• Why auxiliary supply is needed ?

To supply power to generator/turbine

and other ancillary equipments for
their operation.
• Different Voltage levels exist in our power
system

• Generation 13.8 KV
• Transmission 220KV / 132 KV

• Distribution High Tension 33KV / 11KV

Low Tension 400 V 3ph / 230 V 1pg
Equipments supplied by auxiliary.
Common supplies
• Lighting system
• Annunciators & indicators, alarms
• Ventilation system (supply fans, Exhaust
fans)
• AC system (compressures, blower fans)
• Battery charging system (220 V , 48 V)
• Drainage pumps
• Communication system
Turbine & Generator
• Instrumentation (metering)
• Protection relays
• Bearing oil pumps
• Air compressors
– (to operate governor equipment
– Turbine , break system)
• Cooling water pumps (stator coolers, bearing oil coolers)
• Bearing oil pumps
• Generator Heaters
General Layout Diagram
 Modes of operation
(1) From 220 KV bus through main
T/F1,2,3 and through HAD3,5, or 6
(to both ESS & Non-ess sides)
(2) Generators through HAD3,5 or 6 (to
both ESS & Non-ess sides)
(3) DG ( only to ESS side, can not
extend to Non-Ess side)
Mode 1

*Voltage : 220 KV bus voltage 13.8 KV 11 KV 400 V 3 ph

Mode 2

*Voltage : generator voltage 13.8 KV 11 KV 400 V 3 ph

Mode 3

* Voltage : through DG T/F 400 V step up to 11 KV 400 V 3 ph
