This document discusses the implementation of a new load shedding scheme using SCADA at the BPCL-KR refinery in Kochi, India. It provides background on the refinery and describes the existing manual and under-frequency based load shedding scheme. The new SCADA-based scheme allows for more precise load segregation and shedding based on real-time power balance calculations to trip the necessary load when there is a power deficit. The conclusion states that implementing SCADA will provide more stable plant operation and control over the complex power network from a central control room.
2. INTRODUCTION
• BPCL KR a MAH installation
• Automation using SCADA
• Aim – study of existing load shedding scheme
& SCADA based load shedding scheme
3. ABOUT BPCL KR
• Kochi Refinery, a unit of Bharat Petroleum
Corporation Limited (BPCL), embarked on its
journey in 1966 with a capacity of 50,000
barrels per day.
• BPCL KR - Ambalamugal near the city of Kochi
in Kerala
• The refinery has facilities to evacuate products
to the consuming centers through road, rail,
ships and through pipelines.
4. • The BPCL installation at Irumpanam, to which
the refinery is connected by pipelines, is the
major product distribution centre of the
refinery.
• Kochi Refinery has taken it as a mission to
make safe living and working a natural mantra
of its employees, contract workers, customers
and the general public.
6. POWER SYSTEM IN KR
• 2 KSEB 220 KV grid
• GTG 1 22 MW at 11 KV level
• GTG 2 34.5 MW at 11 KV level
• STG 17.8 MW at 11 KV level
• TG 25 MW at 3.3 KV level
• 2 switch gears 33 KV (HT101) and 11 KV (GIS)
• Critical loads 19.5 MW
7. LOAD SHEDDING
• Power system normal condition – adequate
generating to meet load
• Load shedding – imbalance b/w supply &
demand
• Types – fast & slow
• Ways – manual & automatic
8. EXISTING LOAD SHEDDING SCHEME
• Types – overloading of generators
under frequency based
• Feeder based load shedding scheme
• Frequency wise load shedding
• 123.dotx
• Under frequency relays – 7RW 600
• Limitation – load segregation not possible
9. SCADA
• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
• Monitor & control – distributed process
• MTU – master terminal unit
• RTU – remote terminal unit
• HMI – human machine interface
10. SCADA BASED
• Power deficit – load shedding initiated
• Power balance calculation -
Load to be tripped=Total load-(Total
generation + Margins available in running
generators)
• Tripping command – pre set priority
11. CONCLUSION
• Complex network – central control room
• Obtain stable plant operation – instability in
supply
• Application of SCADA – various levels
• Replace conventional relays – numerical relays
