Smarter Substation Substation + The Latest Information Technologies Focusing on secondary devices (protective relay, CT/PT) commonly called IEDs (Intelligence Electronic Device). Layer-3 Ethernet switches and TCP/IP (instead of serial comm.) IEC61850 (Trend of application protocol). Substation applications have to utilize real-time information as much as possible. The old smart substation s applications normally use only DI/DO and can not utilize AI which maybe required for very fast decision such as 3-bays BTO.

Smart Substation for Smart Grid Because of TCP/IP, Switch, IEC61850 technologies Supporting future grid applications in scale of baylevel response time (4ms by native GOOSE, super fast for grid level) by using VLAN across WAN. GOOSE/UDP is coming for across network via gateways /firewalls. Making us can share communication infrastructure such as fiber-optic cores. For Example,in the past, we had to use dedicated cores and PLCs for LTF (Line Transfer Function between substations)

IEC61850 Experiences SCADA HMI CCU#1 Our protective relay handles automatic, control, interlocking, metering and protection functions, but actually any protective relay has its limitation and also differ from other vendors. e.g. logic-gate capacity, processing time and functionalities giving us several difficulties and deviations from our technical specification. Protection & Control Protection & Control CCU#2 Protection & Control Station Gateway TDS The main point is that we have to require specific protective Station relays bus for sparing due to it is almost impossible for replacing by othervendor in no time.

IEC61850 Experiences To maintain SA as easy as possible easily changing a relay with the minimal time. easily procuring a relay as spare from multi-vendors. needing the minimal number of maintenance guys and knowledge for maintaining. Purposed Solutions allocating the fewest functions to each device as much as possible. purchasing size of a relay as small as possible. More bigger more difference of capabilities among vendors such as a number of reports, a number of logic gates, a number of CSWI, number of physical I/O. Consequently, in the case of the full capacity implementation of a relay, It may not be able to put all same functions of the relay to other relay of other vendor resulting in maintenance difficulties.

Number of Physical I/Os Misunderstanding, proposed protective relays from a contractor may have not enough physical I/Os to support protection schemes with high reliability resulting in changing new protective relays and causing a project delay. During issue of the technical specification, MEA has found that one of the most important points is to specify minimal number of physical I/O of any protective relay to support the required functionality making bidders have the clearest view of what protective relays be proposed to MEA. Figure 2 shows two solutions that can do same functions, but they have different reliability level from serial and parallel arrangements.

Sim Box During the installation process of the SA devices in an existing substation, all the automatic, control and metering functions have to be tested to assure correct functioning when put in services. Due to shutdown time may be not long enough or difficult to fully perform all equipment tests causing project delay. Consequently, MEA has to use plant simulation boxes acting as substation equipments for testing all functions shown as Figure 4. Therefore the needed shutdown time of such substation is as short as the required time for checking equipment connections whether are correct Switchgear still is on service New Control Cable Plant Simulation Box
