3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

: 220V (Nominal)
: 242V ( Max. System Voltage)
: + 10 % To - 15 %
: 25 kA at DCDB Level
: Un-grounded
: 39.6 degree C Max.
: 20.0 degree C Min.

The Power plant comprises Two Generating units. For each unit, dedicated DC supply
system is envisaged.

One CHP battery bank shall feed the DC supply to following DC loads of 2 X 135MW.
A. CHP MV Switch gear
B. CHP LV System ( Service Transformer + LV Board)
C. DC Lighting

DC system for CHP comprises of One battery bank set and Two Float cum boost charger
connected to DC distribution Board. in line with Dasturco Specification.

The batteries & charger shall be so designed that the maximum fault level on DCDB is limited
to 25 KA.

The battery and battery charger combinations shall be such as to ensure continuity of D.C
supply at load terminals without even momentary interruption.

Under normal condition CHP MV Switchgear shall receive the supply from corresponding
Unit MV board and the TIE breaker in between both section shall be in OFF condition.

Complete blackout condition considered therefore all Motors Feeders on 6.6 KV MV switchgear shall be tripped by sensing under voltage condition on respective bus.

Similarly, all 415V Breaker controlled Motors shall Trip on receiving command from under
voltage relay of Bus PT panel of respective LV Switchgear and this will happen only when
associated up-stream breaker tripping is completed.

4. BATTERY SELECTION / SIZING CRITERIA

The batteries are considered as lead acid type with tubular positive plates (HDP II) in line with
specification requirement.
Battery sizing and cell selection is based on IEEE: 485 & IS 1651. While estimating battery capacities the following is considered:
A. Design Margin of 20 %

R2

B. Ageing Factor of 1.25 %

C. End voltage of cell shall be not less than 1.85 Volt /cell during any time of the duty cycle.
D. Battery shall be rated for 10 hour discharge rate ( C10) as per manufacturer data. Battery load cycle shall be 1 hour.
E. Temp Correction Factor, Cft = 1+R[(27-t) / 100], where R=0.43 for 10 hrs discharge as
per table-2 of IS:1651, t = Electrolyte temp.=Min. site ambient temp (20 deg C) + incremental temp. of 10 deg C (as per Battery manufacturer recommendation ) = 30
deg C . Hence Cft= 0.98 . However, we have selected 1.0.
F. The enclosed battery sizing calculations is towards CHP DC system. The DC system
sizing calculation for Creek System Battery bank shall be submitted as a separate
document.
G. Continuous, momentary (0-1 min), continuous emergency (1-59 min) and Impulse
(59-60 min) loads is calculated and duly considered in battery duty cycle curve.
H. The duty cycle imposed on the battery shall include the following. All momentary loads
shall be treated as one minute load.

Continuous loads due to Energy Meters, Indication lights, Continuous energised

coils, Control Panels, Relays.

I.

Momentary loads due to switchgear operation, Valve operation.

Intermittent loads due to Motor starting requirements.

Tripping of Breaker, Starting of Lube oil pump are considered as 1st minute load of
duty cycle .

J. Control supply to Switchboards/ Panels are considered for the entire load of 1 hour.
Closing of Breaker is considered at last minute of duty cycle.

Maximum allowable voltage 220 + 10 %

= 242 V

Minimum allowable system voltage 220 - 15 %

Nos

Calculated Minimum System Voltages = (ECV x No. of Selected Cells)=1.85*110 =203.5V

Calculated minimum system voltage is greater than the allowable minimum system voltage.
Hence, the determination of no. of cells as 110 Nos. is justified.
