1.9 Tracking among channels

Tracking among channels is realized through regulator software. The standby
channel tracks the working channel based on the principle that regulation output
(control signal) of the two channels are equivalent. Different from tracking inside a
channel, this tracking can be locked manually.
The automatic tracking ensures stable shift from working channel to standby
channel. This shift may be automatic shift (such as PT phase loss) or manual shift.
No matter double channels allocation or 3-channel allocation is applied in the
system; the standby channel always tracks the working channel.

ForceExcLimit anti-time formula: t=(I f-1.1)/(I l-1.1) *Tq
Tq in the above formula is the forcetime. When the excitation current is above the
overExcLimit, the systems begins the ForceExcLimit anti-time counting and timing
and at the same time send the alarm of “ForceExcLimit “ signal, to lock the excitation
increasing operation. In this process, the ForceExcLimit limits the excitation current.
At the arrival of anti-time limit, the excitation current limits through the
OverExcLimit and sends out alarm signals, timing begins, till the cooling time reaches,

The premise of the low-frequent action: breaker is OFF in the generator exit,
molecular current <10%, no electric braking signal, and the startup command is ON.
When the premises are met and the generator voltage is less than 45Hz, the
low-frequent action takes place; when the premises are met and the terminal voltage is
more than 47.5 Hz, the low-frequent signals are restored.
After the low-frequent action, the control excitation system inside the regulator

3. Fault detecting
3.1 Synchronization fault
The condictions for fault judgment:
(Utb+15%<Ug)&&R632&&(Utb>20%)
Ug Generator voltage
Utb Synchronization voltage
R632 >40%generator voltage
When the 3 following condictions are met, synchronization fault occurs:
Synchronization voltage is 15% lower than the generator voltage
Generator voltage >40%
Synchronization voltage >20%

If there are 3 consecutive fixed timing regulatory cycles of the above conditions,

synchronization fault occurs.

After the action of the synchronization fault, the regulator sends out fault signals
through the I/O board, and through the communicative interface. The locked

3-19
 Users’ guide＿＿＿＿Function illutration

watchdog signal is sent out, so that the monitoring unit can detect fault in the
regulator and send out the channel shift command.

3.2 Low excitation current

The condictions for fault judgment:
When the channel is under operation, the stator current >10%&&the excitation
current <20% of idle loaded excitation current
When the low excitation fault occurs, the regulator sends out fault signals through
the communicative interface.

3.3 Excitation transformer secondary side CT fault

The condictions for fault judgment:
The channel is working, and (Ug>80%)&&(IL<10%)&& synchronization
coefficient ≠0
When the 3 following condictions are met, excitation transformer secondary sideCT
fault occurs:
Generator voltage >80%
Ecitation current <10%

The condictions for fault judgment:
Average 0.83Ug
Ug Generator voltage
Ua Generator A-phase voltage
Ub Generator B-phase voltage
Uc Generator C-phase voltage
Utb Synchronization voltage
IL Excitation current

If the synchronization voltage coefficient is adjusted properly, judgement is

made through the synchronization and generator ovltage. If the synchronization

3-20
 Users’ guide＿＿＿＿Function illutration

voltage >20%, generator voltage is 10%lower than synchronization voltage, PT fault

occurs. If the synchronization voltage coefficient is not adjusted properly, judgment
is made on the base of 3-phase voltage and the average voltage. If the generator
voltage is >10%, and any one of the A/B/C phases voltage is 83% smaller than the
generator voltage, PT fault occurs.
When the excitation current is >20% and the generator voltage is <5%, PT fault
occurs.
If there are 3 consecutive fixed timing regulatory cycles of the above conditions,
PT fault occurs, and the system would be changed to the manual mode. If the
condictions are not met, there’s 2 seconds’delay for the restoring of the PT fault. At
the same time, the regulator monitoring units would switch the regulator to the
standby channels.

Human-machine Interface, abbreviated as HMI, is an operational interface between

user and excitation system. In Exc9000, HMI comprises three subsystems.
1. Regulator HMI
2. Recitifer HMI
3. De-exciter HMI
Which have the following characteristics.
‹ Convenient for operator’s patrolling inspection. HMI has the functions of
operation parameter display and operation status display as well as fault
alarm command.
‹ Convenient for operation. The operation components or operation images are
equipped with illustration and anti-disoperation measures.
‹ HMI has relative independence. In case of its fault or invalidity, it will affect
neither normal working of excitation system nor basic operation of excitation
system.

1. Regulator HMI
1.1 Brief introduction
This system employs Profcae touching screen, which has the full screen touching
function, as the human-machine inteface. Its advantage is its funcction sufficiency,
which not only is used for operation, but also for testing and maintanece, with richful
frames, sound visual effect, easy operation and status display for data quantity,
analogue quantity, communicative status and system operation. The status of
equipment operation is shown clearly, so that the operators can master relative
operation in just several minutes.

2.2.1 Key frame

‹ Analogue quantity display: on this frame, there is display of current in 6 bridge

arms, total current in this power controller, and the wind temperature.
‹ Switch quantity display: the switch quantity shown on this frame: inpulse
input of this controller, fan A/B on and off, fast fuse, resistor capacity error and
input status for current balancing.
‹ Function operation: there are 5 function bottons on this frame, in which F1/F2
are used to operate the fans A/B. Eg. When the function display botton F1
shows “A stop”, click F1, and the operation of fan A stops. At the same time,
botton F1 shows “A start”.
Botton F3 is used to enter the system
Botton F4 is for fault resetting, in the power controller system, “fan power fault
“ is automatic.
Botton F5 is to show flashing of fault. If there is anything wrong with the
power controller system, this botton would flash, and at the same time click it to
enter the fault display, so as to check the problems. If everything is all right in
the power controller, the botton would not flash and the click of it leads to no
operation.

Select “selection frame of Hall parts installation direction “ on the system frame,
and enter the following frame.

Way of judgment 1: each Hall part has an “arrow” on the head. If the arrow
direction is the same as the actual current direction, this means “ positive “ installation,
otherwise it is “negative” installation.
Way of judgment 2: face the outlet terminal of Hall parts, if the actual current runs
in from behind of the outlet terminal and out from the outlet terminal, this is the
“positive “ installation.

2.2.3.2 Current judgemnt value setup frame

Select “current judgemnt value setup” on the judgement value-setting frame, and
enter it.

On this frame, you can set the original value of current judgement (default=200A),
bidge arm current set value (default=5A) and the inbalanced current coefficient
(default=0).
Explanation 1: when the initiative condition is set as 0, there is no judgement on
bridge arm 0 flow and current inbalance.
Explanaton 2: when the current inbalance coefficient is 0,there’s no judgement of
current inbalance.
Explanation 3: when the contrller current >the initially set value, Ug>40%, and
bridge arm current <the set value of bridge arn 0 flow, there would be corresponding
signals for brige arm 0 flow.
Attention 4: when the contrller current >the initially set value, Ug>40%, and the
controller current/(3*maximum bridge arm value)<inbalanced current coefficient,
there would be judgement of current inbalance.

2.2.4 Current fault frame

If there’s anything wrong with the power controller system, click the botton “ fault”
on the key frame, and you can enter the frame of current fault display.

4-28
 Users’ guide＿＿＿＿Human-machine Interface

Possible faults testable are: fan A/B power fault, fast fuse, resistance-capacitance
fault, over-tempreture of wind, flow block in the 6 bidge arms, current inbalance and
pulse exit of this controller.

2.2.5 Fan control

Manual switch of fans: operated on the key frame.
Automatic switch of fans: if there is a “ start up” command, or “I1>100A”, the
system would automatically start the fans. If there isn’t a “start up” command or
“I1<50A”, the system would stop all the operation of fans after a certain time delay.
When there’s something wrong with the main fans, the system automatically start the
standby fans and stops the main ones.

2.2.6 Screen saver setup

Screen saver time 2 minutes. When the screen saver is at work, there’s no switch of
