ABB FOX Switch (AFS) Family for utility applications

Utility Communications

Driven by IEC61850 and other Ethernet based communi

cation protocols such as IEC 60870-5-104. switches have

found their way into utility networks. Critical applications

such as IEC61850 signals or SCADA data can be transmit

ted via Ethernet networks designed to be robust and reli

able. Green field developments are an ideal opportunity

to consider such solutions in substation and distribution

communication networks.

The AFS650 and AFS670 Family offers many features which

are required in the utility environments, including fast protec

tion schemes, redundant power supply and alarm contacts,

and enables the stepwise introduction of Smart Grid ap

plications, such as integration of renewable energy sources,

advanced distribution automation solutions and similar.

Hitachi Energy’s AFF670 and 675 provide four Gigabit Ethernet ports ensure speed

is never a problem, and support for optical connections including SFP cages, ST, & SC,

ensures that connections take full advantage of the available bandwidth.

The switch will take a low voltage, DC, supply from 9.6v upwards, but will happily run

from high-voltage DC or AC as available. It also supports a redundant supply to ensure

continued connectivity in the event of supply failure.

Features

• 19” managed switch

• Metal housing, ports on front or on rear (typical substation configuration)

• Up to 4 GbE ports (optical, electrical or combo ports)

• Up to 4 PoE ports (only with power supply type H/Z)

• Low voltage (9.6 – 60 VDC) or high voltage (48 – 320 VDC

• or 90 – 265 VAC) power supply

• Redundant power supply possible

• Spring clamps or connectors available

• Typical power consumption without PoE: 10 – 40 W

• Modular concept, 1 module for 2 ports needed, any combination possible (expect GbE & PoE); in total

12 slots

• High port density

• Up to 28 ports (electrical, optical or SFP cages)

• Huge variety on optical ports (e.g. SFP cages, SC, ST)

• MM and SM SFP’s in various versions available (MM, SM, single fibre)

Ethernet switches remove the uncertainty from packet networks, preventing packet

collision though network division and ensuring unimpeded message delivery.

The ASF670 and 675 go further than that in delivering power over Ethernet (PoE)

to four of the 28 ports available.

Key highlights

• 19” managed switch

• Metal housing, ports on front or on rear (typical substation configuration)

• Up to 4 GbE ports (optical, electrical or combo ports)

• Up to 4 PoE ports (only with power supply type H/Z)

State-of-the-art turbine control system

To achieve maximum availability and reliability,the turbine control makes use of a redundant,

fault – tolerant and fail-safe architecture with a master/slave configuration for closed loop

control and up to two-out of-three voting for turbine protection.

Competence in Mechanics and Hydraulics

The ambient conditions within gas turbines require highly demands to the surrounding

equipment. Therefore we supply our customers only with well proven devices improving 

the reli ability of the system.

Our solutions, whether electrical servodrive, low pressure hydraulic or highpressure hydraulic

with their own oil supply up to 200 bar can be integrated in almost all mechanical systems.

Integration as a major task in system configuration

• Multiple available ABB hardware platforms allows an optimized integration into existing

installations of the overall plant DCS (common modules, common tools, common op

erator station, common spare parts, …).

• ABB – ONE partner for all your needs, gives you the possibility that all interfaces, either

for the mechanics or electronics will be seamless integrated and fit together as one

– with no extra efforts for our customers.

ABB can offer the complete range of equip

ment for retrofit:

• installation of a new Egatrol® turbine control operating and monitoring system, incl.

automatic start up and shut down sequence

• substitute of old and obsolete control equipment by electronic speed governor of

fering fully automatic operation of the turbine

• substitute of mechanical /hydraulic protection system

• implementation of electronic governorprotection, temperature-, load & frequency control

• implementation of state of the art machinery supervision system with diagnostic capabilities

• implementation of dual fuel capabilities

• renewing of electrical devices like Generator Protection, AVR, Synchronizing device etc.

• installation of a unit control system

• complete services: site assessment including feasibility studies, design, engineering,

installation and commissioning.

With the Egatrol®  gas turbine control & protection system ABB has developed a modular

package that can be combined to any tailormade solution reflecting the status of the current

equipment and the required performance of the gas turbine:

• handle peak load demands

• handle primary frequency control

• fast loading / unloading transients

• island operation

• minimized start-up time

Increase profitability

Considering the advantages that can be obtained by retrofitting there is no need to wait

until the first trouble occurs by obsolete equipment:

• meet requirements for UCTE-market

• produce power for the spot market

• sell your power for the best price

• reduce maintenance efforts

• enhance reliability and availability

• lengthen the lifetime cycle of the turbine to a maximum

• enable the efficient and smooth operation of the gas turbine at different operating conditions

• avoid major and expensive damages of the system Reducing the mechanical work on a minimum is

not only a matter of  investment costs.

The main advantage of this solution will be short time for the installation and return on investment (ROI).

In this way our customers have the opportunity to deliver energy at higher quality and less costs

in an surprisingly short time frame.

Based on experience

ABB can draw on more than 40 years of experience in developing, manufacturing, sup plying

and managing control systems for turbines and power plants with more than 1200 turbine

control installations worldwide.

A changing market

In a rapidly changing market driven by de-regulation and

globalization, more and more customers are looking into

cost-efficient upgrades increasing the lifecycle of their

capital equipment and meeting more challenging

requirements towards performance, maneuverability and

availability.

ABB´s solution, our customer´s benefit

The Egatrol® concept for retrofitting power plants is a tai

lor-made solution, utilizing electrical and mechanical

components as well as products of the

ABB control system. It ensures a state-of-the-art turbine

control system well integrated into the overall plant.

Situation

Due to the phased out of I&C equipment or the

wear of mechanical parts, older combustion

turbine sets often show a lack of reliability and

availability, whilst the major turbine and

generator components are still offering a

substantial remaining lifetime. Often obsolete

old control and protection system don´t allow to

fulfil the high demands on quality and proper

operation within the power network. Therefore

old combustion turbines run on base load for low

prices, but with over proportional high costs for

operation and maintenance.
