Simulation Bit support for GOOSE and SMV

The simulation bit support for GOOSE and SMV is implemented as described in IEC 61850.
1. As an example, the device can be set to
simulation mode using the IEC 61850 browser.
2. In this mode, the device works with the original,
non simulated signals (GOOSE/SMV) for as long
as it receives the same signals with the
simulation bit set generated from a test set.
3. Signals without a set simulation bit are still
processed from the original source.

This enables selective use of the simulation bit.


The purpose of the simulation bit is to simulate
GOOSE and SMV signals using test equipment
(simulation equipment), such as an Omicron test
set, to test subscriber devices without interfering
Source: IEC 61850-7-1 (picture is also valid for SMV Simulation bit)
with the operation of other devices using the same signals.

The simulation signals and the real signals can be present in the network at the same time.

Sampled Value Supervision and trouble shooting

SIPROTEC 5 supports the monitoring of GOOSE and Sampled Values. In addition to the data objects defined in IEC 61850,
additional LSVS objects allow faster and more efficient troubleshooting.

Sampled value related additional LSVS information


• No telegrams received
• Sample count jump detected
• Data delay error (data buffering of the stream)
Time synchronization related additional LSVS information
• Accuracy requirements are met
• Stream is local / global synchronized
• Synchronization source mismatch for the comparison of local synchronized streams
• Mismatch of accepted synchronization

Sampled Value Supervision and trouble shooting New in V9.50

In addition to the LSVS information, each measuring point (MP)


sourced by IEC 61850 sampled values provides additional status
information that helps during commissioning and troubleshooting.
Status indications are available for
• Qualities
• Synchronization state
• Test-flag
• Sim-mode
These indications are a sum of the measuring-point
individual channels (for example, Phase L1, Phase L2, Phase L3
for a 3-phase measuring point).

In one of the subsequent revisions of the IEC 61850 standard,
the direction will be defined as IN = +3I0.

Process Bus interoperability
How to ensure interoperability for Process Bus applications

Configuration
 ICD/CID files must be compliant with IEC 61850 standard
 IEC 61850 Edition 2.1 closes important gaps to ensure interoperability
 Not all vendors support IEC 61850 Edition 2.1
 3rd party ICD/CID files often lack important settings from Siemens's point of view
Provision and reading of the sampled value stream content
 Merging Unit must publish standard compliant sampled value streams
 Subscriber IED’s must be able to subscribe to and read standard-compliant sampled value streams
 Field experience has shown this is usually achievable. In the worst-case ICD/CID files will need to be modified to provide the information
required for the subscription.
Interpretation of the sampled value stream content
 Merging unit manufacturers may use different hardware and ADC conversion approaches, resulting in unequal signals under transient
conditions and/or phase angle errors. (addressed by the setting "ScndTmms" in Edition 2.1)
 The saturation behavior of the analog signal must be known to the subscriber. (addressed by “Clip” setting in Edition 2.1)
 Not all vendors support IEC 61850 Edition 2.1
 Reason for Siemens strong recommendation for dynamic network simulation tests to ensure safe protection operation in multivendor
applications

Sample and time synchronization
Why to differentiate between different types of synchronization

Accuracy requirements of the applications for the time synchronization


In power distribution and transmission networks, various applications require time synchronization. Well-known examples are fault records and
event messages (static process image), as well as PMU for WAMs systems or the use of process bus technology. These different applications
have correspondingly different requirements for accuracy and the necessity of globally synchronized date and time information.

Benefits of separation

IEEE 1588v2/PTP – Clock types

Clock type Clock type variant Description

Ordinary Clocks (OC) Slave-Only (OCSO) No port can be in the MASTER state.

Grandmaster-Capable (OCGC) The port (or the port pair in redundancy) can be in the MASTER state.

Grandmaster-Only (GMC) No port can be in the SLAVE state.

Transparent Clocks (TC) Peer-to-Peer TC (P2P TC) Correct and forward PTP messages from port to port

End-to-End TC (E2E TC) Correct and forward PTP messages from end to end
No peer delay mechanism used.

Boundary Clocks (BC) Never slave-only and can have either:


• exactly one port in the SLAVE state and all other in the MASTER or
PASSIVE state;
• all ports in the MASTER state, in which case the BC is the grandmaster.

PTP profiles specify a particular set of attribute values and optional PTP features that work together when using the same transport protocol
to achieve performance that meets the requirements of a particular application.
A PTP profile is a set of required options, prohibited options, and the ranges and defaults of configurable attributes.

Sample synchronization
SIPROTEC 5 build-in Grand Master Clock with BMCA BMCA in V9.60

Loosing the active master can lead to time jumps of the time base,
used to synchronize sampled values.
The consequences are:
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
• Resynchronization of the sampled values to the new time base
• Jump of the sample count
• The resynchronization to the new time base happens very likely
not simultaneously (within the same second).
• The subscriber will receive for a short period of time sampled values Sample jump caused by time base jump and
synchronized from different master clocks. resulting resynchronization leads to
• The protection will be temporally blocked. temporally protection blocking.
Solution: NEW Operation mode of BMCA available with V9.60
Ensures that the SIPROTEC 5 build-in GMC are synchronized first to existing masters within the network.
 Avoids the jump of time base
Exchanges information, of previously used GMC.
 Subscriber uses this information to bridge the not fully synchronous switch between the master clocks.
Benefit: Protection stays operational during the change of grand master clocks  Availability is increased

SMV Stream SMV stream is a set of current and voltage values that is broadcasted fast and cyclically. The information exchange is based on a
publisher/subscriber mechanism. The broadcast of SMV is a continuous one-way stream of layer 2 Ethernet telegrams. According to IEC
61869-9, the content of a SMV stream can be freely configured. The IEC 61850-9-2 LE defines a fixed set of 4 voltage and 4 current values
per SMV stream.
Merging Unit (MU) The publisher/server of Sampled Measured Values is called Merging Unit.
PB Client The subscriber of Sampled Measured Values can also be called Process Bus Client (PB Client).
Sampling Rate In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous-time signal (e.g., current and voltages) to a discrete-time signal. A common
example is the conversion of a sound wave (a continuous signal) to a sequence of samples (a discrete-time signal).
A sample is a value or set of values at a precise point in time. The usual unit for sample rate is Hz, meaning "samples per second." For
example, 4.8 kHz (4800 samples per second) is used for most protection functions. IEC 61850-9-2 LE also defines "samples per cycle" as
a valid definition of sampling rates. The specified 80 and 256 samples per cycle can be converted to "samples per second". For example,
80 smp/cycle in a 50 Hz system has a sampling rate of 4000 Hz (80 x 50 Hz).
ASDU Application Service Data Unit (ASDU)
One ASDU contains a set of sampled measured values and corresponding quality information from the same sampling time point. Mapping
offers the possibility to link multiple ASDU‘s from subsequent sampling times into one SMV frame. The number of ASDUs contained in an
SMV frame is defined in IEC 61869-9 and depends on the sampling rate.

Term Definition
IEEE1588v2/PTP The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a protocol used to synchronize clocks throughout a computer network. On a local area network, it
achieves clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems. PTP was originally
defined in the IEEE 1588-2002 standard, officially entitled "Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked
Measurement and Control Systems" and published in 2002. In 2008, IEEE 1588-2008 was released as a revised standard; also known as
PTP Version 2, it improves accuracy, precision and robustness but is not backward compatible with the original 2002 version.
IEEE1588v2/PTP PTP has many optional features, and often more than one way to do things. This means PTP devices do not necessarily work together. Not
Profiles unless they are configured with a compatible set of choices for 1588 options and settings. The solutions is … profiles. Profiles are a set of
rules which place restrictions on PTP, intended to meet the needs of a specific application or set of similar applications. The IEEE 1588
standard itself only defines one profile, referred to as the “default profile”. In power industry there are two profiles used: IEC 61850-9-3
(Power Utility Profile) and C37.238-2017 (Power Profile).
OCSO Ordinary Clock Slave Only (OCSO)
When using a master or grandmaster clock, other devices which sync to the master’s time are called ordinary slave clocks. A slave clock is
a device that syncs with the master or grandmaster clock but does not act as a source of timing.
OCGC / GMC Ordinary Clock Grand Master Capable (OCGC) / Grand Master Clock (GMC)
An IEEE 1588 clock, which is able to act either as and grand master clock or slave clock.
P2P TC Per to per Transparent Clock (P2P TC)
A transparent clock (often a PTP enabled switch) allows you to timestamp the packet before it reaches a slave device, making it easier to
calculate network delay. They operate in place of a normal switch, which can otherwise introduce inaccuracy when the network gets
congested. Transparent clocks also manage the ordering of packets coming from multiple sources. If the output port is busy, it will stamp
each packet with an arrival and departure time to account for time spent waiting in the clock.
