1.1 Application
PCS-992 is used as the stability controller for the regional power grid and the large-scale regional
interconnection power grid, especially for the transient stability control system of the wide-area
multiple power plants. It is also for security and stability control of a single power plant.

This device adopts a distributed architecture: the hardware and software are modulized designed,
and they can be assembled flexiblely for meeting different application demands. The hardware
and software designs of this device adopt multiple reliability measures to ensure the high reliability
of this device.

This device can sample the analog values from the traditional instrument transformers, or receive
the sampled values from the electronic current and voltage transformers. This device can support
the communication protocol IEC60970-5-103 and IEC61850, and fully support the GOOSE input
and output function. This device also supports the distributed configuration mode in practical
application.

PCS-992 stability controller includes the master unit (PCS-992M) and the slave unit (PCS-992S).
The master unit PCS-992M and the slave unit PCS-992S work together in a system. Each master
unit (PCS-922M) can communicate with up to 8 slave units (PCS-922S).

If the traditional instrument transformers are adopted, this device can provide up to 36 analog
inputs. This device also can provide up to 48 binary inputs and up to 32 binary outputs.

1.2 Function
 PCS-992 can detect the operation conditions of outgoing line, main transformer (or generator)
of the power plant or substation and transmit the device’s status at local substation to related
substations. According to the device′s status (be in/out of service) at local substation and
other devices’ status (be in/out of service) from other substations, PCS-992 can automatically
identify the current operation mode of the power grid.

 PCS-992 can judge fault types of outgoing line, main transformer and busbar at local
substation or power plant, such as single-phase transient fault, single-phase permanent fault,
two-phase short-circuit fault, three-phase short-circuit fault, fault-free trip and simultaneous
trip of multi-circuit lines, and so on.

 When there is a fault in the power system, this device will look up the strategy table stored in
the device via prior off-line stability analysis on the basis of the judged fault types (including
fault information delivered from remote end) and operation mode of the power grid before
accident and power flow of the major power-transmission section, this device makes a
decision of the control measures and controlled quantities being taken, such as generator
rejection, load shedding, separation, DC power modulation, rapid reduction of power output of
generator-transformer unit, and so on.

 It is necessary to take control measures in real time based on the scheduled processing logic
when the accidents which are not relevant to the system operation mode happened, such as
frequency stabilization, voltage stabilization, equipment overload etc.

1 Introduction

 If the controlled object is generator-transformer unit at local power plant, it is required to sort
these generator-transformer units during operation according to the scheduled specific
requirements (such as power output) and select the unit being disconnected (as per capacity
or number) reasonably. If the controlled object is electric load, it is required to list the load
lines according to scheduled requirements and select the load being disconnected reasonably
on the premise of meeting load-shedding requirements.

 If it needs to take measures at other substations and power plants, it is necessary to directly
send control commands and quantities to the execution substation via optical fiber, microwave
or carrier channel, or transmit to the execution substation via other substations.

 The control commands received from the master substation or other substations via channel
should be executed after remote control commands being identified and verified locally.

3.1 Overview
According to the fixed sampling period, the main program of the device enters into sampling
program after receiving sampling interruption. The sampling program fulfills analog quantity
acquisition and filtering, binary signal acquisition, device hardware self-supervision (including
RAM, E2PROM chips, tripping output triode, etc.), external abnormality discrimination, and fault
detection. Whether meet the pickup condition will determine enter into the normal operation
program or fault calculation program.

Communication program will arrange received the data and command (including the master-slave
communication, communications between the substation, etc.) to form related data source, for the
use of device control strategy processing.

The normal operation program fulfills device self-supervision, and the device will send the alarm
signal when the device is abnormal. The alarm signal is divided into two kinds, one is operation
abnormality alarm, which does not block the device and only remind operators to handle, and the
other is blocking alarm signal, which makes the device is out of service.

Fault calculation program for system fault discrimination and strategy processing, etc.

3.2 Measuring Method


The device samples AC voltage and current based on a sampling rate of 24 points per cycle. After
digital filtering, r.m.s. value of voltage and current, active power and reactive power, etc are
calculated based on the following methods.

1. Full-wave Fourier algorithm for voltage and current

2. General algorithm for three-phase active power:

1 24
P  u a (k )ia (k )  ub (k )ib (k )  uc (k )ic (k )
24 k 1

Unit: MW

3. Algorithm for three-phase reactive power: shift phase of voltage in the above formula for
90°and get the following computational formula for reactive power:

1 24
Q  u a (k  6)ia (k )  ub (k  6)ib (k )  uc (k  6)ic (k )
24 k 1

Unit: MVar

Where:

u a (k ), u b (k ), u c (k ) are the instantaneous value of three-phase voltages.

i a (k ), i b (k ), ic (k ) are the instantaneous value of three-phase currents.

3.3 Discrimination on on/off Status


3.3.1 On/off Status Discrimination Based on Electrical Quantity
The active power value and r.m.s. value of current can be used to discriminate on/off operating
status of line, main transformer and generator-transformer unit.

Pt is the power threshold value for being in service, i.e. [P_On/Off_xx].

It is the current threshold value for being in service, i.e. [ I_On/Off_xx].

1. When the connected equipment is line or main transformer

On status: |P|>Pt (voltage is normal) or I>It (voltage is abnormal)

Off status: |P|<Pt (voltage is normal) or I<It (voltage is abnormal)

The device will confirm on/off status with a time delay of 2s.

2. When the connected equipment is generator-transformer unit

On status: |P|>Pt or I>It

Off status: |P|<Pt and I<It

The device will confirm on/off status with a time delay of 3ms.

3.3.2 On/off Status Discrimination Based on CB Position and Electrical Quantity


When on/off status of the connected equipment cannot be correctly discriminated only via

electrical quantity for some inter-connecting lines whose normal load flow might be zero, it is
necessary to use the circuit breaker position signal (52a/52b) as assistance.

1. When adopting normally open auxiliary contact of circuit breaker position signal (52a)

On status: 52a is closed or the discrimination element based on electrical quantity is on.

Off status: 52a is open and the discrimination element based on electrical quantity is off.

Pole-disagreement status: 52a is open and the discrimination element based on electrical
quantity is on. Under this pole-disagreement status, the connected equipment is judged as
being on while the device will issue abnormal alarm signal on breaker position. (i.e.
[Alm_52_XX])

2. When adopting normally closed auxiliary contact of circuit breaker position signal (52b)

On status: 52b is open or the discrimination element based on electrical quantity is on.

Off status: 52b is closed and the discrimination element based on electrical quantity is off.

Pole-disagreement status: 52b is closed and the discrimination element based on electrical
quantity is on. Under this pole-disagreement status, the connected equipment is judged as
being on while the device will issue abnormal alarm signal on breaker position. (i.e.
[Alm_52_XX])

3.4 Fault Detector Element


3.4.1 Sudden Change Element of Current
It is discriminated on each phase. The device compares each phase current with the current
before a cycle.

i  i(k) - i(k - 24)  I s

IS is the current pickup setting (i.e. [I_SudnChg_Pkp_XX]).

The device can be in pickup condition if any phase can meet the formula three times continuously.

6. t≥tS1 (The confirmed time delay satisfying the above-mentioned criterion, i.e. the setting
[t_Trp_XX])

It may be judged as fault-free tripping if the above 6 conditions are met at the same time.

PS1 should be smaller than the transmitted power having impact on the stability. PS2 should be
slightly greater than 0 and greater than the maximum drift value under zero power. The current IS1

3.6 Electronic Transformer Synchronous Sampling


This device supports SV data transmission by the two methods, networking and peer-to-peer.

By the method of networking, each merging unit synchronizes with a uniform clock source and
sends the SV data frame to the device. Then the device executes interpolation calculation on the
SV data frame according to the same sampling counter and gets the analog input data for
protection calculation. In the mode, the device synchronization accuracy is 5us (0.09 °) or less,
which fully meets the protection needs of stability control device.

By the peer-to-peer method, the device does not rely on GPS, but it needs that the time difference
between the sampling instant and the sending sampled data instant is fixed in the same merging
unit. It allows that the time difference can be inconsistent in different merging units. The device can
adjust to compensate the time difference automatically according to the relevant delay
parameters.

3.7 Time Management


 Real-time Clock

A high-precision real-time clock is configured in the MON module of the device. When the device is
powered off, the real-time clock also can continue to run for a month.

 Time Synchronization

The device can connect multiple clock signals for accurate clock synchronization, such as
differential IRIG-B issued by the standard clock devices (e.g. PCS-9785), differential PPS, fiber
IRIG-B, fiber PPS, potential contact PPS, potential contact PPM, SNTP broadcast, SNTP
peer-to-peer, IEEE-1588, etc.The setting [Opt_TimeSyn] is used to select the time source. Refer to
the Section 8.1.2 for more detailed information.

Flexible clock synchronization switch is supported in the device. Once the synchronization signal
with high priority is disconnected, the device automatically selects a signal with low priority. For
example, if the differential IRIG-B signal is disconnected and the potential contact PPS signal is
effective, then it will switch to the potential contact PPS signal. For differential PPS, potential
contact PPS, potential contact PPM signal, there is not calendar information, the device will
synchronize with the calendar information in the SNTP or IEC103 background information.

When the time synchronization is successful, the LCD will display "S" in the first row on the left,
representing SyncOK.

4.1 Overview
Protection system is in quiescent state under normal conditions, and it is required to respond
promptly for faults occurred on power system. When the device is in energizing process before the
LED “HEALTHY” is on, the device need to be checked to ensure no abnormality. Therefore, the
automatic supervision function, which checks the health of the protection system when startup and
during normal operation, plays an important role.

The numerical device based on the microprocessor operations is suitable for implementing this
automatic supervision function of the protection system.

In case a defect is detected during initialization when DC power supply is provided to the device,
the device will be blocked with indication and alarm of relay out of service. It is suggested a trial
recovery of the device by re-energization. Please contact supplier if the device is still failure.

When a failure is detected by the automatic supervision, it is followed by a LCD message, LED
indication and alarm contact outputs. The failure alarm is also recorded in event recording report
and can be printed if required.

4.2 Supervision Alarms


Hardware circuit and operation status of the device are self-supervised continuously. If any
abnormal condition is detected, information or report will be displayed and a corresponding alarm
will be issued.

A minor abnormality may block a certain number of protections functions while the other functions
can still work. However, if severe hardware failure or abnormality, such as PWR module failure,
DC converter failure and so on, are detected, all protection functions will be blocked and the LED
“HEALTHY” will be extinguished and blocking output contacts BO_FAIL will be given. The
protective device then can not work normally and maintenance is required to eliminate the failure.
All the alarm signals and the corresponding handling suggestions are listed below.

Note!

If the protective device is blocked or alarm signal is sent during operation, please do find
out its reason with the help of self-diagnostic record. If the reason can not be found at site,
please notify the factory NR. Please do not simply press button “TARGET RESET” on the
protection panel or re-energize on the device.

When three-phase voltage returns to the normal condition, the alarm signal will automatically drop
off with a time delay of 5s.

4.6 CT Circuit Supervision


The function is used to detect the completeness of the secondary circuit of CT and ensure that the
current measured by the device reflects the real primary system current. The abnormality of CT
secondary circuit, if any, may result maloperation of some protective elements based on the
current. The CT circuit failure detection function is always enabled whether fault detector element
operates or not.

Under normal conditions, the device will monitor residual current (3I0) continuously and will issue
the CT circuit failure alarm signal with a time delay of 5s and some logics will be blocked in case
the following criterion is met.

3I 0  0.04I n  0.25I max

Where:

3I0 is residual current

In is primary CT rated current

Imax maximum phase current among three phase currents

6 System Structure and Communication Interface

6.1 Overview
In order to resolve the problem of stability in the regional power grid, the stability control devices
installed in several substations are connected with communication interface through channel and
constitute the stability control system, so it can exchange operation information, deliver control
command among several substations and enforce stability control within larger range. The
regional stability control system is generally equipped with a master station, several sub-stations
and execution stations. The master station is usually located at pivotal substation or power plant at
the key location and is responsible to summarize the operation information of each station, to
identify the operation mode of power grid and to deliver related information of operation method to
each substation.

6.2 System Structure


Several sets of stability control devices constitute the stability control system of power grid through
the coordination of channel. The system can be master-slave single-layer structure with a main
station and sub-stations as the rest of structure. The main station and sub-stations can be
connected by optical fibre channel or carrier channel and so on. A main station can be connected
with 30 substations at most. The system connection is shown in Figure 6.2-1.

Master Station

Sub-station 1 Sub-station 2 Sub-station N

Figure 6.2-1 Master-slave single-layer structure

The system can also be master-slave multi-layer structure. The system connection is shown in
Figure 6.2-2.

The security and stability control system can also be composite structure with two or more main
stations. The system connection is shown in Figure 6.2-3.

station1 station N station1 station N

Figure 6.2-3 Composite structure with several main stations

6.3 Device Structure


The hardware structure of device is basically consistent in the master station, sub-station and
execution station. The master station should extend the communication interface (which is used to
be connected with sub-station and execution station) if the stability control system is larger. The
sub-station is used to connect with master station and execution station and its communication
interface is less. The execution station may only need one communication interface to
communicate with master station or sub-station. Each station is made up of a set of master unit
and several sets of slave units with signal multiplex equipment if necessary.

The master unit of master station is responsible for communicating with devices of other stations,
receive acquisition data from slave unit of the station, identify results and operation method of
system, form needed cross-section power and implement stability control strategy, etc. The slave
unit is responsible to acquire data, calculate, identify whether the line (main transformer and
generator) is in service, whether the line (main transformer, generator and bus) trips and the form
of fault, etc. and carry out the order from master unit.

In the system, the locations of master station, sub-station and execution station should be decided
by actual conditions. The master station may be some important power plant or important
substation, other substations are sub-station and the power plant is the execution station.

6.4 Communication Interface


The communication among stability control stations can be completed by interfaces such as
asynchronous serial port, PLC (power line carrier), dedicated optical fibre and PCM multiplex
channel and so on. Adopting different COM plug-in module can realize the selection of different
interface mode. Several communication structures are shown in Figure 6.4-1.

The device also supports IEC61850-8-1 protocol for communication among stability control
stations. Adopting NR-1136 plug-in module can realize the communication with IEC61850-8-1
protocol, and its communication structure is shown in Figure 6.4-2.

When it is necessary to be connected with existing device of stability control station to

PCS-992 Stability Controller 6-3


Date: 2013-07-08
6 System Structure and Communication Interface

communication via asynchronous serial port, the corresponding plug-in module can be selected
and used. The interface can be RS-422 or RS-232. The stability control stations are connected by
optical fibre.

If there is no optical fibre at partial channels of the system, the communication can be completed
by PLC channel. MODEM plug-in module can be selected and used with communication speed as
1200bps.

When the system adopts the optical fibre channel, the communication between master station and
sub-station can be completed by data channel with high-speed (2Mbps) and synchronous
communication mode. The channel can use dedicated optical fibre or SDH multiplex device.
Regardless of dedicated optical fibre or multiplex SDH device, both receiving and sending
interfaces of communication in the device use optical fibre transmission mode. If using dedicated
fibre channel, the device adopts internal clock, that means TX clocks of the devices at both sides
work in the master-master mode, see Figure 6.4-3. Transmitting data adopts internal clock and
receiving clock is extracted from received data stream.

7.1 Overview
PCS-992 stability controller consists of a master unit (PCS-992M) and 0~8 slave unit (PCS-992S),
and a communication interface unit (MUX-22C) is necessary if the communication among stations
is required. The slave unit generally perform the signal sampling and calculation function, the
master unit perform the communication to other stations. The master unit and slave unit are
placed in the relay room, the communication interface units is placed in the communication room.

PCS-992 adopts 32-bit microchip processor CPU as control core for logic calculation and
management function, meanwhile, adopts high-speed digital signal processor DSP to be in charge
of all the protection calculation. 24 points are sampled in every cycle and parallel processing of
sampled data can be realized in each sampling interval to ensure ultra-high reliability and safety of
protection equipment. The architecture of the hardware is shown in the following figure.

The working process of the device is as follows: firstly, the current and voltage is converted into
small voltage signal and sent to DSP module after being filtered and converted by AD for
protection calculation and fault detector respectively. When DSP module completes all the
protection calculation, the result will be sent to 32-bit CPU on MON module to be recorded.
Protection DSP module carries out protection logic calculation, tripping output, and MON module
completes SOE (sequence of event) record, waveform recording, printing, communication
between protection and SAS and communication between HMI and CPU. The work process of
fault detector DSP module is similar to that of protection DSP module, and the only difference is,
when fault detector DSP module decides a fault detector picks up, only positive power supply of
output relay will be switched on.

The PCS-992 is comprised of intelligent modules, except that few particular modules' (MON
module DSP module, and PWR module) position cannot be changed in the whole device, the

Note!

The standard rated voltage of PWR module is self-adaptive to 88~300 Vdc. If input voltage
is out of range, an alarm signal (Fail_Device) will be issued. For non-standard rated
voltage power supply module please specify when place order, and check if the rated
voltage of power supply module is the same as the voltage of power source before the
device being put into service.

PWR module provides terminal 12 and grounding screw for device grounding. Terminal 12
shall be connected to grounding screw and then connected to the earth copper bar of
panel via dedicated grounding wire.

Effective grounding is the most important measure for a device to prevent EMI, so effective
grounding must be ensured before the device is put into service.

PCS-992, like almost all electronic devices, contains electrolytic capacitors. These
capacitors are well known to be subject to deterioration over time if voltage is not applied
periodically. Deterioration can be avoided by powering the devices up once a year.

1. Binary input: [BI_TimeSyn]

It is used to receive clock synchronism signal from GPS or other device, the binary input
[BI_TimeSyn] will change from “0” to “1” once GPS is received. When setting [Opt_TimeSyn] is
selected as “PPM (DIN)”, the device can receives pulse per minute (PPM) via the binary input
[BI_TimeSyn].

2. Binary input: [BI_Print]

It is used to manually trigger printing latest report when the equipment is configured as manual
printing mode by logic setting [En_AutoPrint]=0. The printer button is located on the panel usually.
If the equipment is configured as automatic printing mode ([En_AutoPrint] =1), report will be
printed automatically as soon as it is formed.

3. Binary input: [BI_Maintenance]

It is used to block communication export when the BI is energized. During equipment maintenance
or testing, the BI is then energized not to send reports via communication port, local display and
printing still work as usual. The BI should be de-energized when the equipment is restored back to
normal.

The application of the binary input [BI_Maintenance] for digital substation communication adopting
IEC61850 protocol is given as follows.

1) Processing mechanism for MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification) message

a) The protection device should send the state of this binary input to client.

b) When this binary input is energized, the bit “Test” of quality (Q) in the sent message changes
to “1”.

c) When this binary input is energized, the client cannot control the isolator link and circuit
breaker, modify settings and switch setting group remotely.

d) According to the value of the bit “Test” of quality (Q) in the message sent, the client
discriminate whether this message is maintenance message, and then deal with it correspondingly.
If the message is the maintenance message, the content of the message will not be displayed on
real-time message window, audio alarm not issued, but the picture is refreshed so as to ensure
that the state of the picture is in step with the actual state. The maintenance message will be
stored, and can be inquired, in independent window.

2) Processing mechanism for GOOSE message

a) When this binary input is energized, the bit “Test” in the GOOSE message sent by the
protection device changes to “1”.

b) For the receiving end of GOOSE message, it will compare the value of the bit “Test” in the
GOOSE message received by it with the state of its own binary input (i.e. [BI_Maintenance]), the
message will be thought as invalid unless they are conformable.

3) Processing mechanism for SV (Sampling Value) message

a) When this binary input of merging unit is energized, the bit “Test” of quality (Q) of sampling
data in the SV message sent change “1”.

b) For the receiving end of SV message, if the value of bit “Test” of quality (Q) of sampling data
in the SV message received is “1”, the relevant protection functions will be disabled, but under
maintenance state, the protection device should calculate and display the magnitude of sampling
data.

c) For duplicated protection function configurations, all merging units of control module
configured to receive sampling should be also duplicated. Both dual protection devices and dual
merging units should be fully independent each other, and one of them is in maintenance state will
not affect the normal operation of the other.

4. Binary input: [BI_RstTarg]

It is used to reset latching signal relay and LCD displaying. The reset is done by pressing a button
on the panel.

5. Binary input: [BI_TestMode]

It is used to indicate that the device is in the testing mode, in this mode the device is used for the
testing of setting value. For normal operation please make sure this binary input should be
de-energized.

When no time synchronization signal is connected to the equipment, please select
NoTimeSync
this option and the alarm message [Alm_TimeSync] will not be issued anymore.

“Conventional” mode and “SAS” mode are always be supported by device, but “Advanced” mode
is only supported when NET-DSP module is equipped. The alarm signal [Alm_TimeSyn] may be
issued to remind user loss of time synchronization signals.

1) When “SAS” is selected, if there is no conventional clock synchronization signal, the device
will not send the alarm signal [Alm_TimeSyn]. When “Conventional”mode is slected, if there is
no conventional clock synchronization signal, “SAS”mode will be enabled automatically with
the alarm signal [Alm_TimeSyn] being issued simultaneously.

2) When “Advanced” mode is selected, if there is no conventional clock synchronization signal


connected to NET-DSP moduel,“SAS”mode is enabled automatically with the alarm signal
[Alm_TimeSyn] being issued simultaneously.

3) When “NoTimeSyn” mode is selected, the device will not send alarm signals.

NOTE! The clock message via IEC103 protocol is invalid when the device receives the

IRIG-B signal through RC-485 port.

9. OffsetHour_UTC, OffsetMinute_UTC

If the IEC61850 protocol is adopted in substations, the time tags of communication messages are
required according to UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) time.

The setting [OffsetHour_UTC] is used to set the hour offset of the current time zone to the GMT
(Greenwich Mean Time) zone; for example, if a relay is applied in China, the time zone of China is
east 8th time zone, so this setting is set as “8”. The setting [OffsetMinute_UTC] is used to set the
minute offset of the current time zone to the GMT zone.

 Setting description

1. Opt_Type_@Name_SmBayn

0: means that this bay is not connected with element and is reserved; the device will not
discriminate its status (in or out of service, fault)

1: means the element type connected to this bay is line, the device discriminates its status (in or
out of service, fault), and the status of this bay will be determined with a time delay of 2s.

2: means that the element type connected to this bay is generator, the device discriminates its
status (in or out of service, fault), and the status of this bay will be determined immediately.

3: means that the element type connected to this bay is main transformer, the device discriminates
its status (in or out of service, fault), and the status of this bay will be determined with a time delay
of 2s.

Setting principles: set in accordance with the specific type of the element connected to this bay. If
there are special requirements for the discrimination of be in service or out of service, make
adjustment based on the function needs.

2. Un_Pri_@Name_SmBayn

This setting is primary rated phase-to-phase voltage of the element connected to this bay, and it is
used to calculate primary voltage value of the connected element.

Setting principle: set is as same as primary rated phase-to-phase voltage of the connected
element.

3. In_Pri_@Name_SmBayn

This setting is primary rated phase current of the element connected to this bay, and it is used to
calculate primary current value of the connected element.

Setting principle: set is as same as primary rated phase voltage of the connected element.

4. Opt_CBPosInput_@Name_SmBayn

Note!

For line, generator and mian transformer, the device mainly discriminate the status by
active power and current value. However, for some inter-connection line whose power flow
may be zero under normal condition, adopts normally open/closed auxiliary contact of the
corresponding circuit breaker to discriminate.

When this setting is set as “0”, the device just discriminate the status according to electrical
quantity.

When this setting is set as “1” or “2”, the device first discriminates whether the device is in service
or out of service status according to the electrical quantity. If the electrical quantity cannot
discriminate whether it is in service status, according to normally open/closed auxiliary contact, the
device makes the auxiliary discrimination of be in service status. When the electrical quantity
criteria discriminates that this bay is in service status, but normally open/closed auxiliary contact is
inconsistent with the status, the device will issue an alarm signal [Alm_52_@Name_SmBayn].

Note!

The setting [Opt_CBPosInput_@Name_SmBayn] is only used in the status discrimination


of be in service or out of service of the element connected to this bay, it can not be used to
judge the triping of the element.

5. I_On/Off_@Name_SmBayn

1: used to discriminate in service or out of service status of the connected element. When the
current of the connected element is greater than the setting, the device discriminates that the
connected element is in service status with a time delay (the time delay is determined by the
setting [Opt_Type_@Name_SmBayn]).

2: used to discriminate the fault-free tripping. The fault-free tripping discrimination of the
connected element requires the current of the element after tripping must be less than the setting.
When the current of the connected element is grater than the setting, the device considers that the
fault-free tripping criterion of the connected element is not met, so the certain reliability coefficient
must be considered when setting it, it can avoid miss-operation of fault-free tripping criteria in the
device.

Setting principle: when the connected element is a line, the setting should be greater than line
charging current, and it is suggested to be set as 1.2 times of line charging current. The charging
current of long line with high resistance should be line charging current after compensation
(excluding the situation that the high resistance is connected to busbar). When the charging
current of the short line is comparatively smaller, the setting should be greater than or equal to
0.03 times of CT primary rated value. If there are special condition that needs the setting be less
than 0.03In on site, measuring and affirming under the actual operation condition on site can be
conducted, and then set the setting, the setting should ensure that there are enough safety
margins to avoid miss-operation of the device. If the condition permits, it is suggested to conduct
actual on-site metering of the line charging current in the device, and based on the actual

PCS-992 Stability Controller 8-15


8 Settings

measured value, set the setting considering the reliable coefficient is greater than 1.2.

When the connected element is a generator, the setting can be set as same as the current
corresponding to the condition that generator is operating under 20% rated active power.

When the connected element is an main transformer, the setting can be set as same as the
current corresponding to the condition that main transformer is operating under 10% rated power.

6. P_On/Off_@Name_SmBayn

This setting is used to judge in service or out of service status of the connected element. When the
active power of the connected element is greater than the setting, the device identifies that the
connected element is in service status with a time delay (the time delay is determined by the
setting [Opt_Type_@Name_SmBayn]).

Setting principles: when the connected element is a line, the setting should be set according to the
minimum value of transmitted active power under normal conditions, and the charging active
power of the line should also be considered, the setting should be greater than 1.2 times of
charging active power of the line. For the short line, when the charging active power is small, the
setting should be greater than or equal to the line active power corresponding to the condition that
the current is 0.01 times of CT primary rated current and the voltage is VT primary rated voltage as
well as the factor of active power is 1. Frequent change of discrimination to in service or out of
service status caused by measurement error can be avoided.

When the connected element is a generator, the setting can be set as same as the power
corresponding to the condition that generator is operating under 20% rated active power.

When the connected element is an main transformer, the setting can be set as same as the power
corresponding to the condition that main transformer is operating under 10% rated power.

7. I_SudnChg_Pkp_@Name_SmBayn

It is the pickup threshold of current sudden change value. When the current variation of the
connected element is greater than the setting within 20ms, the device will pick up.

Setting principles: the setting should be greater than the current variation caused by normal
system fluctuation, and a certain margin should be considered. Meanwhile, it should be larger than
or equal to 0.03 times of CT rated primary current, in order to prevent the device from frequent
pickup caused by measurement errors.

8. P_SudnChg_Pkp_@Name_SmBayn

It is the pickup threshold of active power sudden change value. When the active power variation of
the connected element is greater than the setting within 200ms, the device will pick up.

Setting principles: the setting should be greater than the active power variation caused by the
normal system fluctuation, and a certain margin should be considered. Meanwhile, the setting
should be larger than or equal to the active power corresponding to the condition that the current is
0.01 times of CT primary rated current and the voltage is VT primary rated voltage as well as the
factor of active power is 1, which can prevent the device from frequent pickup.

9. P_PreTrp_@Name_SmBayn

The setting is used to distinguish the fault-free tripping of the line or primary device. If the active
power of the connected element is smaller than the setting within 200ms before the device picks
up, the criterion of fault-free tripping is not met.

Setting principles: The setting should be slightly smaller than the minimum threshold value of
active power which can influence system stability when the element is tripped. The setting is
suggested to be set as 0.8 times of stability threshold power. When the setting calculated
according to the above method is smaller than the setting [P_On/Off_@Name_SmBayn], it is
suggested to set the setting according to the setting [P_On/Off_@Name_SmBayn].

10. P_PostTrp_@Name_SmBayn

The setting is used to distinguish the fault-free tripping of the line or primary device. If the active
power of the connected element is greater than the setting within the whole pickup time of the
device, the criterion of fault-free tripping is not met.

Setting principles: the setting should be greater than the active power of the connected element
under the condition that the connected element is energized in no-load state. When the connected
element is a line or an main transformer, the setting should be greater than the charging active
power (for a line, the high resistance compensation should be considered, refer to the setting
description of [P_On/Off_@Name_SmBayn]). When the connected element is a generator unit,
the setting can be set as 5% of rated active power of the generator unit, and the reliability factor
(1.2) is suggested to be considered.

Generally, the minimum value of the setting should not be less than the active power
corresponding to the condition that the current is 0.01 times of CT rated primary current and the
voltage is VT rated primary voltage as well as the factor of active power is 1. If smaller setting
value is required for special requirement on site, measuring and affirming under the actual
operation condition on site can be conducted, and then set the setting, the setting should ensure
that there are enough safety margins to avoid miss-operation of the device. If the condition permits,
it is suggested to conduct actual on-site metering of the line power after tripping in the device, and
based on the actual measured value, set the setting considering the reliable coefficient is greater
than 1.2.

11. t_AR_@Name_SmBayn

The setting is used to distinguish single-phase permanent fault of the connected line after
single-phase transient fault. After the system identifies single-phase transient fault of the
connected line, and if three-phase tripping after fault is identified by the device after the time delay
[t_AR_@Name_SmBayn], then it is identified that single-phase permanent fault happens. If
three-phase tripping after fault is identified by the device within the time delay
[t_AR_@Name_SmBayn], then it is identified that line phase-to-phase fault occurs. If both
single-phase permanent fault and phase-to-phase fault are not identified by the device finally and
three-phase tripping occurs, the criterion of fault-free tripping is met and the device identifies the
condition as fault-free tripping.

When the element connected to this bay is a line, the setting can be set as same as the time delay

PCS-992 Stability Controller 8-17

of AR of corresponding line protection device.

When the element connected to this bay is a generator unit or main transformer, the setting is
invalid and it is suggested to be set as the maximum value (10000ms).

12. t_Trp_@Name_SmBayn

The setting is a time delay used to confirm fault-free tripping of the line or primary device, and it is
mainly used to prevent the wrong identification of fault-free tripping when the active power of
system is transferred quickly.

Note!

In order to improve the identification correctness of fault-free tripping judgement, the


above related settings needs to coordinate with each other, on the promise that fault-free
tripping criterion can operate reliably, the value of [P_PreTrp_@Name_SmBayn] should
be taken as large as possible, the value of [P_PostTrp_@Name_SmBayn] should be
taken as small as possible, the value of [t_Trp_@Name_SmBayn] should be taken as
large as possible, the value of [I_On/Off_@Name_SmBayn] should be taken as small as
possible.

Note!

The measurement error means the comprehensive measurement error that composed of
the error due to CT and VT of external circuit, the error due to the internal small CT and VT
of sencondary side device and the error due to all aspects of the sampling circuit.

8.1.6 Function Links


Function Link is a special logic setting which is used to enable protection function. These function
links can be configured through local HMI or remote PC (controlled by the function link
[Link_RmtCtrlLink]).

Each function link is one of the conditions that decide whether the relevant protection function is in
service. If the virtual binary input [Link_RmtCtrlLink] is set as “1”, through SAS or RTU, the
function link can be set as “1” or “0”; and it means that the relevant protection function can be in
service or out of service through remote command.

These function links provide a convenient way for the operator to put the function in service or out
of service remotely away from an unattended substation.

as an example, as shown in Figure 9.1-6.

The Ethernet port can be used to communication with PC via auxiliary software (PCS-Explorer)
after connecting this device with PC, so as to fulfill on-line function (please refer to the instruction
manual of PCS-Explorer). At first, the connection between this device and PC must be established.
Through setting the IP address and subnet mask of corresponding Ethernet interface in the menu
“Settings→Device Setup→Comm Settings”, it should be ensured that this device and PC are in
the same network segment. For example, setting the IP address and subnet mask of network A.
(using network A to connect with PC)

PC: IP address is set as “198.87.96.102”, subnet mask is set as “255.255.255.0”

The IP address and subnet mask of this device should be [IP_LAN1]= 198.87.96.XXX,

10.1 Overview

This section outlines the remote communications interfaces of NR devices. The protective device
supports a choice of three protocols via the rear communication interface (RS-485 or Ethernet),
selected via the model number by setting. The protocol provided by the protective device is
indicated in the menu “Settings→Device Setup→Comm Settings”.

The rear EIA RS-485 interface is isolated and is suitable for permanent connection of whichever
protocol is selected. The advantage of this type of connection is that up to 32 protective devices
can be “daisy chained” together using a simple twisted pair electrical connection.

It should be noted that the descriptions contained within this section do not aim to fully detail the
protocol itself. The relevant documentation for the protocol should be referred to for this
information. This section serves to describe the specific implementation of the protocol in the
device.

10.2 Rear Communication Port Information

10.2.1 RS-485 Interface


This protective device provides two rear RS-485 communication ports, and each port has three
terminals in the 12-terminal screw connector located on the back of the device and each port has a
ground terminal for the earth shield of the communication cable. The rear ports provide RS-485
serial data communication and are intended for use with a permanently wired connection to a
remote control center.

10.2.1.1 EIA RS-485 Standardized Bus

The EIA RS-485 two-wire connection provides a half-duplex fully isolated serial connection to the
product. The connection is polarized and whilst the product’s connection diagrams indicate the
polarization of the connection terminals it should be borne in mind that there is no agreed
definition of which terminal is which. If the master is unable to communicate with the product, and
the communication parameters match, then it is possible that the two-wire connection is reversed.

10.2.1.2 Bus Termination

The EIA RS-485 bus must have 120Ω (Ohm) ½ Watt terminating resistors fitted at either end
across the signal wires (refer to Figure 10.2-1). Some devices may be able to provide the bus
terminating resistors by different connection or configuration arrangements, in which case
separate external components will not be required. However, this product does not provide such a
facility, so if it is located at the bus terminus then an external termination resistor will be required.

10.2.1.3 Bus Connections & Topologies

The EIA RS-485 standard requires that each device is directly connected to the physical cable that
is the communications bus. Stubs and tees are expressly forbidden, such as star topologies. Loop
bus topologies are not part of the EIA RS-485 standard and are forbidden by it also.

Two-core screened cable is recommended. The specification of the cable will be dependent on the
application, although a multi-strand 0.5mm2 per core is normally adequate. Total cable length must
not exceed 500m. The screen must be continuous and connected to ground at one end, normally
at the master connection point; it is important to avoid circulating currents, especially when the
cable runs between buildings, for both safety and noise reasons.

This product does not provide a signal ground connection. If a signal ground connection is present
in the bus cable then it must be ignored, although it must have continuity for the benefit of other
devices connected to the bus. At no stage must the signal ground be connected to the cables
screen or to the product’s chassis. This is for both safety and noise reasons.

10.2.1.4 Biasing

It may also be necessary to bias the signal wires to prevent jabber. Jabber occurs when the signal
level has an indeterminate state because the bus is not being actively driven. This can occur when
all the slaves are in receive mode and the master is slow to turn from receive mode to transmit
mode. This may be because the master purposefully waits in receive mode, or even in a high
impedance state, until it has something to transmit. Jabber causes the receiving device(s) to miss
the first bits of the first character in the packet, which results in the slave rejecting the message
and consequentially not responding. Symptoms of these are poor response times (due to retries),
increasing message error counters, erratic communications, and even a complete failure to
communicate.

Biasing requires that the signal lines be weakly pulled to a defined voltage level of about 1V. There
should only be one bias point on the bus, which is best situated at the master connection point.
The DC source used for the bias must be clean; otherwise noise will be injected. Note that some
devices may (optionally) be able to provide the bus bias, in which case external components will
not be required.

10 Communication

Note!

It is extremely important that the 120Ω termination resistors are fitted. Failure to do so will
result in an excessive bias voltage that may damage the devices connected to the bus.

As the field voltage is much higher than that required, NR cannot assume responsibility for
any damage that may occur to a device connected to the network as a result of incorrect
application of this voltage.

Ensure that the field voltage is not being used for other purposes (i.e. powering logic inputs)
as this may cause noise to be passed to the communication network.

10.2.2 Ethernet Interface


This protective device can provide four rear Ethernet interfaces (optional) and they are unattached
each other. Parameters of each Ethernet port can be configured in the menu “Settings→Device
Setup→Comm Settings”.

10.2.2.1 Ethernet Standardized Communication Cable

It is recommended to use twisted screened eight-core cable as the communication cable. A picture
is shown bellow.

Figure 10.2-2 Ethernet communication cable

10.2.2.2 Connections and Topologies

Each equipment is connected with an exchanger via communication cable, and thereby it forms a
star structure network. Dual-network is recommended in order to increase reliability. SCADA is
also connected to the exchanger and will play a role of master station, so the every equipment
which has been connected to the exchanger will play a role of slave unit.

10.2.3 IEC60870-5-103 Communication


The IEC specification IEC60870-5-103: Telecontrol Equipment and Systems, Part 5: Transmission
Protocols Section 103 defines the use of standards IEC60870-5-1 to IEC60870-5-5 to perform
communication with protective device. The standard configuration for the IEC60870-5-103
protocol is to use a twisted pair EIA RS-485 connection over distances up to 500m. It also supports
to use an Ethernet connection. The device operates as a slave in the system, responding to
commands from a master station.

To use the rear port with IEC60870-5-103 communication, the relevant settings to the protective
device must be configured.

10.3 IEC60870-5-103 Interface over Serial Port

The IEC60870-5-103 interface over serial port (RS-485) is a master/slave interface with the
protective device as the slave device. It is properly developed by NR.

The protective device conforms to compatibility level 3.

The following IEC60870-5-103 facilities are supported by this interface:

 Initialization (reset)

 Time synchronization

 Event record extraction

 General interrogation

 General commands

 Disturbance records

10.3.1 Physical Connection and Link Layer


Two EIA RS-485 standardized ports are available for IEC60870-5-103 in this protective device.
The transmission speed is optional: 4800 bit/s, 9600 bit/s, 19200 bit/s or 38400 bit/s.

The link layer strictly abides by the rules defined in the IEC60870-5-103.

10.3.2 Initialization
Whenever the protective device has been powered up, or if the communication parameters have
been changed, a reset command is required to initialize the communications. The protective
device will respond to either of the two reset commands (Reset CU or Reset FCB), the difference
is that the Reset CU will clear any unsent messages in the transmit buffer.

The protective device will respond to the reset command with an identification message ASDU 5,
the COT (Cause Of Transmission) of this response will be either Reset CU or Reset FCB
depending on the nature of the reset command.

10.3.3 Time Synchronization


The protective device time and date can be set using the time synchronization feature of the
IEC60870-5-103 protocol. The protective device will correct for the transmission delay as specified
in IEC60870-5-103. If the time synchronization message is sent as a send/confirm message then
the protective device will respond with a confirmation. Whether the time-synchronization message
is sent as a send confirmation or a broadcast (send/no reply) message, a time synchronization
class 1 event will be generated/produced.

If the protective device clock is synchronized using the IRIG-B input then it will not be possible to
set the protective device time using the IEC60870-5-103 interface. An attempt to set the time via
the interface will cause the protective device to create an event with the current date and time
taken from the IRIG-B synchronized internal clock.

10.3.4 Spontaneous Events


Events are categorized using the following information:

 Type identification (TYP)

 Function type (FUN)

 Information number (INF)

Messages sent to substation automation system are grouped according to IEC60870-5-103


protocol. Operating elements are sent by ASDU2 (time-tagged message with relative time), and
status of binary signal and alarm element are sent by ASDU1 (time-tagged message). The cause
of transmission (COT) of these responses is 1.

All spontaneous events can be gained by printing, implementing submenu “IEC103 Info” in the
menu “Print”.

10.3.5 General Interrogation


The GI can be used to read the status of the device, the function numbers, and information

numbers that will be returned during the GI cycle. The GI cycle strictly abides by the rules defined
in the IEC60870-5-103.

Refer the IEC60870-5-103 standard can get the enough details about general interrogation.

10.3.6 General Service


The generic functions can be used to read the setting and protection measurement of the
protective device, and modify the setting. Two supported type identifications are ASDU 21 and
ASDU 10. For more details about generic functions, see the IEC60870-5-103 standard.

All general classification service group numbers can be gained by printing, implementing submenu
“IEC103 Info” in the menu “Print”.

10.3.7 Disturbance Records


This protective device can store up to eight disturbance records in its memory. A pickup of the fault
detector or an operation of the device can make the protective device store the disturbance
records.

The disturbance records are stored in uncompressed format and can be extracted using the
standard mechanisms described in IEC60870-5-103.

All channel numbers (ACC) of disturbance data can be gained by printing, implementing submenu
“IEC103 Info” in the menu “Print”.

10.4.2 Communication profiles


The PCS-900 series device supports IEC 61850 server services over TCP/IP communication
protocol stacks. The TCP/IP profile requires the PCS-900 series to have an IP address to establish
communications. These addresses are located in the menu “Settings→Device Setup→Comm
Settings”.

1. MMS protocol

IEC 61850 specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper
(application) layer for transfer of real-time data. This protocol has been in existence for a number
of years and provides a set of services suitable for the transfer of data within a substation LAN
environment. IEC 61850-7-2 abstract services and objects are mapped to actual MMS protocol
services in IEC61850-8-1.

2. Client/server

This is a connection-oriented type of communication. The connection is initiated by the client, and
communication activity is controlled by the client. IEC61850 clients are often substation computers
running HMI programs or SOE logging software. Servers are usually substation equipment such
as protection devices, meters, RTUs, transformer, tap changers, or bay controllers.

3. Peer-to-peer

This is a non-connection-oriented, high speed type of communication usually between substation


equipment, such as protection devices, intelligent terminal. GOOSE is the method of peer-to-peer
communication.

4. Substation configuration language (SCL)

A substation configuration language is a number of files used to describe IED and communication

10 Communication

system realized according to IEC 61850-5 and IEC 61850-7. Each configured device has an IED
Capability Description (ICD) file and a Configured IED Description (CID) file. The substation single
line information is stored in a System Specification Description (SSD) file. The entire substation
configuration is stored in a Substation Configuration Description (SCD) file. The SCD file is the
combination of the individual ICD files and the SSD file, moreover, add communication system
parameters (MMS, GOOSE, control block, SV control block) and the connection relationship of
GOOSE and SV to SCD file.

10.4.3 Server data organization


IEC61850 defines an object-oriented approach to data and services. An IEC61850 physical device
can contain one or more logical device(s) (for proxy). Each logical device can contain many logical
nodes. Each logical node can contain many data objects. Each data object is composed of data
attributes and data attribute components. Services are available at each level for performing
various functions, such as reading, writing, control commands, and reporting.

Each IED represents one IEC61850 physical device. The physical device contains one or more
logical device(s), and the logical device contains many logical nodes. The logical node LPHD
contains information about the IED physical device. The logical node LLN0 contains common
information about the IED logical device.

10.4.3.1 Digital status values

The GGIO logical node is available in the PCS-900 series devices to provide access to digital
status points (including general I/O inputs and warnings) and associated timestamps and quality
flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO provides digital
status points for access by clients. It is intended that clients use GGIO in order to access digital
status values from the PCS-900 series devices. Clients can utilize the IEC61850 buffered
reporting features available from GGIO in order to build sequence of events (SOE) logs and HMI
display screens. Buffered reporting should generally be used for SOE logs since the buffering
capability reduces the chances of missing data state changes. All needed status data objects are
transmitted to HMI clients via buffered reporting, and the corresponding buffered reporting control
block (BRCB) is defined in LLN0.

10.4.3.2 Analog values

Most of analog measured values are available through the MMXU logical nodes, and metering
values in MMTR, the else in MMXN, MSQI and so on. Each MMXU logical node provides data
from a IED current/voltage “source”. There is one MMXU available for each configurable source.
MMXU1 provides data from CT/VT source 1(usually for protection purpose), and MMXU2 provides
data from CT/VT source 2 (usually for monitor and display purpose). All these analog data objects
are transmitted to HMI clients via unbuffered reporting periodically, and the corresponding
unbuffered reporting control block (URCB) is defined in LLN0. MMXUx logical nodes provide the
following data for each source:

 MMXU.MX.Hz: frequency

 MMXU.MX.PPV.phsAB: phase AB voltage magnitude and angle

10-8 PCS-992 Stability Controller


Date: 2013-07-26
10 Communication

 MMXU.MX.PPV.phsBC: phase BC voltage magnitude and angle

 MMXU.MX.PPV.phsCA: Phase CA voltage magnitude and angle

 MMXU.MX.PhV.phsA: phase AG voltage magnitude and angle

 MMXU.MX.PhV.phsB: phase BG voltage magnitude and angle

 MMXU.MX.PhV.phsC: phase CG voltage magnitude and angle

 MMXU.MX.A.phsA: phase A current magnitude and angle

 MMXU.MX.A.phsB: phase B current magnitude and angle

 MMXU.MX.A.phsC: phase C current magnitude and angle

10.4.3.3 LLN0 and other logical nodes

Logical node LLN0 is essential for an IEC61850 based IED. This LN shall be used to address
common issues for Logical Devices. Most of the public services, the common settings, control
values and some device oriented data objects are available here. The public services may be
BRCB, URCB and GSE control blocks and similar global defines for the whole device; the
common settings include all the setting items of communication settings. System settings and
some of the protection setting items, which can be configured to two or more protection elements
(logical nodes). In LLN0, the item Loc is a device control object, this Do item indicates the local
operation for complete logical device, when it is true, all the remote control commands to the IED
will be blocked and those commands make effective until the item Loc is changed to false. In
PCS-900 series devices, besides the logical nodes we describe above, there are some other
logical nodes below in the IEDs:

 MMXU: This LN shall be used to acquire values from CTs and VTs and calculate measurands
such as r.m.s. values for current and voltage or power flows out of the acquired voltage and
current samples. These values are normally used for operational purposes such as power
flow supervision and management, screen displays, state estimation, etc. The requested
accuracy for these functions has to be provided.

 LPHD: Physical device information, the logical node to model common issues for physical
device.

 RDRE: Disturbance recorder function. It triggers the fault wave recorder and its output refers
to the “IEEE Standard Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) for Power System”
(IEC 60255-24). All enabled channels are included in the recording, independently of the
trigger mode.

10.4.4 Server features and configuration


10.4.4.1 Buffered/unbuffered reporting

IEC61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting control blocks locate in LLN0, they can be configured
to transmit information of protection trip information (in the Protection logical nodes), binary status
values (in GGIO) and analog measured/calculated values (in MMXU, MMTR and MSQI). The
reporting control blocks can be configured in CID files, and then be sent to the IED via an

Date: 2013-07-26
10 Communication

IEC61850 client. The following items can be configured.

 TrgOps: Trigger options.

The following bits are supported by the PCS-900 series devices:

- Bit 1: Data-change

- Bit 4: Integrity

- Bit 5: General interrogation

 OptFlds: Option Fields.

The following bits are supported by the PCS-900 series devices:

- Bit 1: Sequence-number

- Bit 2: Report-time-stamp

- Bit 3: Reason-for-inclusion

- Bit 4: Data-set-name

- Bit 5: Data-reference

- Bit 7: EntryID (for buffered reports only)

- Bit 8: Conf-revision

- Bit 9: Segmentation

 IntgPd: Integrity period.

10.4.4.2 File transfer

MMS file services are supported to allow transfer of oscillography, event record or other files from
a PCS-900 series device.

10.4.4.3 Timestamps

The Universal Time Coordinated(UTC for short) timestamp associated with all IEC61850 data
items represents the lastest change time of either the value or quality flags of the data item.

10.4.4.4 Logical node name prefixes

IEC61850 specifies that each logical node can have a name with a total length of 11 characters.
The name is composed of:

 A five or six-character name prefix.

 A four-character standard name (for example, MMXU, GGIO, PIOC, etc.).

 A one or two-character instantiation index.

Complete names are of the form xxxxxxPTOC1, where the xxxxxx character string is configurable.
Details regarding the logical node naming rules are given in IEC61850 parts 6 and 7-2. It is

10-10 PCS-992 Stability Controller


Date: 2013-07-26
10 Communication

recommended that a consistent naming convention be used for an entire substation project.

10.4.4.5 GOOSE services

IEC61850 specifies the type of broadcast data transfer services: Generic Object Oriented
Substation Events (GOOSE). IEC61850 GOOSE services provide virtual LAN (VLAN) support,
Ethernet priority tagging, and Ether-type Application ID configuration. The support for VLANs and
priority tagging allows for the optimization of Ethernet network traffic. GOOSE messages can be
given a higher priority than standard Ethernet traffic, and they can be separated onto specific
VLANs. Devices that transmit GOOSE messages also function as servers. Each GOOSE
publisher contains a “GOOSE control block” to configure and control the transmission.

The GOOSE transmission (including subscribing and publishing) is controlled by GOOSE link
settings in device.

The PCS-900 series devices support IEC61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Event
(GOOSE) communication. All GOOSE messages contain IEC61850 data collected into a dataset.
It is this dataset that is transferred using GOOSE message services. The GOOSE related dataset
is configured in the CID file and it is recommended that the fixed GOOSE be used for
implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between PCS-900 series devices.

IEC61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be
correct to achieve the successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the
transmission and reception devices are an exact match in terms of data structure, and that the
GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly.

modules, bus backplanes are sensitive to electrostatic discharge when not in the unit's
housing.

The basic precautions to guard against electrostatic discharge are as follows:

 Should boards have to be removed from this device installed in a grounded cubicle in an HV
switchgear installation, please discharge yourself by touching station ground (the cubicle)
beforehand.

 Only hold electronic boards at the edges, taking care not to touch the components.

 Only works on boards that have been removed from the cubicle on a workbench designed for
electronic equipment and wear a grounded wristband. Do not wear a grounded wristband,
however, while inserting or withdrawing units.

 Always store and ship the electronic boards in their original packing. Place electronic parts in
electrostatic screened packing materials.

11.3 Checking Shipment

In the case of equipment supplied in cubicles, place the cubicles on the foundations that have
been prepared. Take care while doing so not to jam or otherwise damage any of the cables that
have already been installed. Secure the cubicles to the foundations.

11.7 Electrical Installation and Wiring


11.7.1 Grounding Guidelines
Switching operations in HV installations generate transient over voltages on control signal cables.
There is also a background of electromagnetic RF fields in electrical installations that can induce
spurious currents in the devices themselves or the leads connected to them.

All these influences can influence the operation of electronic apparatus.

On the other hand, electronic apparatus can transmit interference that can disrupt the operation of
other apparatus.

In order to minimize these influences as far as possible, certain standards have to be observed
with respect to grounding, wiring and screening.

Note!

All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.

11.7.2 Cubicle Grounding


The cubicle must be designed and fitted out such that the impedance for RF interference of the
ground path from the electronic device to the cubicle ground terminal is as low as possible.

Metal accessories such as side plates, blanking plates etc., must be effectively connected
surface-to-surface to the grounded frame to ensure a low-impedance path to ground for RF
interference. The contact surfaces must not only conduct well, they must also be non-corroding.

Note!

If the above conditions are not fulfilled, there is a possibility of the cubicle or parts of it

11-4 PCS-992 Stability Controller


Date: 2013-07-28
11 Installation

forming a resonant circuit at certain frequencies that would amplify the transmission of
interference by the devices installed and also reduce their immunity to induced interference.

Movable parts of the cubicle such as doors (front and back) or hinged equipment frames must be
effectively grounded to the frame by three braided copper strips (see Figure 11.7-1).

The metal parts of the cubicle housing and the ground rail are interconnected electrically
conducting and corrosion proof. The contact surfaces shall be as large as possible.

Note!

For metallic connections please observe the voltage difference of both materials according
to the electrochemical code.

The cubicle ground rail must be effectively connected to the station ground rail by a grounding strip
(braided copper).

11.7.3 Ground Connection on the Device


There is a ground terminal on the rear panel, and the ground braided copper strip can be
connected with it. Take care that the grounding strip is always as short as possible. The main thing
is that the device is only grounded at one point. Grounding loops from unit to unit are not allowed.

There are some ground terminals on some connectors of this device, and the sign is “GND”. All the
ground terminals are connected in the cabinet of this device. So, the ground terminal on the rear
panel (see Figure 11.7-2) is the only ground terminal of this device.

11 Installation

Figure 11.7-2 Ground terminal of this device

11.7.4 Grounding Strips and their Installation


High frequency currents are produced by interference in the ground connections and because of
skin effect at these frequencies, only the surface region of the grounding strips is of consequence.

The grounding strips must therefore be of (preferably tinned) braided copper and not round copper
conductors, as the cross-section of round copper would have to be too large.

Proper terminations must be fitted to both ends (press/pinch fit and tinned) with a hole for bolting
them firmly to the items to be connected.

The surfaces to which the grounding strips are bolted must be electrically conducting and
non-corroding.

The following figure shows the ground strip and termination.

11.7.5 Guidelines for Wiring


There are several types of cables that are used in the connection of this device: braided copper
cable, serial communication cable etc. Recommendation of each cable:

 Grounding: braided copper cable, 2.5mm2 ~ 6.0mm2

 Power supply, binary inputs & outputs: brained copper cable, 1.0mm2 ~ 2.5mm2

 AC voltage inputs: brained copper cable, 1.0mm2 ~ 2.5mm2

 AC current inputs: brained copper cable, 1.5mm2 ~ 4.0mm2

 Serial communication: 4-core shielded braided cable

 Ethernet communication: 4-pair screened twisted category 5E cable

12.5.1.4 Auxiliary Power Supply

The device only can be operated under the auxiliary power supply depending on the device’s
nominal power supply rating.

The incoming voltage must be within the operating range specified in Chapter “Technical Data”,
before energizing the device, measure the auxiliary supply to ensure it within the operating range.

Other requirements to the auxiliary power supply are specified in Chapter “Technical Data”. See
this section for further details about the parameters of the power supply.

WARNING!

Energize this device only if the power supply is within the specified operating ranges in
Chapter “Technical Data”.

12.5.2 With the Device Energized


The following groups of checks verify that the device hardware and software is functioning
correctly and should be carried out with the auxiliary supply applied to the device.

PCS-992 Stability Controller 12-5


Date: 2013-07-28
12 Commissioning

The current and voltage transformer connections must remain isolated from the device for these
checks. The trip circuit should also remain isolated to prevent accidental operation of the
associated circuit breaker.

12.5.2.1 Front Panel LCD Display

Connect the device to DC power supply correctly and turn the device on. Check program version
and forming time displayed in command menu to ensure that are corresponding to what ordered.

12.5.2.2 Date and Time

If the time and date is not being maintained by substation automation system, the date and time
should be set manually.

Set the date and time to the correct local time and date using menu item “Clock”.

In the event of the auxiliary supply failing, with a battery fitted on CPU board, the time and date will
be maintained. Therefore when the auxiliary supply is restored the time and date will be correct
and not need to set again.

To test this, remove the auxiliary supply from the device for approximately 30s. After being
re-energized, the time and date should be correct.

12.5.2.3 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

On power up, the green LED “HEALTHY” should have illuminated and stayed on indicating that
the device is healthy.

The device has latched signal devices which remember the state of the trip, auto-reclose when the
device was last energized from an auxiliary supply. Therefore these indicators may also illuminate
when the auxiliary supply is applied. If any of these LEDs are on then they should be reset before
proceeding with further testing. If the LED successfully reset, the LED goes out. There is no testing
required for that that LED because it is known to be operational.

It is likely that alarms related to voltage transformer supervision will not reset at this stage.

12.5.2.4 Testing HEALTHY and ALARM LEDs

Apply the rated DC power supply and check that the “HEALTHY” LED is lighting in green. We
need to emphasize that the “HEALTHY” LED is always lighting in operation course except that the
equipment find serious errors in it.

Produce one of the abnormal conditions listed in Chapter “Supervision”, the “ALARM” LED will
light in yellow. When abnormal condition reset, the “ALARM” LED extinguishes.

However, these checks can only be carried out if there are no restrictions preventing the
tenderization of the plant being protected.

Remove all test leads, temporary shorting leads, etc. and replace any external wiring that has
been removed to allow testing.

If it has been necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to
perform any of the foregoing tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in
accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram. Confirm current and voltage
transformer wiring.

12.6 Final Checks

After the above tests are completed, remove all test or temporary shorting leads, etc. If it has been
necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protection in order to perform the
wiring verification tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in accordance with
the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.

Ensure that the protection has been restored to service.

If the protection is in a new installation or the circuit breaker has just been maintained, the circuit
breaker maintenance and current counters should be zero. If a test block is installed, remove the
test plug and replace the cover so that the protection is put into service.

Ensure that all event records, fault records, disturbance records and alarms have been cleared
and LED’s has been reset before leaving the protection.

13 Maintenance

NR numerical device PCS-992 is designed to require no special maintenance. All measurement


and signal processing circuit are fully solid state. All input modules are also fully solid state. The
output devices are hermetically sealed.

Since the device is almost completely self-monitored, from the measuring inputs to the output
devices, hardware and software defects are automatically detected and reported. The
self-monitoring ensures the high availability of the device and generally allows for a corrective
rather than preventive maintenance strategy. Therefore, maintenance checks in short intervals are
not required.

Operation of the device is automatically blocked when a hardware failure is detected. If a problem
is detected in the external measuring circuits, the device normally only provides alarm messages.

13.1 Appearance Check


1. The device case should be clean without any dust stratification. Case cover should be sealed
well. No component has any mechanical damage and distortion, and they should be firmly fixed in
the case. Device terminals should be in good condition. The keys on the front panel with very good
feeling can be operated flexibly.

2. It is only allowed to plug or withdraw device board when the supply is reliably switched off.
Never allow the CT secondary circuit connected to this equipment to be opened while the primary
system is live when withdrawing an AC module. Never try to insert or withdraw the device board
when it is unnecessary.

3. Check weld spots on PCB whether they are well soldered without any rosin joint. All dual
inline components must be well plugged.

13.2 Failure Tracing And Repair


Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.

When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued and the failure is indicated on
the front panel with LED indicators and LCD display. It is also recorded in the event record.
Failures detected by supervision are traced by checking the “Superv Events” screen on the LCD.

When a failure is detected during regular testing, confirm the following:

 Test circuit connections are correct

 Modules are securely inserted in position

 Correct DC power voltage is applied

 Correct AC inputs are applied

 Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual

13.3 Replace Failed Modules


If the failure is identified to be in the device module and the user has spare modules, the user can

PCS-992 Stability Controller 13-1

13 Maintenance

recover the protection by replacing the failed modules.

Repair at the site should be limited to module replacement. Maintenance at the component level is
not recommended.

Check that the replacement module has an identical module name (AI, PWR, CPU, SIG, BI, BO,
etc.) and hardware type-form as the removed module. Furthermore, the CPU module replaced
should have the same software version. In addition, the AI and PWR module replaced should have
the same ratings.

The module name is indicated on the top front of the module. The software version is indicated in
LCD menu “Version Info”.

Caution!

When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an earthed wrist band
and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise, many of the electronic
components could suffer damage. After replacing the CPU module, check the settings.

1) Replacing a module

 Switch off the DC power supply

 Disconnect the trip outputs

 Short circuit all AC current inputs and disconnect all AC voltage inputs

 Unscrew the module.
