The input to the UPS module shall be connected to an electrically operated input breaker. The output of the breaker shall connect to the input of the static disconnect switch and the static bypass switch. The output of the static disconnect switch shall connect to the line side of a line inductor. The load side of the line inductor shall be connected to the utility side of UPS converter. The other side of the UPS converter shall connect to the DC bus of the UPS module. The DC bus shall connect to 4 flywheel energy storage modules (FES). The load side of the line inductor shall also be connected to the load side of the static bypass switch and to the output of the UPS module. The UPS module shall have the space and means to include a 1600 amp output circuit breaker. B. OPERATION 1. The UPS shall operate continuously while maintaining specified output power quality whenever the AC input power is within specified steady state limits. The UPS shall operate properly from turbo-charged diesel generator sets equipped with electronic isochronous governors and three-phase sensing voltage regulators provided the generator sets are rated to support the critical load at rated UPS power plus UPS losses and recharging power for the FES. The UPS shall not require over sizing of engine generator sets to accommodate UPS input harmonics. The UPS shall be compatible with the Caterpillar 2250 generator set. 2. In normal mode operation, the input breaker, static disconnect switch, and output breaker are closed and the static bypass switch is open. The input source supplies real power to the UPS module to support the load and to keep the energy storage charged. The utility converter shall exchange reactive current through the line inductor to regulate the output voltage. The utility converter shall also supply reactive current and harmonic current required by the load. The static disconnect switch shall be phase controlled to block reverse power from flowing from the utility converters to the input source. UPS output voltage shall remain within 10 degrees of the input voltage during steady state operation at all load levels between no load and full load and shall not deviate by more than 15 degrees at the overload level that triggers an instantaneous transfer to bypass. It shall not be necessary for the UPS to draw power from the FES modules to support 100% step loads in normal mode operation. 3. When input frequency or voltage deviates outside pre-determined limits, the static disconnect switch and input circuit breaker shall open. At the same time the utility converter shall draw power from the FES modules to maintain uninterrupted power to the load within specified tolerances. The load shall continue to be supplied power from the FES until they are fully discharged or until the input returns within specified tolerances and the UPS resynchronizes, reconnects and ramps the load back onto the supply. The UPS shall resynchronize in the direction of the smaller angular difference and the maximum frequency slew rate shall be adjustable. The default slew rate shall be one Hz per second and shall accomplish resynchronization in less than 2.5 seconds when the frequency of the returned source is the same as the frequency prior to the input disturbance. The synchronization process shall not use phase jumps that appear to the load as high slew rate frequency changes. When the UPS module reconnects to the input the current walk-in shall be linear and without steps. 4. If the input does not return to within normal limits before the stored energy in exhausted, or if the UPS has not resynchronized to the input one of the following customer selectable choices shall occur: a. The UPS shall shut down without damage or clearing fuses and the output voltage shall cleanly transition to zero without spikes or surges. This shall be the default setting. b. An alternate firmware setting shall cause the UPS to attempt to maintain power to the load by making a break transfer to bypass if the bypass source is available. In this case, the Converters shall shut down and the bypass shall turn on after a programmable delay provided the bypass source is within limits specified herein. The delay shall be programmable over a minimum range of 0 seconds to 2 seconds. 5. When the UPS has walked in following reconnection to the utility source or following a discharge of stored energy for any reason, the UPS shall recharge the FES modules. The recharge current shall ramp up to a level corresponding to the preset, programmable recharge rate and, when the flywheels approach full charge the recharge current shall ramp down. The recharge power shall not be stepped on and off. The recharging current limit shall be set independently of the input current limit. However, if the input current limit is reached, recharging shall be reduced as required until it reaches the minimum allowable level. The maximum recharge rate shall be one that results in additional input current less than 20% of nominal full load input current. The maximum recharge setting shall allow the minimum flywheel configuration to be recharged in less than 5 minutes with 2 FES modules. The minimum allowable recharge rate shall increase the full load input current by less than 10% with 2 FES modules. 6. An alternate recharging mode shall be initiated by the Automatic Transfer Switch potential-free contact closure. This contact closure activates an alternate set of operating parameters (diesel operation, e.g.) for the UPS. Alternate charging current and input current limit, among other parameters, are activated by this contact when set in the field configurable firmware settings. Other parameters that may have alternate settings activated by this external input shall include, without limitation, walk-in rate, slew rate, input voltage window, and input frequency window. 7. The bypass shall be designed for automatic and manually initiated, automatically executed operation. Transfers to bypass shall occur without interruption of load current or voltage except when a break transfer upon complete discharge is selected as outlined above. The UPS shall automatically transfer to bypass in normal mode or discharge mode if it is overloaded in excess of specified time-load profile limits, if the output voltage deviates beyond specified parameters or if an internal failure occurs that will imminently render the UPS unable to support the load. Bypass transfer shall be inhibited whenever programmable, preset conditions are not met. Those conditions shall include the following: a. Phase differential between bypass source and UPS output less than 15 degrees as a default value with a programmable range from 15 degrees to 179 degrees. b. Frequency differential between Bypass source and UPS output less than 0.5 Hz as a default with a programmable range of 0.5 Hz to 2 Hz. c. Voltage differential between UPS output and bypass source of +10% to -15% and programmable to smaller differential values. 8. The number of re-transfers from bypass to UPS in any 10-minute period due to overload conditions shall be programmable from 0 to 3. If the maximum number or retransfers is reached, the UPS shall remain in bypass on the next transfer and shall require operator intervention at the UPS control panel to return to normal mode operation. Manual transfers to bypass shall be inhibited unless the bypass is within specified parameters and is synchronized to the output with less than 15 degrees phase differential. 9. Means shall be provided to prevent a shorted SCR condition of the static bypass switch or static disconnect switch from back feeding power from the UPS to the input when the input source has failed (anti-backfeed protection). Indication shall be provided whenever the anti-backfeed protection is activated to indicate a shorted SCR. When the anti-backfeed protection is activated, the input circuit breaker shall be opened whenever an input source failure is detected. Stand-alone anti-backfeed logic shall prevent a shorted SCR from connecting UPS output power to a failed utility even if the primary UPS logic fails. 10. The UPS controls shall be programmable for either automatic or manual starting. It shall be possible to start the UPS, charge the energy storage and check the UPS for correct internal operation without energizing the output. The customer may choose manual or automatic restart operation via a field selectable firmware setting. In manual mode operator intervention shall be required to start the UPS and energize the output. In automatic mode, the UPS shall start and energize the load automatically when it detects input power within specified tolerances. In automatic mode the UPS shall energize the output via bypass while the UPS starts. The UPS shall then transfer automatically from bypass to normal mode operation. 11. For service purposes means shall be included to brake the flywheels to a stop from full speed in less than 30 minutes. C. UPS MODULE ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS 1. The UPS module shall have built in surge suppression. Surge suppressors shall have indicators to detect when the devices are no longer capable of providing surge suppression 2. The UPS Module shall be protected against overloads and short circuits on its output. All power semiconductor devices shall have appropriate over current protection and shall have appropriate current limiting means to prevent cascading failures. Extensive internal monitoring and diagnostics shall be included to minimize UPS damage from internal failures. 3. The UPS Module shall have a withstand rating of at least 65,000 amps. A complete copy of the specifications is available upon request by submitting an email request to the attention of JoAnna Black at jblack@bnl.gov. Telephonic inquiries will not be accepted.
