SCADA UHV Monitoring System

SCADA

UHV Monitoring System

A full set of complete substation monitoring and management system, component supply and optical fiber wiring construction.

System Introduction

Billion Watts enables a large-scale power plant (Power transmission level with capacity above 20MW) to connect to the UHV system (such as 69KV, 161KV, etc.). Due to the vast area occupied by the photovoltaic panels of the large-scale PV system , for the sake of economic configuration, a high-voltage unit substation is usually set up in units of 1~3MW to concentrate the inverters in the area, sharing a step-up transformer for increasing the voltage to a medium and high level, such as 22.8KV level, to reduce line loss in order to facilitate power transmission.


In other words, a large-scale solar power generation system usually consists of one (or two) UHV parallel booster stations and several 1~3 MW unit substations. Each substation is responsible for monitoring its corresponding inverter, high voltage transformer, meter, switch relay, as well as gathering corresponding photoelectric panel convergence information and weather data.


At the same time, by using the fiber optic network, the unit monitor system is connected to the primary monitoring management system and IED of UHV parallel stations which is equipped with a time synchronizer to accurately record the booster station's event information and status to conform to the purpose of TPC's data upload and dispatch.

Substation Unit

The unit substation usually gathers the power generation of photovoltaic panels and inverters in a certain area, shares a step-up transformer to increase the output voltage of the inverter to 22.8KV for facilitating the transmission of power to the remote UHV parallel booster station, and then boosts and connect it to TPC’s UHV system (69KV or 161KV).

Large-Scale Solar Monitoring and Management System

Large-scale solar monitoring and management systems are divided into UHV grid-connected monitoring and power generation management of power plant equipment. The former aims at real-time and safety monitoring. The latter emphasizes efficiency and O&M management. UHV grid-connected monitoring uses the PV SCADA system based on professional graphic control, which can achieve accurate and real-time monitoring. PV power generation O&M management uses a simple and efficient traceability management system, which can grasp the equipment performance of the whole plant and power generation efficiency as well as guarantee the amount of power generation.
