Handling of Switching order documentation
for MV_HV switching operations

1 General information
This document replaces Technical Instruction document TD-GO-01-ger-xxx-14-027. Its content has
been updated according to the most recent findings.

1.1 When to carry out work

The tasks described in this information must be carried out when obtaining a switching order from
the switching authorisation dispatcher of the Grid Operation department. This applies to line
switching and for any switching operations in HV substations.

1.2 Reason for the information

Documenting switching orders prevent mix-ups and misunderstandings after the order is obtained.
During the switching conversation the order must be documented in writing by using the form
“Switching order documentation”.

2 Preparatory work
Before obtaining and documenting the switching order, attention should be paid to the procedure
instruction “Performing of switching operations” (TD-GO-05-xx-006).
Also the information for safe use “Working in medium-voltage and high-voltage areas”
(BA_bl_1040) and the technical information “MV+HV switching authorisations”
(TD-esc-02-de-xx-15-017) must be known and understood.

3 Required work steps

3.1 Switching order documentation

Contact a switching authorisation dispatcher of the Grid Operation department using the respective
telephone number (as per TD-esc-02-de-xx-15-017 MV+HV switching authorisation) and obtain the
switching order.
The document number from the header of the report has to be communicated to the switching
authorisation dispatcher, because it has to be entered on the system.
Document the switching order in the “Switching order documentation” form
(TD-esc-03-de-xx-16-036).

3.2 Filling out the “Switching order documentation” form

© ENERCON GmbH. All rights reserved.

Location:
e.g. - Name of the wind farm
- Name of the transmission substation

Reason for the switching operation:

e.g. - Disconnection for repair of the medium-voltage switchgear WEC xxx
- Reconnection after connection of new WEC xxx
- Reconnection after tripping of substation circuit breaker

Nominated person in control of electrical installation during work activity

Nominated person in control of the work activity:
Coordinate with the switching authorisation dispatcher of the Grid Operation Department, if
the responsibility for the electrical installation and / or the work activity lies at ENERCON or
on the customer side.
Are switching operations to be carried out, where obtaining a switching order is necessary,
the ENERCON Grid Operation coordinator is mostly responsible for the electrical
installation. But in single cases it could be also that e.g. that the project manager is
responsible. Customer responsibility for the electrical installation exists e.g. at grid works
outside of ENERCON WEC’s, if the switch-off-point is not operated by ENERCON.
The nominated person in control of the work activity is usually the ENERCON technician
who is carrying out the switching operations, but could also lay in few cases e.g. on the
customer side. The responsibilities lay in normal cases either both at ENERCON or both on
the customer side.
Afterwards enter the names of the nominated person in control of the electrical installation

during work activity as well as the nominated person in control of the work activity in the
lines.
If the responsibility is on customer side, the name doesn’t need to be entered if not known.

Date and time:

Enter the date and time when the switching order has been obtained

Name:
Document the full name of the switching authorisation dispatcher of the Grid Operation
department issuing the switching order. The current list of switching authorisation
dispatcher is stored in the ISI database in the MV+HV switching authorisation
(TD-esc-02-de-xx-15-017).

To:
Fill in full name and the personnel ID number of the receiver of the switching order. Confirm
with the signature afterwards the receipt of the switching order. This information is required
for assigning the form at a later time.

Location:
Fill in the location of the switching operation.
- Serial number of the wind turbine
- Substation
- Exact designation of the switchgear (for switching operations in HV substations)
e.g. - E1

- H1

Panel:
Fill in the panel of the switchgear in this line.
e.g. - Panel 1
- Panel 2
Or for switching operations in transmission substations:
e.g. - Q01
- Q03

Measure:
Fill in the individual switching operations in this field.
e.g. - Switch off CB
- Switch off DC
- Switch on ES

Completed:
Once the switching operations of the respective line have been done,
this field has to be ticked.

All switching operations of one panel can be noted in one line.

To do so, the abbreviations as per the report can be used for
the designations of the switching devices.
