Easergy Flair 200C

Introduction

Everywhere in the world, poor quality of electric power supply is no

longer accepted by consumers. In many countries, regulatory standards
have therefore been established to ensure a minimum quality of service
for electricity.
Of the many indexes, those most commonly used are:
SAIDI: standard average interruption duration index - e.g.: 96 minutes/year
SAIFI: standard average interruption frequency index - e.g.: 1.2 interruptions/year.
For power supply companies, the increase in quality of service must go hand-in-hand with an improvement in performance
and competitiveness and control of capital expenditure.
For an optimum response to these needs, power distribution companies are demanding new products and solutions to allow:

Improved reliability :

Efficiency improvement of power distribution:

Reduction in the duration of power cuts in the

event of incidents on the network (SAIDI)

Quality control of distributed voltage: measurement, alarms and

traceability

Reduction in the number of faults: e.g. through

monitoring of MV/LV transformers

Optimization of the network operating plan based on exhaustive data

concerning the network load.

Monitoring and improvement in the quality of

power: performance tools for fault analysis.

Capital expenditure optimisation:

Reduction in direct and indirect

operation costs:

Have precise, reliable data to define changes and investment planning

concerning the MV network load, transformer outgoer or LV outgoer
Safeguard network equipment through preventive actions.

Reduction in response times in the event of

incidents

Easergy products and solutions meet these objectives by providing you

with reliable, maintenance-free equipment that is easy to operate.

Reduction in substation inspection campaigns

for maintenance and measurement campaigns

Schneider Electric is constantly looking for new solutions to simplify the

operation of MV networks.

Vehicule charge (fuel consumption). It will

allow you to participate in the reduction of
CO2 emissions.

Easergy Flair 200C

Fault passage indicators

Easergy Flair 200C detects phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth fault

currents on networks with resistor-earthed, directly earthed or isolated
neutral, and compensated system without voltage measurement.
In the case of compensated (Petersen coil earthed neutral) networks, the value of the earth fault is low relative to the value of
the capacitive currents. As a consequence, conventional ammetric detection cannot be used. Easergy Flair 200C uses a new
Insensitive to Capacitive Currents detection technology.
To enhance the reliability of the information transmitted, detection of a fault current is confirmed by loss of the network.
The network loss information is generated either from the voltage failure information processed based on the power supply,
or from the load current on the line. Two fault current detection algorithms are available in the Easergy Flair 200C catalogue:

Ammetric detector (AMP)

Insensitive to Capacitive Currents (ICC) detector

For networks with resistor-earthed, directly

earthed and isolated neutral

The principle of the ICC detector is based on similarity analysis of phase

and earth fault currents to distinguish between an upstream earth fault
current and a downstream fault without voltage measurement.

Permanent phase-to-phase and phase-toearth faults: triggering threshold confirmed by

an acknowledge time and network loss
(Fast) phase-to-phase and transient phase-toearth faults (not confirmed by network loss)
Each type of fault has an associated counter
that can provide relevant information
concerning the number of faults for
maintenance

The ICC algorithm is used on resonance earth. The principle of the ICC
algorithm can also be used with networks with directly earthed and
impedance-earthed neutral, if the value of the capacitive currents is
significant relative to the value
of the earth fault current.
Permanent phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth faults: tripping threshold
confirmed by an acknowledge time and network loss
Fault validation by network loss from the load current

Fault confirmation by network loss

Operation on network with sustained fault or not.

Inrush filtering function at power up to

prevent untimely detection when switching on
loads.

Easergy Flair 200C is also available without the fault detection option.

Archives, indications and alerts for optimum operation

and maintenance
All internal data (variables) and data coming from equipment connected to the Modbus local area network can be recorded
with time stamping.
This information can be transmitted to the remote control centre and/or archived in logs for consultation and downloading (in
the form of .xls files), by connecting a microcomputer locally or remotely.

Variable recording criteria:

Events: information transmitted to the SCADA system
These variables are recorded in the events log. They are transmitted to the remote control centre according to the protocol
exchange conditions
Alarms: spontaneous transmission
These variables are recorded in the alarm log. They trigger spontaneous dial-up to the remote control centre and can send
an SMS or an email according to the configuration
System: can be consulted locally, is designed for operation and maintenance: storing in memory of transmission events,
transmission errors, change of system configuration, etc.

For all the logs, when the maximum storage capacity is reached, the most
recent event erases the oldest event.

Easergy Flair 200C

Programmable automation system

The Flair 200C is fitted with various devices allowing to perform specific
tailored functions or applications:
Calculation formulas available as a standard feature in the equipment.
An IEC 61131-3 programmable logic controller available as an option, and including a RTU control programming workshop
and a possible communication between equipment.

EM100043EN

Calculation formulas
The calculation formulas are available as a standard feature in the Flair
200C.They can be used in the Flair 200C to create relatively simple logic
equations not requiring a programme to be written in PLC language.

Example
Typical applications that can be created with
the calculation formulas:
Calculation of analogue values to
determine averages, alarms or any other
calculation based on variables.
Combinations of variables, such as:
-- Combining phase and neutral faults
rather than indicating them separately
-- Defining a synthesis of internal faults
-- Managing other equipment of the MV
substation such as the light control,
etc.
Use of a Digital Output (DO) for external
indication of earth fault and/or phase fault
presence.

These formulas can be used to create logic equations based on

combinations of variables more simply than a PLC programme. The
variable types that can be used are the same as for PLC programmes
(existing variables or virtual variables created specifically).
The following functions can be incorporated in the formulas:
Mathematical functions: absolute value, square root, natural logarithm,
base-10 logarithms, exponentials, powers, integer part, etc.
Statistical functions: smallest and largest values, sum and average of
values, etc.
Logic functions: set duration pulse, status copy after a set time, status hold
for a set time, etc.
Time/date functions: current date and time, character string converted
into date and time, time between two executions of formulas, test whether
current day is a working day, etc.
Other functions: values bounded by min and max, delta between previous
and current value.

Communication between equipment

The programmable automation system option also includes a complementary function for communication between equipment
including a Modbus exchange via a TCP/IP link between Flair 200Cs and/or T200s connected on the same MV loop.
This communication allows the exchange of a data table between these Flair 200Cs and/or T200s. This communication
between equipment is typically used for self-healing network applications.
A specific page on the Flair 200C server is used to define the exchange table and this functions operating parameters.

Communication

Open to all SCADA systems

Easergy Flair 200C can manage both a serial type protocol and IP protocols (Example: IEC 870-5-101 and IEC 870-5-104).
It is thus possible to mix serial and IP transmission media on a given application.
Two versions or two different protocols are embedded (e.g. IEC 101/104 and DNP3), thereby allowing switch over the other
protocol in total security.

A communications catalogue that is constantly enriched:

IEC 870-5-101 and
IEC 870-5-104 protocols
Two transmission modes are available for each
configuration:
Asymmetric (Master/Slave mode)
Symmetric (Master/Master mode)(1)

DNP3 serial and TCP protocols(2)

Level supported for commands and replies: 3
Transmission in Master/Slave mode if
unsolicited response operation is not used

SCADA
Communication networks:
GSM/GPRS, Ethernet, PSTN, Radio...

Transmission in Master/Master mode(1) if this

type of operation is used.

protocols, etc

Transmission in Master/Slave mode

Transmission in Master/Master mode(1) with
the report by exception function.

Modbus/Modbus TCP protocol RS485

or Ethernet

Other proprietary protocols

We have extensive experience of interoperability
of our protocols via our numerous projects
worldwide (contact us).

Example of communication network and protocols

(1) Master-Master: this option is used to limit exchanges with non-permanent transmission media (Radio, GSM, GPRS, PSTN). A device
speaks only when it has something to say. On the other hand, the SCADA no longer controls the data flow and collisions between messages
can occur when several devices take control to speak at the same time. Easergy Flair 200C includes collision avoidance algorithms to deal
with this problem.
(2) In GPRS, the protocols manage the Permanent or Semi-permanent transmission mode. The Modbus TCP/IP and DNP IP protocols can
also manage the transmission mode Non permanent serving to limit data flows.
