3 Network Systems Who knows what distribution network systems are? When? What? How? Why? Where? 3 3

4 Network Systems Who? When were they first used? What? How? 1882 DC networks Why? 1907 Memphis; AC network Where? 1921 Seattle 1922 NY; first system 4 4

5 When were they first used? 1922 Westinghouse Electric developed first Network System Union Electric in New York, now called Consolidated Edison. Con Ed - 25,000 Network Protectors on their system. 85% of Con Ed load supplied by Networks. Today Commercial areas of most major cities over 200,000 have network systems. Secondary Network voltages are 216, 480, and 600VAC 5 5

8 What is a Network System? Alternative to traditional power distribution topologies Radial Primary Selective Secondary Selective Network System Spot Grid That s the way we have always done it 8 8

9 What is a Network System? Utility Substation Spot Network System Utility Substation Feeder Breaker Network Transformers Network Protector Network Breaker Fuse Cable Limiter Load Collector Bus *2 or more parallel feeders to a load supply allow uninterrupted power during contingency 9 9

10 What is a Network System? Grid Network System 10 10

11 What is a Network System? Grid Network System 3 Feeder Distributed

12 What is a Network System? Highest level of reliability for power distribution systems Most desirable for critical loads Two main topologies: Spot One dedicated customer Grid Several customers; i.e. City block 12 12

13 What is a Network System? Substation and Primary Feeders Nominal Voltages 4.16 kv to 34.5 kv Dedicated primary feeders- supply only network transformers 13 13

14 Network Systems Who? When? What? How does it work? Why? Where? 14 14

15 How does it work? Spot Network Fault on Primary side which causes breaker to open Spot Network - Fault on Primary Feeder Network Transformer Network protector Network breaker fuse Cable Limiters Collector Bus 15 15

16 How does it work? Spot Network Station Breaker opens which causes NP to open Spot Network - Station Breaker 1 is Opened Network Relay Trips Upon the Flow of Reverse Magnetizing Current of its Associated Network Transformer. Collector Bus 16 16

17 How does it work? Spot Network Station Breaker opens which causes NP to open Spot Network Continues operation at N-1 contingency Customer never experiences interruption of service Collector Bus 17 17

18 MPCV Relay Family Robust design for extreme temperatures (-40C to 125C).25 Thick Solid Brass Case Submersible Communication activated Advanced Safety Algorithms Only sequence based relay Replaces any Electro-Mechanical Network relay, solid state, or digital relays regardless of vintage or protector type. Specification preferred for foreign and domestic utilities 18 18

19 LV Secondary Network System Philosophy Underground Systems Reference Book, EEI T&D Committee (1957) Page 5-2: Operation is based on 3 principles: Westinghouse Electric Reference Book: Vol 3 Distribution Systems (1965) 1. The self-clearing of faults on the secondary grid either by burning-off faults or clearing by use of limiters. 2. Automatic opening of network protectors when a feeder breaker is opened or in event of a fault on a primary feeder cable or in a network transformer. 3. Automatic closing of network protectors to connect the network transformers to the secondary grid when the primary feeder is energized. 19 (Page 167) 19

52 Network Protector Selection Rationale Choose 1000kVA 5% Impedance Transformers (125% Maximum Short Term = 1504A) 1600A NWP Rating Provides 133% Transformer Nameplate Overload Margin, a good fit. 1875A NWP 156% Rating also utilizes 1600:5 CTs but unnecessary higher amperage fuses. Select 1600A CM52 NWP for a 2-Unit 1000kVA Spot Network. Notice that a 2-Unit 1500kVA Spot would yield: Higher Transformer $, Higher NWP $ (4-Pole CM52), for undesired excess load capacity
