In power-system interconnection, accurate synchronizing voltage selection is essential for secure and reliable operation. This becomes especially critical in extra-high-voltage (EHV) 3/2 busbar systems, where breaker configurations are complex. If the synchronizing reference voltage is selected incorrectly, even the most advanced control measures lose effectiveness.
Typical Scenarios Requiring Voltage Switching
Multi-Unit Power Plant Interconnection In hydropower and similar plants, multiple generating units often share one synchronizing system. It is essential to switch to the correct unit’s voltage as the reference signal—reducing investment cost while maintaining synchronizing precision.
Synchronizing in 3/2 Busbar Systems At 550 kV and 1000 kV levels, the 3/2 busbar configuration is widely applied. Since a single breaker can correspond to different operating modes and synchronizing points, the principle of “nearest-point selection” must be followed—choosing the voltage signal that most accurately reflects the actual system state.
Traditional vs. Intelligent Approaches
Traditional method: Relied on synchronizing panels and manual intervention. Wiring was complex, and system reliability was limited.
Intelligent solution: ODES MSCR662A Synchronizing Voltage Selection Device
Application Results
Automated voltage selection: Minimizes human intervention, reducing risk of operator error.
High EMC resilience: Ensures precision under strong disturbance environments.
