With REM615 it is also possible to di-rectly control the circuit-breaker locally, by means of open / closed pushbuttons located on the display, or remotely if it is connected to a supervision system.To prevent unauthorized access and keep integrity of the data, the relay is provided with a user authentication systembased on a four-level role, with indivi-dual passwords for the level of inspec-tor, operator, technician and admini-strator. Access control is carried out by means of the HMI on the front panel.

Standardized communication REF615 intrinsically supports the new IEC 61850 Standard, with regard to communication between devices in sub-stations. It also supports the standard industrial Modbus® protocol, DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-103.The IEC61850 protocol is native in the 615 series and therefore, thanks to the GOOSE messaging services, defined by the protocol itself, point-to-point communication is also possible over an Ethernet network which covers the entire substation.The configuration language of the sub-station enables use of processing tools for efficient configuration and activation of the substation devices.For applications where time is a critical factor, REF615 supports the synchroni-zation function over Ethernet by means of the SNTP protocol or on a separate bus using IRIG-B.

Pre-emptive condition monitoringFor continuous monitoring of operatio-nal availability, REM615 incorporates a complete range of monitoring functions for the circuit-breaker trip circuit. Accor-ding to the configuration of the device selected, the relay monitors the status of circuit-breaker stress and wear, the spring charging time of the circuit-breaker operating mechanism and the gas pressure of the arcing chambers. The relay also measures the circuit-breaker travel time and the number of circuit-breaker operations to collect basic information for scheduling suitable circuit-breaker maintenance.

RED 615

ApplicationRED615 provides high speed, longitu-dinal differential protection, with phase selection for overhead line and cable feeders in utility and industrial distribu-tion networks. RED615 is available in three standard configurations: a pure and simple line differential protection and two extended configurations with additional protection functions. Two RED615s interconnected over a com-munication link make up a completely selective protection diagram. The pro-tection for ring and meshed distribution networks generally requires unit pro-tection solutions, also applied in radial networks containing distributed power generation.

Line differential protection and control • Simple configuration via software• Line differential protection and control p with phase selection, at two ends• Perfectly harmonized for industrial and utility power plants, including meshed and

not fully connected distribution networks, with or without decentralized power generation

• Wide range of incorporated protection functions• Compact design• Withdrawable unit• Compliance with Standards IEC 61850• Monitoring of operative conditions• Display with mimic diagram (option)

Protection and controlAccording to the model, the RED615 series has the following protection functions:• 46 negative sequence or current

balance• 49 thermal overload• 50 instantaneous overcurrent• 51 overcurrent with inverse time • 51N ground fault (residual)• 51G ground fault (measured)• 67N directional ground overcurrent • 68 transformer inrush• 87L cable residual current• 50BF circuit-breaker not opening• 79 auto-reclosing (optional)

By means of the RED615 it is also pos-sible to control the circuit-breaker di-rectly locally by means of open / closed pushbuttons located on the display, or remotely it is connected to a supervision system.To prevent unauthorized access and keep integrity of the data, the relay is provided with a user authentication system based on a four-level role, with individual passwords for the level of inspector, operator, technician and ad-ministrator. Access control is carried out by means of the HMI on the front panel.

Binary signal transferBinary signal transfer (BST) can be used for transferring blocking and inter-trip signals as well as status and position information between the local and remote line ends. The BST function includes eight binary signals, transfers among the substations by means of protection signals via wire transferred onto the communication link. The BST signals go in both directions and the signal transfer time is extremely short, in the order of a few milliseconds. The BST signal and the RED615 logic allow customizable protection and control dia-grams to be set up, to make electrical plants which will be even more highly performing in future.

Standard Communication RED615 has native support for the new IEC 61850 Standard on communication in substations. The relay also supports the standard industrial Modbus® protocol, as well as the consolidated DNP3 protocols and IEC 60870-5-103.The IEC61850 protocol is native in the 615 series and therefore, thanks to the GOOSE messaging services, defined by the protocol itself, point-to-point communication over an Ethernet net-work which covers the entire substation is also possible.

Supervision of communication protection The protection communication channel between the line ends is continually supervised. Should the communication channel be interrupted or subject to interferences, the fast-acting line diffe-rential protection and all other functions are immediately blocked. This automa-tic limitation involves all the functions which rely on continuous availability of the protection communication channel. Supervision of the channel includes re-cognition of missing or delayed signals which carry analogue measurements or binary data. The resetting delay can be selected by the user.

Pre-emptive condition monitoring To guarantee operational availability of the protection, RED615 incorporates a range of monitoring and watchdog functions to supervise the hardware and software, the communication system, the circuit-breaker trip circuit and the CTs. Faults at CT level can cause un-warranted activation of the differential phase protection and the phase unba-lance protection.Therefore a CT monitoring system with rapid action immediately blocks opera-tion of the line differential protection and phase unbalance protection function on detection of an erratic CT signal. According to the configuration of the device selected, the relay monitors the state of circuit-breaker stress and wear, the spring charging time of the circuit-breaker operating mechanism and the gas pressure in the arcing chambers. The relay also measures the circuit-breaker run time and counts the number of circuit-breaker operations, therefore collecting the fundamental information for programming suitable maintenance of the circuit-breaker.

The REU615 device is a relay for pro-tection, measurement and monitoring of utility substations and industrial electri-cal plants.It fully complies with the IEC61850 Standard on communication and inter-operability of automation devices for substations.

UseREU615 guarantees protections for che-cking voltage, frequency, load shedding, and synchronism (25): the B version also allows the AVR (automatic voltage regulator) function.REU615 is currently available in 2 stan-dard configurations (A-B) to respond to the various line protection and control requirements.

Protection and controlAccording to the version, the REU615 series has the following protection func-tions:• 27 Phase undervoltage• 59 Three-phase overvoltage• 59N Homopolar overvoltage• 47 Reverse sequence or voltage ba-

lance• 81 Frequency• 25 Synchronism check• 90 (AVR)

By means of the REU615 it is also possible to directly control the circuit-breaker, either locally by means of open /closed pushbuttons on the display, or remotely if it is connected to a supervi-sion system.To prevent unauthorized access and keep integrity of the data, the relay is provided with a user authentication system based on a four-level role, with individual passwords for the level of inspector, operator, technician and ad-ministrator. Access control is carried out by means of the HMI on the front panel.

Busbar protection by means of the GOOSE messaging functionImplementation of the IEC 61850 Standard in REU615 also includes rapid point-to-point communication over the substation bus. By using GOOSE communication, the REU615 incoming and outgoing line relays of a substation operate in synergy so as to make up a stable, reliable and high speed protec-tion system for busbars. Good quality/price protection for busbars based on GOOSE communication is obtained simply by configuring the relays, and the operative availability of the protection is guaranteed by constant monitoring of the protection relays and by the GOOSE messaging function on the substation bus. Separate physical wiring between the switchgear units is not required for horizontal communication.

The REA unit makes a protection system against electric arcs inside the switchgear.It can be used in all types of switchgear and does not require structural interven-tions.In switchgear and electric plants, the REA system is an effective tool for incre-asing overall plant reliability. In plants which have been in service for a long time, the REA system also allows the switchgear residual life to be increased.The REA system is sensitive to the light developed by the arc. It is therefore able to identify faults extremely rapidly and to intervene equally rapidly. This allows the energy developed by the electric arc to be drastically limited and the amount of damage to be reduced.The REA system can be used in low and medium voltage switchgear.

The multi-function SUE 3000 unit allows rapid changeover between two alternative power supply systems.The HSTS (High Speed Transfer System) carried out by SUE 3000, is the ideal solution for critical industrial processes, where a power cut - even for just one or two cycles - can cause production process stoppage and considerable damage.This system can be fully integrated in the switchgear and is able to changeover the power supply of the main switchgear unit to an emergency alternative within a few milliseconds. Long and costly machine stoppages, damage to production equipment and production restarting downtimes are thereby avoided.The SUE 3000 HSTS allows changeover times of 100 ms to be obtained with traditional type circuit-breakers and of 30 ms with VM1 circuit-breakers in the version with rapid magnetic actuator.

Sensors – Electronic Instrument TransformersCurrent Sensors The current sensing is based on Ro-gowski coil principle, which is uniformly wound coil over the air core immune to any risk of saturation and linear over the wide range of measured currents. The output from the coil proportional to change of current is voltage, which needs to be integrated to produce the output as current.

Voltage SensorsThe voltage sensing is based on resistive or capacitive dividers with the constant division ration of 10000:1. Due to absence of ferro-magnetic material the voltage sensor is immune to ferro-resonance problems.

Combi SensorsThe sensor combines Current and Voltage sensing principles in one unit. The Rogowski coil for current sensing is combined with resistive or capacitive dividers in order to optimize the functionality of product based on the customer specification.

VT Guard is a device studied to eliminate the phenomenon of ferroresonance in measurement circuits with voltage transformers. The device is particularly recommended in networks with an earthing connection. The phenomenon of ferroresonance can take place in this type of network for various reasons and can cause damage, due to overload, of the voltage transformers with the secondary winding connected to the earthing circuit.The VT Guard device has the peculiarity of coming into operation when the phenomenon appears and of remaining inactive in the case of natural unbalance between the system phases.

Modular prefabricated solutions for photovoltaic fields

The substation is a fundamental component of the plant for the electrical apparatus protection function and safety of operating personnel.

ABB uses prefabricated substations made of concrete whose metal reinforcement makes an equipotential homogeneous grounding mesh over the entire structure which, when then connected to the grounding system, protects the internal appa-ratus against atmospheric overvoltages and limits the effects of step and contact voltages to negligible values.

The whole structure is fully factory-assembled and tested in conformity with the CEI EN 61330 Standard. After this, it is ready to be placed on the worksite to then be put into service. Installation activities are therefore limited to cable connections among the various different substations and the field switchgear.

Transport of the substation does not require use of any exceptional means of transport. Should it be necessary to move the substation to another location, the operation is simple and rapid.

The substations are fitted with a base with the same characteristics as the housing, whose plan has the same dimensions as the substation. The base is supplied to bu-ild a sturdy platform to rest the substation on and to allow convenient cable entry. For this purpose, a series of pre-established knockout holes are provided in the walls.

The ground where the substation is to be positioned must be suitably prepared by digging and laying a layer of draining gravel to rest the base on.

The substations offered by ABB consist of a coordinated assembly of components subjected to type tests, including:– Medium voltage switchgear– Low voltage switchboards– MV/LV transformers– Inverters– Panels and auxiliary devices– Lighting plant– Connections.

The substations only have the name of the ABB manufacturer on the nameplate, which is the guarantee for the whole unit.

ABB has developed a full range of modular solutions for standard power photo-voltaic plants, incorporating its components optimally inside complete, turnkey systems, for each type of network configuration: radial, ring and distributed.

Substation automation systems

SD-VIEW Concept Modular automation systems for power control and management

The SD-View Concept systems use advanced and consolidated technological solutions to manage the supervision, command, control, protection and automation functions. They are normally used in management of electrical plants in industries, infrastructures, the service sector and utilities.Using the SD-View Concept systems offers important advantages, such as: improvement of the energy quality, service continuity, reduction of consumption, advanced diagnosis, increased safety, simplicity of management, etc. By exploiting the modularity of SD-View Concept, it is possible to construct flexible architectures, aimed at the specific requirements of the plant and of the administrator, ensuring perfect integration with field instruments (high voltage, medium voltage and low voltage protection apparatus, motor control switchgear, air conditioning stations, fire-fighting stations, etc.).

Characteristics• User-friendly standard symbols; when required, the

graphics can be adapted to particular customer needs • Fully scalable: information, peripherals and computers can

be added at later stages• Completely flexible (there are no limits to the type of

applications)• Architectures can be made to measure and in respect of

the plant limits• Client-Server modes easily implemented (by placing

additional operator panels elsewhere other than in the plant does not require software development)

• Redundant architectures (immunity to apparatus faults)• Multi-language function (changeover of the operator

language without having to restart the machine)• Open towards other data importation/exportation systems,

in the standard ODBC data base formats.

Example of SD-View Extend architecture

The SD-View Concept systems are available in three architectures:

SD-View BasicAllows supervision of a small power substation (a few concentrated switchgear) consisting of medium voltage and low voltage apparatus, and emergency power supply systems to be carried out.

SD-View Medium This is the solution suitable for supervising several distributed electrical substations (many pieces of distributed switchgear), consisting of medium voltage, low voltage apparatus, emergency UPS and zone switchgear. SD-View Extend Allows management of several large and distributed electrical substations, each of which consists of various pieces of high voltage, medium voltage and low voltage apparatus, emergency UPS, zone switchgear and other apparatus. The architecture also allows introduction of basic automation logics.Apart from the architectures described above, depending on the size of the installation and orientated towards management of power distribution, SD-View Concept can take on other functional roles (technological, building, Motor Control Center, etc.). Among these, we mention the two most widely used configurations.- SD-View Energy Profile which consists of software

characterisation, aimed at supervision and management of power consumption (of a factory, shopping mall, hotel, etc.). The module allows acquisition and supervision of water, gas, steam and electricity consumption, as well as calculation of the values and their attribution to the relative cost centres.

- SD-View Panel Control. This is the most suitable solution and, in view of its level of integration, the most economical one for supervision and control of a single switchgear.

The display and control unit is mounted directly in the medium and/or low voltage power distribution switchgear or, on request, in an additional dedicated panel.

SD-View Panel Control is based on Basic architecture and carries out the dual purpose of concentrating and displaying the information coming from the microprocessor-based and multi-function protection units of the power distribution switchgear.The investment in SD-View Panel Control is already amortised in the commissioning/start-up stage, allowing a simple check and set-up of the switchgear in the plant, and allows an archive of significant tracings and alarms to be set up right from the initial stages.

Local and Remote Monitoring and Technical AssistancePossible by means of usual methods (Intranet, Internet/WEB- Radio LAN, WAN, ADSL, GSM, GPRS, etc.)Sending groups of alarms by means of SMS.

ConnectionsConnections available by means of the most widespread communication standards (RS232, RS485, Ethernet, Fieldbus, etc.) using all means (copper, coax, optic fibres, wireless, etc.).

ProtocolsIt is able to interface with other systems using almost all public protocols as well as many propriety market protocols.

COM615Network gateway for electric substation automation systems

Characteristics• Display of all the single-line diagram primary devices • Identification of alarms and events with date, time, stall,

apparatus, description and state of the object• Control of the operating apparatus by means of separate

dialog windows • Freely defined Web links • Display of measurements• Availability of control and protection oscilloperturbography • Parameter setting tool • Diagnosis of component communication, including the

process apparatus• Four password levels • Multi-lingual support• Protocol conversion gateway for substation automation• Efficient and user-friendly configuration tool • Communication redundancy with optional LAN card• Extended support for putting into service and diagnosis• Complete management safety

ApplicationCOM615 combines the characteristics and functions of the COM605 Control and Monitoring unit and the COM610 Communication Gateway. It offers gateway functions for mapping the signals between the protection and control IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) in industrial or utility substations and higher level systems, and an HMI (Human Machine Interface) which displays the substation data and information at users’ disposal.COM615 collects the protection and control apparatus data, as well as that of the process apparatus, using different protocols. It uses web technology to show the data to the various users and to transfer that data to the NCC (Network Control Centre) or to the DCS (Distributed Control System).The protocols supported can be freely combined in a computer for substations, with the only limitation being the number of hardware interfaces present in COM615.

Connectivity packagesPackages for ABB’s protection and control IEDs are available to make the COM615 configuration more efficient. A connectivity package includes descriptions of the signal data available in the IED and the descriptions are used to automatically configure the communication master in the 3.2 COM615 gateway.The following connectivity packages are available:– REF 541/3/5, REM 543/5 and RET 541/3/5– REF 542plus– REX 521– RE_610– SPACOM (Conn Pack v. 2.0 supported by SPAJ 140, SPAJ

141, SPAJ 142, SPAJ 144, SPAD 346, SACO 16D1, SACO 16D2 and SACO 64D4)

The computer configurability and functionality for COM615 stations depends on the type of communication protocol used for communication between COM615 and the IEDs.

Design COM615 is made up of the OPC (Ole for Process Control) Data Access server and of the customer components. The OPC server guarantees access of the master/client protocol stacks to the data in the apparatus connected to the protocol.The OPC clients serve the slave/server protocol stacks to allow external systems to access the data available in the OPC server. They also serve to show the data to the embedded web server to allow external clients, connected to the COM615 by means of LAN/WAN networks, to access the data available in the web server.
