Overview
Renewables power plants: Wind farms
+40 000 MW installed worlwide.
+18 000 wind turbines equipped
with our cubicles.
The choice of network configuration used in wind farms will affect the services
required by the MV switchgear. The majority of wind farms are arranged in a
radial configuration.
The radial configuration is characterized by its simplicity, lower investment
required and ease of commissioning. However it provides service continuity in
the event of an outage.
Since DVCAS cubicles have been designed specifically to go inside wind
turbines, no site configuration is required, reducing the cost and simplifying
installation as well as reducing the environmental impact.

Fields of application
Overview
Renewables power plants: Solar farms
Photovoltaic power stations are groups of
equipment with huge generating capacity,
usually connected to the medium voltage (MV)
electrical distribution network.
MV electrical distribution on a solar farm consists of a certain number of LV/MV
transformer substations in PV power station units connected in a loop (ring), so
the typical diagram for this type of substation has two line functions and one
transformer protection function including a circuit breaker.
Nevertheless, it is also possible to have bypass diagrams that do not form
part of the loop, and also two transformers contained in the same transformer
substation.
DM103494_3
They can consist of a large number of
individual PV power stations with different
power ratings.

Environment
Emission-free
Since its foundation, Schneider Electric has been strongly committed to
the environment. Schneider Electric was one of the first companies to stake its
future on renewable energies and design MV equipment for wind farm application.
Schneider Electric integrates the top 10 of the 2015 Global 100 Most Sustainable
Corporations in the World.
A rigorous material management system,
at the heart of the whole productive
process, provides product traceability
and helps preventing emission of pollutants.
The materials used are identified, and are easy to separate and recycle.
PM104571
DVCAS cubicles have been designed with protection of the environment in mind:
• “RoHS Compliant”
•
Obsolete DVCAS cubicles can be processed, recycled and their materials
recovered in accordance with the requirements of European legislation for end
of life of electrical and electronic products
•
The tanks are leaktight, thus allowing DVCAS cubicles to be classified as
“sealed pressure systems”. The
gas can therefore be recovered and,
after appropriate treatment, be reused
•
The environmental management system adopted by Schneider Electric is
certified in accordance with the requirements set out in standard ISO 14001
PM108133
Schneider Electric has a number of energy-efficient installations using pioneering
production methodologies that provides improved respect for the environment
throughout the manufacturing process and in the final product.
Manufacture: Rigorous systematic checking
Quality is our top priority. To this end, at Schneider Electric we have implemented
a quality policy which encompasses design and customized manufacture right
through to the after-sales service.
This quality system is certified in accordance with the requirements of standard ISO
9001.
As part of this established policy of enhanced manufacturing quality, the stainless
steel welding processes are certified in accordance with international standard ISO
3834-2.
During the manufacturing process, in order to check the quality, each DVCAS
cubicle is subjected to routine systematic checks: leaktightness, dielectric test,
contact resistance, etc. The results of these checks are recorded and form part of
the test certificate available for each cubicle.

We recommend that the incoming line function from
the preceding renewable Power generation unit
on a renewable Power plant, is created by using a
DVCAS function equipped with a 3-position switch
disconnector, for a variety of reasons:
• Minimizes downtime in the event of malfunctions
•
Assists troubleshooting
•
Reduces downtime for maintenance work
•
Optimizes energization work
The I function could be connected to another
functional unit, by means of single-phase coupling
bushings with shielded elastomeric insulation.

The switch disconnectors are three-position autopneumatic type: connected,
disconnected and earthed, and hence intrinsically helping to prevent incorrect
operation.
They are general usage category, for frequent use (100 operations), in accordance
with IEC 62271-103. They have short-circuit breaking capacity, on both the switchdisconnector closing and cable earthing operations. The breaking technique used
is autopneumatic blowing of
towards the contact separation zone.

The actuation speed in opening and closing operations (except opening the
earthing switch) is independent of actuation by the operator. The 3-position switch
disconnector can be manually operated using an actuating lever.
As an option, the switch function driving mechanism can be motorized and the
actuating lever can be the non-return type. This function, combined with Flair type
earth fault detectors and protection devices in the substation allows remote outage
isolation and gradual service restoration.
Interlocks

In the design of the switch-disconnector, all standard operating conditions have
been taken into consideration, in order to offer an enhanced safety for people and
goods through the use of appropriate interlocks.
DM107246
Access to MV cables
1
The interlock allowing access to the MV cable compartment is only released
once the circuit has been earthed. As an option, an interlock with a lock can be
incorporated, in such a way that its key is only released with the earthing switch in
the closed position and the panel unlocked.

Circuit breaker
The function is selected (operation permissible on the disconnector) using an
indicator type selector switch.
Interlocks
In the design of both the circuit breaker and the disconnector, all standard
operating conditions have been taken into consideration, in order to provide
improved safety for operators and assets through the use of appropriate interlocks,
thus helping to eliminate the possibility of incorrect operations.
Standard disconnector operation is manual, using an actuating lever.
The function is selected (permissible operation) using a selector switch.
The indicator type selector switch design only allows the actuating lever to be
inserted in the actuating point corresponding to the selected function.
The actuating lever cannot be removed until the disconnector operation is fully
completed.
The circuit breaker cannot be closed until the function selector switch has been put
in the neutral position, which indicates the disconnector operation is completed.
The 3-position disconnector can only be actuated when the circuit breaker is in the
open position.

Setting the function selector switch in the neutral position helps to prevent
mechanical and electrical operations on the circuit breaker.
In addition, connecting the disconnector to earth cancels electrical operations on
the switch. For its part, no operation will be possible on the 3-position disconnector
while the circuit breaker is closed.
Access to MV cables and the transformer enclosure
As an option, the protection function has a key that remains free when this function
is earthed.
Similarly, it is not possible to access the MV cable compartment unless this
functional unit is earthed.
Secondly, there are specific internal interlocks which help to secure that operations
on the switch and earthing switch are prevented when the panel has been removed
or the key withdrawn.
There are other special interlocks using a lock that can also be included as an
option.

Disconnector function (S)
Functions
and characteristics
This function includes a the three-position disconnector and a busbar system rated
at 1250 A .
This function is commonly used as line feeder / line outgoing in wind farms and
solar farms networks whenever the nominal current exceeds 630 A.
DM107287
As the size of the power generation units in wind farms and solar farms increases,
the transformer included in wind turbines and solar power stations increases its
nominal power and, consequently, the nominal current of each power generation
unit increase.
This nominal current increase will limit the number of Wind Turbines or Solar
Power Stations that could be connected per each array when using 630 A rated
equipment.

3-position disconnector
The disconnector of the S function is a three position type design: connected
to busbar, disconnected from busbar and connected to earthed, and hence
intrinsically helping to prevent incorrect operation.
This component incorporated in DVCAS cubicles complies with the requirements
of standard IEC 62271-102 for disconnectors and earthing switches.
Operation and control
The 3-position disconnector is manually operated using an actuating lever. The
actuation speed in the opening and closing operations depends on actuation by
the operator.
The function is selected (operation permissible on the disconnector) using an
indicator type selector switch.
Interlocks
In the design of the disconnector, all standard operating conditions have been
taken into consideration, in order to provide improved safety for operators and
goods through the use of appropriate interlock, thus helping to eliminate the
possibility of incorrect operations.
Standard disconnector operation is manual, using an actuating lever.
The function is selected (permissible operation) using a selector switch.
The indicator type selector switch design only allows the actuating lever to be
inserted in the actuating point corresponding to the selected function.
The actuating lever cannot be removed until the disconnector operation is fully
completed.

Notes
In addition to the Harsh Environment features of the switchgear itself, there is an
special packing available, as an option, for those sites where the switchboard may
remain exposed to severe ambient conditions for more than 6 months, prior to the
commissioning stage
Power Stations
The DVCAS range is especially suitable for this type of configurations where 1 to
3 inputs / outputs are usually required to supply several transformer positions in
parallel.
These type of installations require high service continuity, advanced protections
such as directional overcurrent, busbar voltage measurement, accurate power
measurement at each transformer position, communications facilities for efficient
remote monitoring and operation, etc.
It is usual practice for this type of installation to be installed in prefabricated power
houses that include, in addition to medium voltage switchgears, a transformer to
feed auxiliary services, a UPS unit and a set of Low Voltage equipments for the
control, monitoring and communication of the power station
We find this type of configurations in applications such as Oil & Gas, Data Centres,

•
No need for an auxiliary power supply
•
Settings made easy
•
Simplicity of switchgear panels
Numerical CT and Vx Auxiliary VoltagePowered Overcurrent Relays
•
Communication features for DCS/SCADA
system
MiCOM P116 are numerical relays designed to offer overcurrent and earth fault
protection without requiring an external auxiliary supply.
•
Accurate knowledge of what has happened
(monitoring and recording)
They can be applied to medium and high voltage electrical systems as either main
or backup protection.
•
User-friendly maintenance thanks to an
optional withdrawable case
•
USB port for local communications with
self-powering facilities
•
Effortless installation (typical 1A or 5A CTs)
•
FRAM memory: Battery back-up not
required
When supervision functions are required, the dual-powered relay offers additional
measurement, monitoring and recording functions.
The P116 can be configured manually, without using setting software.
Alternatively, MiCOM S1 Studio setting software allows configuration parameters to
be modified for a specific application via the USB port.
IEC 60870-5-103 and Modbus RTU integrated communication protocols are
available for flexible integration into most substation control or DCS systems.
A capacitance discharge output is able to provide sufficient power to energise a
circuit breaker’s low energy trip coil.
An external flag indicator is used for remote or local indication that a trip has
occurred.
Accessories such as low energy striker or capacitor trip unit are also available to fit
your particular application.
For Flush or Wall Mounted applications, an optional secondary case is available for
ease of installation.
PM103535
APPLICATION
The MiCOM P116 numerical overcurrent protection relays provide an optimized and
cost efficient solution where no external auxiliary power supply is available.
Typical applications are:
•
Utility and industrial substation fitted with cost-optimized MV switchboards
•
HV back-up protection (HV/MV transformers)
•
Retrofit relays of old technology, particularly during installation of DCS systems.
P116 offers two models:
•
Dual powered Model A - suitable for application when communication and
recording facility is required
•
CT powered Model L – optimized for basic application (cost optimized
switchgear panels without communication, retrofit, replacement, etc)
In addition to its protection functions and when powered by an external auxiliary
supply, the dual-powered P116 (Model A) is able to transmit recorded and
measured data to a supervisor through communication networks. Should the
auxiliary power supply (Vx) cut out, it will help that protection and tripping functions
remain operational.
MiCOM P116 relays draw the power necessary to their operation from the line’s
current transformers and the auxiliary voltage supply (Model A).

Easergy Flair
Flair earth fault indicators are used to provide advanced management of MV
networks.
Flair indicators, by enabling quick detection and troubleshooting of MV network
outages, minimize the availability losses that occur during troubleshooting and
subsequent need to repair the affected MV network.
PE415848
Flair earth fault indicators, used in I switch-disconnectors on incoming lines,
are used to quickly isolate the affected section of the network, thus maximizing
the wind farm's availability.
Top efficiency is achieved with Flair indicators when the I outgoing line switchdisconnectors are motorized and provided with a rectifier-battery charger. In this
way service can be restored immediately from the control station.
This option improves continuity of service and minimizes the payback period.

Backup Power Supply/UPS
PS100
PS100 is a high-quality external power supply containing a battery charger
for MV switchgear which help to secure continuity of operation in the event
of an outage.
It provides alternative power to MV equipment. It can be incorporated in
transmission, protection and control devices in MV equipment. Protection relays
and earth fault detectors can both take a PS100.
The PS100 charger complies with standard IEC 60255-5 (10 kV).
Low voltage and overvoltage protection.
PM104611
Characteristics
It includes a charger with a temperature sensor that is used to adjust the charging
voltage.
The power supply unit measures the battery resistance every 12 hours.
It sends information monitored via a communication port (RJ45 Modbus) and
a relay output that detects a malfunction in the charger power supply, battery or
voltage.
PS100
Benefits
PM108136
Conventional power supplies need 2 or 4 batteries to supply 24 or 48 V, with
complicated battery replacement and adjustment procedures. PS100 simply needs
a battery, making replacement considerably easier. The battery unit supplies 24 or
48 V simultaneously for system components that use exclusively 24 or 48 V.
PS100 is designed to supply power for 48 hrs without interruption. The unit keeps
additional power in reserve so that it can start up the installation after a long
shutdown.
This “reserve power” can be activated by pressing the pushbutton, which will give
power to the protection relays, allowing the DVCAS to be able to operate.
High insulation level to help protecting electrical devices in harsh environments.

cable compartment access door has the necessary
interlocks to provide an improved safety. On modular
cubicles, the door can only be opened when the line
is earthed (D, I, 0, T).
The transformer protection cubicles incorporate (depending on their type) a side
cable compartment, which can be used to create the rigid incoming busbar riser.
All the equipment has a general earth collector at the bottom consisting of a
40 x 5 mm copper bar (marked 15), provided with connection terminals, in order to
connect the equipment to the transformer substation general earthing circuit.
This is essential for helping to protect people against electrical discharges.
Each cubicle has plenty of cable compartments, with
enough room to install a double connection where
necessary, which can be accessed from the front.

Connectors
The connectors are fitted to the DVCAS cubicle bushings.
The bushings are located in the MV cable compartment.
The access door to the cable compartment has the necessary interlocks to help
preventing an undesired access. The door can only be opened when the line is
earthed.
The bushings are type C threaded and are molded from epoxy resin with a
threaded metal insert to house the clamping screw. They are routinely subjected to
dielectric tests at power frequency and to partial discharge tests.
PM104612
DVCAS cubicles use “T” shape screw connectors from the 36 kV/630 A/20 kA
range. The connectors are shielded and the screen is earthed.
These connectors are type C, manufactured in accordance with EN 50180,
EN 50181. The bushing model used in DVCAS cubicle functions also complies with
standard EN 50181.
Although in their more common wind farm application, DVCAS cubicles are
equipped with a single MV cable for each phase, the cubicles allow connection of
two cables per phase for the same footprint.
The connector is made from a single piece of high-quality EPDM rubber. The
connector provides a hermetically-sealed connection and a long service life for the
cable ends.
