Introduction

Guides scope of application

Hypermarket : any building designed to receive customers, with the ultimate purpose of selling equipment and services to individuals and professionals ground sales surface: from 5 000 m2 to 12 000 m2 with car park 3 000 to 5 000 food product references 20 000 to 30 000 non food product references. The presence and dimension of a food section has a significant impact on the buildings electrical distribution needs.

Organisation geared towards sales

Hypermarkets can be found all over the world. Each hypermarket has its own concepts. There is nevertheless a standard model comprising five main zones : sales surface laboratories or workshops checkouts offices storage and delivery areas.

Schneider Electric - Major retail stores : Solution guide

The needs of a hypermarket Guarantee ongoing sales This can be translated as the need for each utility to operate continuously. Several examples : Utilities Maximum power cut duration < 0.1 sec. 15 min. 10 to 30 sec. 1 hour Comments

Checkouts Refrigeration Background lighting HVAC

Cost cutting
Owing to the small margins of this sector, much attention must be paid to investment and operating costs. For a fast return on the initial investment, it is necessary to ensure : highly disciplined management of store operating costs reliable management of the cold chain (to minimise loss).

The structure of a hypermarket The sales surface is divided into 5 sectors : fresh produce household appliances cleaning products hardware clothing. The laboratories or workshops are areas where products are made or prepared for sale : bakery and pastry shop butchers fishmongers catering and takeaway foods. Some workshops are located in the sales area : cheese section and restaurant. The geographic breakdown of loads in the store is standard for each store name and concept. The reserve is divided up by type of product to be stored : food : fresh, dry, refrigerated, frozen products. other products : clothing, hardware, white and brown products, furniture.

Analysis criteria for developing a dedicated solution Reduction in investment costs target reduction : - 20 % scope of action : - simplify electrical distribution architecture - significantly cut back on installation costs - decrease surfaces occupied by plant rooms - make costs transparent, broaden competition. Simplify on-site assembly and implementation significantly cut back on wiring and connections use factory-built and standard connection solutions. Reduction in operating costs simple system (Transparent BuildingTM) affording real energy savings (lighting, HVAC, electricity contract). Continuity of supply distribution architecture considerably increasing continuity of supply and facilitating maintenance.

Mastering general electrical distribution

Needs Have high quality for much less. Make sure there is a good connection to the distribution network. Protect against and clear faults to minimise disturbance to the stores business. Optimise the energy bill by shedding and monitoring loads.

Electrical energy needs The total energy need varies according to the country. It mainly depends on : the surface of the sales area (dominant parameter) the choice of energy for heating/air conditioning the power required for food cold production the type of supply to bakery/pastry shop ovens (electrical or gas). According to needs, the installed power P may vary from 1 600 kVA minimum to 3 200 kVA for a surface of 12 000 m2 with maximum equipment. The power is generally supplied by : 1 MV incoming feeder, 2 MV/LV transformers 1 or 2 back-up Gensets 2 UPS. This solution ensures operating continuity in case of a problem on the energy distribution network as well as management of the electricity contract. The generator set power depends mainly on the quality of local energy. If the quality is good (blackout of around several minutes a year), a P/2 Gensets is sufficient. If not, two P/2 Gensets are installed. Cases where significant back-up power is required for electricity contract management reasons are rare and should remain so. With the liberalisation of the energy market, the quality of energy has improved and costs have gone down.

Supply via the MV

double feeder :

distribution network Depending on the structure of the MV network, the main supply layouts are : single feeder (radial network) : the substation is fed via an incoming cubicle and overall protection is provided by a fuse-switch or circuit-breaker

the substation is fed by two underground cables, by two incoming feeders in automatic transfer mode. Overall protection is provided either by a fuse-switch or circuit-breaker open ring: the substation supply is inserted in this line

in series. Overall protection is provided by a fuse-switch or circuit-breaker MV metering cubicle to house voltage sensors transformer protection is provided by a fuse-switch or circuit-breaker.

The Power

Distribution Satellites : PDS1 and PDS2 Each PDS transmits 50% of the total store power. The critical

loads (cold, lighting, UPS) are fed by the 2 PDS at the same time. Non-critical loads are fed by one or other of the PDS.

Decentralised electrical distribution This uses two PDS (Power Distribution Satellites) and busbar trunking systems for power and lighting distribution. Near each power use centre (lab, butchers, bakery, reserve, etc.), there are subdistribution cubicles and enclosures. These are directly connected to the nearest busbar trunking system. The biggest loads located in the immediate vicinity of the PDS are directly connected to them via a cable link.

Reminder of conventional architecture In conventional architecture, loads are fed by the main low voltage switchboard via the subdistribution cubicles. All the energy travels via the cables feeding the subdistribution cubicles from the main low voltage switchboard. The electrical supply functions (main low voltage switchboard) and control functions (via circuit-breakers and contactors), and the main subdistribution cubicles are grouped in the electrical equipment room. This means kilometres and kilometres of cable, considerable time to install, a highly complex system and supply that is sensitive to common mode failures.

Mastering sales area lighting

The role of lighting

Besides its purely functional role, lighting has to : make customers feel comfortable ensure the safety of persons. Economic requirement : be managed on a time basis to provide energy savings.

Standard technical needs, different commercial needs Implement the stores commercial policy The basis of the lighting policy of a store is the following : background lighting emphasis lighting service lighting energy management. Ensure the safety of persons indicate and mark prevent people from panicking if there is a power failure avoid maintenance at a height. Minimise operating costs lighting accounts for up to 30 % of the electrical energy used areas with dimmed lighting when there are no customers (maintenance, loading, stock-taking) the lighting load CANNOT be shed but it is adjustable.

Emergency lighting according to local regulations.

Schneider Electric - Major retail stores : Solution guide

Background lighting : provided by parallel lighting lines (trollers) throughout the whole length of the store.

Emphasis lighting : provided by sodium vapour or halogen lamp supports (fresh produce area) products made to stand out using halogen spots (70 W).

Emergency lighting : according to local standards. Service lighting : provided by background lighting set at 25 %.

Zoning : possibility of lighting 1 to 4 areas separately each area can have a different illumination level. Illumination level : emphasis : 0 100 % background : 0 25 50 100 %.

Technical bases
Hardware, Tableware, PCS, TV, Hi-Fi

Lighting lines : copper 1.5 mm2 five-wire cabling strip made up of 3 metre components (2 x 58 W tubes) fed by electronic ballast using 108 W.

Emphasis lighting : by lighting supports.

Lighting lines (trollers) for high comfort illumination (800 to 1 200 lux at ground level). Service lighting (200 lux).

Schneider Electric - Major retail stores : Solution guide

15

Illumination level control : 0, 25, 50, 100 % Illumination levels

100 % : for total lighting

50 % : for lighting 1 strip out of 2 for each line (i.e. one tube out of 2, in a continuous line)

25 % : by lighting one strip out of 2 for one line out of 2

To use the power channelled in the lighting Canalis as best as possible and split the load over the 3 phases : half of the lighting lines connected to a lighting Canalis are fed by one phase (L1) the other half are fed equally by the two other phases (L2 and L3). To balance out the entire lighting over the three phases, a phase rotation is performed in the lighting Canalis supply. Each lighting line is protected (against overloads and short circuits) by fuses in the branch connectors on the lighting busbar trunking system. Each lighting busbar trunking system is protected (against overloads and short circuits) by a circuit-breaker (40 A C60, C curve) at the incoming end. The NS 160 circuit-breaker at the incoming end of the lighting enclosure ensures selectivity with the 40 A C60 circuit-breaker and isolation (including the neutral) for maintenance operations (servicing, repairs, etc.). A dedicated outgoing feeder supplies the emphasis lighting. By mean of trollers cabling and lighting control modification, the solution allows other illumination level like : 0, 33, 66, 100 %.

24

Schneider Electric - Major retail stores : Solution guide

General principles There are two types of machines used in large stores for air conditioning and heating: rooftops (RT) and Air Handling Units (AHU). Standard rooftop solution This comprises compact and autonomous units placed on the roof. The rooftop only needs electricity supply to operate. Installation is thus very simple. The standard power requirement is 60 KW per rooftop. 6 to 10 rooftops are needed for a store of 8 000 m2. These loads can be easily shed using the ON/OFF functions or by widening the regulation window.

Each application can be installed, maintained and supervised independently of the others. Architectures with central controller are better suited to smaller size buildings. Features of the Schneider Electric solution Based on high modularity One separate module for each function. The modules integrate all the control, monitoring and local archiving functions as well as a Web server for equipment diagnosis and supervision via on-board HTML Web pages. Hypermarket Transparent BuildingTM modules are the following : energy saving lighting and alarm management HVAC management (rooftops, AHU) food reach-in refrigerator management area management (laboratories, reserves, etc.)

Example of rooftop control (there may be between 6 and 10 rooftops in an 8 000 m2 hypermarket)

Control unit low voltage distribution control, switchgear with built-in automatic control

Power monitoring unit multi-functional measurement, compact, easy of view, easy to operate, modular and scalable

Based on world-wide standards : TCP/IP Ethernet, HTTP servers . . . one Web server per module/application. E.g. one server per PDS, one server for the lighting function one fixed IP address per Web server. No specific configuration information on the function being controlled and monitored is contained in HTML pages on-board in each server direct access to information, application by application, from any PC connected to the building LAN, via a standard Web browser (Internet Explorer . . .) user can customise Web pages using standard tools available on all PCs (Front Page) these pages will either be permanent in the equipment (factory programming), or programmable and downloadable by the system integrator using standard (Front Page) tools data available via Internet (ad hoc gateway needed on store LAN), for example, to centralise information about the energy expenditure of several stores.

Advantages of the Schneider Electric solution for large stores Accessible by any non-specialist system integrator the use of universal tools, protocol and mechanisms means that any non-specialist system integrator can be in charge of this type of application during the implementation phase, no specific skills or training are necessary. Knowledge of basic PC technologies is sufficient. World-wide access to information to facilitate equipment maintenance This architecture is ready to receive the maintenance information for the various machines installed in order to make it available to operators or service providers (either locally or remotely). HMI adapted to hypermarkets during operation : the operator is only provided with the necessary information for operations to be carried out efficiently. Several levels of access rights can be defined. the specific supervision needs of a hypermarket operator can be covered by simply developing Web pages (HTML) on-board in the servers. This solution is simple, low cost, and fully covers operators needs. Simple to install no specific wiring needed, standard Ethernet network wiring used (RJ 45 connectors). Flexible, upgradable, open it is easy to integrate additional functions without having to rework the whole system (e.g. addition of a rooftop, store extension) it is possible to integrate the equipment of third parties in the HTML TCP/IP standard tool (e.g. supervision of other machines).
