TUNNEL VENTILATION
CONTROL PHILOSOPHY
The following modes are available:
1. Automatic Pollution Control (Lowest Priority - Normal Operating Mode). This is the default
control mode, and is always active.
2. Automatic Fire Shutdown from VAID
3. Manual Operator Override from Operator GUI at the TMC
4. Manual Operator Override from SCADA GUI at the TOA/Maintainers location.
5. Emergency Manual Operator Override from SCADA GUI at the TMC (Incident response plans
and appropriate manual inputs)
6. Emergency Manual Operator Override from Smoke Control Panels (SCP-Highest SCADA Priority
control mode)
7. The highest mode of operation (non-SCADA/PMCS operated) is at the local control panel, the
panel switched to local control.
The SCADA will display and record which control modes are active for each bore. This will give the
operators an idea of how the ventilation control will change when higher priority control modes are deactivated and lower priority control modes get selected as a result.
In the case of SCP control, there will be four physical control panels situated at the portals. Ventilation
control of a given tunnel bore will therefore be granted to SCPs on a first come-first served basis such
that, for a given bore, if one panel has control of a bore the other three will be locked out for the
duration of the control selection being active. The actual panel that is granted control will be displayed
and recorded by the SCADA when SCP control modes are active.
For each bore, the PMCS will examine the active control modes and select the highest priority mode as
the source for ventilation control. This will be displayed and recorded by the SCADA as the Overall
Ventilation Control Mode.
3.1.1 Overview of the Control Mode Requests
Each active control mode will have an associated control mode request, which will represent the level
of ventilation required by that mode in the range of 0 to 100%.
For each bore, the control mode request setting for the highest active priority control mode will be
selected for ventilation control of that bore.
For each bore, the SCADA will display and record the control mode requests assigned to each active
control mode, as well as the selected Overall Control Mode Request. This will inform the operators of
how the ventilation control will change when higher priority control modes are de-activated and lower
priority control modes get selected as a result:

TUNNEL VENTILATION
CONTROL PHILOSOPHY
For each bore, these conditions will be monitored using three sets of CO, NO2 and Vis sensors, giving
nine separate control inputs into the Automatic Pollution Control Request algorithm. The following
level of detail will be displayed and reported at the SCADA for each sensor:
Sensor reading (in ppm for CO and NO2, and m-1 for VIS)
Sensor equipment fault (a failure report from the equipment)
I/O and communications fault (a failure to acquire the above information into the PMCS).
An average CO, NO2 and VIS reading for each bore will be calculated using available readings from the
sensors located throughout the bore. A sensor reading will be deemed available to this control mode as
long as:
The average readings for each type of sensor (CO, NO2 and VIS) in a particular bore will default to zero
if there are no available associated source sensor readings in the bore. The average readings will be
displayed and recorded by the SCADA for each bore:
The averaged CO, NO2 and VIS readings from above will be used to derive three related Sensor Control
Requests in the range 0 to 100% for each bore. They will also be displayed and recorded at the SCADA.

Page 8 of 19
TUNNEL VENTILATION
CONTROL PHILOSOPHY
The SCADA will display and record the status of all fire zones including the above mentioned equipment
and communication faults, as well as the combined alarm for each bore.
There is a requirement for detection from dual cameras (double knock) fire detection before an alarm
is raised and this control mode made active. This can either be carried out at the VAID or at the PMCS.
This will be resolved by conference between the PMCS and VAID suppliers.
Fire alarm resets will be a manual operator function carried out at the SCADA, VAID or a combination of
the two. This will be resolved by consultation between the PMCS and VAID suppliers.
The Automatic Fire Shutdown Control Mode will be de-activated when all related zoned fire alarms are
successfully reset.
3.1.4 Manual Operator Override from TSS/TMC in Detail
For each bore, the PMCS will accept manual operator override requests from the TMC. These requests
will be in steps of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%.
The control mode will remain active until the PMCS receives a mode reset command from the TMC.
It is assumed that the TMC will provide password protection against unauthorised usage.
The SCADA will also provide a password protected mode reset function in case it is not possible for the
TMC operator to issue a reset command, because of TMC communications link failures for instance.
This action will be recorded by the SCADA for auditing purposes.
3.1.5 Manual Operator Override from TOA/SCADA in Detail
For each bore, the PMCS will accept manual operator override requests from the SCADA. These
requests will be in steps of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%.
The control mode will remain active until the PMCS receives a mode reset command from the SCADA.
The above actions will require password authorisation.
3.1.6 Emergency Manual Operator Override from TSS/TMC in Detail
This mode allows TMC tunnel operators to select the most suitable tunnel ventilation setting for both
bores in the event of an incident.
The PMCS will be configured with a fixed table of scenarios vs. emergency manual SCADA ventilation
control mode requests for each bore. This scenario list and associated control mode requests has yet to
be determined.

The control mode will remain active until the PMCS receives a mode reset command from the SCADA.
The above actions will require password authorisation.
3.1.8 Emergency Manual Operator Override from SCP in Detail
For each bore, the PMCS will accept manual operator override requests from the four portal smoke
control panels. These requests will be 0%, 50% and 100%.
Before any ventilation control selections can be made, it is necessary for one of the four smoke control
panels to be granted control of the tunnel.
Specific details regarding the smoke control panels are given in a separate document item 6 since it is
an item that is common several other plant areas as well as tunnel ventilation.
The SCADA will provide password-authorised operators with an SCP control mode reset function in case
it is not possible for SCP operators to release control. This action will be recorded by the SCADA for
auditing purposes.

5.0 Fan Starter Control and Monitoring
5.1 General
Twenty-four (24) 100% truly reversible jet fans fixed speed fans, started through soft-starter
application, will be provided for each bore.
For each bore, it is intended that up to six of these fans can be running at any one time.
For each bore, the PMCS will take the above-calculated number of fans required and convert them into
individual fan starter control demands.

At the next fan start the fan number will increment with 1 in each location.
The PMCS will ensure that the correct number of fans are running. Any deviation between the Actual
Running and the Number Required will result in available fans being demanded to Run or Stop.
Fan starter control demands will be subject to the following:
The PMCS will self-diagnose the I/O and communications paths involved with acquiring fan starter
information into the PLCs so that non-trustworthy indications can be singled out from fan control and
reported to the SCADA.
5.3 Fan Sequencing
The PMCS will provide fan control demand sequencing so that:
The sequencer will be cyclic, working from level 0 to level 4, and then back to 0, and so on.
When more fans are required to start, the sequencer will increment to the next non-active level and
selected fans that are available for remote control, and that will generate a Running control demand
for the fan. The sequencer will hold at this level and fans until it is reported to:
Have been running for a time period that covers the specified starter inrush.
Fans not being available to PMCS remote control.

This process will then repeat as more fans are required to run, until the actual running fans equals the
number required to run.
When more fans are required to stop, the sequencer will increment to the next running level and fans
that are available for remote control, and generate a Stop control demand for the fan. The sequencer
will hold at this fan until it is reported to:
Have stopped.
Fans not being available to PMCS remote control.
This process will then repeat as more fans are required to stop, until the actual running fans equals the
number required to run.
5.4 Fan Availability Checks
All fans will be checked for availability at all times, this will be carried out separately to the operation of
the sequencer. This information will be displayed and recorded at the SCADA, as well as fed back into
the sequencer so that non-available fans can be skipped. Fans will be reported unavailable if:
The starter hardware reports an unexpected fault. This will be displayed and reported at the
SCADA as an unexpected starter hardware fault, which at a fan hardware level must include for
power failures. The fault will remain until the starter clears the reported fault.
The starter is deliberately taken out of PMCS remote control by local start/stop controls, panel
isolation or emergency stop. This will be displayed and reported at the SCADA as a deliberate
action preventing remote fan control. The indication will remain until the starter is returned to
remote control.
There is an instrumentation fault on the I/O and communications paths between the starter
and the PLC. Untrustworthy fan starter information will be displayed and recorded at the
SCADA.
The fan, which is otherwise healthy and allowed remote control, persistently fails to respond
correctly to the stop or run control demand. Any persistent differences will be latched and
reported to the SCADA as a Fan Control Failure. The PMCS will also highlight any defects with
the control demand circuit.
Control demands for fans deemed un-available will always be driven into the Stop state. This will
prevent fans from unexpectedly restarting at some point in the future when the fan starter hardware
recovers from a fault, or is placed back into remote control; the sequencer will first need to cycle back
round to the fans in question in order for them to restart. This mechanism will also remove all fan
running control demands if the ac supply to all fans is lost, so that the fans do not all restart at the
same time when the power is restored.
With fans being unavailable, it is possible for more fans to be required, than are available. In this
situation, the sequencer will continually scan for fans until they become available to start or stop. The
PMCS will detect when multiple cycles have been made, but without achieving the required number of
fans running, so that an overall Required Ventilation Not Achieved alarm can be displayed and reported
at the SCADA.

5.5 Fans Priority Calculation
After checking Availability of the fan; the priority shall be checked as well; this is to maintain
equal usability of all fans
The calculated fan priority determined by the working \ operation time and the maintenance \
off time as follows:
o
Register Calendar day and time stamp [Fan operation \on Time].
Set the fan priority [1 to 4] in which 1 represents the lower usability and 4 represents
the highest usability.
The following flow chart indicates the sequence control of the previous process:

5.6 Fan Direction
Under normal circumstances the directional control of the fans will be in the direction of the traffic in
each bore.
Only under contraflow conditions will the fans be reversed, the SCADA system will be set to contraflow
and the PMCS will allow for the reversal of the fans according to the set plan. (Local control only)
5.7 Fan Exercising
To ensure that the fans are exercised on a regular basis, a timer will be set within the PMCS system for
each fan, and should a fan have been un-operational for a week then 10 minutes run duration will be
set. The timing of the exercising shall be adjusted to coincide with the manufacturers
recommendations.
5.8 Fan Motor Winding Temperature Monitoring.
All fan motors are fitted with winding temperature detection via a thermistor circuit, hardwired into
the soft starter control circuit. The cause for such a condition would normally be insufficient cooling,
due to insufficient airflow or an insulating residue being deposited on the motor casing from the
pollution contents within the airstream. This hardwired solution will disengage or trip the motor
instantly and make the fan unit unavailable to the PMCS. An alarm will be raised for maintenance
intervention.
If Automatic Control is selected on fan starter panel, then in the event of a detected incident the
thermistor circuit will be inhibited and the fan will run to destruction to support the incident ventilation
demand.
5.9 Fan Bearing Temperature and Vibration Status
Additional bearing temperature and vibration status signals will be monitored by the PMCS for each
fan. These signals will give an analogue profile for SCADA display and recording only:
The analogue sensor readings will be compared against trip set-points for the purpose of generating
High Temperature and Vibration Warnings if the readings are persistently higher than the set-point.
These warnings will also be displayed and recorded at the SCADA. These set-points will be fixed in the
PMCS in accordance with the fan manufacturers specification.
These readings and alarms are for indication only, and will have no bearing on the fan availability
checks described previously.
