CHAPTER 10- SWITCHYARD
10.1 Introduction:
Switchyard means collection of electrical equipment where high voltage electricity is
switched using of various component. Electrical switchyards are usually part of a
substation where electricity is transformed from one voltage to another for the
transmission or distribution.
Switchyard provides the facilities for switching, Protection & control of electric
power.
A switchyard is essentially a hub for electrical power sources. For instance, a
switchyard will exist at a generating station to coordinate the exchange of power
between the generators and the transmission lines in the area. A switchyard will also
exist when high voltage lines need to be converted to lower voltage for distribution
to consumers. The function of electrical switch yard is to deliver the generated power
from power plant at desired voltage level to the nearest grid. In Another way we can
say simply switching the received power supply from various generating stations to
various locations with respect to their requirement. Therefore a switchyard will
contain; current carrying conductors, grounding wires and switches, transformers,
disconnects, isolators, remotely controlled arc snuffing breakers, metering devices,
etc.
10.2 Components & Devices used in Switchyard
Bus bar
Bus couplers
Feeder
CT & PT
Power transformer
Isolators
Breakers
Lightening arrestor
10.2.1 Bus-bar
These are connecting bar which are connected to various local and distribution feeders
and also intact with supply sources. OR Those conductors that receive source supply
Industrial Training Report 2016
GHIAS-UD-DIN Page 23
and distribute to different lines.
10.2.2 Bus Coupler
Double bus scheme, where two bus bars are installed a provision of bus coupler has
been provided. Therein a bus coupling circuit breaker with two isolators is called bus
coupler. Its prime function is to substantiate the supply on any bus bar without
disconnecting with system.
10.2.3 Feeder
The feeder is used to connect the electricity to consumer. This has vital role is power
system
10.2.4 CT/PT (Current and potential transformer)
These are also called instrument transformer. These are used to measure voltage and
current of different high voltage lines.
CT is a type of instrument transformer that is used in power system for measurement,
detection, protection the system. Current transformers are used extensively for
measuring current and monitoring the operation of the power grid. Current
transformers, together with voltage transformers (VT) (potential transformers (PT)),
are known as instrument transformers.it is a device used to measure large current by
scaling large primary current to a smaller , easy to measure, secondary current.
Industrial Training Report 2016
GHIAS-UD-DIN Page 24
Current or voltage instrument transformers are necessary for isolating the protection,
control and measurement equipment from the high voltages of a power system, and
for supplying the equipment with the appropriate values of current and voltage -
generally these are 1A or 5Α for the current coils, and 120 V for the voltage coils.
Industrial Training Report 2016
GHIAS-UD-DIN Page 25
10.2.5 Isolator
Isolators are used in electrical substations to allow isolation of apparatus
such as circuit breakers and transformers, and transmission lines, for
maintenance. Often the isolation switch is not intended for normal
control of the circuit and is used only for isolation. This can be termed
as off load switch Isolator is also capable of switching with the charging
current and also breaks the bus transfer current which is its functional
requirement.
An isolator switch is used to make sure that an electrical circuit can be
completely de-energized for service or maintenance.
10.2.6 Breaker
A circuit breaker is an automatically-operated electrical switch designed to protect an
electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its function is to
interrupt continuity, to immediately discontinue electrical flow. In switchyard High
Capacity Circuit Breakers are used. It works on on-load.
A circuit breaker is a piece of equipment which can
I. Make or break a circuit either manually or by remote control under normal
condition.
II. Break a circuit automatically under fault conditions
III. Make a circuit either manually or by remote control under fault condition
10.2.7 Lightening arrestor
A lightening arrester is a device to protect electrical equipment
from over-voltage transients caused by external (lightning) or
internal (switching) events. Also called a surge protection device
(SPD) or transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) .
A lightning arrester is a device used on electrical power systems
and telecommunication systems to protect the insulation and
conductors of the system from the damaging effects of lightning.
The typical lightning arrester has a high-voltage terminal and a
ground terminal. When a lightning surge (or switching surge,
which is very similar) travels along the power line to the arrester,
the current from the surge is diverted through the arrestor, in most
cases to earth.
10.2.8 Power Transformer
This is stationary device even though no part of this device is Rotating. This operates
on the law of mutual induction. According to Faraday’s law if current is supplied in
Industrial Training Report 2016
GHIAS-UD-DIN Page 26
one coil the due to mutual Induction the supply will automatically enters into second
coil. Transformer work on this law and transform the current from high to Low
voltage or low to high voltage. The coil in which the current is supplied called
“Primary coil” and the receiving coil is called “Secondary coil”. The transformer can
be step up or step down. Transformers are used to reduce of improve the generator
voltage which is further supplied to system.

10.5 Bucholz relay
This relay has been installed in between conservator tank and transformer. This
prevent the transformer from every of kind of internal fault which can be occur by
short circuiting winding and core terminals. Due to short circuit the oil gets
overheated and resultantly gasification will occur. These gases travels to the
conservative tank thereby Bucholz relay has been placed. The mercury switches will
get operated which subsequently operate the primary and secondary circuit breaker
and generator breaker got opened. It is also called gas operated relay.
10.6 Relay
The relays are use for productions of the system
10.6.1 Relays types
The two type of relays are used .
1.Fix time relay

8. At higher pressure with the aid of baffles and other devices.
11.4.2 BOILER FURNACE
The furnace is the place where burning process with a mixture of fuel and air takes
place. This provides space during burning. This also prevents the heat loss during fire
because this is a sealed compartment. Furnace disburses heat to up riser tubes which
converts water into steam. This also prevents to enter cold air into furnace.
The furnace design should be like that which prevent heat losses.
Industrial Training Report 2016
GHIAS-UD-DIN Page 32
11.4.3 Burners
Burner is a device, which helps to ignite fuel with the help of air. This device is used
for proper firing. Burner is a prime source to set right the fuel and air mixture,
pressure and firing location. Burner is also called boiler operating parameter due to its
importance for calculating boiler efficiency.
Properties of Burner
With the help of burner fuel burns completely.
Easy to operate.
Maintain fire arc’s direction, so that at heat utilized within furnace.
It makes proper mixture of air and fuel
11.4.4 Super Heaters
It is boiler auxiliary designed to superheat the saturated steam to a specified
temperature. It may reach up to 540 C.
Duties of Super Heater
1. It increases the temp. of saturated steam.
2. It is used to dry the steam
3. It provides an outlet to superheated steam towards the steam turbine.
Super heater consists of bundle of tubes from which saturated steam passes. This wet
steam gets more heat to convert into super-heated steam. Super heaters are installed in
all three zones of boiler.
1. Radiant Super heater
2. Platen Super heater
Industrial Training Report 2016
GHIAS-UD-DIN Page 33
3. Convective Super heater
The temperature of superheated steam is around 400 to 595 ⁰C. Usually it is around
540 ⁰C. The allowable difference is around ±5 to10 ⁰C
Advantage of super-heated steam
1. Improve turbine efficiency
2. No harm can occurred to turbine blade due to wet steam
3. No rust will occur to turbine blade
4. Blades do not bend
Steam temperature control in boiler
1. De-super heater
2. Gas recirculation fan
3. Fuel increased / decreased
4. Air flow control
5. Tilting of burner position
6. Soot blowing
7. Shot blasting
11.4.5 Re-heaters
Re-heater can also be termed as super heater. They can also be called as intermediate
super heaters. These are installed in flue gas duct. The get heat through flue gases and
rises wet steam temperature. There is no temperature different in re-heater or super
heater. However due no decrease in steam pressure it is called re-heater. The pressure
decreases due to line resistance.
Duties of re-heaters
1. Re-heaters increase the temperature of cold reheat steam
2. They prevent the condensation of steam in I.P turbine.
3. Re-heater is a safety device of I.P turbine.
11.4.6 Boiler Water Tubes
Down comers
Tubes that come downward from boiler are called down comers. These are located in
unheated zone. They contain feed water. Further due to less temperature of feed water
it become heavy comparison to steam, thus natural circulation of water occurs. The
feed water enters in boiler drum lower header. This is also called thermal circulation
of feed water.
Up riser
Tubes that come from downward to boiler drum called up risers. In these tubes water
coverts into saturated steam that why they are called as generation tubes. These tubes

GHIAS-UD-DIN Page 34
are located inside the furnace and came into radiation zone, that’s why they get
maximum heat. These are also called water wall and also used as insulation of boiler.
11.4.7 Air pre-heater
Heating combustion air can raise boiler efficiency about 1% for every 40⁰F in
temperature increase. The most common way to preheat the air is with a heat
exchanger on the flue exhaust. Air pre-heater is installed into flue gases duct. The
heating element get heat from flue gases and passes it to the air going into furnace, so
that temperature of combustion air increased. This helps for proper fuel burning.
11.4.8 Forced Draught Fan
This fan intake air from turbine hall or boiler side and sent it through air pre heater in
the burners. This creates a positive draught in furnace.
11.4.9 Chimney / Stack
A vertical channel or pipe which conducts smoke and combustion gases up from a fire
or furnace and typically through the roof of a building.
Chimneys are made of steel or masonry or common bricks or perforated bricks.
Generally they are made of several sections. For short exhaust stack, steel chimneys
are preferred. Steel chimneys are usually preferred in the case of GTPS because a gas
turbine attains its full load in less than a minute and as such a chimney has to with
stand, a thermal shock resulting from the increase in temperature of 450~500 0C
during this period.

11.4.10 Boiler Safety Valves
The boiler drums are manufactured on a specific pressure. Thus, in case the pressure
exceed beyond the capability of boiler drum can explode and due to explosion,
chaotic situation can occur in shape of fatal accident to human or machinery. Thus, to
prevent from this state boiler safety valves are installed which operates on specific
pressure. So whenever pressure exceed from limit these valve get operated
automatically.
11.5 TURBINE
Turbine is used to convert the heat energy into mechanical energy.
The load requirement is controlled by the steam flow through a governing valve.
Steam turbine has two parts.
1. HP turbine
2. LP turbine.
11.5.1 HP (High Pressure) Turbine
First of all steam from boiler comes into the HP turbine. Steam in the HP turbine is
called live steam or main steam. Rotor blades diameter of this part of turbine is
smallest of the other parts of the turbine. Inlet steam temperature of the HP turbine is
950 F and pressure is 1250 Psi.
11.5.2 LP (Low Pressure) Turbine
The outgoing steam of the IP turbine entered into the LP turbine. Steam from the LP
turbine goes into the condenser.

11.6 DC Supply:
As we all know that AC supply can’t be stored. Thus the back systems in power
houses are used built on DC supply system. It is a stand by source of electricity
available at every movement in shape of storage batteries in order to protect our main
system to damage.
11.6.1 Importance of DC supply
All the control and protection system is based on DC supply. Usually the AC supply
is converted to DC through rectifier. Further battery bank is also used which is charge
through rectifier. This DC produced by battery bank is used in emergency when AC is
not available. Moreover, during charging the chemical energy converts into electrical
energy.
11.6.2 Different parts of DC supply
Rectifier
Battery charger
Battery cell 24VDC or 220VDC
11.7 Use of battery in power station

Recommendations
I found a very good practical learning environment at GENCO III (NPGCL). Some
recommendations are given for the students who want to do their internship program.
Undergraduate Internship Report Department of Electrical Engineering, Govt.
College University
Students must complete the courses related to their internship before
beginning the program. Completing the related courses before the internship
helps the students to understand the topic better.
During training period there may be any fault in the general activities of
power plant. It is necessary to learn about fault and how the engineers repair
the faulty part. Students should visit that faulty section and should try to get a
brief lecture on that fault from their mentor.
