Woodward switchboard)
ought to be strictly observed.

IMPORTANT!

Dependent on their protection class, frequency inverters may have bare live parts or also rotating
parts and sometimes surfaces become hot during operation. Thus after operation sufficient cooling
down times have to be allowed for heat-storing components, such as large chokes, for instant.

CAUTION!

There is the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage of material if protective covers are re-
moved without permission, if the inverter system is used in an improper way or if the installation or
operation is wrong or faulty.

Always be prepared for fire or accidents!


Make sure that a first-aid kit and fire extinguisher are always within easy reach of electrical installa-
tions. Operators have to be versed in and well-trained for handling all of the safety devices.

Figure 1.1: How to behave in case of fire or accidents

CAUTION!

In case of fire only CO2- extinguisher are allowed to be used! (Volume of the room on fire has to
be taken into account because e.g. the gondola has only a small usable room volume). When
powder extinguishers are used this results in irreparable soiling of the switchboard!

The following five safety rules have to be strictly followed!

5 Safety Rules

Before starting any work:


• Isolate power
• Secure against re-connection
• Check whether the equipment is dead
• Earth and short-circuit the equipment
• Any adjacent live parts to be covered or
• to be blocked off

Figure 1.2: 5 safety rules

IMPORTANT!

Should any work become necessary during commissioning where the switchboard has to be open
then it must be absolutely ensured that the Wind Power Plant is switched off.
At the CMW, the operating unit of the Woodward switchboard, the existing measuring value of the
intermediate circuit voltage can be read out in menu “Measuring Values”! As soon as this voltage
has dropped under 20 Vdc, the system can be disconnected from the mains!

Only if this has be done, the switchboard is safe to be opened! (Attend the 5 Safety Rules)

Transportation-Commissioning 9
Woodward KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A

People who cannot be considered skilled electricians because their training or employment history
does not comply with the requirements of the German Trade Association are not allowed to carry
out electrical measurements. It has to be stressed that such employees are only allowed to do re-
pair works when supervised by a skilled electrician and the switchboard is dead!
Commissioning personnel who have acquired their skill to work at electrical systems or electrical
equipment abroad, have to adhere to the specific provisions of law which apply in the respective
country!

Only components accepted by Woodward are to be used as spare parts (see related Parts List of
the Woodward switchboard)! Therefore we strongly recommend to plan the procurement of spare
parts well in advance. Information on spare parts can be obtained from the Woodward-Service De-
partment.

The manufacturer does not undertake any liability for consequential damage resulting from impro-
per or negligent installation of components, wrong adjustment of parameters and wrong operation
of the CONCYCLE® Inverter System.

1.2.4 Information to the Manual


Without the expressed and written acceptance of the manufacturer no part stated in this Manual is
allowed to be reproduced or passed on to others, neither on electronic means nor mechanically
(i.e. photo-copying process, recording or by using any system for storing or retrieving of informa-
tion).

The contents of this Manual refers to the software version of the system stated in the text at the
time of printing. The manufacturer reserves the right for alterations in line with the relevant technic-
al further development of the system without notice.

This Manual is part of the switchboard delivery scope. When the switchboard is passed on to a
third party (removal to another location, selling to another firm or the like), this Manual has to be
handed-over as well.

2. Transportation

2.1 Safety measures for transportation


Care has to be taken that the frequency inverters are not exposed to inadmissible environmental
conditions and strain, such as dampness, dust and vibrations. It is also essential that during trans-
portation and when handling no components are being bent and/or that spacing of the insulation is
not altered.
Electronic components and their contacts must not be touched. Information on the permissible am-
bient conditions can be found below in chapter 9.

IMPORTANT!

Frequency inverters include components which are endangered by electrostatics and they can eas-
ily be damaged or pre-damaged when handled in an improper way. Hence the following points
have to be care-fully observed:

• Electrical components must not be mechanically damaged or broken (when capacitors be-
come defective the escaping dielectric can be a health hazard!).

• Load handling attachment must only be applied at the point intended for this purpose. For
instance, transport brackets have to be secured so that they cannot slide off. Transport
frames, suitable for the equipment, have to be mounted and be used if specified.

• Ropes, chains or other load handling attachment have to be provided with safety hooks.

• Any ropes used must be 100% intact, they must not be torn or chafed anywhere.

• Ropes and chains must not be knotted.

• Ropes and chains must not touch any sharp edges.

• Pulling facilities of individual system parts must not be used for the transport of other parts.

• Only lifting facilities, ropes and chains of sufficient strength must be used.

• Loads must never be lifted over people!

• Switchboards in general should only be transported in a vertical position. Tilting of the


switchboard or transport in a tilted position is only allowed if this is expressively permitted
for an individual case.

The specific ambient conditions to be observed for transportation can be found below in
chapter 9.
Switchboard specific instructions with regard to lifting, crane and transportation can be
found in the data sheet.

2.2 Delivery
The individual sections of the system and the accessories are dispatched in packages suitable for
the respective means of transportation. Woodward always tries to use an environmental-friendly
packing which in general can be used several times. The packing remains with the customer, un-
less an agreement was reached with Woodward that the package can be returned.

The packing material must be disposed of in an ecologically beneficial manner and has to be in
compliance with the existing disposal regulations. If necessary disposal of the packing material has
to be delegated to a waste disposal firm.
If you need any more details please contact the Woodward Service Department.

2.3 Transport at Inspection


The terms of the transport insurance are stipulated in the Delivery Terms.
It is recommended to check the entire delivery for possible transport damage and for its complete-
ness immediately after receipt.

IMPORTANT!

By disregarding the following instructions the liability of the Transport Insurance Company may not
apply in the event of damage or loss. In the case of suspected damage, the receipt should be
acknowledged with reservation only (e.g. on the freight document) by stating the probable damage.

Damage claims on a third party have to be indemnified!

Transport companies or other carriers, shipping companies, storage firms, customs and harbour
authorities have to be requested to attend a joint damage survey. They have to be held liable in
writing and the damage must be detailed:

• before acceptance of the goods when the damage can immediately be identified
• and damage which cannot be identified from the outside has to be notified directly after
discovery

The times to submit complaints have to be found out and must be met.

2.4 Inspection of Damage


It has to be secured that the damage occurred does not change for the worse and that further
damage is prevented.

The surveyor stated in the insurance documents has to be consulted without delay so he can come
and ascertain the damage as well as give advice as to minimize the damage and how to put for-
ward damage claims on third parties.

The state of the consignment and its package must not be changed until the surveyor give his O.K.,
unless it is necessary for the purpose of minimizing the damage or preventing that additional dam-
age is done.

The insurance company has to be notified of the insurance case at once. In order to speed-up set-
tlement of the claim, the complete claim documents should be submitted to the insurance company
(make sure you are well aware of expiration of possible exclusion deadlines and/or limitation pe-
riods).

2.5 Unloading
The safety standards and the applying safety regulations have to be observed! Only skilled people
familiar with the lifting gear and the perhaps necessary auxiliary devices must be entrusted with the
unloading procedure.

Details on the weight can be found on the respective transport label provided at each consignment
and the forwarding documents.

When unloading the functional separate lifting accessories should be used.

IMPORTANT!

The permitted lifting weight of the separate lifting accessories and the lifting gear (crane, forklift
truck etc.) has to be observed. The loading instructions shown on the transport markings have to
be followed. When loading or unloading any switchboard sections without packing they have to be
fastened at the transport eyes provided for this purpose.

Transportation-Commissioning 13
Woodward KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A

2.6 Rotor short-circuit supervising


The CONCYCLE® Wind Converter/Inverter-System is fit with a rotor short-circuit supervising, which
is permanent active during the excitation-mode.

ATTENTION!

The rotor short-circuit supervising is not activated in converter/inverter-systems where the conver-
ter is not directly connected to the generator stator.

The rotor short-circuit is detected as follows:

• The dc-link voltage is permanent supervised by the line-side converters control-computer


CSC-SU.

In case of a sudden death of the dc-link voltage during excitation, the error-bit “commis-
sioning missing” is put in to a high state. The commissioning counters will be put down to
the step “encoder balancing” afterwards.

Actions

• Eliminate reason for the rotor short-circuit.

As the commissioning-counter is put back, the operator has to run a new encoder-
balancing, be-ginning with the rough balancing (Chapter 6.3.3).

Furthermore all commissioning-steps which follow on the encoder-balancing have to be


run, also.

14 Transportation-Commissioning
KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A Woodward

3. Storage
Under no circumstances the switchboard or parts of the switchboard should be stored in the open.
The storage rooms have to be well ventilated and be dry.

Until installation the consignments have to be stored as indicated on the transport markings and in
line with the permitted ambient conditions.

Packed switchboard sections and accessories must not be unpacked when stored for a longer pe-
riod.

For storage the following regulations apply in general:

• The storage room the switchboard is stored in has to be kept dry and frost-free.
It also has to be ensured that the floor of the storage room does not get wet.

• The consignments must not be stored in the open.

• A sufficient quantity of dehumidifier has to be put into the switchboard panels. Proper func-
tioning of the dehumidifier has to be checked regularly until commissioning.

• The switchboard is to be protected against solar radiation.

• All ventilating openings at the sidewalls and the roof must be protected against wetness
and dust.

• Mechanical vibrations and damage must be avoided.

• The storage room must be properly air-conditioned because when the switchboard is not
connected, the automatic switchboard heating and ventilating facilities are not operable.

• Exposure to dew has also to be prevented when stored. If this cannot be completely ex-
cluded, remedial measures have to be discussed with the manufacturer. Occasional dew
deposits during storage must also be prevented.

The specific ambient conditions to be observed for storage can be found below chapter 9.

In case the switchboard is stored over a longer period of time, preservative measures in agreement
with Woodward have to be taken or the existing agents to be renewed. These potential preserva-
tive measures have to be discussed with Woodward prior to dispatch of the switchboard.

IMPORTANT!

Packed switchboard sections and accessories must not be unpacked even when stored for a
longer period. An exception is the inverter power part and the static UPS module. For this equip-
ment the following instructions apply.

Transportation-Commissioning 15
Woodward KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A

3.1 Storage of the converter power part


The intermediate circuits of the power parts are equipped with high-voltage electrolytic capacitors.
Even during disconnection (e.g. when stored or during longer lasting interruptions) electrochemical
processes proceed inside the capacitors.
During a long storage the dielectric material (consisting of an oxide layer of about 1µ ) in the capa-
citors of the intermediate circuit decomposes, a so called loss of the capacitor forming.
Thus this can lead to an increased leakage current when the capacitor voltage is reconnected and
may cause damage or failure of the capacitors, depending on the length of time the equipment was
dead as well as the kind and intensity of the voltage.

Maximum storage time (only by electrolytic capacitor)

Storage of a disconnected equipment without re-forming procedure is limited to one year only (ca-
pacitors with rated voltages in the range of 350 V > UNOM >/= 500 V) ; thereafter the capacitors
have to be re-formed according to the instructions of the manufacturer.

For complete systems this one-year period start with the test date (as stated on the type label of
the switchboard) and for IGBT spare modules with the date of delivery.

Unless agreed otherwise, the check of this deadline and observance of the re-forming cycles are
the responsibility of the owner of the equipment.

When a re-forming procedure is due please contact the Woodward Service Department.
After a longer storage period > 1 year, interim capacitors must undergo a formation procedure,
otherwise they can be destroyed after a storage period > 1 year when rated voltage is applied. The
formation procedure is described in the maintenance manual.

“Formation of the capacitors of the intermediate circuit” can be found in the data sheet.

3.2 Storage of the Static UPS Module


The terms for storage and maintenance can be found in the technical description of the static UPS
module.

16 Transportation-Commissioning
KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A Woodward

4. Requirements on the Mounting Location

IMPORTANT!

The following requirements on the room where the switchboard will be set-up have to be consi-
dered already in the planning stage, they can be found in the technical data sheet. The weight of
the switchboard parts have to be taken into duly consideration!

4.1 Space requirements

Detailed information on the space requirements at the mounting location can be found in
the data sheet of the switchboard.

Especially the space required in the following for supply and dissipation of the cooling air as well as
for mounting and maintenance work have carefully to be considered.

4.2 Installation requirements on the switchboard room


There must be sufficient space to ensure free access to the switchboard.

Setting up and operation of the switchboard and other equipment has to be in line with the instruc-
tion stated in the related technical documentation.

The minimum room height is subject to the height of the switchboard and at least 1 m has to be al-
lowed for the dissipation of hot air.

When the switchboard is set up the minimum clearances to walls and other equipment/machines
etc. have to be in compliance with the constructional drawings, so that switchboard doors can be
opened without problems. The stops of the switchboard doors have to be coordinated with the al-
lowed flight direction of the room and the doors have to open outwardly.

Passages and door openings must be wide enough for the equipment to be brought into the room
(if they are not, the respective actions have to be taken, e.g. by widen the openings). The outside
dimensions of the equipment is stated in the technical data sheet.

The weight of the switchboards and its related modules have to be carefully considered. Confusion
concerning the floor strength as well as where certain floor or ceiling constructions are concerned,
the firm setting up the equipment has to clarify these matters.

Before the equipment is brought in, the floor must be fully completed. The floor is expected to be
soundness and level. When laying the floor in the switchboard room and the foundation the regula-
tions according to DIN 43661 apply. In some cases raised floors might need to be enforced addi-
tionally.

Transportation-Commissioning 17
Woodward KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A

4.3 Ambient conditions, temperature and cooling air require-


ment
The ambient temperature and the necessary cooling requirement stated in accordance with the
specification, Woodward-deviation list and in chapter 9 must be adhered. For details please see the
technical data sheet.
Exposure of the equipment to dew is to prevented. An air conditioning system or a device for cool-
ing down the circulating air should be provided if this is necessary to guarantee the ambient tem-
peratures al-lowed for operating the equipment. Care must be taken that the ventilating slots are
always free and clean.

Further conditions to be considered for a reliable operation are:


Climatic, biologic and mechanic ambient conditions as well as those concerning chemical or me-
chanically active substances.

The operational ambient conditions applying for the location can be found in the data
sheet.

5. Electrical Connections

For detailed information on the cable entry direction and connection points please see the
switchboard data sheet.

IMPORTANT!

According to the VDE Regulations and BGV A3 (formerly BGV A2) and the internationally applying
regulations, all connection jobs have to be done and protective measures to be taken by authorized
skilled electricians only.

5.1 Cable entries


Cable entries for electrical equipment are always provided as specified by the customer. The cable
is put into the equipment through sealed openings (PE bolting or flexible profile sealing material).
The covers of the cable entries can be unscrewed and are of non-magnetic material.

IMPORTANT!

When mounting and when the cable is inserted, it has to be ensured that the used sealing compo-
nents are installed in a skilled and effective manner. The cables have to be fastened properly at the
cable-train relief clamp in compliance with the respective standards and with the installation ma-
terial provided.

5.2 Connections of cables and conductors


All cable connection points are clearly labelled and marked in accordance with the switchboard ca-
ble plans. If not marked differently, the phase sequence of multiple-wire connections is always
clockwise. For the mains terminals the cable connections are marked with L1 - L2 - L3, for the ge-
nerator stator terminals with U - V - W and for the generator rotor terminals with K - L - M.

IMPORTANT!

When electrical cable is connected and if not stated differently, the core cable ends used have al-
ways to be suitable for the cable cross-section, which also applies for the squeezing appliances.
The connection screws must be tightened with the correct torsional force.

IMPORTANT!

When control or signal cables are connected or applied it is essential to use core sleeves suitable
for the cable cross section and also the right pressing tool punch. Checking the tightness of the in-
dividual cores is part of the installation work. (as specified by the manufacturer).

Transportation-Commissioning 19
Woodward KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A

5.3 Earthing connections

IMPORTANT!

It must be absolutely ensured that all PE conductors are connected to the PE bus of the equipment
and that any additional earthing points are properly connected with the earthing system of the
equipment.

An effective earth connection of the PE conductors at both ends and screening of the rotor cable is
very important.

In order to avoid loop current attention must be paid that all other components (stator, rotor etc.)
are star connected to the main PE bus of the CONCYCLE® inverter switchboard.

5.4 Rating of the conductor cross sections


Different factors have to be considered for rating the cross sections of the cable to be connected,
for instance, temperature, length, frequency rate etc. Normally this task is done by the manufactur-
er of the Wind Power Plant in accordance with the locally applying regulations. The cross section
rating is stipulated in the specification and is subject to acceptance when the WPP is type tested.

5.5 Fuses

IMPORTANT!

The fuses are selected according to different factors, such as power, peak load, voltage drop etc.
and hence the values stated by Woodward are only to be understood as recommended values.
The final rating of the fuses has to be checked for the specific installation and be done in com-
pliance with the local regulations.

The CONCYCLE® Wind Modules are built for certain values of the rated apparent power. The pow-
er data is based on continuous duty.

On this subject Woodward offers supporting information and advice. Project related details
can be found on the flyleaf of the circuit diagram.

IMPORTANT!

Short-term inadmissible over-currents during interruptions may damage the fuses and can change
the trip characteristic. After important interruptions we suggest to replace all fuses involved.

When fuses are replaced it is important to use only fuse types which are specified in the Parts List
and thus are accepted for the equipment by Woodward. Never use any others.

The inverter system is operated and set into operation by the CMW. Operational conditions and
fault messages are shown in the display.
Additionally it is possible to log-in into the CMW by means of a PC or laptop by using a RS-232 in-
terface and a zero modem cable. The Woodward software “Customer Tool” enables to read-out
operational data and also to change parameters during commissioning.

6.2.1 Operational modes of the CMW


Besides the keyboard and the display, the CMW is provided with a key switch by which the inverter
system can be switched into 3 different operational modes.

These operational modes are:

Auto: The inverter system is automatically controlled. In this mode access to the CMW is
possible for reading purposes only. The inverter system communicates with the
higher-level Wind Power Plant control either via a connected bus system or via 4
interfaces 20 mA.

Manual: The inverter system can manually be exited and then switched to mains parallel
operation. This operational mode is also used for electrical commissioning

Service: All signals of the higher-level WPP control are ignored by the inverter control when
this mode is selected and it is used to carry out service jobs. There is no risk of an
unintentional start and excitation of the inverter system.

6.3 Sequence of the electrical commissioning

IMPORTANT!

The individual commissioning steps have to be completed one after the other, none of them can be
left out.

Dependent on the specification, the test steps listed below have to be followed during the initial
commissioning

• Run up of the system: The Controller System (CSC) of the inverter is booting.

• Upload the actual Generator Parameter-set: The generators type can be taken from the
rating plate. The parameter-file with the file-extension *.cpw is distributed by the Wood-
ward-Service and has to be uploaded with the parawriter-tool (see chapter 7, customer
tool).

• Check of the digital I/Os: During this test step the wiring of the input and output signals is
tested and the relay assignment between inverter control and the higher-level WPP control
is checked.

• Adjustment of the generator position encoder: This task is carried out in two steps:

1. Coarse adjustment
2. Fine adjustment

The object is to have for the CONCYCLE® control a default setting of a defined rotor posi-
tion angle of 90° via the position encoder.

• Check of the generator current transformers: In order to check the correct phase sequence
of the generator current measurement, an increased current is shortly provided by the in-
verter in single operation.

• Check of mains synchronism: During this test the generator voltage is automatically syn-
chronized with the mains without closing the generator CB.
If the LV main distribution is not supplied by Woodward, the zero current has to be meas-
ured via the opened generator CB contacts during the test for mains synchronism. Finally it
is changed to operational mode “Mains Parallel”.

• Final steps: From mains parallel operation the system is slowed down and then stopped.
Commissioning work is being completed.

During commissioning each single step has to be acknowledged with at the CMW.
After each commissioning step, the program queries the control computer for the test sta-
tus. If a commissioning step cannot be completed thoroughly, it is regard as not tested.

6.3.1 Activation of the commissioning mode at the CMW


IMPORTANT!

Prior to switching on the mains voltage all covers and panel doors must be shut.
As soon as the operating voltage is available, the software for regulating and controlling is loaded
into the working store by the control computers (CSCs). After the boot process is completed, the
commissioning engineer is requested by the CMW to put the key switch into position “Manual”.

The signal level at the chosen PLC input of the control computer is queried three times in succes-
sion, starting with 0V. If both signal levels are equal at 0V and 24V, the test result is considered
positive. The successful test has to be acknowledged by the key. The status of the individ-
ual tests is shown in the CMW display either with “Not tested” or “Tested”
The relevant terminal marking is additionally shown in the display of the CSC-HU controller.

30 Transportation-Commissioning
KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A Woodward

IMPORTANT!

It is not sufficient to switch the 24V DC- signal from one terminal in the Woodward switchboard to
the PLC input terminal of the CSC-HU because this test procedure would not cover the entire con-
duction path.
This would not be in line with a reliable commissioning test. For testing the EMERGENCY OFF
signals, this switch has to be activated at the Woodward switchboard as well as at the WPP
switchboard. This way the correct connection between the Woodward switchboard and the WPP
control board can be checked.

IMPORTANT!

Because of the slave function the CONCYCLE Wind Inverter has within the WPP, it is not possi-
ble to realize voltage-free from the mains by the EMERGENCY OFF button. Within a very short
time the generator voltage is de-excited! The intermediate circuit needs > 8min. for discharge un-
der protection low voltage.

6.3.2.2 External relay connection

The purpose of this test is to identify any wiring faults of the control wire on the customer-side ter-
minal strip. Here the commissioning engineer is assisted by relevant information shown on the
CMW display. In succession each of the relays is displayed incl. name and marking of the allocated
CSC contacts.

In systems which communicate with the WPP control via a CANopen-Bus or another
communication interface, the wiring of external relays and their allocation is not checked.

In order to check the correct wiring to the WPP control, the contacts on the CB terminal strip are to
be bridged for this test. Activation of the related relay in the Woodward switchboard has to be
checked.

IMPORTANT!

The terminal assignment differs according to the related specification. Hence the applying wiring
diagram has to be compared when testing.

The following contacts have to be checked:


• „Generator CB Tripped“
• „Generator CB On“
• „Mains Failure“

A mains failure has to be simulated via the mains de-coupling relay (see below).

IMPORTANT!

If the circuit breaker should not trip during the test then the control wire between the trip relay and
CB has to be disconnected. After the test the connection has to be reconnected! The call for the
test routine by the mains supervision relay leads to a fault signal at the CMW because the related
supervision contact drops off. This is looped into the chain of shut-down faults (see related wiring
diagram).

Mains failure simulation by means of mains de-coupling relay, type XRW1-4 (only if it is an compo-
nent from the converter)

For the mains failure simulation the following key combination has to be pressed on the XRW1:
3x <Trip>; 4x <+>; 1x <Trip>
Now the mains de-coupling relay passes through a self-test and activates all internal relays in suc-
cession.

KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A Woodward

The following fault messages are displayed on the CMW during the mains failure test:

• „Mains-failure“
• „Ringline-shut-down“

These messages can be called at the CMW by pressing the key and have to be acknowl-
edged by the key.

For acknowledging and resetting of the relays, the key <Select/Reset> on the mains de-
coupling relay has to be kept pressed until the message „|SEG“ is displayed. For more
details please see the technical relay description.

At the CSC-HU Controller (Terminal X3:17-24) the mains voltage can be measured. It has to be
checked that the related protection devices and their alarm contacts (fuse with alarm contact or
motor protection switch) are switched on. The mains voltage value is displayed on the CMW as
well.

If the commissioning engineer has failed to acknowledge the fault messages of the previous test,
the CSC input “Mains Failure” is logically on 1 and so the following fault messages have to be ac-
knowledged first:

• „Mains-failure“
• „Ringline shut-down“

Thereafter the next test can be called.

Woodward KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A

6.3.3 Calibration of the position encoder

IMPORTANT!

The inverter system is completely put into operation. All panel doors and covers have to be shut.
The WPP has to be in trouble-free operational conditions when the position encoder is adjusted.

The adjustment procedure for the position encoder is divided into two steps:

1. Coarse balance:
The generator angle is automatically set to a range between 80° and 100°
System with “LSC connected to grid” directly between 88° and 92°

2. Fine adjustment:
The generator angle is manually set to 90° with an accepted tolerance of ± 1°

Commissioning of the speed window:

The rotor speed should be in the range of the synchronous speed, but at least in the region of the
inverter system excitation.

The synchronous speed is conditional on the number of generator poles.

It has to be ensured that the following PLC inputs are activated at the CSC-HU:
• WTC status
• Mains failure
• Shut-down fault
• Warning fault
• Emergency Off

Adjustment of the position encoder cannot be continued if these inputs are not activated. An acti-
vated PLC input is displayed as ticks on the CMW accordingly.

The WPP has to be accelerated up to the value shown in the speed window. As long as the speed
range has not been reached, the message “System Not Within the Speed Window” is displayed on
the CMW. This message automatically disappears after the necessary speed has been reached.

Prior to starting the coarse balance procedure, the inverter at the generator side is to be excited by

pressing the key. During this process the generator voltage is being checked for keeping with-
in a certain tolerance range. The inverter at the mains side is not in operation at first.

For starting the coarse adjustment press key . The generator angle is brought automatically
to the rated value of 90° by the inverter control. Change of the generator angle by variation of the
position en-coder offset can be observed on the CMW display.

During the coarse adjustment process the following system quantities are monitored additionally:

• Rotating field, stator


• Rotating field, rotor
• Generator voltage,
• Input voltage of the voltage inverter
• Intermediate circuit voltage.

The coarse balance procedure is automatically stopped, when the generator angle has been ap-
proximated to the rated value within a tolerance of ± 10°.

The adjustment procedure can be acknowledged and stopped by pressing the key.

If the value of the position encoder offset is increased, the generator angle value is re
duced. If the position encoder offset is reduced, the generator angle value is increased.
The same applies for the fine adjustment.

IMPORTANT!

When the system is in automatic operation all covers and doors of the Woodward switchboard
have to be shut all the time.

The switchboard is to be operated in a trouble-free state only. Any change which may affect the
safety has to be notified to the system operator immediately. Switchboard alterations can only be
done if accepted by Woodward and the work must be supervised by a skilled electrician.

If necessary, Wind Power Plants which include Woodward inverter systems should be equipped
with additional supervision and protection devices in line with the applying safety regulations (e.g.
regulations concerning technical tools, accident prevention specification etc.).

IMPORTANT!

After the system has slowed down and the inverter been disconnected from the supply voltage, any
life components and power connections must not be touched because there is the danger of possi-
bly charged capacitors. The respective warnings on and in the inverter system are to be observed:

8. Trouble and Troubleshooting

If any problems occurs in the system first of all read the system data and recorder data out
of the CSC´s and save them on the hard disk of the laptop/PCs.

For fault indication the CSCs are provided with a number of potential-free signal contacts. For the
actual allocation please see the related wiring diagram because dependent on the system type the
terminal assignment may differ. Faults are also indicated at the CMW by two-coloured LEDs (see
the following chapter “Fault Indication Via CMW-LED).

Based on the commissioning training an additional training on the subject „Service &
Trouble shooting“ is offered by Woodward. For more details on Woodward training
schemes (e.g. also on maintenance training) please phone number +49 (0) 2152 145 255.

Any tools or utilities used for operation, maintenance or repair work have to be in a safe-for-use
condition and ought to be handled carefully. Inappropriate and dangerous usage of tools or such at
or inside the system is not permitted.

8.1 Fault indication via CMW-LEDs

8.2 Fault indication by CMW-LEDs


The CWM is equipped with two-coloured LEDs for indication of operational and faulty conditions. In
the following table the different signal messages are explained:

See page 23, Chapter 6.2.2

8.3 Potentialfree contacts (relay outgoings)


IMPORTANT!

All messages of the potential-free contacts should be carefully evaluated and observed. Only this
way a continuous supervision of the system and its safe operational condition can be guaranteed.

The potential-free relay contacts of the CSC-HU controller or CSC-SU controller are looped at the
terminal strip X2:1-32.

These are miniature relays with the following switching capability:


• AC: NO contact 3 A, NC contact 1 A.
• DC: NO and NC contacts 2 A

IMPORTANT!

The switching capability of these contacts must not be exceeded in order to prevent damage. If a
higher switching capability is needed additional power relays have to be interconnected.

On the CSC controller an additional LED is allocated to each of the relays, indicating the physical
switching conditions. The LEDs are always arranged in a group of four on the controller PCB.

8.4 Voltage measuring terminals


IMPORTANT!

Electrical measurements are only allowed to be carried out by skilled electricians and by strictly ob-
serving the applying safety regulations.

For maintenance work and troubleshooting measuring signals are available on the XT terminal
strip. Terminal strip XT5 is located in the control panel of the switchboard.

Fused potentials are applied at the measuring terminals XT. Short-circuits at the terminals or at the
connected measuring lines have to be avoided so that any related problems are prevented.

8.5 Adjustment of the position encoder after replacement or any


problems

The position encoder needs to be re-adjusted after replacement of or working on the posi-
tion encoder, or after the message “Commissioning Not Carried Out”.

Conditional on the software version implemented, the position encoder is adjusted according to one
of the two following methods:

• As from software version 3.5.3 the adjustment is part of the integrated commissioning
program. For adjustment please see chapter. „Calibration Of The Position Encoder“ in
chapter „Electrical Commissioning“.
• Up to software version 3.5.3 the following adjustment method applies (see 8.5.1)

The software version is stated on the INFO page of the CMW.

Transportation-Commissioning 47
Woodward KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A

8.5.1 Adjustment of the position encoder up to software version 3.5.3


Tools needed:
• a small screw driver (slot-type)
• strip connector (1.5 mm2)

Procedure:
1. At the control device of the mains inverter (voltage inverter) the wires applied at terminals
X1-1 and X2-4 have to be removed and then to be connected to a strip connector.

2. The key switch on the CONCYCLE® operating unit CMW to be put into position „Manual“.

IMPORTANT!

For the position encoder adjustment the speed of the WPP must be within the range of the excita-
tion window. As described below, the adjustment of the position encoder is done in two steps: firstly
the coarse adjustment which is then followed by the fine adjustment.

7. By pressing key at the CMW the generator is excited. An angle of 90o ( +/- 1° ) is to be
set by changing the position encoder offset in 20o steps. This angle is accepted and acti-
vated in the control after pressing the key at the CMW.

8. Assuming a generator angle of α the position encoder offset can be discovered by the fol-
lowing formula:

Position encoder offset_new = Position encoder offset_old + (α- 90)

9. After the coarse adjustment has been completed, the generator is de-excited by pressing
the key at the CMW.

10. The control wires previously disconnected from the mains control device CSC-SUR (vol-
tage inverter) are re-connected to terminals X1-1 and X2-4.

11. Key on the CMW is pressed again. Now the generator is re-excited and the mains in-
verter connected as well.
For the fine adjustment the generator angle is to be set to 90°.

12. After the adjustment procedure is completed the key switch is to be changed to position
„AUTO“ again. Value of the parameter “Position Encoder Offset” has to be noted down and
the Woodward Service Department is to be informed accordingly.

CAUTION!

If the input signals „Excitation Release“ and „Load Request“ are given by the higher-level WPP
control at the end of the adjustment procedure then the CONCYCLE® System does not change to
the „Standstill“ mode but directly turns into “Mains Parallel Operation”!

9. Instruction in case of fault event by the Crow-


Bar protection (Optional, if installed)

9.1 Function of the Crowbar supervision


The crow-bar protects the intermediate DC-circuit. The activation of the crow-bar during normal op-
erating conditions is not necessary and unusual. Nevertheless it could be that the crow-bar has
been switched on. In that case it is justified due to a misdemeanor of other components. The com-
ponents must be checked then.

To protect the Crow-Bar components (dI/dt choke, thyristors) against undesirably current flow and
with it high temperatures the components are fitted with thermal switches with a threshold > 80°C
and a thermal protection relay (F40) which isolates the primary circuit from the supervision circuit.
The relay is switched into the “Ringline shut down” circuit which switched off the system immediate-
ly in case of failure.
The fault “M24: Ringline shut down” will be displayed and recorded in the Customer Tool.

The current flow through the system and therewith through the components will be disconnected
immediately.
It is impossible to reset the Relay (F40) remotely.
The service must reset the relay manually after they have checked the components. If necessary
change the components.

The dI/dt choke and thyristors are designed for a maximum temperature of 125°C. To insure a safe
operating of the components the threshold of the thermal switches are selected to 80°C.

Systems with Crow-Bar resistance. The supervision components are marked red.

Schematic

9.2 Actions in case of fault event


Shall it come to a non resettable fault event with the fault “M24: Ringline shut down” the following
actions should be executed at site:

• Analysis of Data- and Eventrecorder:


Check whether the crow-bar firing was justifiable.
The crow-bar will only fired in case of high DC-Intermediate voltage. This will be displayed
in the Data- and Eventrecorder with the fault indication “F3: DC-Link volt. to high”.
• Check of the temperature indicator:
The crow-bar thyristors are equipped with temperature stripes which indicates the max.
temperature.
Check the signalization of the indicators. If the temperature indicates >77°C (see picture:
Temperature Indicator) the concerned thyristor has to be changed.
In that case a new temperature indicator has to be sticking at the new thyristor.
• Check of the thyristor firing unit –A5 (CSC3-ZS-F)
In normal condition with active 24VDC supply voltage the contact X2:7 and X2:8 must be
closed.
The green LED (see picture: Thyristor Firing Unit, blue arrow) must switched on for 1,2 s
when unplugging the fiber optic cable (see picture: Thyristor Firing Unit, red arrow).
• Check of the thermal release function:
Check whether the red LED (2) on the thermal protection relay (F40) is on. If true the su-
pervision circuit has opened.
Press the reset button (1). The LED must switch off.
Check the supervision circuit. The primary circuit with the thermal switches must be
checked with a continuity tester. T1 and T2 must have low resistance.
With opening of the circuit the relay –F40 must react and switch on LED (2).
With closed circuit LED (2) must switched off when pressing reset.
If not the faulty thermal switches or the relay must be changed. Repeat the test after
changing the components.

Transportation-Commissioning 53
Woodward KP-37140gb_td_transportation-commissioning_rev.A

Is the functioning of the supervision circuit ok the thyristors –V1, -V2, -V3 has to be
changed.
• Check of dI/dt chokes:
Check the inductivity and the resistance of the dI/dt chokes -L3, -L4. Nominal value: 40µH
/ 3,3 mOhm +/-10%. If necessary change the chokes.
• Document the fault and report them immediately to Woodward service. Send the read out
data’s (Data- and Event recorder) to Woodward service.
