DSEP100 used in hydropower application

DSEP100 Mains Decoupling Relays

The DSEP100 Mains  Decoupling Relay was chosen for this application because of it’s extensive protection capabilities, reliability and safety features.  These include  R.O.C.O.F and vector shift, sequencing voltage protections for short and long term disturbances, and security access to the module settings to avoid accidental or unauthorised changes.

The DSEP100 also logs wide ranging historical information about system status, events and alarms to help with diagnosis and maintenance.  Configuration of the settings is done via the user-friendly DSE Configuration Suite PC software and offers flexibility of the product to suit a wide range of application demands.

The DSEP100 is capable of working alongside other renewable energy equipment including photovoltaic and wind turbines etc.

Old decommissioned water wheels in remote locations through the UK in Ambleside, Blencathra and Langdale have been recently refurbished and brought back into use as sophisticated hydropower turbines which are now working in parallel with the grid, supplementing the local electricity supply.

The DSEP100 monitors the mains supply and in the event of a mains power failure, will automatically disconnect the hydropower turbine immediately for safety reasons,  to avoid power being supplied to an  ‘islanded’ grid.  UK regulations require that decoupling devices meet strict safety standards in order for it to be used in grid connected applications.  The DSEP100 meet UK and International requirements for G59/3, G83,3, C10/11, CEO 10-21 making it suitable for use in many countries.
