3 Operation Theory
3.1 Basic Control Modes

This section introduces five basic control modes, constant reactive power control, constant voltage
control, constant power factor control, mixed control of voltage & reactive power, and manual
constant reactive power.
No. Control modes Description

By setting the target reactive power value or the corresponding remote adjustment
value of the compensation point (HV side or LV side of main transformer), the
Constant reactive
1 device can automatically adjust the output reactive power value of STATCOM
power control
according to the present load reactive power value and the desired reactive power
value.
By setting the target voltage value or the corresponding remote adjustment value
of the compensation point, the device can automatically adjust the output reactive
power value of STATCOM according to the present compensation-point voltage
value and the desired voltage value.
Constant voltage When the compensation-point voltage is lower than the set reference voltage, the

control STATCOM will output capacitive reactive power to raise it, when the
compensation-point voltage is higher than the reference value, the STATCOM will
output inductive reactive power to lower it.
To improve the voltage control range, the voltage slope setting [VoltSlope_Loc] is
set and it can be adjusted according to the system short-circuit capacity.
By setting the target power factor value or the corresponding remote adjustment
value of the compensation point, the device can automatically adjust the output
Constant power factor

control
of the compensation point, for realizing the desired power factor in the
compensation point.

beyond the upper limit, the system will switch to constant voltage mode, when the

compensation-point voltage is lower than the upper limit (4% hysteresis), the
voltage
system will back to constant reactive power mode.
In the manual constant reactive power mode, STATCOM can output the desired
Manual constant reactive power according to the target manual reactive power value or the

reactive power control corresponding remote adjustment value. This mode is usually used for debugging
STATCOM equipments and other devices in the substation.
3.2 Additional Control Functions

In addition to the above control functions, there is other control functions, which are suitable for
different applications and can be selected to enabled or disabled.
3.2.1 Automatic Voltage Control (AVC)

In AVC mode, the device will adjust the output reactive power value of STATCOM according to the
reactive power instructions issued by AVC. If the control-side busbar voltage is out of the set range,

Date: 2018-11-30
3 Operation Theory
it will exit AVC mode and switch to local constant voltage control mode.
3.2.2 Coordination Control Function
When multiple sets of STATCOM are used to complete the voltage or reactive power control
objectives, a coordination control device needs to be configured. In this mode, each set of
STATCOM outputs the corresponding amount of reactive power according to the value of reactive
power command issued by the coordination control device.
3.2.3 Transient Voltage Compensation Function
The device can provide voltage compensation function in transient state of power system. In case
of major disturbance, the system voltage may have a large or fast fluctuation, it is necessary to
take measures for quick compensation, and the STATCOM can output the full or over amount of
reactive current to balance the grid fluctuation within the specified response time.
The pickup criterion of the function is: the amplitude of grid voltage is bigger than the
corresponding setting or the voltage change rate is higher than the corresponding setting. When
the STATCOM is in one of the above basic control modes and the criterion is satisfied, the
STATCOM will be switched into transient voltage compensation mode automatically, and it can
back to the previous mode after the grid voltage is restored.
3.3 Protection Function

Three-level protection is equipped in STATCOM, including component-level protection,
device-level protection and system-level protection.
Component-level protection: for detecting internal device fault of valves, including overvoltage
protection and overcurrent protection of IGBT.
Device-level protection: for detecting valve fault by Sub-Module Control board (SMC) and
PCS-9589 Valve Base Control unit (VBC), including valve DC-side overvoltage protection and
undervoltage protection, valve over temperature protection, valve driving failure protection and
valve power failure protection.
System-level protection: for detecting STATCOM system fault by PCS-9583D STATCOM control
unit, including overcurrent protection, overload protection, overvoltage protection, undervoltage
protection, overfrequency protection, underfrequency protection, etc.
3.3.1 Overvoltage Protection and Overcurrent Protection of IGBT
IGBT overvoltage protection is performed by the active clamping circuit of driving board in power
module, and overcurrent protection is performed by the desaturation circuit. When detecting
over-voltage or over-current, the pulse will be blocked to switched off IGBT, and the over-voltage
or over-current fault signal will be sent to VBC, then VBC will send the signal after summarizing to
PCS-9583D STATCOM control unit.
3.3.2 Valve DC-side Overvoltage Protection and Undervoltage Protection

The protections are used to prevent valve components damage from over-voltage and

Date: 2018-11-30
3 Operation Theory
under-voltage in DC side of valve during pre-charging and operation. When the SMC inside valve
detects the capacitor voltage in DC side is higher or lower than the corresponding limit, the trigger
pulse will be blocked and IGBT will be switched off, at the same time the fault signal will be sent to
PCS-9583D control unit via VBC.
3.3.3 Valve Over-temperature Protection
The protection is used to protect valve components in case of valve over-temperature during
operation. When SMC detects the temperature is higher than the pre-set setting, the trigger pulse
will be blocked and IGBT will be switched off, at the same time the fault signal will be sent to
PCS-9583D control unit via VBC.
3.3.4 Valve Driving Abnormality Protection
The protection can prevent valve components damage from driving abnormality during operation.
The SMC is equipped with driving logic generation and checking circuit, which can check whether
the driving signal or the driving board is abnormal, if so, the trigger pulse will be blocked to switch
off IGBT, at the same time the fault signal will be sent to PCS-9583D control unit via VBC.
3.3.5 Valve Power Fault Protection
The protection can avoid components damage due to valve power fault during operation. The
SMC is equipped with power supervision circuit, which can check whether the power supply is
abnormal, if so, the trigger pulse will be blocked to switch off IGBT, at the same time the fault
signal will be sent to PCS-9583D control unit via VBC.
3.3.6 Delta-out Overcurrent Protection
For △-connection converter valve, the device is equipped with delta-out overcurrent protection ,
for preventing the equipments from damage due to delta-out overcurrent or abnormality. This
protection operates to block VBC and trip the main circuit breaker 1QF and bypass circuit breaker
1KM, and its logic diagram is as follows.

3.3.17 Other Protections
In addition to the above protections, the device is also equipped with main circuit breaker
error-closing protection and bypass circuit breaker error-opening protection during STATCOM
operation, for ensuring the circuit breakers in correct positions and under the sequence logic
control of control & protection system.
For avoiding the effect of cooling system abnormality on STATCOM equipments, the device is
equipped with cooling power fault protection and cooling system fault protection, etc.
It is also equipped with communication abnormality protection and control unit abnormality
protection for preventing the abnormality resulting in control abnormality and equipment damage.
Besides, the device is equipped with some alarm logic, such as overload alarm logic, grid-side
residual overvoltage alarm logic and valve-side residual overvoltage alarm logic, all of the alarm
signals will be displayed in local LCD and HMI for reminding the operator to pay attention.
In order to enhance the self-adaptive ability of STATCOM in case of grid fault, blocking pulse
function is equipped in the device. When a transient fault or severe short-time fault occurs in grid,
the trigger pulse will be blocked to switch off IGBT, and the STATCOM will enter zero-reactive
power output state, but the mechanical switches will not be opened. When the fault is off, the
STATCOM can quickly deblock the trigger pulse and recover normal operation for providing
reactive power support for the electric power grid.

If the device has detected any abnormal state, it will display the self-check alarm information.
6.3.3 Display Disturbance Records

This device can store 64 disturbance records and 64 disturbance records with fault waveform.
When there is protection element operating, the LCD will automatically display the latest
disturbance record, and two kinds of LCD display interfaces will be available depending on
whether there are supervision events at present.
For the situation that the disturbance records and the supervision events coexist, the upper half
part is the disturbance record, and the lower half part is the supervision event. As to the upper half
part, it displays separately the record number of the disturbance record, generating time of the
disturbance record (with a format of yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss), protection element and tripping
element. If there is protection element operation and relative operation time with reference to fault
detector element are displayed. At the same time, if displayed rows of protection element and
tripping element are more than 3, a scroll bar will appear at the right. The height of the black part of
the scroll bar basically indicates the total lines of protection element and tripping element, and its
position suggests the position of the currently displayed line of the total lines. The scroll bar of
protection element and tripping element will roll up at the speed of one line per time. When it rolls
to the last three lines, it will roll from the earliest protection element and tripping element again.

7.7 Electrical Installation and Wiring

7.7.1 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.
NOTICE!
All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.
7.7.2 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.
NOTICE!
If the above conditions are not fulfilled, there is a possibility of the cubicle or parts of it
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

Date: 2018-11-30
7 Installation
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 7.7-1).
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.
NOTICE!
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).

7.7.3 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 7.7-2) is the only ground terminal of this device.
Figure 7.7-2 Ground terminal of this device

Date: 2018-11-30
7 Installation
7.7.4 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.

7.7.5 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
7.7.6 Wiring for Electrical Cables
A female connector is used for connecting the wires with it, and then a female connector plugs into
a corresponding male connector that is in the front of one board. See Chapter “Hardware” for
further details about the pin defines of these connectors.

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.
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.
8.4.2.1 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.
8.4.2.2 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.
8.4.2.3 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 relays 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.
8.4.2.4 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.
8.4.2.5 Testing AC Current Inputs
NOTICE!
The closing circuit should remain isolated during these checks to prevent accidental
operation of the associated circuit breaker.
This test verified that the accuracy of current measurement is within the acceptable tolerances.
Apply rated current to each current transformer input in turn; checking its magnitude using a
multimeter/test set readout. The corresponding reading can then be checked in the device menu.
The measurement accuracy of the device is 2.5% or 0.02In. However, an additional allowance
must be made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
8.4.2.6 Testing AC Voltage Inputs
This test verified that the accuracy of voltage measurement is within the acceptable tolerances.
Apply rated voltage to each voltage transformer input in turn; checking its magnitude using a
multimeter/test set readout. The corresponding reading can then be checked in the devices menu.
The measurement accuracy of the device is 2.5% or 0.1V. However an additional allowance must
be made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
8.4.2.7 Testing Binary Inputs
This test checks that all the binary inputs on the equipment are functioning correctly.
The binary inputs should be energized one at a time, see external connection diagrams for
terminal numbers.
Ensure that the voltage applied on the binary input must be within the operating range.
The status of each binary input can be viewed using device menu. Sign “1” denotes an energized
input and sign “0” denotes a de-energized input.
8.4.3 On-load Checks
The objectives of the on-load checks are:
⚫ Confirm the external wiring to the current and voltage inputs is correct.
⚫ Measure the magnitude of on-load current and voltage (if applicable).

Date: 2018-11-30
8 Commissioning
⚫ Check the polarity of each current transformer.
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 device 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.
8.4.4 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 device 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 device has been restored to service.
If the device 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 device 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 device.

9 Maintenance
NR numerical device PCS-9583 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 relays are hermetically sealed.
Since the device is almost completely self-monitored, from the measuring inputs to the output
relays, 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.
9.1 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. The 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 the 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 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.
9.2 Failure Tracing and Repair

Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.
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
9.3 Replace Failed Modules

If the failure is identified to be in the module and the user has spare modules, the user can recover
the device by replacing the failed modules.
Repair at the site should be limited to module replacement. Maintenance at the component level is
not recommended.

9 Maintenance
Check that the replacement module has an identical module name (AI, PWR, MON, DSP, etc.)
and hardware type-form as the removed module. Furthermore, the MON 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 MON 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.
WARNING!
Hazardous voltage can be present in the DC circuit just after switching off the DC power
supply. It takes approximately 30 seconds for the voltage to discharge.
2) Replacing the Human Machine Interface Module (front panel)
◼ Open the device front panel
◼ Unplug the ribbon cable on the front panel by pushing the catch outside.
◼ Detach the HMI module from the device
◼ Attach the replacement module in the reverse procedure.

WARNING!
Units and modules may only be replaced while the supply is switched off and only by
appropriately trained and qualified personnel. Strictly observe the basic precautions to
guard against electrostatic discharge.
WARNING!
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 MON module, check
the settings.
DANGER!
After replacing modules, be sure to check that the same configuration is set as before
the replacement. If this is not the case, there is a danger of the unintended operation of
switchgear taking place or of control not functioning correctly. Persons may also be put
in danger.
9.4 Cleaning
Before cleaning the device, ensure that all AC/DC supplies, current transformer connections are
isolated to prevent any chance of an electric shock whilst cleaning. Use a smooth cloth to clean
the front panel. Do not use abrasive material or detergent chemicals.
9.5 Storage
The spare module should be stored in a dry and clean room. Based on IEC standard 60255-1 the
storage temperature should be from -40oC to +70oC, but the temperature of from 0oC to +40oC is
recommended for long-term storage.
