Creating an island power system by using the Active Infeed
The standard version of the SINAMICS Active Infeed has been developed as an Infeed component for SINAMICS
drive systems and a three-phase supply system is therefore an essential prerequisite for its use. Using the Voltage
Sensing Module VSM integrated in the Active Interface Module AIM, the Active Infeed senses the magnitude and
phase angle of the line voltage, synchronizes itself with the connected line voltage and frequency and, supported by
a secondary current controller, regulates the DC link voltage for the connected drive configuration to a constant value
which is parameterizable.
Special versions of the Active Infeed are available for applications in which an island power system is to be
generated by means of a self-commutated, line-side converter. Examples of such applications are:
· Shaft generators on ships with Active Infeed for generating an on-board power supply system
· Solar power installations with Active Infeed for generating local island power supply systems.
The versions of the Active Infeed required for this purpose have modified power unit hardware (CIM module with
additional processor) as compared to the standard version, and require supplementary firmware modules (which are
subject to license) in addition to the standard firmware. The power rating range of these special versions is limited.
Further information is available on request.
Note about the pulse frequency of the Active Infeed
By contrast with SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules for which the pulse frequency can be adjusted within relatively wide
limits, the pulse frequency for SINAMICS S120 Active Line Modules is largely predefined as it needs to be set in a
fixed ratio to the resonant frequency of the Clean Power Filter in the associated Active Interface Module.
For SINAMICS S120 Active Line Modules in Chassis and Cabinet Modules formats, the current controller clock
cycle and the pulse frequency are set at the factory to the values given in the table:
