3. System Design
The SAS is designed considering the functional requirements ARS METALS
LIMITED Technical Specification along with the pre-bid clarifications and the
deviations we had taken in our offer. The relevant sections of ARS METALS
LIMITED Technical specification (Doc No:400-ENG-8945-001) are:
Section – Technical Specification for 200kV switchyard, Substation
Automation System (SAS) Section 16.2, of M/s ARS Metals limited, 1x60 MW
Coal Based Power Plant- Gummidipoondi, Tamil Nadu.
The SAS is suitable for operation and monitoring of the complete substation
including future extensions as given in relevant Section. It supports remote
control and monitoring from Remote Control Centre through Communication
Gateways using IEC 60870-5-101 protocol and OPC protocol to communicate
with DCS.
The SAS comprises full station and bay protection as well as control,
monitoring and communication functions and provides all functions required
for the safe and reliable operation of the 220 kV Substation.
3.1. System Architecture

For safety and availability reasons the SAS is based on a decentralized
architecture and on a concept of bay-oriented, distributed intelligence.
Functions are decentralized, object-oriented and located as close to the
process as possible.
The SAS layout is structured in two levels:
Station level
Bay level.
Please refer the system architecture (Doc No. YN1M301909-CZM)
3.1.1. Station Level

A redundant Operator Workstation PC enables station control through the
software package MicroSCADA Pro, which contains an extensive range of
SCADA functions.
The communication gateway feature enables the information exchange with

remote control centre.The inter-bay bus provides independent station-to-bay
and bay-to-bay data exchange.

The system can be extended both physically and functionally without affecting
the original application. It has a unique user-friendly definition language
(SCIL) that facilitates integration of the system by the users themselves,
without detailed knowledge of real-time systems.
An authorization mechanism prevents system access to unauthorized users

and allows assignment of a number of authorization levels. This makes
certain functions accessible only to those users who have the required level of
authorization.
The reports and graphics will be printed on the Laser printer connected to the
system over the Ethernet LAN.
A dedicated GPS master clock is provided for the synchronization of the entire
system. This master clock is independent of the station computers and
gateways, and it synchronizes all devices via the-inter bay bus.
3.1.2. Bay Level

A bay comprises of one circuit breaker and associated disconnectors, earth
switches and instrument transformers. At bay level, the IEDs provide all bay
level functions like control (command outputs), monitoring (status indications,
measured values) and protection. The IEDs are directly connected to the
switchgear without any need for additional interposing or transducers.
Each bay control and protection IED is independent of the others and its
functioning is not affected by any fault occurring in any of the other bay control
and protection units of the station. Control function of the bay will be a part of
protection IED.
The data exchange among bay level IEDs, and between bay level and station
level take place via the fiber-optic inter bay bus according to IEC 61850-8-1
standard. The use of fiber-optic LAN guarantees disturbance-free
communication.
Though, at station level, the entire station is controlled and supervised from
the station HMI which is inbuilt feature of the HMI, it is possible to control and
monitor the bay from the bay level equipment, whenever required. The
decentralized architecture ensures that station wide interlocking is available
even when the station computer fails.
Clear control priorities prevent the initiation of simultaneous operation of a

single switch from more than one of the various control levels, i.e.
RCC/RLDC, station level, bay level or apparatus level. The priority is on the

lowest enabled control level. The operation also depends on the status of
other functions like interlocking, synchrocheck, etc., as applicable.
4. System Description
Ethernet switches are provided for connecting the IEDs in the bay level
catering the requirements. The connection from each IED to the switch is by
a single fiber optic link. The switches are connected in a fault tolerant ring at
the station level, two Ethernet switches used in control room to connect the
redundant HMI working on Hot Standby mode, Gateways, DR/Engineering
workstation and other station level equipment.
In a decentralized architecture the functionality is provided as close to the

process as possible. In this respect, the following functions are allocated at
bay level:
Bay control and monitoring functions

4.1.2 Tripping logic and Trip Matrix Logic (PTRC, 94)

A function block for protection tripping is provided for each circuit breaker
involved in the tripping of the fault. It provides the pulse prolongation to
ensure a trip pulse of sufficient length, as well as all functionality necessary
for correct co-operation with auto reclosing functions. The trip function block
includes functionality for evolving faults and breaker lock-out.
Twelve trip matrix logic blocks are included in the IED. The function blocks are
used in the configuration of the IED to route trip signals and/or other logical
output signals to the different output relays. The matrix and the physical
outputs will be seen in the PCM600 engineering tool and this allows the user
to adapt the signals to the physical tripping outputs according to the specific
application needs.
A high number of logic blocks and timers are available to adapt the
configuration to the specific application needs.
As in the case of line bays, these LNs are hardwired inputs and outputs of the
control and protection IEDs

GOOSE is an acronym for Generic Object Orientated System-wide
Events. It aims to replace the conventional hardwired logic necessary for
intra-IED coordination with station bus communications
It is a mechanism for the fast transmission of substation events, such as

commands, alarms, indications, as messages.
A GOOSE message sent by one IED can be received and used by several
other IEDs.

4.5.1. Description of Station protection functionality

The protection algorithms are based on two well-proven measuring principles,
which have been applied successfully in earlier ABB low impedance bus bar
protection systems:
stabilized differential current measurement
determination of phase relationship between feeder currents (phase

comparison)
Any DC component and harmonics are suppressed. The first measuring

principle uses a stabilized differential current algorithm. The currents are
evaluated individually for each of the phases and each section of bus bar.
4.6. Station Level Functions

The hardware of the station level system provided for the 220kV Control room
consists of the following:
Redundant Operator Workstation
DR cum Engineering workstation
Gateway
Communication Infrastructure-Fiber optic Ethernet LAN for station level

and inter bay communication
A GPS receiver as the time master
Laser printer for graphic printouts
Dot matrix printer (DMP) for alarms and events
The station level functions (Logical Nodes) provided are:
Operator Interface (IHMI)
Remote Control Interface (ITCI)
Archiving (IARC) for long term historical data
Disturbance data evaluation (RDRS)

Time Master (STIM)
System supervision (SSYS)
Redundant HMI Operator Workstation with station level HMI include two full
graphic screens, special user functions such as station single line diagram,
overviews, control of circuit breakers and isolators, alarm lists and event lists,
logging of historical data for trends and reports.
The system will be controlled with the help of a mouse and keyboard. If
required, system engineering can also be done from the Station HMI. The
reports and graphics will be printed on the Laser printer.
The communication to the remote control center uses IEC 60870-5-101

protocol with the remote control centers as the masters and the local
gateways as the slaves. It is possible to control and monitor the local station
from the remote control center, with priority being assigned. The
communication media to the RLDC and DCS system is to be provided by ARS
METALS LIMTED.
4.6.1. Redundant HMI Operator Workstation and Gateways

The redundant Operator workstation PCs with Microsoft Windows XP or
Windows 7 operating system will be loaded with MicroSCADAPro software.
Monitoring and controlling of the station is through operator workstation with
21” TFT monitors by the use of project specific pictures. A mouse is used to
move the cursor and thus navigate on and between picture pages. The PCs
work on 230 V AC power supply.
The operator interface is based upon a hierarchical set of menu pages, which
provide access to overview, alarm list, event list and other pages. An
authorization mechanism prevents system access of unauthorized users and
also allows assignment of a number of authorization levels. This makes
certain functions accessible only to users who have been granted the required
level of authorization.
Gateway is provided for remote control and monitoring. Gateway has one
serial port. Serial port will be used to communicate to the RLDC. All the
communication channels will be provided by ARS METALS LIMTED. The
protocol for communication to the RLDC is IEC 60870-5-101 and for DCS is
OPC Protocol.
The communication gateways allow scanning and control of defined points

within the SAS independently for control center. The gateway will respond
simultaneously to scan requests from both control centers.

4.6.2. Communication Infrastructure

The communication infrastructure consists of fiber optic cables, managed,
switched Ethernet LAN in a fault tolerant ring configuration. This LAN is used
for both station level and inter-bay communications. The communication
protocol conforms to IEC 61850-8-1 standard. Ethernet switch is provided,
with the IEDs connected to the switch using fiber optic cables. The main
features of the Ethernet switches used are listed below:
High speed (100 Mbps) operation
Glass fiber optic cables with ST connectors
Dual redundant power supplies for increased network availability
Designed for harsh environment – exceeds IEC 61850-3 requirements

for use in electrical substations
Operates up to a temperature of 85 C without the use of fans
Full compliance with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u Ethernet standards
for universal interoperability
Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1w) for fault tolerance with
fast recovery times (<5ms)
Quality of service / Class of service (IEEE 802.1p) for prioritization of

traffic (real time traffic for software interlocks)
Virtual LAN (IEEE 802.1Q) for traffic segregation
SNMP for network management
SNTP for time synchronization of the Ethernet switches
4.6.3. Time Synchronization

The time master is a GPS receiver provided in the SAS. The GPS receiver is
connected to the Ethernet LAN and it synchronizes all the IEDs, the
redundant HMIs and the remote communication gateways directly. In
conformance with the IEC 61850 standards, SNTP protocol is used for time
synchronization function.

4.6.4. DR cum Engineering Workstation (DR/EWS)

A PC running with Windows 7 or Windows XP operating system along with
the disturbance evaluation software acts as DR cum Engineering Workstation.
The application server automatically downloads the DR data from the IEDs.
The downloading of DR data can also be done manually on operator’s
request.
The operator or protection engineer can access these DR files and analyze
them using the DR evaluation software. The disturbance waveforms are
printed on the color laser printer.
4.7. Operator Interface functions

The operator interface is based on MicroSCADA Pro (SYS600) software that
runs on Windows 7 or Windows XP operating system. SYS 600 software
consists of the basic functions needed to monitor and control substations.
Application pictures are used to visualize the supervised processes. There are
many different types of application pictures: single line diagrams, process
pictures, system supervision, lists, application tools, measurement reports and
trend reports. Generally, only one application picture is presented within one
monitor (Monitor Pro). The opening of another function closes or hides the
previous one. However, several monitors can be opened to the same
application. Each user can modify the layout of Monitor Pro. The user specific
layout is saved when the user logs out and it is loaded when the user logs into
the application.
The system specific start picture is the first picture displayed when Monitor
Pro is started. When Monitor Pro starts, it requires login before the session
can continue (see Figure7) The Close button in the login dialog closes
the login dialog but not Monitor Pro.

Figure 8: Monitor Pro Login dialog (Typical)
4.7.1. User login

In the login dialog, there is a combo box, in which the current "HOT"
applications are shown. The start picture requests a user name and
password. Each user is associated with a certain user profile defined by the
system manager.
The password is not displayed on the screen. If the user name and the
password do not match, or the user name does not exist, the login dialog
reappears and you can make a new attempt. Each attempt to log in is
registered by the system, even those that are failed.
If the login succeeds, the substation overview picture is produced on the

screen. All operations subsequently performed on the Monitor Pro, are related
to the authority profile associated with the user name. The user name is also
included in as an identifier in the event register when certain manual
operations are performed.
4.7.2. Logout
In Monitor Pro, logout means that the user name and user authority are
cleared. The user is logged out when:

Automatic time based logout is done by Monitor Pro
The MicroSCADA application state is changed from "HOT" to "WARM"

or "COLD"
The MicroSCADA OPC DA server or MicroSCADA service is stopped
4.7.2.1. Time based Logout

After a certain predefined time, e.g. 8 hours, an automatic logout is done. The
logout duration is defined in the Application Settings, i.e. the setting is user
specific. The user has to login again via the Login dialog.
4.7.3. Application Settings

An Application Settings picture can be given new settings by selecting
Options-Settings in the main menu bar. Only a user with rights on level 5
(system manager) can change the application settings. It is used to create
some application specific settings such as:
Application owner: the name of the customer to whom this product is

licensed (in this case – ARS METALS LIMITED). The name of the
application owner cannot be changed in the Application settings
picture.
First picture shown after login: defines the first picture that pops up
after a user logs in.
System location: this defines whether the MicroSCADA is running as a

Network Control Centre (NCC) or a Substation Control System (SCS).
Lockout duration: this sets the session length. When the lockout
duration time expires, the authorization level is reset to View (0). The
lockout duration time is given in hours (from 1 to 254). The session
duration can be activated or deactivated.
Show object ID: this defines the parts of the Object Identity attributes
that are to be shown in Alarm lists, Event lists and dialogs.
HD space alarm: Hard Disk Supervision function supervises the free

Hard Disk space. This function gives the operator an early warning if

there is a risk of running out of space on the hard disk. The supervision
function is stopped when the limit is set to zero.
Report Settings: this is used to define, among others, the base period
for the reports (15, 30 or 60 minutes) and the history length (1 year to 5
years). These settings are valid for the entire application and changing
these later will erase the existing history data.
The application settings being used for this project are:
Application owner – ARS METALS LIMITED
First picture – Substation overview (220 kV)
System location – Substation Control System
Lockout duration – 8 hours
HD space alarm – 100 MB

4.7.4. User Management

The user with rights on level 5 (system manager) can make changes in the User
Management function. In the SYS 600 applications the standard functions in the
process pictures can be freely grouped into authorization groups. This means that a
user can have different authorization levels for different apparatus. Users can also
be defined to have different authorization levels for different tools; substations etc.
(see Figure 9).
Figure 10: Example of Authorization profile
View (0) level: The user is allowed to view the substation status, but is
not authorized to make any control operations, or to use the
programming and system configuration tools.
Control (1) level: The user is allowed to make control operations, but
he has no access to the engineering and system configuration tools.
Engineering (2) level: The user is granted all rights for control,
engineering and system configuration, except system management.

System management (5) level: The user is granted all rights including
the rights to add and remove users. Only one user can be granted this
authorization level.
The number of users and their authorization levels will be decided during the
detailed engineering stage. The system manager can add and remove users
and user groups as well as change the authorization levels. All users can
change their own passwords.
4.7.5. Process Display

The Process Display is a view, which is displayed when the user is logged
into an application. The process displays appear on the MicroSCADA Pro
Monitor. They contain information on the status of the process in the form of
Single Line Diagrams (SLD) having graphical objects with dynamic behavior.
Process displays in the MicroSCADA Pro Monitor contain the functionality for
zooming, panning and de-cluttering of displays.
The user interacts with the MicroSCADA system through the control dialogs
accessed from the process display. Only those users, who belong to certain
user groups, are allowed to execute control operations towards the process
devices of the MicroSCADA system.
The SAS will have the 220kV substation SLD as the main process display
(see Figure 10). The substation SLD will have the following information.
Status of all circuit breakers and isolators
Bus voltages and frequency
Line current, voltage, active power, reactive power and power factor
Transformer tap position
Control mode (Station/Remote) of the substation
Control mode (Local/Remote) of each bay
Bus bar coloring to identify powered, non powered and earthed

segments of the SLD
It is also possible to control the switchgears and the transformer tap position
from this picture. Further, it provides access to other pictures like event list,
alarm list, trends and reports.

4.7.5.1. Display Builder

Display Builder is the picture editor in MicroSCADA that is used to create
complete graphical interfaces. You can define the graphical appearance of
objects in your interface, describe the data they will display, and specify their
dynamic behavior. The drawing process requires no programming. Drawings
are easy to create and edit directly in the drawing area, and dialogs let you
control all aspects of the editing process, including assigning display
characteristics and specifying how your data is stored. Display Builder
provides default values for every dynamic element of a drawing so you can
quickly construct a complete dynamic drawing that can monitor and control
substations as well as electrical power transmission and distribution systems.

4.7.7. Event List

Event is a wide term that also comprises alarms. The event activation and
consequential actions are defined in the process database separately for each
individual object.
Figure 17: Event List
The purpose of the Event List is to provide the user with information about
events occurring in the system. It is also provides information about activities
carried out by other users, operations of objects, acknowledging of alarms,
editing of limit values, logging in and so on.
The Event List presents the data in a structured way for the user’s
convenience. Each event is presented by displaying an event text line, which
consists of a time stamp, object identification, a signal text and a text
indicating the status.

4.7.8. Alarm List

The Alarm List displays a summary of the present alarm situation of the
supervised process. Each alarm is presented as an alarm text line, which has
a time stamp, an object id, an object text, a text indicating the alarm status, as
well as a number ranging from 1-7 indicating the alarm class.

Figure 21: Alarm List (Template 2)
The process alarms are alarms that are related to the supervised process, for
example, measurement values exceeding or going below the preset alarm
limits, breakers tripping or getting into a faulty position and so on.
The internal alarms are alarms caused by the network control system itself.
Reasons for these alarms include communication problems between a
communication unit and substation, printer device errors, substation getting
suspended, etc.

4.7.8.2. Alarm Acknowledgement

An acknowledgement of an alarm is a way to show that the operator has
registered and identified the alarm. Generally, acknowledging an alarm does
not affect the alarm state. An unacknowledged alarm remains in the alarm
buffer until it is acknowledged, even if the alarm state has passed.
4.7.8.3. Alarm Blocking

Alarm blocking blocks a signal in such a way that it cannot generate an alarm.
(The same implies for history blocking, printout blocking and reprocessing
blocking.) Since the alarm is blocked, it is not registered in the process
database when the process object gets into an alarm generating state.
4.7.8.4. Alarm Classes

The alarms can be grouped into seven equally significant alarm classes. This
feature can be used when the user wants to group alarms caused by process
objects with common properties. From the system point of view there is no
internal priority between the different alarm classes. The alarm classes can

also be used when searching alarms from the alarm buffer. By setting the
alarm class to 0, the alarm function of a process object is set off.
Filters are used when the user wants to concentrate on certain information in
the alarm buffer. This is done by defining criteria to filter out unwanted
information. A single criterion or multiple criteria can be used for filtering. The
alarm list filter settings are identical to the event list filter settings (Figure 19).
4.7.8.5. Alarm List presentation modes

The alarm buffer is updated every time the alarm state of a process objects
changes. Basically, the Alarm List should be updated at each update of the
alarm buffer to give correct and up-to-date information. However, if the list is
updated frequently, it is almost impossible to concentrate on a single alarm
line. This is the reason why the Alarm List has two presentation modes: frozen
and updating. When the list is in the frozen mode, it is not updated, and the
alarm information can be read easily. If the alarm buffer is updated while the
Alarm List is in the frozen mode, the operator is notified with an informative
text on the status bar. When in the updating mode, the Alarm List is updated
at every update of the alarm buffer. The frozen mode is automatically selected
when the list is scrolled or when a tool affecting the alarm buffer is used. The
current mode is always indicated.
By clicking the left mouse button on a list column header, the alarm list is
sorted. The column that is used for sorting is the column that was clicked. If
the same column is clicked twice, the sorting is in descending order. After the
data is sorted, the list is set to the frozen mode. The column sort is reset when
the list mode is changed back to Update.
The Find function allows you to search for text within the current alarm list
view. Find searches through the list from the beginning point down. The alarm
line that contains searched text is set selected. A message box appears when
Find has reached the end point of the search or when searched text does not
exist.
Acknowledgement of a single alarm is done by selecting the alarm text line of

the desired alarm on the list. If the selected alarm is unacknowledged,
selecting Acknowledge from the pop-up menu can open the
Acknowledgement dialog. At the same time the Alarm List is set to the frozen
mode to prevent unwanted scrolling.

4.7.9. Blocking List

The Blocking List summarizes the present blocking situation of the signals of
the supervised process. Each signal is presented as a signal text line, which
describes the signal in the process. The signal text line normally consists of a
signal text and a group of check boxes indicating the blocking state.
Figure 23: Blocking List
The following blocking types are provided by the Blocking List:
Alarm blocking: alarms are not raised, regardless of the object state.
Update blocking: indications are not updated by the process.
Control blocking: operation commands are not sent to the process.
Event blocking: event registrations are not made; events are not shown
in the Event List.
Printout blocking: events are not sent to the printer.
Action blocking: event channel activation is blocked.

4 System Functions
4.1 User authority management

With the user authority management, new MicroSCADA users can be created. For testing
reasons generate test users for each group (User Levels 0, 1 and 2).
User/Password
MicroSCADA-user level 0 ->view User0/user0
MicroSCADA-user level 1 ->control User1/user1
MicroSCADA-user level 2 ->engineering User2/user2
MicroSCADA-user level 5 ->system Manager ARS /ARS
These users are needed in a later stage to perform additional tests.
4.2 Blocking list

With the blocking list, events can be blocked in different ways. Check that the list is available
and do some random samples.
Blocking of general update for a device or a specific signal

Blocking of print out for a device or a specific signal
Blocking of Event list for a device or a specific signal
Blocking of alarming for a device or a specific signal
Blocking of control for a device or a specific signal
4.3 Time synchronization
4.3.1 Synchronizing an external GPS clock

Note that in the case of redundant systems, both computers must set to the same time
when they are started. If this is not the case, the standby computer cannot follow the one on
line and cannot fulfil its standby function.
Change the Time on Windows level. The time must be corrected automatically, if Time
synchronisation is working correctly.
4.3.3 Synchronizing the communication gateway

The COM500 gateway is also synchronized directly from the GPS Clock via SNTP.
The time synchronisation of the COM500 gateway can be verified by changing the Windows
level. The time must be corrected automatically, if Time synchronisation is working
correctly.
Comment: The internal system time of a protocol converter is used for the time stamping of
internal system events only.
4.3.4 Time synchronization at device level

The bay level devices are also synchronized directly from the GPS Clock.
The time synchronisation of the individual IED can be verified by as follows:
Change the time to different time in the LHMI. The time should be restored back to the
correct time if the IED is time synchronised with GPS receiver.
4.4 Redundant Station computer (hot to standby operation)
4.4.1 Normal operation

In the normal operation of a redundant system, one MicroSCADA computer (SAS1) is in
operation, i.e. its user application (APL1) is running (hot) and its operation is being supervised
in the background by a watchdog (APL2).
The other MicroSCADA computer (SAS2) is on standby, i.e. its user application (APL1) is
quiescent (cold) and is also being supervised in the background by a watchdog (APL2).
The two computers are connected by a LAN via which the watchdogs transfer data from the
active to the passive system (shadowing) and switch over from one system to the other as
required by the situation.
4.4.2 Forcing a switchover by stopping MicroSCADA

Stop the MicroSCADA running on the active system via the MicroSCADA control panel
(only Administrator user is authorized to do so).
The watchdog of the passive system switches its user application (APL1) on (hot).
The Logon screen of the previously standby MicroSCADA system appears automatically.

5 SAS Graphical User Interface
5.1 Main menu

The first thing to check is whether the distribution, marking and arrangement of the buttons and
the general appearance of the main menu corresponds to the FDS.
Check the functions of the individual buttons.
5.1.1 Process pictures

Check that every button opens the correct process window.
5.1.2 Control system pictures

Check that every overview button opens the correct overview window.
5.2 Basic window functions
5.2.1 Menus
Does the menu contain all the items it should?
Do the menus items open the correct windows, and do they perform the correct functions
(e.g. logoff)?
Do the effective access rights conform to those entered for the particular users (e.g. no
access below user level 2 for “Engineering” to “Tool manager”)?
5.3 Basic Monitoring Functions
5.3.1 Event list

The event list is an important feature of a MicroSCADA system and therefore special attention
has to be paid to it. The basic event list functions are tested in this section.
Initiate several events in a bay unit and check that they all appear in the event list and are
presented as specified.
Check the effectiveness of the most important event filter functions (perform filter operations
according to time, bay designation and alarm class).
5.3.2 Alarm list

The alarm list is also another important feature of a MicroSCADA system. Two different types
are existing:
One type is divided into two horizontal parts, the upper one called “Persisting alarms” with the
active alarms and the lower one called “Fleeting alarms” with the alarms that are no longer

active, but were not acknowledged. An alarm that is no longer active and has been
acknowledged is deleted automatically from the list.
The other type of alarm list is not divided into two parts. All the alarms are entered in this list.
Whether an alarm is still active or has already been acknowledged can be seen from the colour
of the respective alarm text. The difference is that inactive and acknowledged alarms do not
disappear automatically, but only after clicking on the reset button.
Persisting and unacknowledged alarms
Generate events on a bay unit that have been configured as alarms and check that they
appear in the alarm list as specified.
Persisting and acknowledged alarms
Acknowledge a single alarm and then all alarms firstly by clicking on the corresponding
button and then via a pull-down menu.
Check that the alarms are presented in the alarm list as specified.
Fleeting and unacknowledged alarms
Generate events on a bay unit that have been configured as alarms and then reset them at
the bay unit (i.e. the alarm is not active any more).
Check that the alarms are presented in the alarm list as specified.
Fleeting and acknowledged alarms
Acknowledge the inactive alarms.

Check that the alarms disappear from the alarm list.
5.4 Basic control functions

It is important when checking process windows to make sure that they meet the customer’s
functional requirements.
5.4.1 Single-line diagram

Check both, the steady state (distribution, layout, designations and colours) and dynamic
(measurements, switching status of circuit-breakers and isolators, bus bar colours etc.)
features of the single-line diagrams and compare them with the specification.
Other aspects have to be compared with the specification when checking the analogue
values:
Is the layout of the measurements correct?
Are the units’ correct (e.g. A, kV, MVA)?
Is the resolution (decimal places) of the values shown correct?
Check the layout and function of the dialogue for transferring control responsibility. Every
transfer of station control to the NCC and back again has to be recorded in the event list.
Generally the system includes a visual representation of control responsibility, the
appearance, layout and function of which is to be checked.

5.4.2 Bay functions

A bay function refers to the signals and buttons which are defined for each feeder. Clicking on
the buttons opens a small dialogue for the particular feeder. The procedure for checking the bay
functions is as follows:
There is a signal below the bay local/remote button, which indicates whether control is
switched to “Local” (bay level) or “Station” (SAS). Use the Local/Remote switch on the bay
unit to check that the signal indicates the respective status correctly.
Provision is made in the bay for displaying a few measurements and these must also be
checked with regard to their presentation (number of places of decimals, units, order etc.)
their choice (function description) and their function.
Check the updation time for analogue values; any change in an analogue value has to be
updated in the SAS database within 2 seconds.
Check the operation of the limit monitors for which upper and lower limits and alarm settings
for the analogue signals have been set. Analogue signals in the bay control dialogue must
change to yellow colour upon exceeding the warning level and to red colour upon
exceeding the alarm level. Their colour at normal load values is white.
The next step is to check the correct operation of the functions in the bay control dialogue.
This involves checking the short event and alarm lists for the respective feeder.
5.4.3 Switch control handling

Selecting the symbol of a circuit-breaker or an isolator opens a “Switch control dialogue”. The
SAS always performs a switching operation in two steps, i.e. after selecting the element; the
interlocking conditions at bay level are checked first, before it is actually switched.
Check the operation of the switch control dialogue for typical switchgear (earth switches,
isolators and circuit-breakers) under all operating conditions.
Check that the control is possible only when all the interlock conditions are satisfied.
Change the position of the switches in the process simulator to check this for various
conditions.
Check the operation of all options in the switch control dialogue for typical switchgear.
Check the system response time for control commands from the event list, by comparing
the time when the command was issued and when the output contact of BCPU operated.
Check that the feedback on screen is within the response time specified.
5.4.4 Protection Functions

These tests are carried out basically to check the integration of protection into the Substation
Automation System.

Protection trip is in the event list
5.4.5 Control handling SAS/RLDC

(Full functionality will be shown during SAT)
The control responsibility button determines whether control is being performed in the station
itself or at the RLDC. Every process window displays this button and the associated signal.
Click on the control responsibility button to open the station dialogue.

The dialogue enables control responsibility to be switched from the station to the RLDC and
back again.
Any change in the status of control responsibility must be recorded in the event list.
5.4.6 Control priority SAS/RLDC

(Full functionality will be shown during SAT)
If control responsibility is set to Station, the SAS exercises full control:
The control responsibility signal indicates “Station”.

In this mode, switching operations can be initiated by the SAS, therefore check that this is
so by operating a typical switch.
Providing that a suitable RLDC simulator (protocol simulator) is available, check that
switching operations cannot be carried out from the RLDC.
If control responsibility is set to Remote, the RLDC exercises full control:
The control responsibility signal indicates “Remote”.

In this mode, switching operations can be initiated by the RLDC, therefore check that this is
so by operating a typical switch.
It must not be possible for the SAS to perform switching operations, therefore check this by
trying to operate a typical switch from SAS.
5.5 Advanced Monitoring Functions
5.5.1 Uploading disturbance fault records from IED’s

Disturbance recorder data are only recorded if the bay units have been configured to do so.
There are two ways of uploading disturbance recorder data from a bay unit to PCM600, i.e. to
the hard disc of the DR cum Engineering Workstation computer:
5.5.2 Uploading manually

Generate a protection trip by injecting an input variable into a protection relay (REL670).
Open the PCM600 Open Disturbance Handling (DRH) tool in PCM600
Click Get Recordings Information to start the dialog with the IED.

A list of all actual available DRs in the IED is displayed.

Select the desired recording and then right-click and choose read from the IED.
The recording is now read from the IED to the DR system.
As soon as the upload operation finishes you can refresh the list of recordings in the tool.
Now the file is available in the DRH tool and you can generate a report or choose to export
the recording.
5.5.3 Uploading automatically (cyclically)

A sequence to create a list of jobs to monitor IEDs would be as follow:
Start a project or it might be already started

Start Scheduler tool
Select Task Manager icon and choose Add Task
To add a task is always possible
Do the task configuration in the configuration window to your demand
Select Task icon and choose Add Object Job
Do job configuration. Select job variant and tool for the job
Choose Enable Task
Now generate a disturbance in the IED and verify that the operation specified in the Job is
done.
Check the settings in the “Automatic upload” dialogue and if necessary reset the interval for
cyclically uploading disturbance recorder files.
5.5.4 Disturbance recorder analysis

The disturbance recorder data can be evaluated and graphically presented with the aid of an
evaluation program (e.g. Wavewin).
On an uploaded recording, select Open with…

Now specify with what tool you want to open the recording(Wavewin), specify the path to
Wavewin
Click OK, The specified Tool should start opening the selected recording.
5.6 Remote parameter setting and reading of IED’s

The DR cum Engineering Workstation is used for reading and setting the parameters of the
relays.
5.6.1 Uploading settings from a device

Start PCM600
Browse down to the IED in the plant structure

Right-click and choose Parameter Setting

In the plant structure, you can browse the functions of the IED
On any level, you can read settings from the IED. Choose a suitable function and Choose
Read from IED.
The Settings for the selected function are now read from the IED.
5.6.2 Downloading settings to a device

Change some of the settings read in test case above.
Select Write to IED and choose all parameters in the dialog window.
All settings for the function are now written to the IED.
Upload the set of settings again (see above) and check whether the setting is really
changed.

5.7 Measured Value Trends

Check that all required measurements (according customer’s specification) are configured.
Check the scaling by injecting the corresponding analog value to the BCU.
Measurement reports will be shown during SAT
5.8 Advanced Control Functions
5.8.1 Busbar Coloring

With this additional feature, the busbar segment changes its colour depending on the state (e.g.
earthed, energized, and de-energized). The colours have to be defined
Check the defined colours.

Check the functionality with random samples (Switching operations and injecting voltages)

6 Point-to-point test (to be done during SAT)

6.1 SAS Datapoint test bay level
The point-to-point test checks every single data point in the bay units. Each can influence one
or several of the listed functions or MicroSCADA components and therefore has to be tested.
Screens: All dynamic states must reflect the actual status of the process.
Event list: All items of process plant with defined HA and HE attributes must appear in the
event list.
Printers: The event printer must print all items of process plant with defined LD and PA
attributes.
Alarm list: All items of process plant with defined AC and AG attributes must appear in the
alarm list. Important: The status values 0 and 1 correspond to the status messages
“Normal” and “Alarm” respectively.
Analogue values: The scaling and resolution of all analogue process values must
accurately reflect the respective analogue process data.
Event channel: Check that all items of process plant with an event channel attached can
execute the attached command procedures.
6.2 Data point test SAS to RLDC (to be done during SAT)
A database point test requires a connection to the respective protocol converter and an RLDC
or simulator. The purpose of the test is to check the transfer of the various database point types
in both directions between the RLDC and bay levels, i.e. not every signal is checked as is the
case with a full point-to-point test.
The communication is tested first from the bay level to the power system control level:
Change the positions of a number of switches and check that the new positions are
transmitted to the RLDC (DB).
Change a few analogue input variables in steps (0%, 50%, 100%, 110%, 20%, 5%, 0%)
and check that the new values are properly scaled and transmitted to the RLDC (AO).
Generate a few events at bay level, e.g. a protection trip, and check that the corresponding
events are transmitted to the RLDC (BO).
Now check the communication from the system control level to the bay level.
Send a few switching commands from the RLDC and check that the correct switching
operations are carried out at bay level. Repeat the test for other items of switchgear (BI).
