SIZING REPORT

4.0

ASSUMPTIONS/CONSIDERATIONS:
The following assumptions are made for purpose of Station
Transformer sizing calculations.

4.1

A power factor of 0.85 and an efficiency of 0.95 has been

considered for GT starting motor.

4.2

As per SEC-EOAs clarification vide A40 of clarification set No 04

dated 10th Dec 2003, starting of only one GTG starting motor has
been considered at a time.

4.3

An overall margin of minimum 10% is considered on Station

Auxiliary loads at 480V Station Switchgear over and above the base
load kVA rating. This is to take into account variations in the
estimates during detailed engineering and for future addition of
loads.

4.4

The final rating of the transformer will not be less than the rating
indicated in the Technical proposal.

4.5

For Station Transformer sizing, the following conditions are

considered.

4.5.1

Under normal conditions, each Station Transformer will feed the

station loads connected to its bus section with the bus coupler in
open condition.

4.5.2

During failure of one ST, the other ST will feed the entire 4.16kV
Switchgear loads. Under this condition, outage of two UATs and
starting of one 4.16kV Starting motor is considered, such that the
ST will be feeding the starting motor, entire station loads and two
Unit auxiliary Switchgear loads.

SIZING CALCULATION :

5.1

Calculation of load during starting of one 4.16kV GT Starting motor

with 100% base load on 4.16kV Switchgear:

5.1.1

Maximum Load to be fed

from
one
Station
Transformer during starting
of one GT Starting motor
with 100% base load on
4.16kV Switchgear

5.1.2

Maximum Base load on 4.16kV switchgear =

Starting kVA of GT Starting

motor + Base load in kVA on
4.16kV Switchgear

1765kVA

(Refer to Page 2 of 2, Annexure-II of Doc.No.30421007-3CL-00003P0A: Station and Unit Auxiliary transformers sizing report )
Considering 10 % margin, Base load = 1765 x 1.1 = 1941.5 kVA
5.1.3

The input kVA of Starting motor is calculated considering efficiency

& power factor.
Starting motor rating =

663 kW at a Power factor of 0.85 and an

efficiency of 0.95

(As per preliminary load list. This rating would be confirmed with
Sub Vendor)
Starting Motor kVA

= 663 / 0.85x0.95
= 821 kVA

As per Cl.No.6.10.05.B.3, Page 214 of 336 of PTS-1022, the locked

rotor currents at rated voltage shall not exceed 550% of the full load
current. (the actual starting current of GT motor would be verified
with Sub vendor)
Hence, kVA of the motor during starting

= 5.5 x full load kVA

= 5.5 x 821
= 4515.5 kVA

Calculation of load during running of one 4.16kV GT Starting motor

with 100% base load on 4.16kV Switchgear:

5.2.1

Maximum Load to be fed

from
one
Station
Transformer during running
of one GT Starting motor
with 100% base load on
4.16kV Switchgear

5.2.2

Maximum Base load on 4.16kV switchgear =

motor + Base load in kVA on
4.16kV Switchgear

1765kVA

(Refer to Page 2 of 2, Annexure-II of Doc.No.30421007-3CL-00003P0A: Station and Unit Auxiliary transformers sizing report )
Considering 10 % margin, Base load = 1765 x 1.1 = 1941.5 kVA
5.2.3

Running load required for Starting Motor

= 663 / 0.85x0.95
= 821 kVA

5.2.4

Hence, maximum Load to

be fed from one Station
Transformer during running
of one GT Starting motor
with 100% base load on
4.16kV Switchgear

Running load in kVA of GT

Starting motor + Base load in
kVA on 4.16kV Switchgear

SIZING REPORT

5.3

The minimum kVA rating of Station Transformer shall be such that:

5.4

i)

it shall be able to deliver the running load required

continuously.

ii)

For the starting period of one GT Starting motor, the Station

Transformer shall be able to meet the load kVA requirement
without exceeding the permissible temperature rises.

iii)

during starting of GT Starting motor, Voltage dip shall be

limited to 12.5% as per clause 4.03 of PTS-1022 Page No.
90 of 336.

As per Cl.No.5.2.4 above, the minimum Station Transformer rating

shall be 2763kVA to meet the full load requirements. However, as
per clause 3.03.2 of PTS-1022, Page No. 37 of 336, 7500kVA
transformer is the minimum rating required.
Hence, kVA rating of Station Transformer selected = 7500kVA.

5.5

As can be seen, 7500kVA rated transformer is meeting the

requirements of Cl.No.5.3 (i) & (ii) above. Also, voltage dip during
motor starting is observed to be 6% as per System studies
conducted which is well within the limit of the allowable 12.5%.
