The main process information of the station shall be stored in distributed databases. The
typical SAS architecture shall be structured in two levels, i.e., in a station and a bay level.
At bay level, the IEDs shall provide all bay level functions regarding control, monitoring and

operation of all switching devices via the bay control IED.
Emergency operation:
It shall be possible to close or open the selected Circuit Breaker with ON or OFF push buttons
even during the outage of bay IED.
REMOTE mode
Tech. Spec. of Relay & Protection Panel- Rev 012 Page 62 of 145
Control authority in this mode is given to a higher level (Remote Control Centre) and the
installation can be controlled only remotely. Control operation from lower levels shall not be
possible in this operating mode.
Voltage selection.
The voltages relevant for the Synchro-check functions are dependent on the station topology,
i.e., on the positions of the circuit brakers and/or the isolators. The correct voltage for
synchronizing and energizing is derived from the auxiliary switches of the circuit breakers, the
isolator, and earthing switch and shall be selected automatically by the bay control and
protection IEDs.
IEDs, shall be connected to the communication infrastructure for data sharing and meet the
real-time communication requirements for automatic functions. The data presentation and the
configuration of the various IEDs shall be compatible with the overall system communication
and data exchange requirements.
Tech. Spec. of Relay & Protection Panel- Rev 012 Page 63 of 145
The position of each switchgear, e.g., circuit breaker, isolator, earthing switch, transformer tap
changer etc., shall be supervised continuously. Every detected change of position shall be
immediately displayed in the single-line diagram on the station HMI screen, recorded in the
event list, and a hard copy printout shall be produced. Alarms shall be initiated in the case of
spontaneous position changes.
The switchgear positions shall be indicated by two auxiliary switches, normally closed (NC)
and normally open (NO), which shall give ambivalent signals. An alarm shall be initiated if
these position indications are inconsistent or if the time required for operating mechanism to
change position exceeds a predefined limit.
The SAS shall also monitor the status of substation auxiliaries. The status and control of
auxiliaries shall be done through separate one or more IED and all alarm and analog values
shall be monitored and recorded through this IED.
3.2.2 Measurements.
a) Analog inputs for voltage and current measurements shall be connected directly to
the voltage transformers (VT) and the current transformers (CT) without intermediate
transducers. The values of active power (W), reactive power (VAR), frequency (Hz) and the
rms values for voltage (U) and current (I) shall be calculated. The measured values shall be
displayed locally on the Station HMI and in the Control Centre. The abnormal values must be
discarded. The analog values shall be updated every 2 seconds.
Events and alarms are generated either by the switchgear, by the control IEDs or by the station
level unit. They shall be recorded in an event list in the station HMI. Alarms shall be recorded
in a separate alarm list and appear on the screen. All, or a freely selectable group of events and
alarms shall also be printed out on an event printer. The alarms and events shall be time-
tagged with a time resolution of 1 ms.
Control operation from other places (e.g. REMOTE) shall not be possible in this operating
mode.
Tech. Spec. of Relay & Protection Panel- Rev 012 Page 64 of 145

position has been reached or an indication that the switching procedure was unsuccessful with
the indication of the reason for non-functioning.

indicated to the operator, possibly before they develop into serious situations. Such faults are
recorded as a faulty status in a system supervision display. This display shall cover the status
of the entire substation including all switchgear, IEDs, communication infrastructure and
remote communication links and printers at the station level etc.
