Fast Bus Transfer System (BTS)

The document discusses a Fast Bus Transfer System (BTS) that allows for the quick transfer of a motor bus from one power source to another in order to maintain continuity of critical industrial processes. It can perform either closed or open transition transfers. Closed transition involves a brief paralleling of the sources, while open transition transfers are done without paralleling using methods like fast transfer, in-phase transfer, residual voltage transfer, or fixed time transfer. Transfers can be initiated manually or automatically through protection signals, with the goal of minimizing losses during unavoidable contingencies.

FAST BUS TRANSFER SYSTEM

(BTS)
FAST BUS TRANSFER SCHEME - ?
• A Fast Bus Transfer is the process of disconnecting a motor bus from the
present source of power and effectively reconnecting to an alternate source
of power within the minimum possible time to guarantee process continuity.
• A fast and successful bus transfer enables continuity of critical processes,
thereby enabling the plant or industry to minimize losses due to unavoidable
transfers or contingencies.
• Such systems find immense use and importance in several critical situations
in continuous process industries (petrochemical plants, chemical plants,
paper mills, textile mills, etc.) and fossil-fuel-fired as well as combined cycle
gas turbine plants & nuclear power generation stations.
• As you can see in above figure , suppose Source #1 fails and I/C #1 trips then BTS
will sense the I/C #1 trip and give close command to TIE breaker and transfer
BUS I load to SOURCE II and maintain process continuity.
METHODS OF MOTOR BUS TRANSFER
• 1. Closed Transition: This is a Make-before-Break transfer operation with momentary paralleling

of both the sources referred also as ‘Hot Parallel Transfer’.

• 2. Open Transition: This is a Break-before-Make transfer operation without paralleling of both

the sources. There are four methods by which the open transition Motor Bus Transfer is

executed.

a. Fast Transfer

b. In-Phase Transfer

c. Residual Voltage Transfer

d. Fixed Time Transfer


1. CLOSED TRANSITION
2. OPEN TRANSITION
Bus Transfer Initiation
Manual Transfer
• Manual transfer is to be initiated from a local human machine
interface (HMI), from a control/status Input or through
remote serial communications.
• Manual Transfer provides Hot parallel transfer or a
combination of Open transition Fast, In-phase and Residual
voltage transfer.
• The Manual Transfer will be blocked when any
Lockout/Blocking condition occurs.
• The High Speed Motor Bus Transfer System will not respond
to any transfer command while in Lockout/Blocking condition.
Automatic Transfer
• Automatic Transfer can be initiated by a protection signal viz.
trip signal (86) or an under voltage function (27) or triggered
by a sudden loss of motor bus supply voltage.
• Auto Transfer provides Open transition Fast, In-phase,
Residual voltage and Fixed time transfers.
• The Auto Transfer will be blocked when any
Lockout/Blocking condition occurs.
• The High Speed Motor Bus Transfer System will not respond
to any transfer command while in Lockout/Blocking
condition.
