Functional Description
IS200EBRGH2AAA is an Exciter Bridge Interface Board developed by GE. It is a part of EX2100e excitation system. The board acts as an interface between the control system and the power bridge within the excitation system. It helps in managing the power flow and ensuring precise control of the excitation current supplied to the generator. This board typically handles the conversion of analog signals to digital signals and vice versa. This conversion is crucial for accurate monitoring and control of the excitation system parameters.
Features
- Signal Processing: It processes various signals, including feedback signals from the generator and control signals from the system, to ensure stable and efficient operation of the generator.
- Protection Functions: The board is also involved in implementing protection features to safeguard the generator and excitation system from faults or abnormal operating conditions.
- Maintenance and Diagnostics: Fault Detection and Troubleshooting: Includes features for diagnosing and troubleshooting faults within the excitation system, aiding maintenance personnel in ensuring continuous and reliable operation.
System Architecture
- System-on-Chip (SOC) Architecture: The SOC design integrates multiple functions into a single chip, enhancing the processing power and efficiency of the controller. This integration allows for more compact and reliable hardware, reducing the overall footprint and complexity of the system.
- Secure Ethernet-Based Communications: The controller uses secure Ethernet communications to interface with operator workstations (Human-Machine Interfaces, HMIs) or other GE Mark VIe controllers. This ensures robust and secure data transfer within the control system.
- Support for Multiple Communication Protocols: In addition to Ethernet, the UCSB controller supports other communication protocols such as Modbus (both Serial and TCP/IP). This versatility allows it to communicate seamlessly with non-GE Distributed Control Systems (DCS), ensuring compatibility and integration within diverse operational environments.
- Power Conversion and Modulation: The EX2100e AVR utilizes advanced power converters rated at 35A and 120A. These converters employ a DC link and Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) to modulate the AVR output. This modulation is crucial for achieving precise control of the generator's output voltage and reactive power. The design ensures that the AVR can adapt to a variety of input sources, maintaining stable and efficient generator operation.
- Input Sources for the EX2100e AVR: The AVR can accept input from multiple sources, enhancing its flexibility and applicability across different power generation setups. These sources include:
- Single- or Three-Phase Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG): PMGs are often used in power generation systems due to their reliability and efficiency in providing a stable AC supply for the AVR.
- Single- or Three-Phase AC Source with Power Potential Transformer: This configuration uses a potential transformer to step down high voltage AC to a manageable level for the AVR.
- 125V DC or 250V DC Battery: The ability to utilize DC battery sources provides an alternative power supply, ensuring continuous AVR operation even during AC supply interruptions.
- Redundancy and Reliability: The EX2100e AVR is designed to maximize system reliability through the support of redundant AC and DC power inputs. This redundancy ensures that the system can maintain operation even if one power source fails, thereby enhancing the overall reliability and availability of the power generation system.
