1 Preliminary Remarks

1.1 Information about liability and warranty

CAUTION!

All information and references concerning operation and maintenance of the equipment are based on our ex-
perience 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 documentation.

The technical information and data stated in this Manual are refer to the state of technology at the time this Man-
ual 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 de-
tails 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 oper-
ating trouble occurred due to operating errors, disregard this Manual or improper repair work.

The Woodward SEG original spare parts and Woodward SEG accessories are chosen, designed and tested
especially for Woodward SEG switchboards. We strongly recommend to buy spare parts and accessories from
Woodward SEG only. We would like to stress that spare parts and accessories not delivered by Woodward
SEG 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 SEG products, or products not accepted by Woodward SEG, the constructive
properties of the switchboard might be affected and the safety for operators, system or other tangible material be
impaired. Woodward SEG 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 SEG’s liability.

The warranty and standard liability conditions of the Woodward SEG General Business Terms and Conditions
are not changed or extended by the before stated.

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 important 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 compo-
nent.

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 op-
erating instructions.

This symbol can be found in those areas of the switchboard where danger to life is imminent due to high volt-
ages. In this area repairs must only be done by commissioning or maintenance personnel trained by Woodward
SEG 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 electrostatic discharges. Elec-
tronic components or switched paths must not be touched! When working on open electronic components a re-
liably functioning ESD-wrist has to be worn!

td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb 5
1.2.3 Information on commissioning

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

Commissioning of the CONCYCLE® Wind Inverters is only allowed to be done by Woodward SEG personnel
or by electricians, trained by Woodward SEG 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 manu-
facturer of the WPP. The maintenance work defined by Woodward SEG has to be carried out for reliable func-
tioning of the equipment as well as with regard to warranty claims. The dates stated by Woodward SEG ought
to be kept and the actual maintenance work has to be done by skilled electricians, authorized by Woodward
SEG.

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 under-
gone a proper training with regard to the functioning of all operating elements and has also the required under-
standing.

According to EN 50 110-1, DIN VDE 0105-100 and BGV A3 it must be secured that the switchboard is dead
prior to start of the work and has to remain in this state until the work has been finished 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 stipulated in these standards were
performed satisfactorily.

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

All information/instructions stated in this Manual or on the product itself (Woodward SEG 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 removed without
permission, if the inverter system is used in an improper way or if the installation or operation is wrong or faulty.

6 td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb
Always be prepared for fire or accidents!

Make sure that a first-aid kit and fire extinguisher are always within easy reach of electrical installations. Opera-
tors 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 b 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.

td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb 7
At the CMW, the operating unit of the Woodward SEG switchboard, the existing measuring value of the inter-
mediate 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)

People who cannot be considered skilled electricians because their training or employment history does not com-
ply 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 repair works when supervised by a skilled elec-
trician 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 SEG are to be used as spare parts (see related Parts List of the
Woodward SEG 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 SEG-Service Department.

The manufacturer does not undertake any liability for consequential damage resulting from improper 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. photocopying process, re-
cording or by using any system for storing or retrieving of information).

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 technical further development of the sys-
tem without notice.

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

8 td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb
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 transportation 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 ambient conditions
can be found below in chapter 9.

IMPORTANT!

Frequency inverters include components which are endangered by electrostatics and they can easily be dam-
aged or pre-damaged when handled in an improper way. Hence the following points have to be carefully ob-
served:

• Electrical components must not be mechanically damaged or broken (when capacitors become 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 trans-
port 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 SEG always tries to use an environmental-friendly packing which in general
can be used several times. The packing remains with the customer, unless an agreement was reached with
Woodward SEG 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 SEG Service Department.

td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb 9
IMPORTANT!

Dispatch and transport guides in form of internationally accepted pictograms are provided on the consignments.
It is very important that these guides are strictly followed throughout all phases of transportation and storage.

10 td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb
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 completeness immedi-
ately 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 pre-
vented.

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 forward 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 damage is done.

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

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 for-
warding 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.

td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb 11
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 converter 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 “commissioning 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, beginning
with the rough balancing (Chapter 6.3.3).

Further more all commissioning-steps which follow on the encoder-balancing have to be run, also.

12 td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb
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 period.

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 functioning of the de-
humidifier 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 excluded, 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 Wood-
ward SEG have to be taken or the existing agents to be renewed. These potential preservative measures have to
be discussed with Woodward SEG 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 equipment the following instructions ap-
ply.

td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb 13
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 capacitors of the in-
termediate 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 (capacitors
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 responsibil-
ity of the owner of the equipment.

When a re-forming procedure is due please contact the Woodward SEG 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 de-
scribed 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.

14 td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb
4 Requirements on the Mounting Location

IMPORTANT!

The following requirements on the room where the switchboard will be set-up have to be considered 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 mount-
ing 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 instruction 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 allowed 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 co-ordinated with the allowed 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 equip-
ment 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 regulations according to DIN
43661 apply. In some cases raised floors might need to be enforced additionally.

td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb 15
4.3 Ambient conditions, temperature and cooling air requirement

The ambient temperature and the necessary cooling requirement stated in accordance with the specification,
Woodward SEG-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 cooling down the
circulating air should be provided if this is necessary to guarantee the ambient temperatures allowed for operat-
ing 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 mechanically ac-
tive substances.

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

16 td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb
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 en-
tries 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 components are in-
stalled 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 material provided.

5.2 Connections of cables and conductors

All cable connection points are clearly labelled and marked in accordance with the switchboard cable plans. If
not marked differently, the phase sequence of multiple-wire connections is always clockwise. For the mains termi-
nals the cable connections are marked with L1 - L2 - L3, for the generator 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 always to be suit-
able 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 individual cores is part of the
installation work. (as specified by the manufacturer).

td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb 17
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 impor-
tant.

In order to avoid loop current attention must be paid that all other components (stator, rotor etc.) are star con-
nected 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 manufacturer 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 SEG 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 compliance with the local regulations.

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

On this subject Woodward SEG 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 charac-
teristic. 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 SEG. Never use any others.

Figure 6.2: CMW

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 interface and a
zero modem cable. The Woodward SEG 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 opera-
tional 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 se-
lected 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 pa-
rameter-file with the file-extension *.cpw is distributed by the Woodward SEG-Service and has to be up-
loaded 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 re-
lay 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 position 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 inverter in single operation.

• Check of mains synchronism: During this test the generator voltage is automatically synchronized with the
mains without closing the generator CB.
If the LV main distribution is not supplied by Woodward SEG, the zero current has to be measured 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 status. If a commis-
sioning step cannot be completed thoroughly, it is regard as not tested.

26 td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb
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 work-
ing 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 succession, 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 individual 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.

28 td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb
IMPORTANT!

It is not sufficient to switch the 24V DC- signal from one terminal in the Woodward SEG switchboard to the PLC
input terminal of the CSC-HU because this test procedure would not cover the entire conduction 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 SEG switchboard as well as at the WPP switchboard. This way the cor-
rect connection between the Woodward SEG 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 possible 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 under 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 terminal 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.

any sparking at the relevant output terminals of the CSC-HU.

td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb 29
A relay is considered correctly wired if there is no sparking. This test step is then to be acknowledged by the
key. Should there be a faulty wiring and a short-circuit has occurred then this has to be acknowledged by
pressing the key. The error has to be cleared by the commissioning engineer accordingly.

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 SEG 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 su-
pervision 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 component 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 succession.

32 td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb
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 acknowledged 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.

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 acknowledged first:
• „Mains-failure“
• „Ringline shut-down“

Thereafter the next test can be called.

td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb 33
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 activated PLC input
is displayed as ticks on the CMW accordingly.

IMPORTANT!

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 mes-
sage 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 within 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 encoder 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 approximated 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 reduced. If the
position encoder offset is reduced, the generator angle value is increased. The same applies for the
fine adjustment.

7 Operation of the System

IMPORTANT!

When the system is in automatic operation all covers and doors of the Woodward SEG 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 Wood-
ward Woodward SEG and the work must be supervised by a skilled electrician.

If necessary, Wind Power Plants which include Woodward SEG inverter systems should be equipped with addi-
tional 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 compo-
nents and power connections must not be touched because there is the danger of possibly 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 alloca-
tion 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 & Troubleshooting“
is offered by Woodward SEG. For more details on Woodward SEG 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

Faults are indicated in plain text in the CMW display and via function „System Info“ in the CONCYCLE® cus-
tomer tool. Aided by the CONCYCLE® Software „Customer Tool“ an online help is installed for the PC which
contains a list of possible CMW fault messages.
From this list information can be gathered about the action to be taken to solve an existing problem. By activating
the help file “CMW Messages” via the customer tool, the tree structure shown below is called up and from here

8.2 Fault indication by CMW-LEDs

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

See page 21, 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 continu-
ous 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 switch-
ing 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 observing 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 position
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
Commissiomning“.
• 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.

td_transportation_commissioning_rev07_07gb 45
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“.

3. Then press key at the CMW and by the page selection key it is changed to the password
query:

6. The field „Position Encoder Offset“ to be marked with the navigation keys.

IMPORTANT!

For the position encoder adjustment the speed of the WPP must be within the range of the excitation
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 activated in the control af-
ter pressing the key at the CMW.

8. Assuming a generator angle of α the position encoder offset can be discovered by the following for-
mula:

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 (voltage 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 inverter con-
nected 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 SEG Ser-
vice 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”!
