    This document provides an overview and introduction to IEEE P1827, a guide for the electrical and control design of hydroelectric water conveyance facilities. The guide describes design for systems like penstocks, valves, and gates. It is applicable to new designs and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. It provides guidance for site layout, power distribution, control, monitoring, and protection systems. The guide establishes a control hierarchy and recommends backup power to allow independent and emergency operation. It also discusses considerations for protection of gate mechanisms and emergency control systems.

    Why is IEEE P1827 essential?


    Why is this guide essential?
    • ‘This guide describes the electrical and control design of
    water conveyance facilities associated with hydroelectric
    projects including associated penstocks, valves, and gates.’
    • ‘This guide is applicable to design of new facilities and
    rehabilitation or replacement of existing facilities.’
    • ‘…provides a control hierarchy capable of standalone
    operation or interfacing with other systems.’
    • ‘…provides guidance in electrical and instrumentation work
    unique to water conveyance systems.’

    P1827 Major Clauses


    • General Considerations (environment and safety)
    • Site Electrical Layout and Access
    • Overview of Gates and Valves (types, operating mechanisms)
    • Electric Supply and Distribution (backup power)
    • Control, Monitoring, and Protection

    Scheduled for publishing Fall 2016. Content within this


    presentation is DRAFT.

    Fixed Wheel Gate Example


    Inexperienced contractor and
    oversight resulted in the below
    recommendations:
    • Add undervoltage (27)
    • Add accumulators to allow
    emergency closure without power
    (remove mechanical hanger
    latches)
    • Monitor bell alarm contacts on AC
    supply circuit breakers
    • Feed AC source from permanent
    emergency standby generator
    • Add leak detection pressure switch
    • Monitor pump motor overload
    Monitor encoder status (single
    feedback source)
    • Add backup position feedback
    (limit switches)
    • Main pump cutout required.

    Backup Power for Gate Operation


    Do you want to be physically on
    the dam during an emergency? P1827 Backup Power
    • Provide for flood control
    gates, emergency shutoff
    gates, and other critical
    equipment
    • Stored energy systems for
    hydraulic and pneumatic
    operated gates
    • Operable without power.
    7

    Emergency Control of a Flood Gate


    Typical local emergency controls include:
    • Emergency stop to halt gate device movement (e.g., to stop gate
    device in event of a locked motor or motor contactor issues).
    • Emergency bypass of a protection device (e.g., bypass a failed gate
    high limit switch if water is at an extreme high level).
    • Independent emergency control system (e.g., normal controls have
    failed).
    • Mechanically latched emergency close pushbutton for electrical
    actuation of emergency close solenoid(s). Other control operations
    should be blocked while emergency close is asserted.
    • Mechanically latched hand operated mechanism capable of closing
    the gate in an emergency without any control power source. The
    mechanism should be adequately guarded against inadvertent
    operation.
    8

    Emergency Control of a Flood Gate


    Emergency controls may override normal
    functions when:
    • Abnormal water level
    • Flow
    • Sever conditions
    Emergency controls may be manual or
    autormated.
    9

    Emergency Control Circuit Supervision


    • Loss of emergency close solenoid circuit
    continuity (e.g., by trickle current monitoring).
    • Emergency close circuit blocking due to
    Normal/Maintenance switch being in
    maintenance position.
    • Loss of continuity in cabling between intakes
    and remote trip devices in the powerhouse.
    • Loss of power to any of the DC circuits.
