Cable Testing – Is Resonance Testing The Way Forward For Offshore Wind?

• Reproduced with kind permission of Calum Galvin from Mane - Worldwide Recruitment Specialists

Offshore Wind

Cable Testing of Medium Voltage Power Systems & Accessories 

Imagine this: Right before the winter season, something goes wrong at an offshore wind farm. There’s a fault somewhere in one of the long submarine cables that carry the generated electricity to land.

But with storms raging and the testing season almost over, nobody can get out there to run a high-voltage test on the cables. There’ll be no way to find the fault until at least April – which means no electricity. The turbines spin all winter for nothing, while the power company bleeds money.

Conventional cable testing systems aren’t designed to be used in the middle of the ocean.

Salty air, rain, snow, and stormy seas make it impossible to operate them reliably. And you can’t exactly pitch a tent over them. Then there’s the difficulty of getting people to the site to carry out the tests. It’s only possible for a few months of the year, and even then it takes considerable advance planning.

This means offshore wind companies have resigned themselves to the use of SOAK tests (a 24-hour test with only nominal voltage) to test cables. But with cables getting longer, and often being made without joints, these tests are becoming increasingly inadequate. Practical and weatherproof testing systems for offshore cables are urgently needed.

Offshore wind is the leading form of renewable energy, and wind turbines are constantly increasing in power. For new wind farms, the operating voltage of the submarine cables that deliver the electricity is being increased to 66kV.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has therefore greenlit a second form of testing for operating voltages over 36kV: resonance testing.

Rather than using nominal voltage like the SOAK test, resonance testing actually reproduces the load on a cable operating normally at normal voltage and grid frequency. The test is carried out using a resonant circuit made up of a test inductor (inductance) and a test cable (capacitance). The test system supply has a variable frequency which is automatically set to the test circuit’s resonance frequency, minimising the feed-in power needed.

Resonance testing can also reliably detect installation errors – which are the cause of over half of all problems on offshore wind farms.

The resonance testing system offers wind farm operators, testing service providers, cable manufacturers the flexibility they need to keep complex offshore wind infrastructure functioning continuously, all year round.

And if something does go wrong just before the end of the testing season, resonance testing will enable them to quickly test the systems, fix the problem and keep the winter wind generating power.

Insight

by Ross Piercey | Asset Manager at JDR Cable Systems

Insurers want confidence in power systems – the weakest part of the inter array system is the cable accessories. The resource pool for Competent Jointers is shrinking due to high demand meaning quality of Jointing & Terminating workmanship can fluctuate.

The conditions they are fitted in are not that of labs.

Given over 50% of failures are cable accessories, a PD monitored, resonance test at power frequency does give early indications of potentially critical issues with cable preparation.

Furthermore, understanding PD inception voltages when testing at power frequency gives a much better indication of a “hard working” array cable. Resonance may practically be an issue, but we are an industry and business who thrives on a challenge. The Carbon Trust and others are looking at testing options and this issue needs addressing at an industry level, the cost of failure, dictates we must.

VLF /DAC are great tools but some feel they do not excite failure modes enough to be picked up but PD analysis is helping this, but offshore this is not without its issues. JDR are already bidding resonance for numerous clients, before the year is out we will resonance test with a state of the art purpose built system offshore, watch this space.

Global energy companies depend on high performance subsea umbilicals and cables to provide power and control in the world’s harshest offshore environments. JDR is a leading provider of technology connecting the global offshore energy industry.

Battery Energy Storage Systems – Power Arbitrage

Part 1: Introduction

Battery Energy Storage Schemes are very versatile plants and can be used for a number of different services, depending on the plant design and aims; this can include services such as power arbitrage, voltage control, and the new Dynamic Containment (DC) service which replaces the old Enhanced Frequency Response (EFR) service. BESS units can also be used as a power balancing service, to meet shortfalls in power, to limit disturbances from the grid during transient switching events, where a plant has large dynamics loads, such as big motors and generators that switch in and out frequently.

At SPE we have found that many developers are keen to add battery storage systems into their existing projects, but are often unsure exactly how the battery will be used. This leads to the dilemma of trying to design a system that will be flexible enough to allow future revenue streams, without pre-investing for expensive system upgrades.

This first post gives a simple guide to explain the basic ideas of how a BESS works and looks at their role in providing power arbitrage.

Part 2: BESS Basics  

Before we get into the specifics, it is worth covering a couple of basic ideas of what a BESS is and how it operates. First off, the term BESS is generic name for an electronic Power Conversion System (PCS) i.e. inverter, coupled with some form of battery. From the DNO and TSO perspective the battery doesn’t actually matter too much, and it is the PCS that is really of interest.

The battery can be anything from old car batteries, to modern li-Ion batteries, or more advanced cryo-batteries or flow batteries.

The battery type just determines how much energy can be stored and how quickly it can be converted from chemical form to electrical energy.

Second, a simple concept that is often misunderstood is the difference between power (MW) and energy (MWh). A BESS rated at 1MW & 1MWh can provide 1MW for an hour, of 0.5MW for 2 hours, or 0.25MW for 4 hours etc. but it can never provide more than 1MW, because this limit is imposed by the inverter rating and system design. From the DNO perspective the amount of MW is important, as this governs the main power flows in their network.

This leads to our third point, which is that of power swings. Simple MW flow is easy to understand from DNOs heat maps, but the ability of the DNO network to cope with large power swings is much less clear and usually needs some analysis.

For power swing, we are referring to the speed at which the BESS needs to change from import to export and vice versa. For power arbitrage this is very slow and doesn’t cause a significant power swing, but for fast response services like DC, the power swing can be significant with a 50MW BESS, potentially going from full export to full import in 1s, giving a 100MW/s power swing – which would challenge the most robust of power systems. This is why the G99 forms ask for the ramp rate of the BESS. This is bit of a tricky area, and often a major constraint, which we will go through in another post.

Our third point is that a BESS can provide reactive power as well as providing active power, and importantly it can provide reactive power at the same time, which is useful for regulating voltage on the DNO network. Provided the BESS is correctly sized, it could easily provide 20MW of active power and 20MVAr of reactive power.

So, when preparing a grid application for a BESS it is important to understand what services we are hoping to provide to the system and what the local limitations are.

The DNO or National Grid, typically want to know the MW capacity of the site, and the worst-case power swing as well as any reactive power flow capability, as these are what will affect their system behaviour and responses, but are not usually that interested in the MWh rating of the system.

Part 3: Power Arbitrage

The power arbitrage service of a BESS is technically and commercially the simplest concept for battery storage. It is based on the simple premise of absorbing energy when it power is cheap, such as at night or when there is excess power from CHP or solar array, and then discharging the battery during peak load times. The benefit of such an approach allows what is known as load demand curve shifting, where the excess power from renewables (often solar) is stored at high production times / low demand then discharged at low production times / peak demand.

This has two main benefits. Firstly, and depending on the profile, high tariff electricity costs can be avoided, and a flat charging profile created. Secondly, it means that the size of the grid connection can potentially be reduced, although one needs to consider what happens if there was a shortfall in the surplus power i.e. a very cloud day, if the surplus comes from a Solar PV array.

The revenue streams here are obviously limited to the cost of energy creation and storage at cheap times, compared to the cost of energy during high tariff times, and is based on the concept of peak shifting the energy demand, so that it is balanced more evenly across a 24 hour (or whatever other timeframe). In the authors opinion, this is the ‘holy grail’ of most BESS units and The System Operators (TSO), an electrical system demand that is predictable, and therefore easy to plant and dispatch. In practice to achieve, this the BESS has to be cheap and robust enough to store and dispatch energy as needed, and when is most economic to do so.

Figure 1: Diagram Showing Power Arbitrage Concept

With power arbitrage, the charge and discharge of the BESS is usually very slow, and this will not overly stress the host electrical system or the DNO system. From a design point of view, compliance with the ENA P28/2 standard is not usually an issue, but a large battery systems can contribute significantly to the system harmonics and voltage flicker due to the power electronics operation, which usually needs some careful analysis to ensure compliance.

A less obvious use of a BESS is using it as a power store to support starting and operation of a heavy consumer of power. Let us say for example you have a heavy industrial plant that you want to add a new 10MW motor to. Starting these motors is always a complex process, but fortunately ones that a Variable Speed Drive solves easily, but what happens if your grid supply to the DNO is maxed out and an upgrade will cost millions. Simple(ish), you install a BESS and charge it up overnight, then discharge it when the new drive needs to operate. The DNO does not see any additional power demand and no network upgrades are needed.

Part 4: Applications – Power Arbitrage & Balancing in a Water Treatment Works (WTW)

For an application example, let us consider an example of a Water Treatment Works (WTW) that is hoping to achieve carbon neutral status within the next 5 years. WTW sites are interesting ones to study, as they tend to have a mix of large varying loads such as pumps and compressors, and plenty of space to install Solar PV and a BESS and carry out the tie-ins between the new and existing plant. It should be noted that for our analysis, the site type doesn’t really matter as the principles are the same.

So how does power arbitrage work with a battery storage system work? This is best understood with an example. First, we start with the basic premise, that the plant owner has assessed their DNO connection and there are no problem and second that site has enough space to install a fair sized Solar PV array of 5-10 MW. Next, we look at the site power consumption, this is usually very dynamic, but lets pretend for a moment, that we can simplify things a bit and say they have an average steady state consumption during the day of 2MW, and at night-time it drops to 0.5MW.  Our basic specification might look something like this:

• Space to install 5-10MW Solar PV array.
• Available HV point for tie-in.
• Desire to achieve full carbon neutral operation.
• Site load profile is simplified to a consistent value of:
  • 2 MW approximately constant load between 8am and 7pm (11 hours) = 22MWh
  • 5MW constant load between 7pm and 8 am (13 hours) = 6.5MWh

Simple deployment of a solar PV scheme would certainly help the asset owner, as the power produced by the Solar PV would offset the power consumption of the WTW by a significant margin. However, the problem would be that either the Solar PV would be oversized and during peak daylight hours would be exporting power, or it would be undersized, and not fully offset the power demand, and in both cases the night-time power demand would still be needed.  This presents a dilemma for the asset owner, as neither scheme meets the objectives, but by adding a BESS into the mix, we can possible meet all the target goals.

Next, let’s do bit of basic maths to see what works, to calculate average any usage, energy storage capacity and so on. This can be done in a number of ways, depending on the level of sophistication desired, at the most basic, a simple Excel and graphical model can be generated of the load and generation profiles, but it is relatively easy to create more advanced mathematical models of the system, using various integration methods and piecewise linear functions, or directly in simulation package like Matlab. For the purpose of this post we will go for an easy Excel approach.

In the below diagram we can see a simplified power generation diagram shown in block format for the power generation (green), power demand (red), excess PV discharged into the BESS (blue) and power discharged from the BESS (yellow).

Figure 2: Simplified Block Diagram Showing Power Arbitrage Calculation

From the above plots we can see that we get a pretty good power balance, with around 2MWh spare capacity from the Solar PV system, which we can account for with intermittency, shading and other losses. We do can do some more simple maths and we can roughly dimension our PCS and battery size, as follows:

• The solar PV is sized to give a peak output of 5MWac.
• The battery PCS size has to be equal to the largest difference between the plant demand and the solar output. This occurs in the evening when power demand is still high and the solar output has fallen to near zero . I.e so the delta is 1 MW.
• We can see from the above that we need the BESS to be able to deliver 10.5 MWh.
• Our final design is therefore a 5 MW PV array coupled with a 1 MW BESS with a 10.5 MWh energy store.

Part 5: Summary – Power Arbitrage

The above is obviously very simple analysis, representing a simple Solar PV curve, and not accounting for probability and differing irradiance levels during the day and seasons. Likewise, the load is likely to significantly more variable than the simplified model shown. The thing to remember here, is that the post just shows a simple model for demonstration purposes, to show a principle of how a system could be made to work.

In practice, it is usually not economic to design a Solar PV and BESS system that achieves full carbon offset, because of the inherent probabilistic values in the irradiance levels. However, with some careful analysis and a bit of time, a Solar PV and BESS can go along way to meeting this target. The above example is for a WTW but would work just as well, for a large factory, or country estate. Of course, adding in a BESS to a brownfield site is never quite that simple, so it is usually necessary to carry out some surveys, and identify if the equipment is suitably rated for the increased duty and then identify the necessary tie in location.

It should also of course be noted that we have considered Solar PV and a battery storage solution here, but the principle applies to any intermittent renewable, such as wind power or wave power and any other storage technology, such as hydro, compressed air / gas etc. One final thing we can do with the new system, is to run the Solar and BESS at a slightly lagging power factor (producing MVArs) so the site is held at unity PF and even greater savings are achieved.  If you would like to discuss your project requirements, please get in touch.

Earth bars are an integral part of an Electrical oBuilding Services or Substation technical specification for earthing and bonding; they provide a convenient common earth point for the infrastructure. It is critical copper earth bars provide long lasting, high quality earthing capable of enduring any potential dangerous fault currents.

Main earthing bars provide a recognised earth connection/ reference point and allow the local substation earth resistance to be measured using a clamp meter.

Thorne & Derrick and AN Wallis are aware of the crucial role of an Earth Bar which is why they manufacture high quality, affordable earth bars that are designed and tested to all relevant standards – manufactured from hard drawn copper bar to BS EN 13601 and tested to BS EN 62561-1 Class H.

• Earthing bars can be tinned and bases powder coated to improve corrosion resistance
• Bars are pre-drilled with cable connection holes with optional threads for installation ease
• Manufactured from highest conductivity and quality copper to British Standards
• Full range of standard, single and twin link types for LV, MV & HV switchroom/substations
• Customised to suit the earthing requirements of your project on short lead times
