Synchronization systems

Safety and speed are not mutually exclusive when latest innovative technology is used.

The synchronization of rotating electrical machines and networks requires the highest quality and reliability and allows no errors. ANDRITZ relies on over 50 years of experience and a broad installed base in the field of synchronization for the development of its product portfolio. With the increasing demands on the availability and flexibility of electrical power supply, the synchronization process of rotating electrical machines and the power grid must also be fast and reliable, even under difficult conditions, to ensure the stability of electrical networks.

ANDRITZ offers HIPASE-S, an innovative synchronization system designed according to the highest demands of the energy market. The increasing complexity of synchronization applications requires not only a powerful device but also intelligent tools for operation and parameterization. The HIPASE Engineering Tool has been developed according to the latest principles of ergonomics and user-friendliness to handle every application quickly and safely.

HIPASE-S

HIPASE-S is a fast, highly accurate, and universal synchronization system for parallel connection of networks, lines (loaded/unloaded), generators, motors (pumps), and synchronous condensers, covering all application areas of power generation.

An integrated full-graphic touch panel shows all important status variables in a menu-guided manner and supports the test and commissioning phase by determining the optimal synchronization parameters in a time-saving manner.

In addition to extensive event logging, a high-resolution analysis tool with multi-stage automatic curve recording enables a detailed history of the last 100 synchronization processes. Built-in logging functions show process sequences and events, while high-resolution curve recordings enable quick and accurate diagnostics.

HIPASE-S is available in the following configurations:

2 circuit breakers, single-phase measurement for 50 Hz or 60 Hz

7 circuit breakers, single-phase measurement for 50 Hz or 60 Hz

2 circuit breakers, three-phase measurement for 50 Hz or 60 Hz

7 circuit breakers, three-phase measurement for 50 Hz or 60 Hz

7 circuit breakers for railway applications

In all configurations, an optimized frequency adjustment not only accelerates the synchronization process but also reduces the mechanical stress during switching to an absolute minimum.

SYN 3000

Synchronization provides five operating modes:

Generator with system or line
Synchronous or asynchronous systems or lines
Synchronous or asynchronous systems or lines with dead bus or line
Synchronizing check for manual connection
Auto transfer supervision of bus-bar systems

As a special function, the circuit breaker (CB) closing time can be measured and stored as a parameter. The basic design contains numerous internal safety functions (double voltage measuring circuits, fail-safe connections for the CB command outputs). To meet the highest of standards, a 2-channel unit can be used.

With the easy-to-use SYN-WIN software, synchronization processes are displayed online on a computer screen. The synchronizing process can be tracked on analog measuring instruments (double voltmeter, double frequency meter, and synchronoscope) overlaid on screen. The entire synchronizing process is logged automatically and can be displayed afterwards graphically for analysis and optimization purposes. This software allows the parameters of the SYN 3000 to be entered, modified and saved with password protection.

SICAM 1703 ACP

If the Al 6303 automation module from the SICAM 1703 ACP product line is used, the synchronization process can be integrated directly into the automation and control system.
With the direct transformer signal interface, there is no need for an additional interface level. As an integrated component, this synchronization tool has all the system properties of the SICAM 1703 ACP product line for project planning and visualization in addition to its own specific features
