Sizing of the Generator Transformer

As per SEC-EOAs specification requirement (refer Section 4.3.1.2), the
Generator Transformer must be sized to cater to the following
conditions:

3.5.1 As per Cl.No.9.01 (3) (page 336 of 336) of SEC-EOAs specification

PTS-1022, the Generator Transformer MVA rating shall be decided by
the Bidder on the basis of following criteria.
i)
ii)

iii)

Generator Maximum Continuous Rating.

Unit Capacity addition due to installation of air intake
cooling system in future. The air intake cooling system will be
operative in summer.
Load power factor within the boundary of Generators
Reactive Capability.

3.5.2 SEC-EOA clarified vide A.114 (page 5 of 11), Clarification No.05 dated
28th December 2003 that the inlet cooling system requirement is limited
to the provision in the inlet air ducting and it has no impact on the
sizing of the Generator Transformer, 132kV Cables etc.
3.5.3 Further, SEC-EOA clarified vide A.119 (page 8 of 11), Clarification
No.05 dated 28th December 2003 that, in future, the Gas Turbine
Power output enhancement by intake air cooling will be limited to
match with the maximum Generator rating at 50 Deg C. Therefore,
there is no need to consider any reserve capacity to be in built into the
sizing of Generator and downstream electrical equipment.
3.6

Sizing Criteria & Calculation

3.6.1 At site conditions, the Generator Transformer must be capable of

evacuating the Gross Power output of the Gas Turbine Generator at
reference ambient temperature.

As mentioned in Cl.No. 3.1 above,

The guaranteed Gross Power output of GTG Unit
at 50C under site conditions.

60.16MW

3.6.2 The Generator Transformer shall match with the Maximum Continuous
Rating of Generator at 50 Deg C maximum site ambient conditions.
As mentioned in Cl.3.1 above,
The Maximum Continuous Rating of
=
Generator at 50 Deg C site ambient conditions.
=

64.50MW
80.625MVA
at 0.8 P.F

3.6.3 The ONAF rating of the Generator Transformer is matched with the
Maximum Continuous Rating of Generator at ambient temperature of
50C since as per IEC 76-2, part-2, Clause 3, page 9 of IEC76-2, the
Power figure for the alternative with the highest cooling capacity is the
rated power of the transformer.
Rating of Generator Transformer
=
at 50 Deg C site maximum ambient conditions
and at ONAF cooling.

81MVA

3.6.4 The ONAN rating of the Generator Transformer is selected to be 80%

of ONAF rating of Transformer. This rating has been considered based
on Cl.No.3.03 (1) of PTS-1022 (page 37 of 336) wherein the Generator
Transformer rating was specified as 40/50MVA for ONAN/ONAF
conditions.
Rating of Generator Transformer
=
at 50 Deg C site maximum ambient conditions
and at ONAN cooling.
=

80% of 81MVA

64.8MVA

3.6.5 As per Table-1 of IEC-60076 part-5, the minimum value of Impedance

for Transformers with two separate windings having a rated power of
63.001MVA to 100MVA shall be 12.5%.

CONCLUSION
Summarising the above, the sizing of the Generator Transformer results in
the data listed below.
Rated Power (ONAN/ONAF)

65/81 MVA.

50C Maximum Ambient at site

conditions.

No load Voltage Ratio (HV/MV)

The above rating as obtained in Section 3.0 is considered adequate &

the following specific confirmations will be obtained from the
GeneratorTransformer supplier:
i)

The ratings indicated above are the final ratings as required at

site conditions at 50 Deg C Maximum ambient temperature.

ii)

The Generator Transformer supplier shall consider the

necessary correction factors as per IEC to take into account the
effect of altitude, ambient pressure, relative humidity and
ambient temperature while designing the transformer.
iv)

The Generator Transformer supplier shall confirm that the

Transformer capability curve will be always equal to or
greater than the Gas Turbine Generator capability curve
for the entire range of operating ambient temperature.
