MEASUREMENT PRODUCT SOLUTIONS RPV311

CAPTION_WHITE_lore_ipsum_(Optional)

RPV architectureThe RPV architecture is comprised of separate processing and measurement acquisition units, which communicate using dedicated fibre-optic links of up to 2km, allowing flexible installation and mounting. It is possible to install all the units in one panel, in a centralised solution, or it is also possible to install the acquisition units in the protection panels, communicating to one central processing unit. In the distributed architecture the electrical cabling is reduced, since it is not necessary to take all signals to one concentrated DFR panel.

The RPV processing unit can be connected to either up to 8 RA331 Remote Acquisition Units, or to up to 4 RA332, or to up to 4 RA333, or a combination of them. Each RA331 can have up to 8 analogue inputs and 32 digital inputs, each RA332 can have up to 16 analogue inputs and 32 digital inputs, and each RA333 can have, in addition to the 3 default voltage high speed travelling-wave acquisition inputs, up to 8 analogue inputs and 16 digital inputs.

The RPV processing unit can also accept sample data inputs of analogue signals and digital inputs from IEC61850-9-2 merging units. The RPV can be connected to a combination of inputs from RA33x acquisition units and merging units.

The total number of input channels available in the scheme is 64 analogue inputs (current, voltage and DC transducer signals), 256 digital inputs and in addition up to 256 binary inputs related to GOOSE messages.The analogue inputs are sampled at 256 samples per cycle and have a frequency response of DC to 3 kHz.

The RPV is fitted with a 50GB solid state memory drive (SSD), and is time synchronised by connection to an external IRIG-B reference or using SNTP over Ethernet.

Remote interfaceThere is an integrated web-based graphical interface for monitoring and configuration of the RPV units.

The web-based interface allows the configuration of all features of the RPV311 either directly connected or via a remote Ethernet link. A standalone version of the configuration system is also available as part of the supplied RPV software tools to allow the configuration to be developed offline without the need to be connected to a physical unit. The configuration produced offline can be stored and then downloaded to multiple units using the web-based interface.

The monitoring interface allows measurements being generated by the RPV311 to be viewed without any other monitoring software needing to be available. This is particularly useful during commissioning when the RPV311 will probably be the first system commissioned.

CommunicationsThe RPV is fitted with 2 network Ethernet ports for communication to two separate networks or for redundant communications. Both copper and fibre (optional) ports are available. A third network Ethernet port for IEC61850-9-2LE communications is available.

Modbus, DNP3 and IEC 61850-8-1 protocols are implemented for integration with SCADA and DCS systems. An RS232C serial port is included for Modem communications.

Signalling outputsAvailable are 4 dry contact relays for remote signalling one of which is used by the device self-monitoring watchdog. The other 3 outputs are user configurable.

Local interfaceThe local interface consists of 4 buttons used to navigate the LCD display to show the unit status, monitor the measurement values, identify which record files have been generated, etc.

Process bus applications with IEC 61850-9-2The RPV is ready for sampled value applications according to IEC 61850-9-2LE. The distributed architecture of the scheme, whereby the RPV central unit subscribes to data from local or remote acquisition units means that the user can specify the MU320 as the chosen acquisition unit, or can subscribe directly to other merging units or digital instrument transformers which are publishers of sampled value data streams.

Interoperability is assured with Alstom’s own MU320 and MU Agile merging units, the COSI range of digital instrument transformers, plus third party devices compliant to the standard.

Conventional instrument transformers may be hardwired to RA33x or MU320 acquisition units, at the same time as other measurements are obtained from digital instrument transformers, allowing a mix of transformer technologies within a scheme.

Such flexibility permits standardisation of the DFR solution across substations employing different primary technology generations; it prepares for future substation extensions, and allows a migration path to the full digital substation.

The MU320 merging unit used to digitise the output of conventional CT and VTs has the advantage that it performs both an analogue merging unit function and binary I/O marshalling. It may be termed an integrated merging unit, making it particularly cost-effective in applications requiring bay measurements and switchgear control and monitoring in a single intelligent device. As per the RA33x, the MU320 may be deployed in a distributed scheme whereby it performs the plant interfacing in yard kiosks close to the switchgear.

RA33x technology and DC applicationsThe RA33x acquisition units use intelligent shunt measurement with optical isolation between the external world and the internal electronics. This extends Alstom’s leadership in digital instrument transformer (DIT) technology, such that the measurement circuit becomes a DIT “in the box”. The acquisition circuit is thus transformer-less, with no core to magnetise, no core to saturate, and hence negligible error. Such greater accuracy is important in high-precision measurement and phasor applications, whilst also permitting DC quantities to be measured.

The analogue acquisition in the scheme produces a more accurate representation of DC and harmonic components in AC applications, also supporting full DC application too. References exist for Reason DFR solutions deployed in HVDC installations.

Web-monitoring example: Trending of analogue quantities

The solution right from simple applications up to the full digital substation.

PHASOR MEASUREMENT UNIT (PMU)The RPV is able to construct accurate synchrophasor data based on the incoming measurements from the scheme’s acquisition units. This makes the solution highly scalable in terms of the number of analogue channels and phasors available. The scalability from small to large substations is achieved by means of additional acquisition units to accommodate the number of feeders, which is more cost-optimised than the addition of multiple discrete PMUs.

Further advantages are achieved in that the Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC) only needs to connect to a single point in the substation (the RPV, which also acts as the Substation Phasor Data Concentrator - sPDC) rather than requiring a connection to multiple discrete devices. Integrating the PMU function is an ideal way to make use of the measurement accuracy, the precision time distribution,

TRAVELLING WAVE FAULT LOCATIONTravelling wave (TW) fault location (TWFL) is a particularly efficient way to define precisely where a fault occurred on a transmission line, to locate it to the vicinity of a particular tower, or span length of conductors. Such accuracy to within a few hundreds of metres of the actual fault point is not possible to achieve with traditional impedance-based fault location, which conversely introduces measurement errors equivalent to a few percentage points of the full line length.

The MHz sampling rate of the Reason unit, and intelligent processing allow dedicated high speed algorithms to be implemented which accurately monitor the propagation of the disturbance along the monitored circuit, securing the high accuracy result

The highly reliable fault location system uses an innovative and patented combination of travelling wave and fault detection algorithms. All the triggers normally associated with Digital Fault Recorders (DFRs) can also be used as an external trigger to record the travelling wave associated with the event.

This trigger is generated after some pre-set limits are exceeded for magnitude, angle, frequency deviation, positive sequence, negative sequence, imbalance, harmonic distortion, and power. It is possible to monitor up to 4 circuits with each RPV by using the RA333 Remote Acquisition Units.

Precision is not affected by line resistance, mutual coupling effects (parallel lines), load, or compensation circuits (capacitor banks).

To monitor a transmission line, RPV systems are installed at each end of the line. The travelling wave records are captured in both units and are automatically transmitted to the Master station for the fault location to be calculated.

and the communication architecture already provided within our DFR scheme, negating the requirement to install a duplicate architecture solely for PMU purposes.

The RPV synchrophasor measurement and publishing are carried out according to IEEE C37.118, the standard for synchrophasors in power systems. The reported values are freely selectable by the user and include voltages and currents, positive and negative sequences for voltage and current circuits, frequency, scalar quantities such as DC signals, RMS values, voltage and current imbalances and THD, and the status of any digital channel. The RPV has been tested by NIST.

The RPV (PMU) is designed to monitor entire substations and power plants.In process bus architectures, the RPV acts as a smart protocol conversion from IEC 61850-9-2 to IEEE C37.118.

The Master station software permits users to display the fault location on a Google-earth map, onto which the GPS coordinates of substations, towers and conductors have been plotted. Maintenance crews are thus directed to the exact location of the fault, without the need to resort to vehicular, helicopter or foot-patrols to find the exact location.

Alstom is the leader in the field of travelling-wave fault location, as our techniques work equally-well for short-circuits and high impedance faults. The latter will typically confuse other vendor’s TWFL solutions as they rely on a change of state to “trigger” and will be unable to declare a calculation result, or will declare an inaccurate distance. The technique does not rely on a trigger, but correlates the trip command with the continuous disturbance record data, such that a correct result will be obtained. The TWFL can be compensated for the effects of conductor sag with varying ambient temperature and load current heating effects.

RECORDERSThe disturbance and fault (waveform) recorders are enabled by using triggers which can be generated from analogue, digital and virtual (GOOSE) inputs. The continuous recorder generates records with 16 points-per-cycle sampling rate (waveform) and 1 point-per-cycle sampling rate (magnitude, phase, RMS, frequency, positive and negative sequence, imbalance, THD, and apparent, active and reactive power). The continuous recorders are very useful tools for monitoring long term oscillations and wide area events.

History of recordersAlstom's Reason recorders have a long history being originally designed in 1996 and having been continuously developed since. Features have been added in response to market requirements as the need for more detailed monitoring of power systems has increased.

The latest generation of the Reason RPV311 has been developed to meet current and future recording requirements and for installation in the latest types of monitoring schemes. With support for IEC61850-8-1, IEC61850-9-2LE and synchrophasors (IEEE C37.118) the RPV311 is suited to Smart Grid and Digital substation applications and wide area monitoring.

AnaliseThe powerful analise package can merge multiple waveform files from different devices, time align them, and display as a single record for side-by-side signal analysis. This greatly assists in post-fault or post-disturbance analysis, where the types of IED and the availability of time-synchronising between substations may vary.

In addition, impedance based fault location and harmonic analysis calculations can be performed. The graphical analysis can be output in various picture formats and the related data can be exported in a form readable by Microsoft Excel.
